A320 TOGA thrust Take Off

[Neupielot]

Hi,

Can someone give me some guidance as in when TOGA thrust Take OFF is required on A320 plz? ( IAE engines )


1- Contaminated r/w
2- suspected Windshear?
3- when required by MEL ( unserviceabilities of certain equipments)


Pretty sure there are more but i don't know...what they are....

Low QNH? is it a requirement? If yes, how low ? ( and where can i find the reference for that :P )

Many thanks in advance for your help.:O

Additional considerations-
Use TOGA if final Flex temp calculated is below Tref or OAT. (FCOM-Perf-Takeoff-Thrust Options).

if you are performance limited to use FLEX

If you forget to enter a FLEX temperature in the PERF page..you select TOGA :ouch:

hi Neupilot,

4. deicing fluid has been applied.
5. 30 day TOGA use (company specific).

When deicing fluid has been used???

[dkz]

Maybe is company specific but there is no reference anywhere in Airbus manuals to use TOGA if you deiced ... unless, of course, the runway is contaminated (former FCOM2 - e.g. 4mm wet sn)

When FLEX is SOP (most carriers today), then a means must be in place to measure engine deterioration. Either a statistical databank and program is utilized, or else the operator must execute a TOGA periodically (30 days is typical).

In our company when dispatching with with more than one 1 MEL/CDL item performance penalty, and when departing a RWY not in the normal schedule, in variable winds associated with frontal or thunderstorm activity, inoperative equipment affecting crew workload eg inoperative engine gauges etc
