Airbus PACKS OFF Take-off
Do any of you guys use PACKS OFF Take-off as the standard procedure on the Airbus SA family?
If you also use the standard ICAO noise abatement procedure i.e. reduce thrust at 1500’ AAL and accelerate at 3000’ AAL, did you find a way to tweak your procedure to avoid the AIR PACK 2 OFF warning which is triggered if the standard Airbus SOP is followed i.e. PACK 1 … ON at THR RED, and PACK 2 … ON at ACC ALT?
Airbus SOP also state that PACK 2 may be selected ON earlier and I wonder if someone has found the optimum procedure.
In $$$, what are the savings per take-off that one would expect by systematically using as PACKS OFF take-off?
Thanks for any feedback.
