A320 overflow ecam
Hello guys,
Can somebody tell where I can read the exact wording of the ecam overflow in the fctm? Is it pm : clear? Not sure about that
And couldn't find the reference
Thanks

That's a really good question which is not answered anywhere in the manuals.
In the absence of any official guidance, I teach the guys to use the standard words as per FCTM OP-040 ECAM e.g. "Clear Engine?" although that is not strictly what they are doing.
I'm sure other guys will come up with other suggestions which are just as effective.
Cheers

Hi FlightDetent,
If you think of reading ECAM like trying to read a newspaper through a letter box, then you'll have a better idea how to manage it.
If the number of blue action lines in a procedure (or amber lines on Status page) exceeds the space allowed, then it will show a green overflow arrow. When you've read the bottom line of the page ask "Clear Overflow?" or "Next Page?" and one press of the clear button will take you to page 2 of the same procedure (Status).
Is there a way to pull out the overflow lines without clearing the system?

GR, thanks. I have a gut feeling - probably wrong - you actually could call the overflowed part without CLR-ing the upper one. Your calls make no sense, not that I can suggest better ones though!

When you do it in the sim, you get to see the "next page".
