Flight Instruments

Question 0

Is the radar display available in all modes of the ND selector?

Answer 0

No, radar is not available in PLAN

Question 1

Are there any procedures that call for the use of the VOR switch installed on the EFIS CONTROL panel?

Answer 1

Yes, VOR approaches or DME info

Question 2

When the ILS pb is selected, where will the localizer and g/s scales be displayed?

Answer 2

Onside PFD

Question 3

What does STS indicate when displayed on the EWD?

Answer 3

The STATUS page holds messages

Question 4

If the upper ECAM display fails, what happens automatically?

Answer 4

EWD display replaces the SD display on the lower ECAM

Question 5

If the lower ECAM fails, can we display the lower ECAM data?

Answer 5

We could press and hold the desired systems page pb on the ECAM control panel, and the page will be displayed on the upper ECAM. we could also select the rotary switch labeled ECAM/ND XFR on the switching panel to Capt or FO.

Question 6

Describe the purpose of the EIS switching panel?

Answer 6

Permits cockpit display screens to access secondary sources.

Question 7

Can the lower ECAM display be transferred to another display?

Answer 7

Yes

Question 8

DMC 1 (or 2) has failed. Can the information on the affected displays be restored?

Answer 8

Yes. Rotate the switch labeled EIS DMC to replace the failed DMC with DMC 3.

Question 9

What happens when TO CONFIG pb is depressed?

Answer 9

An application of takeoff power is simulated. A warning occurs if The aircraft is not in the takeoff configuration

Question 10

If during flight we received continuous spurious warning messages that we knew to be incorrect, is there a way to cancel this caution?

Answer 10

By depressing the EMER CANC pb, we can cancel the level 1 and 2 caution msgs only (along with the MC), however that specific caution is now inhibited for the remainder of the flight.

Question 11

We have pressed the EMER CANC pb. How can we get the system back to normal?

Answer 11

By pressing the RCL pb for more than 3 seconds.

Question 12

How could we check the status page for inoperative systems or MX messages?

Answer 12

Press the STS pb

Question 13

Why is it very important to maintain a ‘lights out’ condition on the ECP during the flight?

Answer 13

Because the automatic phase of flight function and display of the relative system on the lower ECAM during an abnormal will be inhibited by the page we have displayed.

Question 14

We have 3 DMCs which acquire and process all info and signals received from the sensors and computers to generate the images displayed on the DUs. Where is the information normally displayed from DMC 1 and 2?

Answer 14

Normally DMC 1 supplies data to PFD 1, ND 1, and upper ECAM. DMC 2 supplies data to PFD2, ND 2, and lower ECAM.

Question 15

How is a DMC failure displayed?

Answer 15

A diagonal display on the associated DUs.

Question 16

If a display unit failed, would the screen have a diagonal line through it?

Answer 16

No, the display would be blank.

Question 17

How many VOR and DME receivers are on the aircraft?

Answer 17

2 of each

Question 18

If all systems were working normally, and a crew member wanted to remotely tune a VOR through the RMP, would that have any effect on the FMGC NAV functions?

Answer 18

Yes, if either pilot lifts the guard and presses NAV, auto tuning and FMGC radio position updating is superseded and the RAD NAV page is blanked. NAV on RMP3 will have no effect.

Question 19

When would you use the RMP to tune an ILS?

Answer 19

When both FMGCs or MCDUs are inoperative, or during emergency electrical configuration.

Question 20

Can 2 different ILS frequencies be tuned at the same time?

Answer 20

No, whether auto tuned, manually tuned, or RMP tuned, we can only input one ILS freq.

Question 21

If the LOC or G/S fails, what would be indicated on the PFD?

Answer 21

In place of the LOC or GS diamond, we would see LOC or GS in red on the PFD of the failed receiver. In ROSE ILS, we would see a red LOC or GS flag.
