How should you cancel a “ENG THR LEVERS NOT SET” caution during takeoff?

Advance the thrust levers to TO/GA

Which is NOT a position defined by a stop or detent

REV IDLE

The A/THR is armed on the ground by setting the thrust levers to _____ with at least one FD on

FLX with a FLEX temperature entered in the FMGC

The auto thrust will not arm when the thrust levers are advanced for takeoff if both _____ are off

FDs

Autothrust arming is confirmed when A/THR is displayed in _____ in the right column (column 5) of the FMA and the A/THR button is illuminated green

Blue

The A/THR is engaged in flight by

Setting thrust levers in the engagement range with the auto thrust system armed

The engagement range of the A/THR with both engines running is

Forward of IDLE to CL

The engaged mode of the A/THR is displayed in _____ in the left column (column 1) of the FMA

Green

An engaged auto thrust system reverts to which mode when the flight directors and autopilots are selected off

SPEED

The engagement range of the A/THR with one engine running is

Forward of IDLE detent to FLX/MCT detent

What action will not disconnect the auto thrust system?

Flying the airplane into an ALPHA FLOOR condition

How can a change in thrust be avoided when disconnecting the A/THR system

Matching the lever to existing power setting before disconnecting

Holding the auto thrust disconnect button for more than _____ seconds causes a loss of auto thrust system and loss of alpha floor protection for the remainder of the flight

15 seconds

The auto thrust system can be disconnected by

Positioning both thrust levers to the idle stop

Thrust lock is caused by

Failure of the A/THR system

After recovery from an alpha floor engagement, _____ is annunciated in the green on the FMA

TOGO LK

How can thrust control be regained after a TOGA LK condition

Disconnecting the Autothrust system

The A/THR RETARD mode is only available during a/an ______ landing

Automatic

According to the graphic, what is the condition of the engines

Reverser doors are not stowed or are unlocked

The majority of the APU system logic is controlled by

Electronic Control Box (ECB)

The APU start sequence

Is completely automatic once initiated

While preflighting with the APU running, you hear a horn in the nose wheel the may indicate

An APU fire

During the initial flight deck preparation you notice an illuminated APU MASTER switch FAULT light. What does this indicate

APU has shut down automatically

Fuel is normally supplied to the APU from

The left fuel feed line

APU my be started by using normal electrics up to

39,000 feet

When the APU MASTER switch is selected OFF, the APU may continue to run for up to _____ minutes to cool before shutdown

The APU MASTER switch FAULT light illuminates amber when

An APU automatic shutdown occurs

An APU auto shutdown occurs and an APU MASTER switch FAULT light illuminates amber for which of the following

APU overspeed or under speed

What pilot actions are required for an APU fire on the ground

Follow ECAM procedure. APU auto shutdown and fire extinguishing is automatic
