C
9 HYD G+Y SYS LO PR. Why is it so important to extend the gear not before CONF 3 is selected and VAPP
is reached?
A To increase the stall margin.
B ELAC stops to set the elevator neutral reference according to the trim requirements.

B
10 During engine start the PTU performs a power transfer from the yellow to the green hydraulic system.
What is the explanation?
A During engine start the PTU drives a test cycle.
B The PTU must be switched ON manually before engine start.
C When there is a pressure difference between the both hydraulic systems, the PTU will always perform a power transfer.
D There is a pressure difference between the both hydraulic systems with both engine master switches set to ON.
D
11 Shortly after engine start you want to read the T.O. checklist, but it has not yet appeared on the E/WD.
What should you do?
A Ask the purser to push the CABIN READY pushbutton, this initiates the T.O. checklist.
B You have to wait two minutes.
C Use the paper checklist on the CM 2 table.
D Push the T.O. CONFIG pushbutton and the T.O. checklist will appear.
D
12 The windshear warning is active
A only if both FAC`s are switched ON.
B always below 2500 ft RA.
C with flaps FULL and below 1300 ft RA.
D with flaps 1 or more and below 1300 ft RA.
D
13 On the A319 and A320 the fuel used to cool the integrated drive generators (IDG)
A stays in the engine.
B returns to the center tank.
C returns to the inner wing tanks.
D returns to the outer wing tanks.
D
14 If an APU fire warning occurs on ground
A you must immediately discharge the fire extinguisher.
B the fire extinguisher will be automatically discharged when the APU FIRE pushbutton is pressed.
C the fire extinguisher can be discharged from the external power panel.
D the fire extinguisher will be automatically discharged after 3 seconds.
D
15 The parking brake needs
A yellow ACCU pressure.
B blue ACCU pressure.
C green ACCU pressure.
D no hydraulic pressure.
A
16 You have a dual engine generator failure and the emergency generator supplies the aircraft with
electricity. Which statement is correct?
A FMGC 1 is available (NAV function only).
B Only FMGC 2 is available.
C Both FMGC`s are available.
D No FMGC is available.
A
17 Engine failure after liftoff, manual flight.
A Rudder trim executes trim orders to assist in engine failure recovery (long term yaw compensation).
B In manual flight there is no short or long term yaw compensation.
C Both, the short and long term yaw compensation are active to assist in the recovery.
D Short term yaw compensation is active to assist in engine failure recovery.
B
18 You are on radar vectors (HDG select) during approach, ATC clears you for descent.
A DES, OPEN DES or V/S mode may be used.
B Only OPEN DES mode may be engaged.
C Only V/S mode may be engaged.
D OPEN DES or V/S mode may be engaged.
D
19 Engine start, you forget to return the engine mode selector from IGN START to NORM. What
consequence does that have on the packs?
A They stay closed and the aircraft is unpressurized.
B They stay closed until takeoff, then they open to prevent an unpressurized takeoff.
C Nothing as long as they are still supplied by the APU.
D They open 30 seconds after last engine start valve closure.
D
20 At which fuel quantity is the “FUEL L ( R ) WING TK LO LVL” warning triggered on ECAM?
A Total fuel quantity below 500 kg.
B Center tank below 250 kg.
C Any wing tank below 750 kg.
D Any wing tank below 250 kg.
C
21 You have moved the flap lever from 1 to 0. On the E/WD “A LOCK” flashes. What is the reason?
A The slats cannot retract because the associated SFCC has failed. The flaps have retracted normally.
B The slats cannot retract, because the AOA is too high. The flaps have retracted normally.
C The slats and flaps are locked in CONF 1+F, because your airspeed is too low.
D The flaps cannot retract because the associated SFCC has failed. The slats have retracted normally.
B
22 During cruise flight, autothrust is ON, but the thrust levers are not in the CL detent. In this case
A autothrust will disengage some seconds after the thrust levers are set out of the CL detent.
B autothrust is active and computes thrust limited to the thrust lever position.
C autothrust is armed but not active.
D autothrust is active and computes the thrust up to climb power.
B
23 The autoland light is active

B only with both AP ON.
C below 350 ft RA.
D also in manual flight with excessive GS or LOC deviation.
A
24 You are working on a level 2 failure (amber caution), when the flight warning computer (FWC) notices a

B The level 3 failure is put on top of the list.
C Depends on, if the procedure for the level 2 failure is already commenced or not.
D The level 2 failure is cleared and replaced by the level 3 failure.
B
