Nn Flashcards
1
Q
When can we reduce RVR’s from 300/125/75 (CAT II) and 200/125/75 (CAT IIIA) to 300/75/75 and 200/75/75?
A
If we have a rollout guidance system for the middle part and the end part is not relevant.
2
Q
What is alert height?
A
100ft RA. It’s the characteristics of the airplane and it’s fail operational landing system which we will execute a missed approach above it if we get any failure on the redundant part of the automatic landing system or the ground equipment. Below AH, we will continue even if we get any failures ECXEPT if the LAND red light flashes.
3
Q
When is the red Autoland armed and when can it be triggered? 4
A
Armed below 200ft RA,
triggered if: both AP’s trips off, Excessive beam deviation is sensed, LOC or GS transmitter fails and discrepancies between the both RA’s more than 15ft.
4
Q
What does CAT III DUAL mean on FMA
A
It’s the airplanes fail operational system which means if one part of the automatic landing system fails below alert height, the other will take over to complete the automatic landing, flare and rollout.
5
Q
What does CAT III single means in FMA?
A
It’s the aircraft fail passive system. In case of failure below AH, there is no remaining part that can take over to complete the landing, flare and rollout which means that the pilot needs to complete it manually or perform a go around.
6
Q
What do we need to see to continue a CAT II approach on the DH?
On CAT III A?
A
Three consecutive lights of the approach lighting system, the threshold lights, runway centerline lines runway edge lights, touchdown zone light or a combination of these.
Also a lateral element of the ground pattern like approach lighting crossbar, threshold lights (green) or barrette of the TDZ lights.
The DH is to low, so the same except the approach lighting system because we have passed them and also not the lateral element of the ground pattern.
7
Q
When does LAND, flare/no flare and rollout/no rollout appears on FMA?
A
Land = earliest 400ft, latest 350ft RA
Flare = earliest 40ft, latest 30ft.
Rollout = as soon as one of the main landing gears touches the ground.
8
Q
What does LAND arm on the FMA? What happens when we see LAND on FMA?
A
Arms the flare and rollout mode. The FMGC and FCU freezes and aircraft is in land mode. We can only get out of it by applying TOGA thrust.
9
Q
How far is it between centerline lights and the edge lights?
Can the towers RVR report be overridden by pilots?
A
15m between centerline lights and 60m between the edge lights.
Yes? We calculate amount of centerline lights we see. 9x15=135. We need to see at least 9 centerline lights to be able to depart with lowest LVO (125m).
10
Q
When must LVP procedure be in force?
A
Depends from airport to airport but it should be when RVR is below 400m.
11
Q
An LVTO is a take off on a runway where the RVR is? Performed by?
Is use of flex permitted?
What about if RVR is below 150m?
A
Below 550m = LVTO. (New, before it was 400m)
Performed by CM1.
Yes.
Then we need special approval from the authority.
12
Q
Pilot incapacitated = what do we do during climb/descend or approach?
A
Climb = climb to MSA
Descent = monitor MSA = don’t descend below MSA unless everything is finished.
Approach = go-around.
13
Q
What is the detection capability of the TCAS?
MAXIMUM ALTITUDE RANGE?
A
30NM either side (laterally) and 30-80NM longitudinally
9900FT above and below.
14
Q
TCAS RA = collision after?
TCAS TA = collision after?
A
Real collision threat = 25s.
Potential collision threat = 40s
15
Q
If we have TA/RA selected, when does it automatically reverts to TA? 4
A
If we get wind shear warning, stall warning, GPWS alert and aircraft is below 1000ft.
16
Q
When is AP/FD TCAS inhibited? 2
A
If we have TA and not TA/RA and below 900ft AGL.
17
Q
When is TA inhibited during climb and descend?
A
Below 600ft AGL in climb and below 400ft AGL in descent.
18
Q
When is RA inhibited during climb and descend?
A
Below 1100 AGL in climb and 900ft AGL in descent.
19
Q
Fuel leak procedure: if not confirmed it’s coming from the engine or leak is not located we need to isolate each wing. We maintain the cross feed valve closed and switch off the center pumps to?
If fuel symmetrically decreases in both wing tanks and the fuel quantity in the center tank decreases it means?
A
Because when we do like this each wing tank feeds it’s associated engine. We monitor the fuel and If fuel decreases faster in one wing = we know that the fuel leak comes from that side.
It means fuel leak comes from the center tank or APU feed line.
20
Q
What does the cross feed button in the overhead FUEL do?
A
When we press it (on) = allows both engines to be fed from one side or one engine to be fed from both sides.
21
Q
When does tailpipe fire occur and Why does tailpipe fire occur?
A
Only on ground/during engine start/engine shutdown.
Occur because we have excessive fuel in the combustion chamber, turbine or exhaust nozzle.
22
Q
There is no ECAM alerts of tailpipe fire, which indications can maybe help us?
Procedure in QRH.
A
The EGT will increase due to fire in the turbines, we can check the EGT in E/WD.
23
Q
Why do the QRH tell us to shut down the engine and to dry crank the engine in case of tailpipe fire?
A
To stop the fuel flow to the engine (shut down) and to remove the remaining fuel in the engine. We want to clean the fuel in the engine.
24
Q
The performance impact of a tire burst is equivalent to?
A
To a brake released = we put ONE BRK release failure in case of 1 tire and TWO BRK release failure in case of 2 tires in the PERF calculation application.
25
Why does the QRH tell us to not apply reversers if we have fuel leak?
To prevent contact between fuel and hit surfaces of engines and brakes.
26
What does engine stall mean?
How do we detect it? 4.
We have QRH ENG 1(2) stall to this.
When the compressor blades are stalled = they are not able anymore to compress the air from the front to the end of the engine.
Loud bang, instant loose if thrust in affected side, fluctuation of the engine parameters and an increase of EGT.
27
When is engine secured?
No damage,
Damage,
Fire
No damage = when thrust lever idle and ENG master off on the affected side.
Damage = Thrust lever idle, ENG master off, ENG fire push button push and Agent 1 pressed.
Fire = Damage = Thrust lever idle, ENG master off, ENG fire push button push and Agent 1 and agent 2 pressed. Check the red lights goes blank on the overhead and beside the ENG masters.
28
When can we see that the engine is damaged? 5
Loud noise/bang, Amber crosses, N1 or N2 = 0, high EGT, loss of oil/hydraulic fluid
29
How is the flow when PF initiates go around and calls “Go around Flaps” 3
1: PM sets the flaps 1 step up normally from full to 3.
2: PM says positive climb. PF responds gear up
3: PM says gear up, flaps 3, 3000ft checked.
30
If we get go around above the missed approach altitude how do we do?
We call cancel approach, we don’t touch the thrust levers, disarm the APPR button and descends to the missed approach altitude with V/S.
31
When does ECAM inhibits the warnings? 2
From 80kt during rolling up to 1500ft or 2min after lift-off whichever occurs first.
32
If the airplane tends to skid sideways, what is god to do?
To release the brakes = press to deactivate the auto brake = contributing to maintaining and regaining directional control.
33
RWYCC 6 = dry = max crosswind on TOF/LDG/Narrow
TOF/LDG = 38kt.
Narrow = 20kt.
34
RWYCC 5 = good = max crosswind on TOF/LDG/Narrow
TOF = 29kt.
LDG = 33kt.
Narrow = 20kt.
35
RWYCC 4 = good to medium = max crosswind on TOF/LDG/Narrow
TOF and LDG = 20kt.
Narrow = 10kt.
36
RWYCC 3 = medium = max crosswind on TOF/LDG/Narrow
TOF and LDG = 15kt.
Narrow = 10kt.
37
What is pitch angle?
Angle between the longitudinal axis of the airplane and the horizon.
38
What is flight path angle?
Angle between the flight path vector and the horizon.
39
What is AOA?
Difference between the pitch angle and the flight path angle.
40
What is VA prot? When mach increases?
What is VA Max? When mach increases?
Maximum AOA speed at which alpha protection becomes active in normal law. The AOA value of it decreases as the mach increases = the alpha protection strip on the PFD moves upwards.
Maximum AOA speed in normal law = maximum AOA aircraft can fly in normal law. It decreases when mach increases.
41
When does the alpha floor protection kicks in?
What does it do?
Between Valpha prot and Valpha max.
It orders TOGA thrust = we get TOGA lock in FMA = thrust locked in TOGA.
42
How do we get out of TOGA lock?
We disconnects the auto thrust from the two red buttons, we increase the thrust to the dot (required thrust) and we activate auto thrust again from the FCU.
43
IR1 and IR2 give information to?
IR1 to PFD/ND 1 and IR2 to PFD/ND 2
44
What is mixed IRS position?
Each IR calculates its own values and are then compared to give an average position = mixed IRS position.
45
What is an IR and what does it provide? 8
Laser based inertial reference system (aircraft sensors) which provides attitude, heading, aircraft position, track, heading, acceleration, ground speed and the flight path vector.
46
Each laser gyro measures the rotation around its three axis (yaw = heading, pitch and roll = bank). The IR’s also have three accelerometers aligned with each axis of the aircraft to measure the?
Speed changes/acceleration.
47
When aircraft on ground, the only acceleration detected by the accelerometers are?
The earths gravity. = based on that it can measure the true north. Then it counts for the variation to show us the heading on the ND after the alignment.
48
What does the alignment time on the IR’s depends on?
Temperature and latitude. Lower temp = longer time to warm up the alignment process.
49
What is VREF?
Landing approach speed when we pass 50ft over the threshold in CONFIG FULL. (1.3 times the stalling speed)
50
How do we insert VREF+15 in the FMGC?
VREF = VAPP in config full (speed we pass 50ft over the threshold).
1. We check the value on our VLS with CONFIG FULL. Say VLS = 135.
2. Then we change from CONFIG FULL to CONFIG 3.
3. We then add 15kt to it and now we set VAPP as (135+15) = 150kt.
51
VAPP is calculated by?
VLS is calculated by?
VAPP = FMGC (values we have inserted like QNH, wind, temp etc.)
VLS = FAC.
52
VAPP = greater of VLS?
VLS+5kt or VLS + 1/3 of the TWR reported headwind limited to 0-15kt.
53
What should we do if we get NAV ATT discrepancies?
We compare both of our attitudes on the PFD with the STBY. The PFD that matches with the STBY = correct. If we have the IR3 = we can turn the ATT/HDG switching button to the affected side.
54
What do we get if we get dual LGCIU failures? 6
Why do we set the GPWS SYS button to off?
We will get AUTO FLT A/THR OFF on E/WD, THR LK displayed in the FMA, Reverse 1+2 INOP, AP 1+2 INOP, Flap 3 for landing, Gravity gear extension.
Because GPWS will shout because it receives L/G is in up position even if the LDG gear is down.
55
The landing gear panel is connected to?
Which means if it fails?
LGCIU1.
The landing gear panel will be blank and the wheel page will have Amber crosses only = we can’t see the status of the landing gear.
56
GPS primary lost: how does it work?
Airplane determines it’s position on the map by the satellites and the IRS. Aircraft receives at least 4 satellite signals to pin point its location. If we loose the GPS = we can still rely on the IRS (check we have accuracy high).
57
Navigation FM/GPS POS disagree: how do we check?
We have QRH for this.
1. We check the PROG page. If estimated ACCUR = above required = don’t rely on NAV, fly HDG/TRACK = raw data.
2. Compare the positions of both FM’s with the GPIRS position on the MCDU position monitor page. If one FM position agrees with the onside GPIRS = use the associated AP/FD.
If both FM positions don’t agree with the onside GPIRS = deselect GPS and use raw data.
58
Auto flight map shift slow: How can we perform a navigation accuracy check?
What is the maximum difference?
We compare the FM positions (PROG PAGE calculated with FMGC) with the radio position/IR positions (bearing and distance VOR/DME or DME/DME). We insert the VOR in the PROG page and then we compare the bearing and distance on PROG page with the bearing and distance on the bottom left and right side on the ND.
If difference below 3NM = check is positive and realible.
59
One landing gear in abnormal position means what to auto brake and ground spoilers?
Auto brake can not be activated and the ground spoilers not armed.
60
Why do we select NWS STRG off/anti skid off if we have landing with abnormal gear?
The reference speed used by the anti skid to detect a wheel blockage is not correct = anti skid must be turned off to prevent permanent brake release.
61
Why do we turn RAM AIR on when we have landing with abnormal LG?
Limitation for ram air?
To ensure full depressurization of the aircraft before landing.
Below 10000ft and delta P is 1 PSI
62
Loss of braking memory items
Why do we say NWS/STRG off?
1. Full reverse
2. Release brakes
3. Order NWS/STRG off (anti skid off = ABCU takes over from BSCU = alternate brakes are now active).
4. Apply max 7 brake applications (ABCU automatically limits the brake pressure to 1000 PSI).
5. If still no braking = use parking brake (short parking brake applications)
Because the ABCU kicks in (alternate brakes).
63
Localiser approach, deviation calls:
XTK more than?
LOC deviation more than?

Descent point
On the mile
Descent point, next 7 miles 2380.
7 miles, on profile/20ft high/low, next 6 miles 1770ft.
66
How does the GPS work?
It receives information from the satellites and gives very accurate position to the FMGC. The MMR process the data received and transfer the data to each ADIRS which then performs a position calculating.
The FMGS also use then this calculation to determine the position/heading and FM position of the aircraft = what we see on FMGC DATA MONITOR page.
67
What is SRS? When is it triggered and when does it disengage?
What should we not do during SRS? 3
Speed reference system. Managed mode used at take-off or go-around to maintain SRS speed (V2, V2+10) etc.
Triggered when we set thrust to FLX or TOGA and it disengages automatically at acceleration altitude.
Don´t clean up the aircraft, don´t switch to standard, and don´t change speed.
68
AP/FD and A/THR are all connected to?
What happens with the auto thrust if we takeoff without FD on?
Connected to the FMGC.
The A/THR will not be armed when we set FLEX and on acceleration altitude when we set the thrust to CLB, it will not activate the A/THR.
69
What is V2?
It ensures?
Minimum speed that needs to be maintained up to acceleration altitude in the event of engine failure after V1. Ensures minimum required climb gradient is achieved.
70
Is the STBY ports connected to the 3 ADIRUs? It means?
No, it is not. It means if we get total ADIRU failure, we will still have the STBY information. The aircraft takes the information direct from the STBY port = shown on ISIS.
71
Fully stabilized is defined as:
ON profile =
Estbalished on correct x and x =
Configuration =
IAS =
V/S =
Within 1 dot GS, within 1 light high or low on the PAPI
Established on correft lateral and vertical flight path
Landing configuration
IAS = VAPP target, -5/10kt
V/S not higher than 1000FPM
72
What is GS mini?
Wind changes due to gust etc. Function is to keep the aircraft energy level above a minimum value.
GS mini = VAPP - Tower headwind component
IAS target speed (VAPP) = GS mini + current headwind
IF VLS = 130kt. THR HDW = 20kt, VAPP = 130 + 1/3 HWC = 137kt. GS mini = 137 - 20kt = 117kt.
73
What is the two different thrust modes? SPEED/MACH and THR CLB/THR IDLE
When does the A/THR enganges during climb?
SPEED/MACH = system adjust the thrust to maintain a target speed/mach number. It´s priority is the speed.
THR CLB/THR IDLE= the system provides constant thurst. It´s priority is to keep constant thrust.
When we set the THR levers to CLB DETENT when passing thrust reduction altitude.
74
What is MCTA? How much does it cover during SID/STAR and in cruise? Lowest possible MCTA and when MCTA is not provided?
MINIMUM TERRAIN CLEARENCE ALTITUDE. COVERS TERRAIN AND OBSTACLES ON SID/STAR/ROUTE.
5NM EITHER SIDE OF CENTERLINE FOR SID/STAR.
10NM EITHER SIDE OF CENTERLINE FOR ROUTES.
TERRAIN UP TO 6000FT = 1000FT CLEARENCE. TERRAIN ABOVE 6000FT = 2000FT CLEARENCE
Lowest = 3100ft = means if it is not provided 3000ft is a safe altitude always.
75
When is speed brake extension inhibited on A320 and on A321?
A320 = flaps full.
A321 = CONF 3 and FLAPS full.
76
To loose altitude on low altitudes, A320 and A321. Flaps, speed and?
A320 = Flaps 2, SELECTED speed 185, half speedbrakes. WE CAN DISCONNECT AP TO USE FULL SPEEDBRAKES.
A321 = Flaps 2, speed 185-200kt, full speedbrakes.
77
When does the FMA changes from SRS to CLB on FMA and where does the speed trend jump?
At the acceleration altitude, jumps to managed target speed, constraint (250kt) or preselected speed.

Speed drops quickly, we need not delay the descend.
1. I have control, I have communication.
2. Set both the thrust levers to MCT.
3. Disconnect the A/THR.
4. HDG = set and pull as appropriate. Check were the terrain is on the ND and turn away from it.
5. Check PROG page EO MAX altitude
6. WZZ151 PAN PAN PAN, engine failure descending to FL240 (EO MAX).
1. We set speed mach 0.82/300kt and pull.
2. Altitude on FCU set and pull.
3. Don´t hurry with the ECAM actions, do it during the descend.
When V/S becomes less than 500ft/min, we set V/S 500ft/min and A/THR on.
84
What should we think about when it comes to the VLS in icing conditions?
VAPP = VLS+5kt (config full) and VAPP=VLS+10 other than config full.
85
Limitation for ILS beam. 3. (To be required to perform autoland)
G/S angle between 2.5 and -3.15 degrees.
Airport elevation at or below 5750ft.
Below maximum landing weight.
86
Climb flight level 310 and pass IRKED at FL310. How do we do?
We go to Irked and put vertically altitude constraint at 31000ft. Then we go to selected speed and reduce our speed to get a higher climb rate. We check the level off arrow on ND and we adjust our speed so we put the arrow on the point.
87
How does the FMGC compute it´s own radio position?
Which navaids are available? Ordning.
What does it use to compute lateral position?
Use onside navaids to compute its own radio position = displayed on selected navaid page.

Minimum 5000ft vertically and 20NM Laterally.
93
When and how do we set the pack flow to LO on A320?
UNTIL T/C = below 188 passengers
AFTER T/C = IF passengers below 136 = keep on LO otherwise set to normal
94
When and how do we set the pack flow to LO/ECON on on A321?
UNTIL T/C = below 225 passengers
AFTER T/C = IF passengers below 162 = keep on LO/ECON ON, otherwise set to normal
95
When will we get ”NAV ATT DISCREPANCY” on ECAM?
When the difference between the roll or pitch angle displayed on CAPT and F/O PFDs is greater than 5 degrees.
96
How much is the drift rate on the IRS?
0.6NM/h.
97
We will both loose normal indicated airspeed. What should we do?
What does G-loads depends on?
We can set the Air data switching to either side to recover.
Depends on AOA and is not related to speed and or/attitude.
98
Pitch is equal to what in level flight?
AOA.
99
Why do we push/unload first during stall?
Because we need to regain lift in the aircraft wings = speed increases. It’s the first priority, the altitude we loose is secondary. We can only trade altitude for airspeed.
100
Why do we loose more altitude if we do the stall recovery in high altitudes?
Because the air is less dense = takes more time to regain lift and we have less margin to critical AOA.
101
What do we do if we get side stick fault?
We transfer the controls to the other pilot.
102
What will be displayed on PFD when we get direct law?
USE MAN PITCH TRIM. We need to trim the aircraft manually.
103
Landing gears are hydraulically operated. (Green hydraulic system). In some cases we need to the gravity gear extension. We turn it 3 times clockwise.
What does the first, second and third turn do?
1st turn = depressurizing the green hydraulic system from the landing gears.
2nd turn = mechanically release the landing gear doors = they open.
3d turn = mechanically release of the landing gears = falls down by it’s own weight and gravity.
104
Engine failure: With engine mode selector on ignition and thrust lever to idle what will the FADEC do?
It will try an automatic relight of the engine.
105
If we get ENG 1 or 2 A.ICE valve fault, what happens with we valve?
If we get WING anti ice fault?
It will stay in open position.
It will stay in closed position.
106
EVAL1 = 1. We will get “Landing gear right or left main gear tire burst” close to V1.
2. We will get ”fuel leak R-inner or L-inner tank at V1”.
3. When we retract the gear, we will get ”landing gear retraction fault.
What should we do?
We continue to climb to MSA (3600ft). We continue on our SID to Duzla and can Ask for a hold there. Since we get landing gear retraction fault we will fly with the gears down = 180% more fuel consumption. Request ECAM actions only when climbing on a safe climb.
We will probably get “L/G gear uplock fault or L/G not uplocked on ECAM” and we will do the procedure.
We will do the fuel leak procedure on QRH and shut down one engine. When the engine is shut down the leak should stop. This means we are going to perform the approach and landing with one engine only.
We will perform FDODAR, on A = we will inform the crew and make a NITS, we can report PAN PAN to the tower and our intention is to come back for an approach.
Since we will have poor visibility RVR 200m the captain should land with autoland. Below 1000ft the required visibility is below minima but we can continue to the DH and decide otherwise go-around.
107
When we get landing gear retraction fault in the STATUS page we will see “FMS PRED unrealiable” what does this mean? 4
1. Disregard FMS fuel predictions. Refer to the QRH/fuel penalty factors/ECAM alert table.
2. Disregard FMS altitude and speed predictions.
3. So not use managed speed mode except in approach.
4. Do not use CLB and DES autopilot modes. Very important.
108
EVAL 2: 1. Downwind LHBP RWY31R 4000ft. We will get TCAS TA and RA. Shortly before it we will get AUTO FLT TCAS MODE FAULT = we need to fly it manually. How is the procedure for PF and PM?
2. We continue to approach, icing conditions, before we descend below 3000ft and we set the ENG A/ICE on = we will get ENG 1 or 2 A.ice fault. The valves will stay on open position. At DA = we go around and PF will be incapacitated.
1. PF: TCAS I HAVE CONTROL, when RA comes = AP OFF order FD’s off climb to the green area.
PM: Turns off the FD’s and inform ATC, WZZ131 TCAS RA
When clear of conflict = PF descend to the last altitude (4000ft), engage AP and FD’s.
PM informs ATC “WZZ131 clear of conflict, descending to 4000ft”.
109
ENG STALL before V1 at LVO 125m= RTO. What should the F/O call out? 5.
Which procedure should we do?
Spoilers, reverse green, decel, inform ATC “WZZ132 stopping” and locate EMER EVAC checklist.
Since we are in ground we don’t use the QRH ENG STALL procedure. We can because it has a ground section but it’s same as ECAM. It’s read and to with no confirmation on ground = THR lever affected engine = idle and ENG master affected engine = OFF. We don’t need to discharge the fire bottles/agents.
110
Tailpipe fire. Which procedure do we do?
On the checklist it says “Establish air bleed pressure”, what do they mean?
We don’t have ECAM for this, we stop the aircraft with parking brake and do the ENG tailpipe procedure on QRH.
Select APU ON or opposite bleed (opposite engine) to motor the engine. In this case we have the other engine which are supplying bleed we don’t need APU.
111
Engine failure, threshold 31R with RVR125m. Which engine failure will we get?
ENG failure (damage) and extinguishable fire by first agent.

We call "TCAS I HAVE CONTROL". AP off, order FD´s off and go to the green area. Clear of conflict = smoothly recover to cleared flight level, order FD´s on , set AP on.
139
How do we perform a fuel check?
We add the fuel used to the remaining fuel and compare it with the FINAL BLOCK fuel we had on departure.

If fuel of one wing tank decreases abnormally fast what can we expect?
If the fuel flow is excessive?
Leak from engine/pylon or hole in a tank.
Leak from engine, it uses abnormally more fuel.
141
Why don´t we use the ENGINE FIRE pushbuttons or agents in case of TAILPIPE FIRE?
What is important to ask ATC/GROUND after the procedure is done?
FIRE PUSHBUTTONS = It will cut the FADEC power supply and this prevents the dry crank sequence which is the only action against tailpipe fire.
AGENTS = they will be discharged outside of the engine core on the part of engine that is not affected by tailpipe fire.
Ask if they still see fire and if not, we can continue to complete the checklist.
142
When landing on contaminated runway it is recommended to?
To perform a positive landing to minimze the risk of hydroplanning.
143

149
As mach number increases, airflow over?
What happens at the critical AOA?
Difference between straight and swept wings?
Airflow over parts of the airplane begins to exceed the speed of sound = shock waves = can cause local flow seperation and buffet.
The flow breaks down and the surface is considered stalled.
Swept wings stall at higher AOA = stall may not be well defined.
150
The flight path angle is the same as?

Changes the stall speed.
Reached at higher speeds.
154
Green dot and VLS is based on?

On the weight of the aircraft (when we insert ZFW).
Becuase CAS comes from different sources for the left and right PFD.
155
In normal law, what will happen if we exceed the AOA value of the Valpha prot?
High AOA protections kicks in = nose down pitch rate ordered by the flight controls. Further increasing the AOA = Valpha MAX = Alpha floor = TOGA = TOGA lock.
156
Valpha prot and Valpha MAX air mainly computed based on the and will vary with? 3
AOA and it will vary with configuration, weight and load factor.
157

AP disconnects and the FD bars dissapears.
159
What appears on the PFD when we loose normal law?
The green = is replaced with amber X crosses.
160

No, everything is lost. Inputs are direct sent to the control surfaces, skips the computers.
162
From which tank do we first use the fuel airborne after slats extension and why?
When does the center tank pumps stop during ground operation? How long does it work after engine start regardless of the slats? Which pumps has priority?
We use from the center tank first because the center tank pumps has priority over the wing tank pumps.
When the slats are extended. Run for 2 min. Center tank pumps have priority over the wing pump = they run = fuel to the engines from the center tanks for 2min. After 2min they close again because the slats are extended. While airborne and slats extended = they takes over again.

164
In order to start the pushback, we must check that the nose wheel steering selector is in towing position = disconnected. What MEMO needs to be displayed on the ECAM memo?
When does the NW STRG DISC becomes amber and what does it indicate?
Green NW STRG DISC.
When one engine is started, indicate that taxi is not possible because we don´t have any nose wheel steering. This means that NW STRK DISC memo should be dissapeared from the E/WD before we start the taxi.
165
What do we check before we set the parking brake and why? 2
1. We check the side that aircraft is not moving.
2. We check the accumulator pressure if it is in the green area = the accumulator should be able to hold the brake pressure for 12h (if we loose the yellow hyd system). We check how much pressure is sent to the left and right brakes.
166
When does the amber L/G CTL come on the WHEEL page?
In transit position, never stop the lever in transit position.
167
IR in ATT position it means?
ADIRU´s provide only attitude and heading data (IR) and the heading must be inserted by the crew thorugh MCDU and must be reset every 10min.

Flare mode = Active at 50ft RA.
172
In normal law, the pitch and bank is limited to? "the green ="
30 degrees up and 15 degrees down and 67 degrees bank.
173

179
If engine fails after the SID turn what should we do?
Continue on SID, select TOGA, climb to MSA before level off and clean up.

In case of OEI, why should we delay the gear for landing?
Because Large amounts of power will be required to maintain level flight at high weights and/or high altitude airports.
181
TOF: below which speed will the ground spoilers not deploy and the auto brake not active?
Below 72kt.
182
In CONF 1+F, F-speed is not displayed on the PFD. Where is it displayed?
On the PERF TAKEOFF page. We should check there and then clean up.
183
If the decision has been taken to delay the acceleration (to secure the engine), what shouldn’t we do?
It corresponds to?
We should not exceed the engine out MAXIMUM acceleration altitude.
Very important because it Corresponds to maximum altitude that can be achieved with one engine out and the other engine operating at takeoff thrust for a maximum of 10min.
184
The minimum level or altitudes of the standard holding patterns in the chart are only valid for?
Only valid for all engines operating.
185

The only acceleration detected by the accelerometers is?
What does it do with the gyroscopes on ground?
It level the accelerometers with the horizon and determine the direction of true north.
Rotation of the earth.
Gyroscopes detects only earths gravity and based in that it can measure the true north. Then it uses the variation to give us the magnetic north/heading.
187
Emergency evacuation: What do you say 1000ft above aerodrome?
500ft AAL?
Cabin crew at stations, cabin crew at station
Brace brace
188
If we are going to land with one engine, what should we do with the rudder when we disconnect autopilot with 1 engine inoperative?
IMPORTANT: Even if you disconnect the AP, the aircraft is already trimmed so don’t puss the rudder! Just leave it. At 50ft over threshold PM will reset the rudder and then for landing you can use it to maintain directional control.
189
What does it mean with ”clearence limit” on LIDO chart?
We can not pass the point without CLEARENCE = we should enter the holding in the FMS and go in to the gold if we don’t get further CLEARENCE to proceed.
190
When the A/THR is active, the A/THR thrust target is sent to the? Continue with the whole process.
To the FADECs. They computes thrust commands in accordance with the aircraft environment and status. The commands are then sent to the engines.
191
When is the soft go around function active?
How do we perform a soft go-around?
Only with both engines operative.
We apply TOGA initially, and then we read FMA and set the thrust to MCT (MAN GA SOFT will appear on FMA). At thrust reduction altitude, we see LVR CLB on FMA and we set CLB.
192
For a nose low upset = speed, altitude and VSI?
Airspeed increasing, altitude decreasing and VSI indicates descend.
193
For a nose high upset = speed, altitude and VSI?
Airspeed decreasing, altitude increasing and VSI indicates a climb.
194
High upset: 6
1. Confirm stalled condition = “stall I have control.”
2. AP and A/THR OFF
3. Nose down below horizon, keep it there
4. Increase thrust to decrease the nose down pitch moment.
5. Roll to wings level
6. Recover to level flight.
195
Low upset, 5
1. Confirm stalled condition (nose high upset/nose low upset).
2. AP and A/THR OFF
3. Roll to wings level
4. Adjust A/THR = decrease/use speed brakes to not over speed.
5. Recover to level flight.
196
When do we get "LDG GEAR NOT UPLOCKED" on ECAM?
When passing 750ft RA, we can get an ECAM warning saying "L/G not selected down", it means?
When both LGCIU´s detects that it´s not downlocked. BOTH triangles are red on the WHEEL SD PAGE.
It just a warning to the crew that the gear is not set to DOWN while the aircraft is in landing configuration. Nothing with the LGCIU´s.
197
How can we confirm that the L/G is down if one LGCIU detects that it´s not? 2
The name of this failure is?
One green triangle is enough on the WHEEL SD PAGE and also the memo on the E/WD = LDG LDG GEAR DN".
A sensor failure.
198
What is critical angle of attack?
Corresponds to which value?
How to recover?
Where lift reaches maximum and begins to decrease = the AOA where the lift startes to decrease is critical AOA.
CLMAX.
AOA must be decreased below the CLMAX value.
199
What affects the stall speed? 3
Changing weight, manueveuring the aircraft (increase in load factor), configuration changes.
200
Stall is only what problem?
Only AOA problem, not a speed problem.
201
Stall recovery: 5
Stall I have control.
Nose pitch control = down to the bird
Bank = wings level.
Thrust increase when AOA of stall.
Flight path recover.
202
Stall recovery should be applied as soon as? 3
(aural warning, buffeting, lack of pitch and roll control.)
203
When we get IR fault, status tell is that IR may be available at ATT mode. How can we see if it is available in ATT mode or not?
We check overhead IR, if we have a fault light in it = it’s not available in ATT mode.
204
If you don’t have a FMA, should we arm the LOC and APPR?
What about the LS Button?
It doesn’t matter to be honest. You don’t have it so it Will not help you.
Probably we will fly manually so It’s important to set the LS button on and just follow the FD’s.
205
If we get Low fuel in one tank, ECAM will tell us to set the X-feed button to ON and pumps of one the lighter side. What should we do?
What can the consequence of it be?
We set the X-feed on and we don’t switch of the pumps, we disregard that part.
Because when we select the pumps off, it will only feed fuel from the side where the pumps are on. Imagine in case of go around, we have almost nothing on the feeding side and we have very low fuel there and the pumps are off on the other side = we will end up with no fuel fuel in the side we had the pumps on = it will end up with we have no fuel on that side = engines will shut down and we will crash.
206
If we are going to perform autoland and we get red master warning below approach ban. Should we perform a go-around?
No. Any red Master warning = we continue even if we don´t see anything.
