1650 lb in either inner tank, both open and stay open until next refueling cycle
28

34
APU bleed fault
Leak
35
Blower fault
``` SACO: Smoke Air pressure low* Computer power failure* Overheat* ``` *horn sounds if on the ground and engines off
36
Extract fault
SAC: Smoke Air pressure low* Computer power failure* *horn sounds if on the ground and engines off
37
Red guarded switch means?
Tied to battery bus
38
Red collared circuit breakers
Wingtip brakes & flight control computers
39
BMC failure
If one BMC fails, the adjacent BMC takes over the monitoring of the bleed system to issue the following ECAM warnings if necessary: – Overpressure. – Overtemperature. – Wing leak. Nevertheless, the associated bleed FAULT light on the AIR COND panel is lost, and the associated bleed valve does not close automatically. ENG BLEED LEAK warning is lost for the associated engine, as is also the APU BLEED LEAK warning if BMC1 has failed.
40
Ram air valve PB pressed
Outflow valve will open to 50% open, if psid less than 1.0
41
If less than 115 pax?
Pack flow control switch to low
42
Ditching PB selected
``` 6 things: 2 pack flow control valves Avionics in @ out valves (blower & extract) Ram air inlet Outflow valve (unless selected manually) ```
43
When does active cabin pressure controller channel automatically switch channels
70 secs after landing If operating system fails May occur if deselect MODE SEL pb for 10 seconds and re press
44
Hot air fault
Overheat detected, and: Hot air valve closes Trim air valve closes
45
If 30c or greater, retract slats?
No, keep flaps selector to 1
46
Emer exit lts switch to auto, when do emer lts illuminate?
``` Loss of AC1 bus illuminates only: -Overhead Lights Loss of DC ESS SHED bus illuminates: -Overhead Lights -Exit Signs -Path Lighting ```
47
When do emer exit light batteries charge?
On ground: emer exit lts switch to OFF | In flight: no smoking to AUTO and gear UP
48
When is speedbrake extension inhibited?
``` SEAFAT: SEC 1&3 faulted Elevator L or R fault Alpha prot active Flaps full Alpha floor active Thrust lever > MCT ```
49
Speedbrakes limited to 1/2 deflection?
A320 with autopilot on
50
When are wingtip brakes activated?
``` ROAM: Runaway Overspeed Assymetry Movement uncommanded ```
51
Slat retraction from 1 to 0 inhibited when?
If AOA greater than 8.5° or airspeed falls below 148 kt retraction from 1 to 0 is inhibited. Inhibition removed when AOA below 7.6° or speed exceeds 154 kt
52
ELAC functions
PAR AAA: Pitch Abnormal attitudes Roll Aileron droop Autopilot acquisition Activates the protections
53
SEC functions
PAR SS: Pitch Abnormal attitudes Roll Speedbrakes Spoilers
54
FAC functions
BSWFT RATTY: Beta target (flaps 1,2,3 & one N1 ≥ 80% & 35% N1 split) "Speed, speed, speed" (flaps 2+, below 2000' to 100') Windshear (reactive, 3-5 sec after liftoff, 50'-1300' & 1300'-50') Flight envelope protections (left side PFD/commands α-floor shown on FMA & E/WD) Tail: ``` Rudder limiting Alternate law yaw Turn coordination Trim Yaw damping ```
55
What is beta target? What does it indicate?
If one engine fails, FAC modifies sideslip indication to blue. Conditions: flaps 1,2,3 & one N1 ≥ 80% & > 35% N1 split Indicates optimum aircraft performance.
56
α-floor: - When available? - Indications? - How to cancel?
Protection that commands TOGA thrust. - Available from liftoff to 100' RA on approach. - "A FLOOR" green, amber flashing box on FMA, amber on E/WD. - "TOGA LK" green, amber flashing box on FMA when leaving α-floor conditions. TOGA thrust frozen. - "Match & mash". Move TLs to TOGA, a/thr pb's. Then, CLB detent or as appropriate.
57
Multiple failures of systems, explain degradation of flight control laws
``` Broken airplane --> Alternate law (check Vol 2 for type) --> Gear down w/ AP on = Alt Law Gear down w/ AP off = Direct law for landing flare ```
58
"Jet upset", explain degradation of flight control laws
Abnormal Upset --> Abnormal Attitude Law ? ? ?
59
Explain low speed stability
- Replaces normal α protection - Available for all configurations from 5 kt to Stall Warn +10kt - Progressive nose down signal introduced - Bank angle compensation to maintain constant α - α-floor inoperative
