25
Low Energy Warning | “Speed Speed Speed”
Designed to function prior to alpha floor to alert pilot to add thrust and reduce AOA. Not dependent on flight laws. It’s independent from auto thrust status and active below 2000 feet, config 2 or greater or when alpha floor is not engaged. 
26
With a HOT AIR fault, what temp will you have?
Whatever you had last set
27
Cargo smoke: | What happens when you discharge the bottle?
It discharges into the corresponding compartment
28
ACCU pressure indicates?
Pressure in the yellow brake accumulator
29
2 Brake Pressures indicate? System?
Only when the yellow HYD system controls brake pressure. You should only see when you’re in alternate braking or parking brake. If you see pressure anytime else, it means that you are not on normal braking (GREEN HYD SYS) and have a problem.
30
Does OEW (operational empty weight) include pilots? Fa’s? Galley carts?
Pilots only
31
Difference between flap 3/full landing chart vs. demonstrated?
Demonstrated doesnt account for 50’ above threshold
32
TAT vs. SAT
TAT (total air temp) has compressibility errors SAT (static air temp) is temp of undisturbed air This is why we use SAT in flight
33
How do you enter HDG if you switch to ATT mode?
MCDU | Frequently have to reset it though (about every 10 min)
34
Where is the architecture chart?
Back of QRH
35
If you no longer have AC BUS 1 powered, how is it powered?
Battery/inverter
36
With GEN 1 LINE pushed, will the crosstie close to power AC BUS 1?
No
37
What buses do you have on emergency electrical configuration?
2 batteries= 2 buses and 2 screens (PFD1 and E/WD) With RAT: 4 buses = 4 screens (PFD1, ND1, ECAM and MCDU 1)
38
What does OFF mean on the crew supply pb?
Valve closes on crew O2
39
When do logo lights come on/off?
Main landing gear compressed aka weight on wheels
40
When would we normally use the DITCH pb?
Deicing
41
What do you do if you have a ECAM ADVISORY?
QRH and follow steps
42
Why do we switch the pack flow to low?
Save fuel
43
Can you get the IDG back after disconnecting it?
No- maintenance
44
How is IDG fuel circulated?
Some of the fuel from each engine goes through the HP fuel line to the IDG heat exchanger (where it absorbs the heat) to The fuel return valve and then back into the outer fuel tank
45
How do you smoke detectors work?
Senses smoke particals
46
