Automatically at Acceleration altitude or when another vertical is engaged
22
Q

Runway mode is engaged. This mode provides steering guidance during the takeoff roll and initial climb if a localized is available.
23
Q
Based on the FMA, what is the status of the Autothrust
MAN. |. SRS. |. RWY. |. |.
TOGA. |. CLB. |. NAV. |. |. 1FD2
|. |. |. | A/THR
A
Armed. (Blue A/THR in right hand column)
24
Q
During a normal takeoff, when will the A/THR become engaged?
A
A/THR becomes active after the thrust lever is moved to the climb detent
25
Based on the FMA, when will the NAV mode engage?
MAN. | SRS | RWY. | |
TOGA. |. CLB. |. NAV. |. |. 1FD2
|. |. |. |. A/THR
Automatically after 30 ft RA after takeoff
26
What phase of flight is the airplane in?
How is ALT CRZ different from ALT?
MACH. |. ALT CRZ. |. NAV. |. |. AP1
|. |. |. | 1FD2
|. |. |. | a/THR
ALT HOLD (cruise) mode is engaged and pit h guidance is given to hold cruise altitude.
The altitude is permitted to vary +\- 50 ft to minimize thrust variations
27
Based on the FMA (THR IDLE, DES, NAV). What FMA changes will take place If HDG is pulled?
NAV will change to HDG, DES will change to V/S
28
What is the difference between the vertical modes DES and OP DES?
DES - managed descent is engaged and the FMGS target altitude is lower than the actual altitude, constraints are taken into account.
OP DES - open descent is engaged Nd the FCU selected altitude is lower than the actual altitude. This mode is used to descend directly to the new altitude at a constraint speed, altitude constraints are ignored.
29
Is the managed DES mode available if speed is selected?
Yes
30
During an ILS approach, you see LAND on the FMA....
- at what altitude do you expect this?
- what does it mean?
- below 400 ft RA
| - Land indicates that the LOC and GS are locked. No action on the FCU will disengage the LAND mode.
31
During an auto land, with the FMA "flare" indication shown below, what should the autopilot and auto thrust be doing?
AUTOPILOT aligns the yaw axis with runway centerline and flares in pitch. Autothrust reduces thrust to idle.
32
What are the three methods available to disconnect the Autothrust?
Which of these will cause a "thrust lock" condition?
1. Instinctive disconnect pushbuttons
2. Move the thrust levers to idle
3. Push the A/THR pb on FCU
Option 3 will cause thrust lock
33
What action is required to restore conventional manual thrust from a thrust lock condition?
Move the thrust levers
34
If the A/THR instinctive disconnect push button is pressed while the thrust levers are in the climb detent what will happen to the thrust?
Thrust will immediately go to climb thrust
35
- what will trigger ALPHA FLOOR protection to engage?
| - what does this mode do?
- A.Floor is triggered primarily by high AOA
| - A.floor means A/THR will command TOGA thrust regardless of THrust lever position
36
When the aircraft leaves Alpha Floor conditions what FMA change will occur?
A.Floor will change to TOGA LOCK
37
- what does TOGA LK mean?
| - How would you disengage TOGA LK?
Toga lock means TOGA thrust is still being commanded (A.floor condition no longer met)
To disengage TOGA LK the A/THR must be disconnected
38
