Type Tech Questions Flashcards
What happens when internal lights are at storm?
Both dome lights and instruments panel floodlights are set to high intensity.
When do the logo lights come on?
When landing gear compressed or flaps at 15 degrees or more.
Can the IDG be reconnected in the air?
No, ground reset only.
Following dual engine failure, how is fuel fed for subsequent relight?
L2 Pump is powered by RAT, and crossfeed opens automatically.
(L2 pump remins powered, if L2 pump fails, R2 pump replace L2. <260 kts or Land Recovery -> ON, main & stay pumps are lost.)
What does the 4th TR do?
Supplies power for APU starting and battery charging.
What is the general principle of airbus generator operation?
Independent operation, supplying their own loads.
Is there any TR configuration for over current detection?
No, if TR is lost due to overcurrent detection, reconfiguration does not occur and related DC BUS is lost. (Contractor of each TR automatically opens in case: overheat, minimum current, over current or open or short circuit.)
Is Autopilot available in ALT 2 Law?
Yes, if 2 IRS are working.
How many autopilots are required for LWMO?
Ony one unless its CAT 3B.
How is ILS information called up on the PFD?
LS pushbutton.
When does auto thrust disengages during autoland?
at 10’ RETARD auto call out AND thrust levers set to IDLE.
How is independent FMGS noticed?
Annunciation on both FMGS and scratchpad. (INDEPENDENT OPERATION is displayed on both MCDUs scratchpads. The IND annunciator light illuminates amber on the top of the MCDU.)
What happens if a spoiler fault occurs?
The symmetric one on the other wing is inhibited except for spoilers 4 & 6 (DSC-27-10-20 P7/14)
What happens if both servo jacks on a surface lose electrical power?
Switch to damping mode. (if the active fails, the damped one becomes active, the failed jack switch to damping mode. if neither of the four jacks is being controlled electrically, the four jacks are switched to centering mode.)
With AP engaged, does rudder TRIM feedback through pedals?
Yes.
What is the effect of one SFCC being u/s?
Flaps/Slats operate at half speed.
When does backup yaw damper unit operate?
in case of total electrical failure or loss of rudder control due to flight control computers failure, Backup Control Module (BCM) controls the yellow hydraulic servo control, or the blue hydraulic servo control.
What controls are available for manual backup flight?
THS, rudder and manual trim.
What happens to rudder travel following SEC 1&2 failure?
Travel limited due to failure unless slat extended then recover full travel.
What is the max taxi weight for A/C 2?
227,900kg
What is the MZFW for A/C 2?
178,000kg
What are the max APU EGT?
650C normal ops
1250C Start
What is the max crosswind for T/O
32kts (gust included)
What is the max ALT for flap operations
20,000’
