Question 12

FMGS Lateral & Vertical NAV certified for…

Answer 12

• After takeoff, en route, and terminal area ops
• Navigation within RNAV/RNP airspace
• Instrument approaches (except ILS, LOC, LOC B/C, LDA & final approaches)
• Missed approach procedures

Question 13

Use of NAV mode after takeoff…

Answer 13

Can use provided:

• GPS PRIMARY is available, or
• Flight crew checked the FMGS takeoff updating

Question 14

Use of NAV mode in terminal area…

Answer 14

Can use provided:

• GPS PRIMARY is available or
• the appropriate RNP is checked or entered on the MCDU and HIGH accuracy is displayed, or
• FMS navigation is crosschecked with NAV aid raw data

Question 15

Use of NAV mode for Approaches based on Radio Navaids…

Answer 15

Can be performed in NAV, APP NAV or FINAL APP provided:

• if GPS PRIMARY is available, the navaid may be u/s
• if GPS PRIMARY is not available, the navaid must be serviceable, tuned and monitored during the approach

Question 16

Use of NAV mode for RNAV Approach…

Answer 16

• RNAV(RNP) approach may be performed with GPS PRIMARY not available only if the navaid coverage supports the RNP value and HIGH accuracy is displayed on the MCDU with the specified RNP
• RNAV(GNSS) may be performed if GPS PRIMARY is available

Question 17

Non-Precision approaches OEI

Answer 17

A319 only:

• Not permitted to use the autopilot in FINAL APP, NAV V/S, or NAV/FPA
• FD use is permitted

Question 18

Max altitude with flaps/slats extended

Answer 18

20,000 ft

Question 19

Min fuel quantity for takeoff

Answer 19

3307 lbs

Question 20

Braking system…

Answer 20

Is not designed to hold the a/c stationary with high thrust on one engine.
Crews must ensure the aircraft remains stationary and be ready to immediately retard the T/L to IDLE.

Question 21

• OEI

Answer 23

• 5 mins

- 10 mins

Question 24

Oil temperature:

• Max continuous
• Max transient (15 min)
• Min starting
• Min before takeoff

Answer 24

• 140 oC
• 155 oC
• -40 oC
• -10 oC

Question 25

Answer 25

9.5 qt + estimated consumption

Avg consumption 0.5 qt/hr

Question 26

Engine starter limit

Answer 26

• auto start includes up to 3 start attempts per cycle
• 20 sec pause required between successive cycles
• 15 min cooling period required after 4 failed cycles

Answer 28

• in flight use prohibited
• backing the aircraft with reverse is prohibited
