170, Flt Warning Systems

Question 1

Select the correct alerting priority order.

1. Windshear warnings, 2. GPWS warnings, 3. TCAS warnings, 4. Stall warnings.
2. GPWS warnings, 2. TCAS warnings, 3. Windshear warnings, 4. Stall warnings.
3. Stall warnings, 2. Windshear warnings, 3. GPWS warnings, 4. TCAS warnings.
4. TCAS warnings, 2. Stall warnings, 3. GPWS warnings, 4. Windshear warnings.

Answer 1

1. Stall warnings, 2. Windshear warnings, 3. GPWS warnings, 4. TCAS warnings.

Question 2

You must make sure the loudspeakers are turned up loud enough so that you can hear the aural GPWS warnings.

True

False

Answer 2

False

Question 3

If the TERR ON ND pb is selected to OFF:

The terrain warnings and the basic modes are inhibited.

The terrain category warnings are inhibited but the basic modes are not affected.

Terrain alerting will still be available for predictive warning of High Terrain ahead of the aircraft.

Basic modes are inhibited.

Answer 3

Terrain alerting will still be available for predictive warning of High Terrain ahead of the aircraft.

Question 4

As the aircraft approaches within 750ft of the selected FCU altitude with the A/P off:

The aural alert sounds and the PFD`s altitude window pulses yellow.

The CRC alerts sounds and the PFD`s altitude window pulses yellow.

The aural alert sounds and the PFD`s altitude window pulses yellow along with a yellow “altitude” in the E/WD.

The aural alert sounds and the PFD`s altitude window pulses magenta.

Answer 4

The aural alert sounds and the PFD`s altitude window pulses yellow.

Question 5

Reactive windshear warnings function during takeoff and landings:

below 2300ft AGL.

below 100 kts.

below 2300ft AGL and at configuration Flaps 1 or greater.

below 1300ft AGL and at configuration Flaps 1 or greater.

Answer 5

below 1300ft AGL and at configuration Flaps 1 or greater.

Question 6

The Terrain Clearance Floor is:

1. Predictive. The TCF warning is triggered as you approach the TCF.
2. Not predictive. The aircraft must actually penetrate the TCF to trigger a warning.
3. Not predictive. The aircraft must have penetrated the TCF for at least one minute to trigger the TCF warning.
4. Predictive. The TCF warning is triggered when your vertical speed indicates you will penetrate the TCF.

Answer 6

2. Not predictive. The aircraft must actually penetrate the TCF to trigger a warning.

Question 7

Pressing the T.O. Config. key on the ECAM control panel:

Inhibits the Master Warning and Caution Lights on T.O.

Simulates the application of Takeoff Thrust.

De-activates the inhibit warning

Checks ALL config. items.

Answer 7

Simulates the application of Takeoff Thrust.

Question 8

Which item causes a takeoff configuration warning when the thrust levers are placed to a takeoff thrust setting while on the ground but does not cause a warning when the T.O. CONFIG key is pressed after engine start?

An external door is open.

Parking brake set to ON.

Pitch trim is not set within takeoff limits.

Slats/flaps are not in takeoff configuration.

Answer 8

Parking brake set to ON.

Question 9

The T.O. CONFIG warning system is activated automatically when you bring the thrust levers to a takeoff thrust setting while on the ground.

True

False

Answer 9

True
