Q

When only the green system is available for moving the slats (blue system not available), what will be the impact on the slats?

A

They will be slow

19
Q

What is correct regarding the SLAT SYS 1 and 2 FAULT lights on the overhead panel as well as the SFPI?

A

Asymmetry; sys locked and cannot be recovered

20
Q

When both amber FLAPS FAULT lights on the overhead panel illuminate and there are no lights on the SFPI, what has likely occurred?

A

A jam has been detected, and the flaps may be recovered

21
Q

When both amber SLATS FAULT lights and both amber FLAPS FAULT lights on the overhead panel are illuminated, what has likely ocurred?

A

The SLATS/FLAPS lever is not in a detent position

22
Q

What controls the pitch feel system?

A

Two Feel and Limitation Computers (FLC’s)

23
Q

What does the illuminated blue SPD BRK light on the SFPI indicate?

A

The speedbrakes are not retracted

24
Q

With the aircraft on the ground and both throttles at idle, what else must occur in order for the ground spoilers to extend automatically?

A

The speedbrake lever is armed

25
Q

What happens if both pitch feel systems fail?

A

Elevator pitch feel should default to the low-speed mode

26
Q

On the ground, which spoiler/speedbrake panels deploy when activated automatically by arming the speedbrake handle?

A

All (7) spoiler/speedbrake panels

27
Q

When are the two elevators allowed to uncouple?

A

During T/O, between 30 and 195 kts

28
Q

Both YAW DAMPER levers are selected ON. Select the most correct statement concerning the YAW DAMPER systems

A

One system is active and one system is in standby

29
Q

The flap handle is selected to 0/0, and the amber KRUGER light on the SFPI is illuminated. What has occurred?

A

One or both Kruger flaps did not retract

30
Q

If aileron control run jams, what does the other aileron control run provide?

A

Degraded roll control

31
Q

What has occurred when the blue ALPHA LOCK light on the SFPI is flashing?

A

SLATS and Kruger Flaps retraction is being temporarily inhibited

32
Q

What is not an indication the speedbrake lever is extended?

A

Blue light in speedbrake handle illuminates when extended

33
Q

Where is the aileron trim displacement displayed?

A

The ECAM display and control column scales

34
Q

When does the Autopilot control rudder position via the yaw actuator?

A

Slats extended, Autopilot on in CMD

35
Q

What actuates the Trimmable Horizontal Stablizer (THS)?

A

Electric Trim switches on the control wheels

36
Q

Which hydraulic system powers the ailerons?

A

Blue, Green and Yellow

37
Q

When does the pitch feel system transition into the high-speed mode?

A

Above 125 knots, and the flaps are retracted to less than 20°

38
Q

What are the speedbrake panels?

A

Speedbrakes are panels 1-5, Inner 5 on each wing

39
Q

On the ECAM MEMO page, what does the pulsing text “SPEEDBRAKES EXTENDED” indicate?

A

Q

What happens if the Captain and First Officer’s rocking trim levers are held in opposite directions?

A

Pitch trim is inhibited

41
Q

When is rudder trim inhibited?

A

Slats extended, Autopilot on
