A320 Lounge Protections 1

Question 1

In normal law, what is maximum nose down angle?

Answer 1

Minus 15

Question 2

In normal law, what is maximum nose up pitch angle?

Answer 2

Plus 30 nose up (reduced to 25 if low angle of attack protection regime entered).

Reduce both of these numbers by 5 if in CONF Full

Question 3

In normal law, what is the maximum bank angle limit?

Answer 3

67 degrees

Question 4

What is positive spiral static stability?

Answer 4

Auto trim will help us maintain level flight up to 33 degrees angle of bank. If sidestick released, bank angle will be fixed.

Beyond 33 degrees, if sidestick released, it will return to 33 degrees.

Over 33 degrees, THS fixed

Question 5

When do flight directors turn off in pitch?

Answer 5

When over 13 degrees nose down and approx 25 nose up

Question 6

When do flight directors turn off in bank? And when do they come back?

Answer 6

45 degrees, then return at 40

Question 7

What is VMO?

Answer 7

350kts

Question 8

What is MMO?

Answer 8

0.82

Question 9

What is the green equals sign on the speed tape?

Answer 9

The speed at which high speed protections take place

Question 10

What speed to high speed protections start?

Answer 10

VMO + 6
MMO + 0.01

Question 11

What do high speed protections do?

Answer 11

Pitch up to reduce speed

Question 12

What speed do you generate overspeed ECAM?

Answer 12

VMO + 4
MMO + 0.006

Question 13

What speed do you lose all sidestick authority?

Answer 13

VMO + 16

Question 14

What high speed does AP disconnect?

Answer 14

VMO + 15

Question 15

What affect does positive spiral static stability have in high speed regime?

Answer 15

Returns to wings level. Bank is limited to 40 degrees

Question 16

What is maximum angle of bank in high speed regime?

Answer 16

40 degrees

Question 17

What is VLS?

Answer 17

Lowest selectable speed.

With autothrust in, aircraft with not decelerate below VLS.

Question 18

What is VLS based on?

Answer 18

VS 1G

Stall speed at 1G. VLS is normally set on approach at 1.23 x VS1G (VREF)

Question 19

What speed can aircraft decelerate to with autothrust in?

Answer 19

VLS

Question 20

What speed can aircraft decelerate to without autothrust?

Answer 20

V alpha prot

Question 21

What speed will aircraft settle on with autothrust out and neutral sidestick?

Answer 21

V alpha prot

Question 22

What speed can you reach with full aft sidestick and autothrust off?

Answer 22

V alpha max

Question 23

What does sidestick command below v alpha max?

Answer 23

Angle of attack, rather than load factor

Question 24

What is alpha floor?

Answer 24

An autothrust mode (not a protection)

When speed reduces below a certain point, TOGA will be set automatically, regardless of thrust lever position

Question 25

When does autopilot disengage in slow speed?

Answer 25

1 degree more of AoA than V alpha prot

Question 26

How is V alpha prot represented on the speed tape?

Answer 26

Top of the orange and black

Question 27

How is V alpha max represented on the speed tape?

Answer 27

Solid red band

Question 28

How do you get out of TOGA lock?

Answer 28

Disengage autothrust
