A350 Questions edited Flashcards
What are WX settings for TO?
The AUTO mode is the default mode of the weather radar. The AUTO mode is adapted and optimized for all
flight phases. The flight crew can temporarily use the manual modes if needed, depending on the operational
context.
Cockpit adjustable seats?
The CAPT and F/O seats are electrically powered in order move horizontally and vertically.
Manual controls enable crew to adjust the recline, the vertical and the horizontal position and the lumbar &
override the electrical controls, if necessary.
The third occupant’s seat is similar to CAPT and F/O seats but can only be adjusted mechanically.
The fourth occupant’s seat is a folding seat, and cannot be adjusted.
What controls the pack?
The Air System Control Unit (ASCU) controls the pack. There is one ASCU per pack. The ASCU is a dual-lane
controller.
What controls the pack?
The Air System Control Unit (ASCU) controls the pack.
What happens in case of pack overheat in
flight?
When the pack overheats the fault light in the PACK pb sw comes on. (Associated with the following ECAM
alert: AIR PACK 1(2) OVHT).
On the ground the active pack valve of a pack will automatically close, if the associated pack overheats.
When do pack valves close?
The active pack valve of a pack will automatically close, if:
There is not sufficient upstream pressure, or
The FIRE pb-sw of the associated engine is pressed, or
The associated PACK pb is set to OFF, or
The associated pack overheats, and the aircraft is on ground, or
There is a leak detection, or
The onside engine starts.
How many pack valves are there on each pack?
For each pack, there are two pack valves. Only one is active, the other is in standby.
Bulk Cargo Ventilation?
The bulk cargo compartment has a heating system.
Some air from the cabin recirculates into the bulk cargo compartment for ventilation and temperature control.
An electrical heater heats the air that flows into the bulk cargo compartment.
Two isolation valves (manually controlled using the BULK ISOL VALVES pb-sw on the CARGO AIR COND pane)
permit the isolation of the bulk cargo compartment.
Cargo Extraction Valve SD PAGE EXAMPLE?
There’s a CARGO EXTRACTION FAN INDICATION and CARGO ISOLATION VALVE INDICATION showing extraction
valve closed
If an OCU fails, what happens?
If one OCU (Outflow valve Control Unit) fails the other one takes over the control of the two outflow valves.
If an OCU fails, what happens?
If one OCU fails the other one takes over the control of the two outflow valves.
Outflow valves close in AUTO?
The two outflow valves close when the cabin altitude exceeds 14 000 ft in automatic mode (15 000 ft in manual
mode).
When do the outflow valves close in MANUAL
mode?
The two outflow valves close when the cabin altitude exceeds 15 000 ft in manual mode.

it is manual cab alt, man cab v/s, man sys status
Fire extinguishers in Cargo Hold?
There are 3 (2 on the-900) fire extinguisher bottles that can discharge extinguisher agent in the forward OR
aft/bulk cargo compartment.
Where is a toilet smoke indication shown?
If the SDF detects smoke in any lavatory, the SMOKE LAVATORY SMOKE ECAM alert is triggered, and the Flight
Attendant Panel (FAP) displays an associated cabin smoke alert.
If the spoilers auto stow during during alpha
protection or go-around, when will they be
available again?
Once retracted, the speedbrakes remain retracted, even if the conditions have disappeared. To extend the
speed brakes again, the SPEED BRAKE lever must first be set to the retracted position for at least 5 s .
When do spoilers extend in RTO?
RTO ground spoilers fully extend when the thrust levers are at idle and the speed is greater than 72 kt.
If the ground spoilers are not armed, they will automatically extend when the reversers are selected and the
speed is greater than 72 kt.
Picture of sidestick priority light.
The Captain presses their sidestick pb. The PRIORITY LEFT callout is triggered. (The CAPT light comes on, only if
the First Officer moves their sidestick.)
When does PITCH TRIM appear?
The pitch trim display is displayed on ground, before takeoff and after landing.
After takeoff, it disappears when the aircraft is 50 ft above the runway.
After landing, it is displayed when the aircraft speed is below 30 kt
For touch and go, it will be displayed as soon as one of the following occurs:
The engine levers are moved out of idle
Spoilers are disarmed
Flaps are retracted one step
The flight crew presses the PITCH TRIM sw.
Rudder trim. What happens with the AP
engaged to the reset PB?
The RUDDER TRIM selector and RESET pb are not active with the autopilot engaged.
On the F/CTL More SD Page, on the rudder
actuators, what does an amber Y mean?
The power supply of the associated actuator is failed. The Y hydraulic power supply is failed. (OR SWITCHED
OFF)
When does the rudder trim position appear on
the Slats/Flaps Display:
The rudder trim position appears:
-When the flight crew moves the rudder trim pos via the RUDDER TRIM selector,
-When the flight crew presses the RESET pb (displayed 10 s after the 0° trim reached)
-In the case of failure of one engine (The indication remains displayed for the remainder of the flight)
-In flight, or on ground with a speed above 65 kt and when the rudder trim position exceeds ±1°(The indication
remains displayed 10 s after the position goes below ±1°)
-On ground with a speed below 65 kt, and when the rudder trim position exceeds ±0.4°.
PFD in direct
USE MAN PITCH TRIM - The flight controls are in direct law.
In normal law, when at 40 deg bank, what
happens when stick released?
When the bank angle is above 33 °,
The bank angle returns to 33° if the sidestick is at neutral (positive spiral stability is restored)
When the backup control is active, the flight
crew controls the aircraft via?
When the backup control is active, the flight crew controls the aircraft via:
-The sidesticks
-The rudder pedals
-The pitch trim switch
What does Slat/Alpha Lock do?
The slat alpha/speed lock function inhibits slats retraction to zero at a high Angle-Of-Attack (AOA), and/or at a
very low speed.
If the slat alpha/speed lock function is active:
A pulsing A. LOCK message appears in the Flap/Slat display of the PFD
The PFD indicates the VLS that corresponds to the actual slats/flaps position.
Fuel Collector Cells
Each wing tank contains a collector cell that has a fuel capacity of approximately 1 800 kg (3 970 lb).
The collector cell, that is at the lowest point of the wing tank, is permanently filled by gravity to keep the fuel
pumps inlets immersed. This design provides low or negative “g” protection to feed the engine.
When does the APU fuel pump run?
The APU can be fed by the APU feed pump, that operates automatically, if required (starts to run when the APU
is started, and stops when the APU is shutdown)
Fuel Feed on Take-off?
The main wing tank pumps run continuously.
After takeoff, the center tank pumps start running a few minutes after the flight crew moves the FLAPS lever to
0.
When will standby wing fuel pumps operate
automatically?
In normal operation, when the center tank is empty, the standby pumps run continuously.
How do you manual control the centre tank
pumps?
CTR TK FEED pb - Manual control of the center tank pumps is activated.
If ECAM asks for it, how do you transfer fuel
from Wing to Centre Tank?
By selecting L(R) TK XFR pb sw ON.
Fuel transfers by gravity from the wing tank to the center tank, via the refuel gallery.
Is fuel gravity fed through the wing to centre
tank or pumped?
However, the flight crew can initiate a manual gravity transfer, via the FUEL overhead panel, as requested by
ECAM procedures. 3 000 kg of the wing tank fuel cannot be transferred to the center tank.
Hydraulic systems run at what pressure?
The normal operating pressure of each hydraulic system is approximately 5 000 PSI.
HYD heat exchanger is cooled by?
Each hydraulic system has one hydraulic heat exchanger in each wing fuel tank.
What will make the Green ELEC Hyd pump
operate?
The GREEN electric pump operates automatically to reinflate the green braking accumulator, when the ACCU
REINFLATE pb is pressed.
(Picture of HYD SD showing green rectangle to
the RHS) What is it?
The fluid level is within normal range.
The normal filling range is displayed in green on the right hand side of the reservoir.
With engine bleed off is EAI still available?
Each engine has its own anti-ice system, with an independent hot bleed air source.
What parts of the engine are covered by engine
anti-ice?
Each engine has its own anti-ice system, with an independent hot bleed air source to anti-ice the engine air
inlet.
When is ANTI-ICE on engine?
When the flight crew sets the applicable ENG ANTI ICE pb to ON, the engine anti-ice valves of the selected
engine open.
If the EAI valve lose power, what happens
Each valve is electrically-controlled and pneumatically-actuated. The valve opens, if it loses its power supply.
When is Wing and Engine Antice automatic?
NEVER. When the flight crew sets the applicable ENG ANTI ICE pb to ON, the engine anti-ice valves of the
selected engine open.When the flight crew sets the WING ANTI ICE pb to ON, both wing anti-ice valves open.
