AA A320 ETHOS Questions Flashcards
Max service ceiling for the A320F
FL390
True or False The flight deck door is equipped with an escape panel that can be removed from either the flight deck or the cabin side of the door?
FALSE
The flight deck door locking mechanism can be opened by…
- -Enter a code in the keypad on the cabin side of the door
- -Using the handle on the flight deck side of the door
- -Using the toggle switch on the COCKPIT DOOR panel
Illumination of the red light in the observers port of the main cabin door indicate what?
The aircraft is on the ground and the engines are shut down, the slide is disarmed, and a cabin pressurization differential exists.
What lights are avail on the flight deck in emergency electrical configuration?
The standby compass light the CA’s instrument flood lights, and the dome light over the FO’s seat.
The smaller light on the aircraft right of the nose gear is which light?
Taxi
The STROBE switch is set to AUTO. In this position the strobe lights stop flashing when?
When the aircraft is on the ground
With the EMER EXIT LT switch set to ARM, which cabin light(s) is/are armed to illuminate automatically if AC Bus 1 is unpowered?
Overhead emergency lights.
With the EMER EXIT LT switch set to ARM, which cabin light(s) is/are armed to illuminate automatically if the DC ESS SHED Bus is unpowered?
- Exit signs
- Overhead emergency lights
- Escape path lights
True of False Engine and APU bleed air are the only air sources for the pneumatic system?
FALSE
Does HP air supplement IP air?
Never
Max altitude to use the APU bleed air
FL200
True or False The pack regulators provide commands to the zone regulator
FALSE
True or False The pack regulators monitor for pack malfunctions
TRUE
True or False The pack regulators adjust toe air flow to the packs through the pack flow control valves
TRUE
What do the two cabin fans do?
Recirculate air from the cabin to the mixing unit to reduce the demand for bleed air which saves fuel.
When in use, low pressure external air flows:
Directly into the mixing unit and then on to the three aircraft zones.
To regulate the temp in the three aircraft zones, the zone regulator:
- Commands the pack regulators to adjust the output of the packs
- Can increase both APU or engine idle speeds to meet the demands of the air conditioning system
- Receives input from the temp selectors on the overhead AIR COND panel
Which of the following does not provide input to the pressurization controllers?
- Thrust levers
- LGCIUs
- FADECs
- ADIRUs
FADEC
The input provided by the FMGCs enable the pressurization controllers to:
Know the planned cruise alt and plan the cabin climb accordingly.
The pressurization controllers use the elevation of your destination airport to plan the descent profile. In normal operations, this info is provided:
By the FMS database once you enter the destination airport into the MCDU.
The safety valves:
Open automatically when it becomes necessary to relieve excess positive or negative cabin pressure differentials.
On the cruise page, why is the cabin vertical speed indicator in an analog format?
The MODE SEL pb has been selected to MAN, and the pressurization system is being operated in the manual mode.
Automatic control of the avionics ventilation system is provided by:
A single Avionics Equipment Ventilation Computer (AEVC)
