AAR Set 1 Flashcards
Which pumps are operated by the blue hyd system?
Pumps 1 and 4
These are next to each other
Which pumps are operated by the green hydraulic system?
Pumps 2, 3 and 6
Plus pump 7 on a 3 point tanker
Which pump is operated by the yellow hydraulic system?
Pump 5
Which engine does the BLUE had system work off?
Engine 1
Which engine does the yellow hyd system work off?
Engine 2
Which engine does the green system work off?
Both engines.
This system works the most amount of pumps
Arcs 1 and 2 control which pumps?
Arc 1 - pumps 1,3,5
Arc 2 - pumps 2,4,6
Pumps 3 and 6 stop operating when fuel in the inner tanks reach…
10 tons (each) Note, MCOM states 9t
Pumps 1 and 2 (centre tank) stop when the tank reaches…
3800kg
3.8t
Pump 4 and 5 stop when the tank reaches…
4000kg
4t
What is the max fuel flow from the pods?
1,250 kg/min
What is the max fuel flow from the FRU?
1800 kg/min
According to the MCOM, what is the approximate length of the hose that can be deployed? (both pods and FRU)
93.5 ft
What conditions must be met for hose priming to take place?
Hose trailed Dispense mode in auto or manual At least one AAR pump armed Receiver selected Pod/FRU isolation valve in auto Aircraft in A/Tkr mode
How far must the receiver push in for the arc to open the isolation valve and transfer fuel?
5 ft
How far in must the receiver push before fuel flow stops?
25 ft
What is the rewind speed of the hose?
4ft/second
How long does the breakaway light flash for?
10 seconds
Temperature shown on the MFCD
TAT and SAT stand for…
Total air temperature
Static air temperature
What length is the FRU considered “short hose”?
Less than 88 ft
What is AAR silent?
vs silent procedures
Once receivers are moved astern, MSO calls continue on the lights.
Once they have disconnected, that’s the end of the AAR silent phase.
(Different from silent procedures which is zero R/T throughout)
Where is the receiver clearance list found?
VOM B, 1.2.3
MSO QRH has 3 emergencies which are not prompted by the WCAS. What are they?
Smoke and fumes
Ditching/forced landing
All engines failure
After an electrical failure (eg lost a TR or Busbar) and all drills have been carried out, if it’s not clear whether AAR can be continued with the remaining systems, where is guidance for the MSO?
QRH, at the very end of emergency procedures section after the computer resets table. Note this is the last place to look as abort AAR / system inop may have been covered in the main QRH drill.
If all the CCPs (communications control panel - radio boxes) fail, it goes (or has to be selected) to reversionary mode. Who gets which radio?
MSO box 1 (for boom)
Capt V/UHF 2
Co HF2
Spare seat HF1
MCPD stands for…
Mission control Primary Display.
Big screen!!
What rate does the trim tank transfer fuel forward?
Approx 150kg/min.
What is the max tailwind for voyager takeoff?
10kts
After a double ARC failure, (ARCs successfully reset) the MSO may still have PODS/FRU showing as inop. Why is this?
They may need to be reset (as part of QORN) to re establish coms with the ARCs.
Just turn off then on again to reset.
What would you lose in the event of an Elec M1 Busbar failure?
LPOD FRU ARC 1 MIDS/MPS Left side IR illuminators AES fan 1 Secure Radios And more!
When in Man Tkr mode, what rules are in place re pump selection?
Do not arm pumps 1 and 4 together (both blue system)
What happens when there is a 2t fuel imbalance between the inner fuel tanks?
ARCs try to balance by running 2 pumps in the higher tank.
Fuel page starts to flash - TBC
What happens when there is a 3t fuel imbalance between the inner tanks?
The ARCs stop working
Triggers an ECAM - Fuel Lat Imbalance
Need To go into Man Tkr to continue.
If you’ve lost an AAR pump in an inner tank and you go 2t out of balance, what would you expect to happen?
Get an Auto Tkr Fault.
The ARCs are trying to rebalance by selecting 2 pumps but if the one it’s trying to activate is U/S it’ll declare a fault.
Need to go to Man Tkr to continue.
What is an ACO?
And an ATO?
ACO is the Air Coordination Order (who’s going to be where)
ATO is the Air Tasking Order. (What you’re going to be doing)
When in Man Tkr mode, what are the restrictions on which pumps you can use?
Don’t use both pumps on blue system (1 and 4)
Only use 1 on the green system.
So if you use the lower pumps on the inners, you’ll be fine. (That’ll use pumps 4 and 5)
