Auto flight Flashcards
1
Q
- Referencing this FMA, which Flight Director(s) is(are) selected on?
A
CA
2
Q
- Referencing this FMA, which Autopilot(s) are in use?
A
Both CA and FO
3
Q
- When either Autopilot is engaged, the Autothrust also automatically engages.
A
False
4
Q
- You are hand flying with the Autopilot OFF. If you are not going to follow the Flight Director guidance, you should turn the Flight Directors OFF.
A
True
5
Q
- FMGC 1 normally controls the autothrust system, regardless of which autopilot is engaged.
A
false
6
Q
- A/THR in white on the FMA indicates that:
A
the autothrust is active.
7
Q
- During flight, with the autothrust engaged, pulling the thrust levers out of the CLB detent and positioning them at the midway point will:
A
Limit the amount of thrust available, autothrust will remain engaged.
8
Q
- During flight, if the thrust levers are positioned to the idle detent, the autothrust is:
A
Disconnected.
9
Q
- The difference between TOGA Lock and Thrust Lock is:
A
TOGA Lock provides maximum thrust and Thrust Lock maintains the current thrust being used.
10
Q
- The pilot pushed the speed, heading, and altitude knobs. Which type of guidance are the speed, vertical, and lateral modes now?
A
Managed
11
Q
- What color shows managed speed and managed altitude targets?
A
Magenta
12
Q
- Which color indicates an engaged mode of the FMA?
A
Green
13
Q
- What effect on the autothrust system does setting the thrust levers below the CL detent have?
A
The Autothrust active range is now limited to the Thrust lever position
14
Q
- Which of these vertical modes will respect any altitude constraints in the FMGS?
A
CLB
15
Q
- What is the preferred method of disengaging the autothrust?
A
Match the TLA’s to current thrust and then press the instinctive disconnect pb on the thrust levers.
