AUTO Takeoff/Climb

Question 1

What FMA indications during T/O when thrust in
CL
FLX/MCT
TOGA

Answer 1

1. CL - col. 1 blank
   ENG THR LEVERS NOT
   SET Warning on ECAM
2. FLX/MCT - MAN FLX (assuming flex
   entered in TO PERF page
   With no FLX TEMP col. 1 is blank and
   ENG FLEX TEMP NOT SET Warning
   on ECAM
3. TOGA - MAN TOGA

Question 2

What’s the status of A/THR System with thrust set to FLX/MCT or TOGA

Answer 2

Armed (blue A/THR)

Question 3

What are the actions to tume the localizer for takeoff

Answer 3

None as long as the runway is loaded in FMS Flight Plan page

Question 4

Indications in col. 3 after FLX/MCT or TOGA is selected during takeoff

Answer 4

1. If no loc signal - line 1 is blank

2. If loc signal - RWY in col. 3 and yaw bars appear on PFD for steering cues

Question 5

Altitude at which the NAV mode becomes active after Takeoff if the takeoff is made without a pre selected heading

Answer 5

30’

Question 6

What’s the initial lateral mode the aircraft flies after takeoff with a preselected heading and the action required for FD heading guidance at 400’

Answer 6

1. RWY TRK(track at time of engagement. 30’)

2. Pull the HDG/TRK knob

Question 7

What’s the expected speed during SRS vertical mode with good engines

Answer 7

V2 +10

Question 8

How are the thrust reduction (THR RED) acceleration (ACC) altitudes inserted into the TO PERF page

Answer 8

Although default values appear during preflight, the actual values are up linked via the TDU process and thus overwrites the values in the THR RED/ACC field

Question 9

When does the SRS vertical mode disengage and what very. Mode replaced it

Answer 9

1. Automatically at acceleration altitude and reverts to CLB (or OP CLB if in HDG mode)
2. ALT* or ALT CST* can engage if there is a low initial altitude set
3. If flight crew engages a different mode

3. RWY (boxed green), NAV (blue)
4. 1FD2 (white), A/THR(blue)

At 50’

1. MAN TOGA (boxed white)
2. SRS (green), CLB(blue)
3. NAV (boxed green)
4. 1FD2(white), A/THR(blue)

Thrust levers in climb detent

1. THR CLB(boxed green)
2. CLB(green), ALT(blue)
3. NAV(green)
4. 1FD2(white), A/THR(boxed white)

Question 11

Indications in col. 1,2,3,5 for NADP2, TOGA thrust, NAV armed during takeoff and initial climb

Single engine???

Answer 11

Thrust in TOGA

1. MAN TOGA (boxed white)
2. SRS(boxed green), CLB(blue)
3. RWY(boxed green), NAV(blue)
4. 1FD2(white), A/THR(blue)

At 50’ RA

1. MAN TOGA(boxed white)
2. SRS(green), CLB(blue)
3. NAV(green)
4. 1FD2(white), A/THR(blue)

At thrust reduction altitude (1500’)

1. MAN TOGA(boxed white), LVR CLB(white)
2. SRS(green), CLB(blue)
3. NAV(green)
4. 1FD2(white), A/THR(blue)

After Thrust reduction(CLB detent)

1. THR CLB(boxed green)
2. SRS(green), CLB(blue)
3. NAV(green)
4. 1FD2(white), A/THR(boxed white)

After acceleration altitude (3000’)
  1. THR CLB(boxed green)
  2 CLB(boxed green), ALT(blue)
  3. NAV(green)
  5. 1FD2(white), A/THR(white)

Question 12

What is the normal speed after passing through acceleration altitude up to 10K

Answer 12

Whatever is programmed but normally 250 knots

Question 13

What pilot action can be taken to cause a pilot specified speed to become target speed after passing acceleration altitude

Answer 13

1. By entering a speed into the PERF CLB page prior to entering the climb phase
2. This has the same effect as the pilot selecting a speed on the FCU

Question 14

What is preferred method to increase rate of climb during an Open climb or Managed climb

Answer 14

Selecting a lower speed will increase rate of climb in either mode
