Autoflight Flashcards
Referencing this FMA, which Flight Director(s) is(are) selected on?
CA
Referencing this FMA, which Autopilot(s) are in use?
Both CA (1) and FO (2)
When either Autopilot is engaged, the Autothrust also automatically engages.
False
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.
True
FMGC 1 normally controls the autothrust system, regardless of which autopilot is engaged.
False
A/THR in white on the FMA indicates that:
the autothrust is active.
During flight, with the autothrust engaged, pulling the thrust levers out of the CLB detent and positioning them at the midway point will,
Limit the amount of thrust available, autothrust will remain engaged.
During flight, if the thrust levers are positioned to the idle detent, the autothrust is:
Disconnected
The difference between TOGA Lock and Thrust Lock is:
TOGA Lock provides maximum thrust and Thrust Lock maintains the current thrust being used.
The pilot pushed the speed, heading, and altitude knobs. Which type of guidance are the speed, vertical, and lateral modes now?
Managed
What color shows managed speed and managed altitude targets?
Magenta
Which color indicates an engaged mode of the FMA?
Green
What effect on the autothrust system does setting the thrust levers below the CL detent have?
The autothrust active range is now limited to the thrust lever position.
radio The autothrust system automatically disengages.
Which of these vertical modes will respect any altitude constraints in the FMGS?
CLB
What is the preferred method of disengaging the autothrust?
Match the TLA’s to current thrust and then press the instinctive disconnect pb on the thrust levers.
It is important that pilots fly with both flight directors ON or both flight directors OFF.
True
An autopilot may be engaged as soon as:
100’ feet on takeoff
During flight, with the autothrust engaged, pulling the thrust levers out of the CLB detent and positioning them at the midway point will,
Limit the amount of thrust available, autothrust will remain engaged.
During flight, if the thrust levers are positioned to the idle detent, the autothrust is:
Disconnected
The difference between TOGA Lock and Thrust Lock is:
TOGA Lock provides maximum thrust and Thrust Lock maintains the current thrust being used
The display shows an aircraft in both selected mach and selected heading. Selected guidance is achieved by:
The pilot pulling the speed and heading knobs.
The pilot pushed the speed, heading, and altitude knobs. Which type of guidance are the speed, vertical, and lateral modes now?
Managed
What color shows managed speed and managed altitude targets?
Magenta
What type of approach does the following PFD and ND correctly display?
ILS
What type of approach does the following PFD and ND correctly display?
Localizer
What type of approach does the following PFD and ND correctly display?
RNAV
Which color indicates an engaged mode of the FMA?
Green
According to this indication:
Autothrust is active in a fixed mode of thrust.
What effect on the autothrust system does setting the thrust levers below the CL detent have?
he autothrust active range is now limited to the thrust lever position.
According to this FMA:
The aircraft is in HDG with NAV armed.
Which of these vertical modes will respect any altitude constraints in the FMGS?
CLB
What is the preferred method of disengaging the autothrust?
Match the TLA’s to current thrust and then press the instinctive disconnect pb on the thrust levers.
It is important that pilots fly with both flight directors ON or both flight directors OFF.
True
NAV in blue on the FMA indicates that:
NAV is armed for your phase of flight.
An autopilot may be engaged as soon as:
100’ on takeoff
Column 1 on the FMA will display ___ if thrust levers are set to TOGA during a soft go around on the A321 NX.
MAN GA SOFT
