Autoflight Flashcards
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.
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’
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.
What color shows managed speed and managed altitude targets?
Magenta
Which color indicates an engaged mode of the FMA?
Green
Which of these vertical modes will respect any altitude constraints in the FMGS?
CLB
Autothrust is available if both FMGC’s have failed.
FALSE
When reaching ______ “LVR CLB” appears in column one of the FMA.
Trust Reduction Altitude
Active autothrust modes of thrust are THRUST (Fixed) Mode and SPEED/MACH (Variable) Mode.
True
THRUST (Fixed) modes of thrust with autothrust “Active” are:
THR CLB, THR IDLE, THR MCT and THR LVR
THRUST (Fixed) modes of thrust with autothrust manually selected are:
MAN TOGA, MAN FLX
Autothrust is normally disconnected by:
Pressing one of the two instinctive disconnect pushbuttons or placing the thrust levers to idle.
Autothrust will disconnect, if only one thrust lever is moved to idle.
False
If flight guidance is selected off but autothrust is still active, the autothrust is using :
SPEED/MACH mode of thrust
If THR LK is displayed in column one of the FMA, Autothrust:
is Disconnected (off)
TOGA Lock can be cancelled by placing the thrust levers to the TOGA stop then pressing an instinctive disconnect button.
True
Alpha Floor is available in Alternate Law?
False
