Q

What does spongy pedal feel during taxi indicate when in YUD?

A

Degraded performance of the alternate braking system

spongy pedals can change the feeling of braking

17
Q

During take-off, when is the connection between NWS and rudder pedals removed?

A

130kts

In strong crosswinds, more rudder application required at this point

18
Q

In strong crosswind, with small amount of into wind sidestick what position must the side stick be in for the lift off?

A

Neutral -wings must be level

19
Q

When is a tailstrike most likely to occur?

A

Crosswinds
Turbulence
Windshear

20
Q

On long runways, which flap setting provides the highest tailstrike margin?

A

Highest Flap Confing

21
Q

What should be done if a tailstrike occurs at take-off?

A

Return to originating airport for damage assessment.

Flight at altitude requiring a pressurised cabin must be avoided

22
Q

Which spoilers are Speed Brakes?

A

Spoilers 2, 3 and 4

23
Q

When is Speed Brake extension inhibited?

A
  • SEC 1 and 3 both faulty
  • An Elevator (L or R) is faulty
  • Flaps in Config FULL
  • Thrust Levers above MCT
  • Angle of Attack Protection is active
  • Alpha Floor active
24
Q

What happens if an inhibition occurs when the Speed Brake is extended?

A

They retract automatically
until the inhibition condition disappears, and
Flight crew resets the lever

25
When can the Speed Brakes be extended again after autoretraction due inhibition
10 sec or more after speed brake lever is reset
26
What does a white background on a title of an abnormal or emergency precedure mean?

27
What does a grey background on a title of an abnormal or emergency precedure mean?
Procedure is NOT displayed on ECAM
28

A starting point
29
What does a black DOT in a procedure indicate?
A pre-condition
30
