EFATO Flashcards
What happens at 2/3 rudder deflection after an engine failure on the runway.
The ground law orders ailerons and spoiler 3 deflection in order to ease the lateral control of the aircraft.
What speed does SRS target if the engine failure occurs on the ground?
V2
What speed does SRS target if the engine failure occurs after lift off?
The speed at which the failure occured.
How does normal law assist shortly after take-off with a failed engine?
The lateral normal law orders rudder surface deflection in order to minimize the sideslip (there is no feedback of this command to the pedals).
What does the appearance of the beta target indicate?
An engine is failed and the aircraft is not clean.
How does centring the beta target affect the aircraft?
Centring the beta target means that drag is minimized even with a small side slip.
What course of action should be taken if it’s not possible to centre the beta target with full rudder?
Accelerate.
Is rudder trim available with the autopilot engaged?
No
For a derated takeoff, what are the considerations of applying asymmetric TOGA thrust in an engine failure scenario?
For a derated takeoff, the flight crew cannot apply asymmetric TOGA thrust if the speed is below F, due to VMCA considerations.
What is the time limit of take-off (TOGA) thrust?
10 mins
In the event of an engine failure, what actions can be carried out below 400 ft?
Cancel the warning audio only.
What does it mean to ‘secure the engine’?
“Secure the engine” means that the flight crew should continue the ECAM procedure until:
- “ENG MASTER OFF” in the case of an engine failure without damage, or
- “AGENT 1 DISCH” in the case of engine failure with damage, or
- Fire extinguished or “AGENT 2 DISCH” in the case of an engine fire drill.
What action is taken at the EO acceleration altitude?
Press the ALT button to level off and accelerate.
Clean up on schedule.
How is the engine-out maximum acceleration altitude defined?
The engine out maximum acceleration altitude corresponds to the maximum altitude that can be achieved with one engine out and the other engine operating at takeoff thrust for a maximum of 10 min.
How is the climb initiated after the level acceleration and clean up segment?
When the speed trend reaches the green dot speed, pull the ALT knob to engage OP CLB.
Resume the climb phase with THR MCT. If the thrust lever is already in the FLX/MCT detent, move the thrust lever to CL and then back to MCT.
