Pull speed knob to stop accelerating past VFE
186
On selection of flaps/slats on the approach, they fail, what do you do?
Pull speed knob Delay approach to complete ECAM QRH procedure Arrival brief
187
What height can the AP be used down to for flaps or slats fault?
500ft
188
When does the PTU kick in?
When pressure difference is greater than 500psi
189
Why if you have Lo pressure in yellow or green must you turn off the PTU?
It will overheat within 2 mins and you will lose the other system
190
What will a single hydraulic failure lead to regarding capability?
Cat 3 single
191
What do you lose in case of a dual hydraulic failure?
Loss of AP Flight control law degradation Abnormal landing config Extensive ECAM
192
Why must you stabalize at VAPP before dropping the landing gear with a G+Y Hydraulic failure?
The stabalizer is lost, and auto trim function is provided through the elevators. Gear down leads to the loss of the auto trim function but it memorises the mean position of the elevator and becomes the reference for center stick position. If missed this could cause problems for go-around
193
How many green triangles per wheel are required to show the gear is down and locked?
1
194
Is it sufficient to rely on the LDG GEAR DN memo?
Yes
195
Why is antiskid turned off for landing with abnormal LDG GEAR?
Because it has nothing to reference itself against and could lead to a brake released scenario
196
On engine shutdown, for how long does hydraulic pressure last?
30 seconds
197
You have a tyre burst, what do you do for performance for landing?
BRAKES-BRAKES RELEASED 1 (2,3,4) RELEASED
198
Why during an evac, do you need to check Diff Pressure?
If the system has failed during the flight just to check once more
199
How long must you press the take over PB to remove control from the other pilot?
40seconds
200
When is the over speed alert triggered?
VMO+4 MMO+0.006
201
What is the definition of a stall?
When the AoA increases beyond a point such that the lift begins to decrease
202
What may you feel during a stall?
Buffet and a pitch up effect
203
AoA stall depends on what?
Aircraft config - slats, flaps, speed brakes Mach and Altitude Wing Contamination
204
When must you apply the stall procedure?
Stall warnings - aural and visual Stall Buffet
