Q

What happens to ground spoilers if aircraft bounces on

landing?

A

Ground spoilers will remain extended if both throttles are kept
at idle

18
Q

What controls the pitch feel system?

A

Two Feel and Limitation Computers (FLCs)

19
Q

What is correct regarding the SLAT SYS 1 and 2 FAULT lights on
the overhead panel?

A

Both SLATS and SFPI SLATS light – Asymmetry; system is

locked and cannot be recovered

20
Q

When does the Autopilot control rudder position via the yaw

actuator?

A

Slats extended, Autopilot on in CMD

21
Q

The primary flight controls can be best described as which type of system

A

Mechanically controlled, Hydraulically operated

22
Q

What does an Amber JAM light on the Servo Control panel

indicate?

A

One or more flight control actuators (rudder, elevator, aileron,
or THS) is not responding correctly to control inputs

23
Q

What happens if all 3 Servo Control switches are selected OFF?

A

All three servo control valves will revert to the open (on)

position

24
Q

What is not one of the four ways the THS may be actuated?

A

Manual Pitch Trim switches on the Control Wheels

25
Q

Inflight, which spoiler/speedbrake panels deploy when

activated using the spoiler/speedbrake handle?

A

The inner five panels

26
Q

How do the Pitch Trim systems normally operate?

A

Pitch Trim 1 is operating and Pitch Trim 2 is in standby

27
Q

What is the purpose of the 3 guarded Servo Control Switches?

A

They allow depressurization of the hydraulic flight control

servos within that system

28
Q

Which of the following statements applies to the A300-600?

A

Under certain conditions, the maximum available rudder
deflection can be obtained with comparatively light pedal
forces and small pedal deflections

29
Q

Where is the aileron trim displacement displayed?

A

The ECAM display and control column scales

30
Q

When does the pitch feel system transition into the highspeed mode?

A

Above 125 knots, and the flaps are retracted to less than 20°

31
Q

What happens if both pitch feel systems fail?

A

Elevator pitch feel should default to the low-speed mode

32
Q

With the aircraft on the ground and both throttles at idle,
what else must occur in order for the ground spoilers to
extend automatically?

A

The speedbrake lever is armed

33
Q

What does the illuminated blue SPD BRK light on the SFPI

indicate?

A

The speedbrakes are not retracted

34
Q

Hydraulic power for the flight controls is normally supplied by
what systems?

A

All 3 hydraulic systems

35
Q

When both amber SLATS FAULT lights and both amber FLAPS
FAULT lights on the overhead panel are illuminated, what has
likely occurred?

A

The SLATS/FLAPS lever is not in a detent position

36
Q

Which hydraulic system powers the ailerons?

A

Blue, Green and Yellow

37
Q

When both amber FLAPS FAULT lights on the overhead panel
illuminate and there are no lights on the SFPI, what has likely
occurred?

A

A jam has been detected, and the flaps may be recovered

38
Q

On the ground, which spoiler/speedbrake panels deploy when

activated automatically by arming the speedbrake handle?

A

All (7) spoiler/speedbrake panels

39
Q

What actuates the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS)?

A

Electric Trim switches on the control wheels

40
Q

The primary flight controls can be best described as which

type of system?

A

Mechanically controlled, hydraulically operated

41
Q

When are the FCCs initially powered?

A

When the first pitch trim lever is engaged or after the first
engine is started

42
Q

What happens if the Captain and First Officer’s rocking trim

levers are held in opposite directions?

A

Pitch trim is inhibited
