Abnormal attitude

A

50 degrees pitch up, -30 degrees pitch down

20
Q

What does alpha floor do? And what is it a function of?

A

It adds toga thrust and reduces angle of attack, it is a function of auto thrust. (Avail from Liftoff to 100RA.)

21

Yes. It displays above the clock when pulling 1.4 positive g’s or .7 negative g’s

22
Q

Is Alpha Floor available in Alternate Law? Direct Law?

A

No

23
Q

How do you get out of TOGA LK?

A

Flight Crew disconnect of A/THR

24
Q

Explain Normal-law flight mode

A

Load factor demand mode with auto trim and protection throughout the flight envelope.

25
Q

Explain alternate, direct and mechanical law mode

A

These are degradation laws from normal law with different failures.

26
Q

Flare Mode?

A

Approx 50 ft RA it engages. It is function of autopilot on.
