Q

During pushback, what are the implications of there being no N/W STEER DISC memo on the ECAM display if the ground crew have inserted the Tow Pin?

A

The engines must not be started as the hydraulics will pressurise and may cause damage caused to the nose gear.

Q

What is the difference between these two symbols?

A

Unboxed blue text means that the PARK BRK handle is set to ON and the pressure is rising in the brakes.

A

Amber indicates that an item is important and requires immediate attention.

17
Q

What does small font indicate on an FMS page?

A

Small font means that the data is FMS generated.

18
Q

What does big font indicate on an FMS page?

A

Large font indicates that the data is entered by flight crew

19
Q

What do dashes indicate on an FMS page?

A

Data cannot be computed or are being computed now.

20
Q

When is the pitch trim set to the take-off value?

A

Pitch trim for take-off is set automatically after the first engine start.

21
Q

What is the default value for the THR RED/ACC ALT?

A

The normal THR RED/ACCEL ALT are defaulted to 1 000 ft AAL, unless otherwise specified in the notes section of the Takeoff Performance Application or on the Brief.

If the EO ACCEL ALTITUDE calculated by the Takeoff Performance Application is higher than 1 000 ft AAL, the THR RED/ACCEL ALTITUDE should be set to this higher value

22
Q

When and where is the Transition Altitude checked in the FMS?

A

It’s checked while loading the performance data on the ACTIVE/PERF page.

It is found at the bottom left of the ACTIVE/PERF page.

23
Q

On the FMS Fuel & Load page, the Final figure should be entered from ………. because …………?

A

Cirrus.

It’s more accurate than the FMS calculations.

24
Q

ATC flight plans upload into which secondary SEC flight plan?

A

SEC 3 only.

25
Q

What is the max difference between the altitude indications on each PFD?

A

+/-20 ft

26
Q

What is the max difference between the altitude readout on the ISIS and the PFD?

A

30 ft

27
Q

When can the weather radar transmit?

A

When one engine is started and the WXR push button is selected on the EFIS control panel.

28
Q

In the USA, which components of a departure routing clearance are never sent as loadable elements of a CPDLC clearance?

A

Runway​ assignments, SIDs​ and/or transitions are never​ sent as​ loadable route elements.​ ​

29
Q

If the departure has an EO SID, how is this addressed in the departure brief?

A

If the departure includes an EOSID, use the EOSID procedure described in the RWY COMPUTATION panel of the T.O PERF application to perform the briefing.

30
Q

What should be considered when engine anti-ice is used on the ground?

A

Taxi speed should be controlled carefully especially on wet or icy surfaces as ground idle is increased.

31
Q

After landing, how and when is the weather radar turned off?

A

The weather radar automatically switches off 60 s after landing.

It must still be checked as off.

32
Q

What is the required cooling time before engine shutdown after high thrust operations.

A

5 mins

33
Q

For the engine shutdown time limit, when does the timing start?

A

If the flight crew uses idle reverse thrust for landing and normal thrust to maneuver during taxi after landing, the cooling period starts when the flight crew retards the thrust lever during the flare

If the flight crew uses maximum reverse for landing, the cooling period starts when the flight crew sets the thrust lever to idle reverse during the landing rollout.
