Q

What does the appearance of a green arrow indicate at the bottom of the E/WD screen indicate?

A

Information has overflowed off the screen and the pilot must scroll down using the CLR pushbutton on the
ECAM panel

17
Q

What does the display of T.O. INHIBIT or LDG INHIBIT indicate?

A

Most warnings and cautions are inhibited to avoid unnecessary distractions during critical phases of flight

18
Q

When does the Takeoff Memo appear?

A

º 2 minutes after the second engine is started or when the T.O. CONFIG TEST pushbutton is pressed with one
engine running
º Takeoff Memo is removed when takeoff power is applied

19
Q

When does the Landing Memo appear?

A

º Below 2,000 feet RA
º Memo disappears after touchdown (80 knots)
º Displays at 800 feet if you never climbed above 2000 feet RA

20
Q

In general, when are the system pages automatically displayed on the SD?

A

º Relative to the current phase of flight, or
º When a system malfunction is detected

21
Q

When is a STATUS page displayed?

A

º After a failure is displayed on the SD and all failure items have been cleared
º STATUS will reappear when the slats are extended

22
Q

What computers feed data to the six display units?

A

3 Display Management Computers (DMC)

23
Q

What does each of the DMCs normally supply?

A

º DMC 1 – Captain PFD, ND, upper ECAM DU, lower DU
º DMC 2 – F/O PFD, ND
º DMC 3 – Backup

24
Q

How can you tell if a DMC has failed?

A

º “INVALID DATA” will be displayed in the respective EFIS/ECAM display units

25
Q

What happens when the upper ECAM display fails?

A

The E/WD automatically replaces the SD on the lower ECAM display

26
Q

If both the E/WD and SD display units fail, how can you display E/WD information?

A

Select the ECAM/ND switch to CAPT or F/O to transfer the E/WD to either ND

27
Q

With the E/WD displayed on the lower screen, how else can you view SD information?

A

Press and hold the appropriate system button on the ECAM Control Panel that you wish to view

28
Q

What does the ALL pushbutton do?

A

Displays ALL the system pages successively in 1-second intervals when held down
Release the pushbutton to maintain display of the selected page

29
Q

What does pressing the RCL pushbutton do?

A

º Allows you to recall any warning or caution messages that the activation of the CLR pushbutton or flight
phase inhibition may have suppressed
º If held longer than 3 seconds, the E/WD will show any caution messages suppressed by the EMER CANC pushbutton

30
Q

If you press the STS pushbutton and the system has no STATUS messages what will be displayed?

A

“NORMAL” for 5 seconds

31
Q

If power fails to the ECAM CONTROL panel which buttons are still functional?

A

º EMER CANC
º ALL
º CLR
º STS
º RCL

32
Q

What does the EMER CANC do?

A

º Cancels the current Level 1 or 2 warning for the remainder of the flight
º Cancels the current Level 3 warning for that occurrence

33
Q

What do you look for on the PRELIMINARY FLIGHT DECK PREPARATION quantity check?

A

º ENG – oil quantity above 9.5 quarts + 0.5 quarts per planned flight hours
º HYD – hydraulic quantity indexes in normal filling range
º DOOR – oxygen pressure - if half boxed in amber, check the MIN FLT CREW OXY CHART (PRC)

34
Q

What occurs when the T.O. CONFIG pushbutton is pressed?

A

º The system simulates the application of T.O. power and checks certain systems for proper configuration
º A warning is displayed if and system is not configured properly
º “TO CONFIG NORMAL” is displayed in the TO MEMO section if the configuration is correct
