Indicating/ Recording

Question 1

A valid cockpit voice recorder test will occur if what conditions are met when the CVR TEST PB is pressed?

Answer 1

Pressed and held: Activates the test if the CVR is energized and the parking brake is ON. A low frequency signal sounds through the two flight deck speakers.

Question 2

What does the dashed green energy arc indicate? (On the arc page of the ND)

Answer 2

The dashed green arc symbol indicates the required distance to land from present position

Question 3

The dashed green energy arc indicates the required distance to land from present position. When will it appear?

Answer 3

Only displayed in descent and approach phase when a selected lateral mode is engaged (HDG or TRK)

Question 4

What is the difference between the yellow Sideslip indicator, and the Blue Beta Target?

Answer 4

• Turns BLUE in case of engine failure during takeoff or go around
  
  • (Yellow) Indicates Sideslip (Lateral acceleration of the aircraft)
  • (Blue) When centered, indicates the optimum amount of sideslip for best single engine performance

Question 5

When will the BETA target index replace the turn and slip indicator?

Answer 5

In case of engine failure during takeoff or go-around, the sideslip index changes from yellow to blue, and its function changes to beta target

Question 6

In case of an engine failure, the BETA target index will replace the turn and slip indicator. Why is it ideal to center the BETA target index?

Answer 6

When the beta target index is centered, the amount of sideslip is optimized for best single-engine performance (which may result in a slight bank)

Question 7

When T.O INHIBIT or LDG INHIBIT are displayed on the lower right side of the E/WD, what does this mean?

Answer 7

Only those failures/fires that require immediate recognition or attention are presented. Others are suppressed.

Question 8

On approach, when is the Flight Warning computer LDG INHIBIT feature active?

Answer 8

During landing (800 ft or 80 kts) phases, the right side of E/WD displays a specific LDG INHIBIT (magenta) memo, which indicates that only failures that need immediate attention are displayed by the Flight Warning Computer

Question 9

During takeoff, when is the Flight Warning Computer T.O. INHIBIT feature active?

Answer 9

During takeoff (Takeoff Power to 1500’ or 2 minutes after liftoff)

• Extinguishes Master Warning lights
• Does not affect the ECAM message display

Question 13

What happens when you press the EMER CANC pushbutton for a CAUTION?
