How many DMC are installed
3
DMC1 powers what?
Capt PFD, ND + upper and lower ECAM
How many FWC (Flight Warning Computer) are installed
2
What happens if the PFD fails
Automatic transfer to the ND display
When will the T/O and LDG memos appear
T/O: 2 min after second engine start
LDG: <2,000’ w/gear down
When is g-load shown
<0,7 > 1,4 (5 sec)
What indications with a level 1 caution
No master, no sound only an indication on the ECAM
How are primary and secondary failures shown on the ECAM
Primary are boxed
Secondary are shown with an asterisk on the right side
How are advisories shown
System will be shown, and the value outside of normal will pulse
What color does the side slip indicator change to during an engine failure
Blue/cyan
How far in the future does the speed trend arrow show
10 sec
How is Vr indicated on the speed tape
Cyan circle
How can you force on the backup speed scale (BUSS)
What sources are used for airspeed information in this case
Turn of all 3 ADRs
AOA is used to compute safe speeds (plus slat/flap info)
How far away from the selected altitude must you deviate before warned
What are the warning indications
200 feet
Alt window flashes amber, and continuous audio warning
When approaching selected altitude, when will the altitude pulse yellow (plus sound if flying manually)
750’
- When will the numbers on the alt indicator turn amber during approach
- When will the numbers on the RA turn amber during approach
- Below MDA
- <100’ above DH, or 400’ if no DH
When will vertical speed turn amber
- > 6,000 fpm
- > 2,000 fpm when 1,000-2,500’ RA
- > 1,200 fpm when <1,000 RA
What does an amber box around the VS indicate
Using only barometric info (no inertial )
When will heading be referenced to true north
Above 73degrees north
What is the green diamond on the heading tape / ND
Your track
How long are new modes boxed on the FMA
10 sec
When are discrepancy warnings shown on the PFD
- For pitch and roll
- For heading
- For altitude
- 5 degrees
- 5 degrees
- 250’ on QNH, 500’ on STD
Which displays does ILS #1 feed
PFD1 + ND2
What does the FWC use to create
1. Red warnings
2. Amber cautions
- Directly from aircraft sensors/systems
- Signaled from the SDACs (Synthetic Data Acquisition Concentrators)
What can you do if the “invalid data” message appears on your DUs
Switch to FO/CAPT 3 so that DMC3 will power your DUs
Which audio warnings cannot be cancelled
Over speed and LDG gear not down
What color will T.O INHIBIT be shown in
Magenta
When does the tail strike pitch limit appear on the PFD
Below 400’ RH
How long does the DFDR record
25h
How’s Vapp calculated
Vls + 1/3 of airport hw component (min 5, max 15)
When is Vls speed inhibited
From touchdown to 10s after liftoff
