Question 1

The achievable FPA and VS in OP DES from 10000 and 250kts at MLW are -

Answer 1

SPD BRK RETR -2,6° 1400ft/m

SPD BRK EXT -5° -2500ft/m

Question 2

Normal Law means

Answer 2

Normal OPS, Failure of single comp does not affect any law. Has three modes.

Question 3

What are the three normal law modes

Answer 3

Ground mode, Flight mode, Flare mode

Question 4

Ground mode means

Answer 4

Active on ground - direct proportional relationship with sidestick deflection and deflection of the flight controls
(Active until shortly after TO, after TD GRD mode is reactivated and resets stabilizer to ZERO

Question 5

Flight mode means

Answer 5

Active between shortly after TO and shortly after LDG.
Remains 1g load in pitch, no pitch trim requirement for changes in speed, config, or bank up to 33°
Maintains max load factor for flap position
Turn coord and aw damping is computed by ELAC and send to FAC

Question 6

Flare Mode means

Answer 6

becomes active when LG is selected down and provided AP is disconnected
occurs at 50ft RA by memorizing pitch attitude and begins to progressively reduce pitch - forcing pilot to flare

Question 7

State the protections NORMAL LAW

Answer 7

becomes active when MLG no longer compressed and pitch greater 8°

Load factor limitation (even if full sidestick)

Attitude protection (pitch limit 30° up, 15° down, 67° bank)

High Angle of Attack protection (alpha)
If alpha prot is exceeded elevator ctrl switches to alpha protection in which aoa is proportional to sidestick deflection - no exceedance of alpha max

High Speed Protection
No VMO MMO exceedance by pitch up load factor demand - The pilot cannot override

Low Energy Warning
Avbl in CONF 2 3 or FULL between 100´and 2000´RA when TOGA not selected “Speed Speed Speed”

Question 8

Alternate law is active

Answer 8

in case of multiple failures of redundant systems

Question 9

GRD MODE ALT LAW

Answer 9

Same as NORMAL LAW

Question 10

FLT MODE ALT LAW means

Answer 10

Similar to NORMAL LAW with reduced protections
Pitch ALT LAW becomes DIRECT LAW when Gear Down
(to provide feel for flare and landing as there is no flare mode when pitch normal law is lost)
Auto pitch trim avbl
Turn coordination lost
Roll rate depends on airspeed

Question 11

State the protections ALT LAW

Answer 11

All protections lost except load factor maneuvering
AMBER XX 
AIRPLANE CAN BE STALLED IN ALT LAW
...
...

Question 12

Direct law is

Answer 12

the lowest level of computer flight ctrl and occurs with certain multiple failures - USE MAN PITCH TRIM

Question 13

Overspeed and stall aural warning are provided in

Answer 13

DIRECT LAW

Question 14

Mechanical backup is

Answer 14

a complete loss of electrical flight control signals - the AC can be temporaily controlled by mechanical mode
Pitch is achieved by horizontal stabilizer using manual trim wheel
Lateral control by rudder
Both ctrl need hyd power
A red MAN PITCH TRIM ONLY appears on PFD

Question 15

Side stick is deactivated if you push the prio p/b for …..sec

Answer 15

30

Question 16

The PWS operates automatically when AC is below ….

Answer 16

2300ft AGL whether WX is on or OFF

Question 17

An alert is issued if a Shear us detected within …. NM AT OR BELOW ……ft

Answer 17

5 / 1500

Question 18

3 Levels of WS warnings are

Answer 18

WARNING TO WS AHEAD/ LDG GA WS AHEAD (RED)
CAUTION “Monitor Radar Display” WS AHEAD (Amber)
ADVISORY ICON only

Question 19

Reaction time for GPWS warnings is

Answer 19

30sec

Question 20

Terrain awareness display Light Green, Green - Gear Down- Yellow, Red

Answer 20

-2000 -> -1000 /-500GearUp-250GearDown / +1000 -> +2000

Question 21

Avoidance rules WX not later than ….NM and avoid by at least ….NM

Answer 21

40 / 10

Question 22

Ground law becomes active when

Answer 22

MLG is compressed and pitch less 2.5°
