Instruments Flashcards
Putting the PFD brightness to off will
Transfer the PFD to the ND

DMC 1, 2 and 3 usually provide
CA screens, FO screens and ECAM screens
How would you know there’s a DMC failure
A crossbar in the displays affected
On the ECAM, the E/WD always has
Priority
When the upper ECAM has failed, you can see an SD page temporarly by pressing and holding the system page, how long does it stay before the E/WD comes back
3 minutes
ADIRS is 1 system that replaces the
ADC and IRS
ADIRS is comprised of 3 ADIRU, a CDU and
Many inputs and outputs
What are the 2 parts of the ADIRU
ADR and IR
The ADIRS supplies data to
FMGEC, FADEC, PRIM, SEC, FWC, SFCC, ATC, GPWS, CMC and CPC
The ADIRS can only align in those lattitude
60S to 82N (73N between 90-120W)
What are the 4 types of sensors on the side of the A/C
Pitot, Static, AOA and TAT
How many ADM are on the A/C
8
How many static ports are installed
6
On the ADIRS control panel, putting the switch to ATT is normally done when
The NAV mode a failed
Once the ATT mode is selected, the NAV mode can’t be used until
An alignement on the ground
If a Fault light is flashing in an IR pb, it means that
The attitude and heading can be recovered by putting the switch to ATT, you lose position data
You can perform a fast realignement by
Putting all switch to off and back to NAV in less than 5 seconds
The baro can display
hPa or Hg
When the FCU is initialized, the baro shows
1013 or 29.92
When you pull the baro knob, what happens
Switch to standard pressure
The ILS button shows
The LOC/GS scale on the PFD
If the ND mode or range data fails, the default ND is
Rose NAV and 80 NM scale
The normally gray background turns black if
The instrument cooling problem is detected
On ground, what is the white box and ‘‘cross’’ on the PFD
It is the max sidestick deflection symbol, and the cross shows the position of the sidestick
On ground, what is the green vertical line
It is the Ground Roll Guidance Command Bar
When bank exceed 45 degrees, all PFD symbols get removed except
Airspeed, Altitude, Attitude, Heading and V/S
When pitch exceeds +25 or -13, all PFD symbols get removed except
Airspeed, Altitude, Attitude, Heading and V/S
When the pitch exceed 30 degree
Big red arrows shows where to go
The sideslip index become blue instead of yellow in case of
Engine failure during TO or GA
You should always operate the FD
2 on or 2 off, not just 1, for A/THR operation
The speed trend is showing where it should be in
10 seconds
The green F is
The minimum speed for flap retraction at current GW
The speeds for the flap configuration are
VFE for Config Full is: 180 kts
VFE for Config 3 is: 186 kts
VFE for Config 2 is: 196 kts
VFE for Config 1 is: 240 kts
The V1, VR and V2 are
Blue 1, blue dot and magenta triangle
The SRS is usually aiming for V2+10, but is also limited to pitch of
18 degrees unless windshear warning (up to 22.5)
If the target speed display is off scale, it is
Displayed in digital format
The mach appears when
Above 0.5 and the LS button is not pushed
VLS is shown as
The top of the amber strip
The Green Dot speed is
The best lift to drag ratio (L/D MAX), also the engine out operating speed in clean config
The altitude alert system will display
Amber if the altitude deviates
The altitude turns amber when below
MDH or MDA
The FCU selected altitude shows in ____ or ____ when constrained by FMGC
Blue, magenta
The baro will pulse if
Not in the right mode when crossing transition altitude, or below 2500 feet RA when no transition level is available
When a DH is entered in the MCDU approach page
The RA indication becomes green when 100 feet above the DH and amber when below
If no DH, the RA is ____ above 400 feet and ____ below
Green, amber
The red ribbon Ground Reference is based on RA and is displayed only below
570 feet
When does the V/S indication show amber
Above 2500 feet - 6000 ft/min
Between 2500-1000 feet - 2000 ft/min
Below 1000 feet - 1200 ft/min
Above 100 feet RA, th GS scale flashes if
A deviation exceeds 1 dot for more than 2 sec
Above 15 feet RA, th LOC scale flashes if
A deviation exceeds 1/4 dot for more than 2 sec
If the ILS display is not selected when the APPR mode is armed
A flashing ILS message will flash amber
The altitude alert system sounds when deviating from
250 feet from preselected altitude
The altitude alert system sounds when at ____ from the preselected altitude unless
750 feet, unless AP is engaged
The chrono button on the glareshield starts
A timer on the ND
If insufficient cooling exist, what system won’t be displayed on the ND
The weather radar
The dashed yellow and green line on the ND are
A modification to the flight plan, and a flight plan that is not active
The missed approach shows as ____, a flight plan to an alternate shows as ____
Dashed blue line, a solid blue line
The secondary flight plan is
A solid white line
Normally, ILS1 shows on ____ and ILS2 shows on ____
PFD 1 and ND 2, and PFD 2 and ND 1
What is the only mode the ND would not show the weather radar
The Plan mode
The PWS is only available below
1500 feet AGL
What are the 3 priority level for the FWC when displaying on ECAM
Level 1 and 2 (yellow) and level 3 (red)
What has the highest priority for aural warning
The synthetic voice
What is an advisory
It’s when a systems parameters should be monitored (turn the page and flashes the info)
On the landing memos, the FLAPS … will show CONF 3 instead of FULL when
In alternate or direct law, or when the GPWS LDG FLAP 3 pb is selected
A G LOAD xxx will be displayed the load is
Less than 0.7 or greater than 1.4
The BUSS is based on
The AOA and the configuration of slats/flaps
BUSS is displayed when
All 3 ADR pb are switch off
The backup altitude is taken from
The GPS
