LIMITATIONS

Question 1

Engine Anti/Ice on when…?

Answer 1

Engine Anti/Ice ON during all ground operations when icing conditions exist or are anticipated. i.e. 10 C and below & visible moisture.
ON during flight (except during climb or cruise when SAT is below -40 C) Engine Anti/Ice must be ON prior to and during descent in icing conditions including below -40 C

Question 2

Total Fuel Load (approx)

Answer 2

42,000 lbs total fuel
14.5 center
27.5 wings together
13.7 L/R
1560  ea. outer wing 
12,200 ea. inner wing

Question 3

Avionics ventilation

Answer 3

When OAT is above 120F (or 49C) do not power the avionics for more than 2 hours unless the ventilation system is operating normally

Question 4

Cabin Pressure Max +/- delta P

Answer 4

Cabin Pressure Max + delta P is 8.6 psi
Cabin Pressure MAx - delta P is -1.0 psi
these are approximate values at which the safety valves will open +/- 0.1 psi

Question 5

Contaminated Runway / reduced thrust Takeoff

Answer 5

Reduced thrust takeoff is NOT ALLOWED on a contaminated runway

Question 6

MAX speed for flight test of RAT

Answer 6

250 KIAS max speed for RAT test

Question 7

Vmo / Mmo

Answer 7

Vmo 350 KIAS

Mmo .82 Mach

Question 8

MAX runway slope

Answer 8

MAx runway slope +2%

Question 9

Load Factors

Answer 9

Clean: +2.5g to -1.0g
Slats Extended: +2.5g to -1.0g
Slats and Flaps Extended: 2g to 0g

Question 10

ENGINE OIL

• min qty
• min starting temp
• min T/O temp
• max continuous temp
• max transient temp :15 min
• min pressure

Answer 10

ENGINE OIL
min qty 9.5 qts + 0.5qt per hour intended operation
min starting temp -40 C
min T/O temp 10 C
max continuous temp 160 C
max transient temp :15 min 155 C
min pressure 13 psi

Question 11

MAX generator load

Answer 11

MAX generator load
90 kva
100% rated capacity

Question 12

MAX continuous TR load

Answer 12

Max continuous TR load

200 amps

Question 13

Min Battery volts

Answer 13

25.5v

Question 14

WINGSPAN

Answer 14

111’ 10”

Question 15

APU altitude limitations for Electrics, 1 pack, or 2 packs

Answer 15

APU altitude limitations:
Electric = max flight altitude
1 pack = 22,500 ( realistically FL220 )
2 packs = 15,000

Question 16

APU battery start MAX altitude

Answer 16

MAX altitude for APU battery start:

25,000 ft

Question 17

Hung start or Tailpipe fire: required actions

Answer 17

FADEC cannot identify nor correct a hung start or tailpipe fire. There will be no ECAM message either.
Manually abort the start by placing the engine master switch to OFF
(aircraft trajectory: advise “stop the push”, set brake…)
