Memory Items cockpit/flows Flashcards
- OXYGEN panel
What does the illumination of the SYS ON light mean?
The signal has been sent to release the oxygen mask doors
- OXYGEN panel
Does this mean that the masks have all deployed?
No - some masks may have to be deployed manually
- OXYGEN panel
What causes automatic deployment of the masks?
Cabin Altitude reaching approximately 14,000 feet
- OXYGEN panel
How does the passenger oxygen system work?
Chemical oxygen generators for approximately 15 minutes
- OXYGEN panel
What happens when a pilot pushes the CREW SUPPLY PB?
Valve opens to supply low pressure crew oxygen
- RCDR Panel
Why is the GND CTL PB selected to ON during preflight?
To record preflight activities in the cockpit
- RCDR Panel
If the PB was not selected ON, how would the system work in automatic mode?
ON for 5 minutes after electrical power is supplied to the aircraft
At least one engine is operating, stops 5 min after last engine shut down.
- RCDR Panel
What allows the cabin PA’s to be recorded?
ACP 3 PA Volume knob out and in 12 o’clock position
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
What is the significance of the red FAULT illuminating on the RAT & EMER GEN
light?
AC BUS1 and AC BUS 2 are lost and the RAT is not supplying electrical power
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
When would it normally illuminate?
During the 8-second RAT deployment
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
How can the RAT be deployed?
Manually by pushing MAN ON or RAT MAN ON, or Automatically by the loss of both AC
BUS 1 and AC BUS 2
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
What does the RAT supply?
Blue Hydraulic system and the emergency electrical generator
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
What buses are powered by the emergency electrical generator?
AC ESS and AC ESS Shed
DC ESS and DC ESS shed
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
What is the difference between the Automatic RAT deployment and RAT deployed by
pressing the RAT MAN ON on the HYD panel?
RAT MAN ON supplies Blue Hydraulic PSI only, no electrical generation
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
After deploying the RAT by pressing the RAT MAN ON pushbutton on the HYD panel
and it became necessary to also extract electrical power, how it be accomplished?
By pressing the MAN ON pushbutton on the EMER ELEC PWR
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
What would cause the GEN 1 LINE SMOKE light to illuminate?
Smoke detected in the avionics ventilation ducting
- EMER ELEC PWR Panel
ECAM procedure directs the GEN 1 LINE PB to OFF. What is accomplished?
Gen 1 line contactor opens (white OFF light illuminates)
AC BUS 1 powered by GEN 2 through the Bus Tie Contactor
Gen 1 powers one fuel pump directly in each wing tank
- FLIGHT CONTROLS
What type of flight control system does the A320 family aircraft utilize?
Fly-By-Wire System
- FLIGHT CONTROLS
How are they controlled and activated?
Electrically and Hydraulically, respectively
- FLIGHT CONTROLS
How is NORMAL LAW indicated on the PFD?
Green double markers
- FLIGHT CONTROLS
How is ALTERNATE LAW indicated on the PFD?
Amber X’s (indicating lack of NORMAL LAW protections)
- FLIGHT CONTROLS
How is DIRECT LAW indicated on the PFD?
AMBER “USE MANUAL PITCH TRIM”
Amber X’s (indicating lack of NORMAL LAW protections)
- FLIGHT CONTROLS
How is MECHANICAL BACKUP indicated on the PFD?
RED “MAN PITCH TRIM ONLY”
Amber X’s (indicating lack of NORMAL LAW protections)
- FLIGHT CONTROLS
When operating in NORMAL LAW in FLIGHT mode, what does the side stick command for pitch and roll?
Pitch – G load
Bank – Roll Rate
