Navigation Flashcards
What are the 3 ways to tune radios
- Automatic
- Manually through the mcdu
- Backup via the RMP
How many are installed of each probe
AOA
Pitot
Static
TAT
3 of each except TAT (2)
Difference between steady and flashing IRU fail
Steady = lost
Flashing = can retain attitude in att mode
What’s 1: a cross and 2: a circle on the ND, and what does the different colors mean: blue, magenta
Cross=VOR
Circle=DME
Blue=tuned by fmgc
Magenta=other stations
What are the standby instruments
ISIS (Integrated Standby Instrument System)
Standby compass
DDRMI
What does an “M” and “R” signify next to a frequency on the ND
M=manual tuning via the mcdu radio nav page
R=manual backup tuning via the RMP on the pedestal
Which screen are fed by ILS1?
Cpt PFD and FO ND
When does the radio altimeter flash amber
When below 100’ above DH, or 400’ with no DH
What is the red ribbon on the alt tape on approach, and when does it show
Field elevation, shown below 570’
With predictive windshear set to auto (PWS), when does it activate
Below 1,500 RA (FCOM 2,300’)
If you only have shades of green on the terrain display, what’s your guaranteed clearance
500’ min
What is the TCAS coverage area (nm and feet)
+/- 9,900’ and 100nm
What is the look up and down altitude on a tcas set to “all”
+/- 2,700’
With the “tcas reduce range” message, what scale should you set your ND to
40nm or less
Within what range and height must a target (tcas) be to appear as a proximate target (filled white)
6nm and 1,200’
Below what height is RA (tcas) inhibited
900’
How many legs can a flight plan contain
Max 200
Which status page is shown in these flight phases / scenarios
- Elec pwr on, to 1st engine start
- 1st engine start, to setting takeoff power (also, which page during flight control check)
- T-O power, to reaching cruise alt
- At cruise alt
- LG extended <15,550’ to 2nd eng shutdown
- After shutdown
A. APU master on
B. Engine starting
- Door page
- Wheel page (F/CTL page for 20s when flight controls are moved)
- ENG page
- Cruise page
- Wheel page
- Door page
A. APU page (with external power, until APU stable >95% for 10sec, or master off)
B. ENG Page (from eng start to 10s after)
What are the 4 components of the FMGS, and how many of each?
2 FMGC
2 MCDU
1 FCU Panel
2 FAC
What does a “triple click” aural warning signify on an ILS approach
Any downgrading in the aircraft’s capability for automatic approach and landing
What does the ADIRU 1 power
Cpt PFD and ND + DDRMI
With the check gw message, where can you enter airplane weight now that init b is no longer available
Fuel prediction page
When is the active flight plan normally deleted
30 sec after landing
On emergency generator power, what FMGC functionality will remain
FMGC1 nav functions only
Which FMGC is master (and the other slave in these scenarios)
- Ap2 is on
- Dual autopilot approach
- Both autopilots off
- FMGC 2
- FMGC 1
- FMGC 1
Which DMC can the different ADIRUs connect to
ADIRU 1 = 1&3
ADIRU 2 = 2&3
ADIRU 3 = All
ADIRU 3 gets info from standby pitot, static and AOA, but which TAT probe does it use?
Capt TAT
