NORMAL LAW

Question 1

In the NORMAL LAW GRND MODE, to what is the movement of the flight controls in proportion?

Answer 1

Side stick deflection

Question 2

What is inhibited at > 33 degrees of Bank?

Answer 2

Automatic Pitch Trim

Question 3

What is demanded by pitch and roll input via the side stick during flight?

Answer 3

Load-factor (G)

Question 4

What happens to the Flight Path Angle if the stick is released to neutral during flight?

Answer 4

Holds the Flight Path Angle based on Load Factor demand

Question 5

What are the G-load protection limits?

Answer 5

Clean Config: +2.5 to -1.0 G

Any other Config: +2.0 to 0.0 G

Question 6

Descending through 30’ RA on the approach, what happens to the Pitch Control?

Answer 6

Reduces pitch to -2 degrees Nose Down Attitude over a period of 8 seconds

Question 7

What are the Pitch Attitude Limits in Normal Law?

Answer 7

Normal SPD/CONFIG 0-3: 30 degrees NUA
Low SPD/CONFIG 0-3: 25 degrees NUA
Normal SPD/CONFIG FULL: 25 degrees NUA
Low SPD/CONFIG FULL: 20 degrees NUA

NDA limit - 15 degrees in every CONFIG

Question 8

What are the Protections in Normal Law?

4 x vertical, 1 x lateral

Answer 8

• High Speed
• Low Speed
• High AoA (Alpha)
• Load Factor
• Bank

Question 9

What is the lowest speed achievable with hands off the stick, no inputs?

Answer 9

V Alpha Prot

Question 10

What is the lowest speed achievable with side stick full back?

Answer 10

V alpha Max

Question 11

When system is in Alpha Prot, what does side stick movement command?

Answer 11

Alpha (AoA) (so not pitch!)

Question 12

What happens if at Alpha Max, the side stick is released to neutral?

Answer 12

AoA returns to Alpha Prot & Stays there until pilot takes action

Question 13

What happens to the thrust if A.FLOOR (Alpha Floor) is annunciated?

Answer 13

TOGA N1 is set regardless of the thrust lever position

Question 14

When does HI SPD protection activate?

Answer 14

VMO/MMO value + 6 knots (green indication on speed tape in barber-pole)

Question 15

What happens to the PITCH if HI SPD is activated?

Answer 15

A permanent (slow) pitch order is applied by the flight computer
Pitch trim is frozen
Bank angle set to 0 degrees
Speed brought back to just below VMO/MMO

Question 16

What happens if side stick is pushed forward in HI SPD PROTECTION?

Answer 16

Nose goes down but with reduced side stick authority (max VMO/MMO value + 36 knot)

Question 17

What is the Max Bank Angle?

Answer 17

67 degrees

Question 18

What happens to the FD/FMA if more than 45 degrees of bank is applied?

Answer 18

• FD-bars disappear

- AP disconnects

Question 19

What is the max bank angle for a “no hands” turn?

Answer 19

33 degrees

Question 20

What is the max bank angle in:

HI SPD Protection?

Alpha Protection?

Answer 20

HI SPD: manually 40 degrees (no hands 0 roll back)

Alpha Prot: manually 45 degrees
