Protections

Question 1

Explain flare mode

Answer 1

Normal law

50’ pitch attitude is memorised (trim frozen)

30 ft A/c trims forward 2 deg/sec over 8 sec

Pilot had to flare

Question 2

Normal law

Bottom of the speed tape

Answer 2

VLS (orange line)

v alpha prot (orange broken)

V alpha max (red)

Question 3

Highest and lowest FCU sel speeds

Answer 3

399-100

Question 4

Autothrust protection speed

Answer 4

With autothrust in, speed won’t go above VMO MMO, or below VLS

Question 5

Load factor limiter purpose

Answer 5

Restricts nose up/down imputes to maintain aircraft structural limits

Question 6

When does G meter come on and where?

Answer 6

Lower ECAM

> 1.4G
<0.7G

Question 7

Clean load factor limits

Answer 7

+2.5G

-1G

Question 8

Flaps extended load factor limits

Answer 8

+2G

0G

Question 9

Pitch attitude protection

Conf 0-3
Conf full

Answer 9

Conf 0-3 30deg nose up
Conf full 25deg nose up
(5 less low speed)

Nose down -15deg

Question 10

Pitch attitude protection:

side-stick demands

Answer 10

> 30 NU nose up no effect, nose down avail

-15 ND nose up avail, nose down no effect

Question 11

1G stall happens at V alpha what?

Answer 11

V alpha max

Question 12

Where is alpha prot range and what happens?

Answer 12

Alpha prot to alpha max

Side-stick directly proportional to alpha

Question 13

What happens during high alpha prot when you release sidestick

Answer 13

Speed returns to alpha prot

Question 14

Alpha prot - something to consider?

Answer 14

AP disconnect if alpha prot active

Question 15

How to deactivate high alpha prot

Answer 15

Push side-stick forward 8deg for >0.5sec

Question 16

High speed protection overview

Answer 16

Aircraft will pitch up

TBC

Question 17

Can you override high speed protection?

Answer 17

Yes
Traffic TCAS RA scenario

Eventually, but aircraft won’t over stress, sidestick input will be reduced to zero

Question 18

Over speed threat

Answer 18

Won’t hear AP disconnect, overspeed warning takes priority

KNOW YOUR FMA!

Question 19

Normal law max bank angle

Answer 19

67 deg

Question 20

67 deg angle of bank, release side stick what happens?

Answer 20

Goes back to 33 deg AOB

Question 21

> 33 deg AOB pitch considerations

Answer 21

No pitch compensation

Aft SS will be required

Question 22

High speed prot
Max Bank angle
Why?
What happens release side stick

Answer 22

Max bank angle 40 deg

Due to LOAd FACTOR

Roll back to neutral

Question 23

High alpha

Max bank angle

Answer 23

45 degree max bank angle

No return to zero

Question 24

Bank angle when doe FD disappear and reappear?

Answer 24

45 back at 40

Question 25

In pitch when do you loose FD and when do they come back?

Answer 25

Loose +25 back at +20

Loose -13 back at -10
