press RCL for 3+ secs if you needed to restore
Which fuel valves close when you turn the ENG master off?
LP and HP
How many motors operate the pressurization outflow valve?
3
2 PCs and manual
Which associated HYD valve closes when you push ENG fire #1?
Green
If it were ENG fire # 2, yellow
Can you get HYD pressure back?
Yes; PTU and yellow Elec pump

Low Energy Warning
“Speed Speed Speed”
Designed to function prior to alpha floor to alert pilot to add thrust and reduce AOA.
Not dependent on flight laws.
It’s independent from auto thrust status and active below 2000 feet, config 2 or greater or when alpha floor is not engaged. 
With a HOT AIR fault, what temp will you have?
Whatever you had last set
Cargo smoke:
What happens when you discharge the bottle?
It discharges into the corresponding compartment
ACCU pressure indicates?
Pressure in the yellow brake accumulator
2 Brake Pressures indicate? System?
Only when the yellow HYD system controls brake pressure.
You should only see when you’re in alternate braking or parking brake.
If you see pressure anytime else, it means that you are not on normal braking (GREEN HYD SYS) and have a problem.
Does OEW (operational empty weight) include pilots? Fa’s? Galley carts?
Pilots only
Difference between flap 3/full landing chart vs. demonstrated?
Demonstrated doesnt account for 50’ above threshold
TAT vs. SAT
TAT (total air temp) has compressibility errors
SAT (static air temp) is temp of undisturbed air
This is why we use SAT in flight
