Speeds

Question 1

The speed/Mach control is:

Answer 1

Managed, when the target comes from the FMS ‐ Selected, when the target comes from the SPD/MACH FCU window.

Question 2

SRS TO is engaged, and the aircraft is on ground.

Answer 2

V2

Question 3

SRS TO is engaged, and the aircraft is airborne

Answer 3

V2 + 10 kt Note: However, the magenta triangle appears on the V2 value, on the PFDs.

Question 4

SRS TO is engaged, and one engine is out.

Answer 4

Memorized aircraft speed at engine-out detection. The target value is limited by V2 and V2 + 15 kt.

Question 5

SRS GA is engaged.

Answer 5

Memorized aircraft speed at SRS GA engagement. The lower limit of the target is the VAPP memorized at 700 ft RA. The higher limit of the target is the lowest value between: ‐ VLS + 25 kt (or VLS + 15 kt OEI) ‐ VMAX - 5 kt

Question 6

At go-around, the target speed becomes the memorized go-around speed, which is the higher of

Answer 6

VAPP or the speed when go-around was initiated. Managed SPD target is maintained

Question 7

The Ground Speed Mini function is active when

Answer 7

The speed is managed ‐ The FMS flight phase is the approach phase

Question 8

VAPP is the highest of the following computations:

Answer 8

VAPP = VLS + 1/3 x TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT, or ‐ VAPP = VLS + 5 kt.

Question 9

“1/3 of the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT” has 2 limits:

Answer 9

‐ 0 kt as the minimum value (no wind or tailwind) ‐ +15 kt as the maximum value.

Question 10

Computing Green Dot: below 20,000 ft =

Answer 10

2 x weight (tons) + 85 ; above 20,000 ft = + 1 kt per 1,000 ft FCOM DSC 22 10 50 20 characteristic speeds
