Which of the following statements is correct regarding the gravity gear extension?

(1) Shuts off and releases hydraulic pressure to the landing gear; (2) Releases Main and
Nose Gear doors; (3) Releases Gear Uplocks

When the Parking Brake is turned OFF, what should the Triple Indicator indicate?

Accumulator pressure in the green and both brake pressure indicators at zero

True or False: There is no ECAM message associated with low oxygen pressure

True

True or False: When the Oxygen Mask N/100% selector is set to N (normal), this provides 100%
oxygen and positive pressure

False

When cabin altitude reaches ~_______ feet, the cabin oxygen masks should deploy

14,000

When dispatched under OpSpec B043, what are the minimum fuel reserves if no alternate is
required?

45 minutes + 10% of the time spent exceeding 1 hour in ORCA airspace

What is the Flight Crew’s responsibility when a flight is planned under B043?

Review the GRAPH included in the Briefing Package and verify the VOR’s being used are in service (i.e. Not NOTAM’d OTS)

Once the new AeroData functionality is turned on, where would a crew find a MALF CODE for a specific failure?

The MALF CODE can be found in FCOM I Chapter 6 & the QRH

In addition to the Normal LDG CONDTIONS entries, what additional steps are necessary to obtain a non-normal landing distance with ACARS?

Toggle to “Non-Norm” and enter the MALF CODE for the specific failure

During oceanic route verification, the crew should calculate Waypoints’ ETA by

Using the takeoff time and adding the OFP elapsed time (TTIME) to determine waypoint ETAs

What is the purpose of the three-second wait time before engaging the APU starter when on the ground?

Ensures LOW OIL LEVEL message is not displayed on lower ECAM prior to start

If the APU GEN has been MEL’d, the crew may accomplish One-Engine Taxi since the MEL “O” Procedures do not prohibit OET

False

What mechanical feature keeps the Overwing Emergency Exits from opening outward and up during flight operations on the A321 NEO aircraft?

Flight lock actuators automatically secure the non plug-type exits from being opened

If the overwing exit flight lock actuators fail or are in the wrong position on the A321 NEO, how will the flight crew be alerted and what action should be taken?

a) An ECAM Caution will be generated to alert the crew to the non normal b) The QRH NOTES section contains further clarification of the problem c) Advise the Cabin Crew of the specific problem relating to the Overwing Exits d) All answers are correct

What action should be taken if the Cockpit Door “OPEN” light begins to flash accompanied by a loud, repetitive, high pitched aural alert?

Select LOCK immediately to deny access since emergency access has been initiated

When issued a CPDLC revised clearance, the “LOAD” prompt will insert the new clearance into the SEC flight plan and requires what pilot action(s)?

The DEP Rwy, SID, STAR and ARR runways must always be manually entered

When reviewing an uplinked clearance, it is acceptable to just print the messages from the DCDU and review the printout.

False, the printout may truncate some important elements of the clearance

An MOT message has been generated and sent to your aircraft, however the time listed does not appear to comply with FAR 117. The best course of action is to:

Set the parking brake in an appropriate location and call Dispatch

Elements of the non-normal philosophy can be applied:

Any time workload increases beyond normal

Once the red line in the Airport Briefing Guide is removed, under the new pilot qualification policy, all pilots will be qualified to fly to all destinations in Latin America.

False, airports identified as having higher risk will continue to require a Latin Qualification.

When diverting or returning to the departure airport becomes necessary, when may the flight crew perform an overweight landing?

Any condition of the Crew, Customer or aircraft making flight continuation impractical or unsafe

The Captain may choose to use Maximum Reverse when necessary. It is recommended to use it.

On runways less than 6,000 ft. and for contaminated runways.

Unnecessary use of Maximum Reverse compromises customer comfort and…

a) Can cause undesired and costly wear and tear on the engines. b) Increases fuel consumption when spooling up the turbofan engines. c) Decreases braking efficiency and increases brake wear rate over time. d) All answers are correct

True or False: It is not possible to overflow the wing tanks when the MODE SEL pb is in MAN

False

Choose the correct statement regarding the fuel feed sequence:

The A321 center tanks feed the wing tanks, which then feed the engines.

Choose the correct statement regarding the ACTs:

The LR has three ACTs: two AFT ACT and one FWD ACT.

True or False. For the LR, the fuel tank feed sequence is as follows: FWD ACT, AFT ACT 2, AFT ACT 1, CTR TK to wing tanks, and wing tanks to engines.

True

Choose the correct statement regarding the ACT Control Panel: a) The ACT Control Panels allow the flight crew to manually control the ACT in case of an automatic system failure.

The ACT Control Panels allow the flight crew to manually control the ACT in case of an automatic system failure.
