Climb?
Descent?
Climb - green dot
Descent - Mach .80/340 kts
If you have selected the EXPED mode, what do you have to do to get out of this mode when it is no longer desired?
Select another vertical mode
On takeoff, what does SRS command?
- normally (all engines)
- if an engine fail is detected?
Normal: SRS gives pitch guidance to maintain airspeed at V2+10
Eng failure: SRS gives pitch guidance to maintain the greater of V2 or current speed up to V2+15
During a 2 engine go around,what speed does SRS command?
SRS gives pitch guidance to maintain the greater of Vapp or the speed at Go Around Engagement, limited to Vls+25
When does SRS change to another vertical mode?
Automatically at Acceleration altitude or when another vertical is engaged
What does the lateral mode RWY represent?
Runway mode is engaged. This mode provides steering guidance during the takeoff roll and initial climb if a localized is available.
Based on the FMA, what is the status of the Autothrust
MAN. |. SRS. |. RWY. |. |.
TOGA. |. CLB. |. NAV. |. |. 1FD2
|. |. |. | A/THR
Armed. (Blue A/THR in right hand column)
During a normal takeoff, when will the A/THR become engaged?
A/THR becomes active after the thrust lever is moved to the climb detent
Based on the FMA, when will the NAV mode engage?
MAN. | SRS | RWY. | |
TOGA. |. CLB. |. NAV. |. |. 1FD2
|. |. |. |. A/THR
Automatically after 30 ft RA after takeoff
What phase of flight is the airplane in?
How is ALT CRZ different from ALT?
MACH. |. ALT CRZ. |. NAV. |. |. AP1
|. |. |. | 1FD2
|. |. |. | a/THR
ALT HOLD (cruise) mode is engaged and pit h guidance is given to hold cruise altitude.
The altitude is permitted to vary +- 50 ft to minimize thrust variations
Based on the FMA (THR IDLE, DES, NAV). What FMA changes will take place If HDG is pulled?
NAV will change to HDG, DES will change to V/S
What is the difference between the vertical modes DES and OP DES?
DES - managed descent is engaged and the FMGS target altitude is lower than the actual altitude, constraints are taken into account.
OP DES - open descent is engaged Nd the FCU selected altitude is lower than the actual altitude. This mode is used to descend directly to the new altitude at a constraint speed, altitude constraints are ignored.
Is the managed DES mode available if speed is selected?
Yes
During an ILS approach, you see LAND on the FMA….
- at what altitude do you expect this?
- what does it mean?
- below 400 ft RA
- Land indicates that the LOC and GS are locked. No action on the FCU will disengage the LAND mode.
During an auto land, with the FMA “flare” indication shown below, what should the autopilot and auto thrust be doing?
AUTOPILOT aligns the yaw axis with runway centerline and flares in pitch. Autothrust reduces thrust to idle.
What are the three methods available to disconnect the Autothrust?
Which of these will cause a “thrust lock” condition?
- Instinctive disconnect pushbuttons
- Move the thrust levers to idle
- Push the A/THR pb on FCU
Option 3 will cause thrust lock
What action is required to restore conventional manual thrust from a thrust lock condition?
Move the thrust levers
If the A/THR instinctive disconnect push button is pressed while the thrust levers are in the climb detent what will happen to the thrust?
Thrust will immediately go to climb thrust
- what will trigger ALPHA FLOOR protection to engage?
- what does this mode do?
- A.Floor is triggered primarily by high AOA
- A.floor means A/THR will command TOGA thrust regardless of THrust lever position
When the aircraft leaves Alpha Floor conditions what FMA change will occur?
A.Floor will change to TOGA LOCK
- what does TOGA LK mean?
- How would you disengage TOGA LK?
Toga lock means TOGA thrust is still being commanded (A.floor condition no longer met)
To disengage TOGA LK the A/THR must be disconnected
