All other phases 500 ft

Use of the AP or FD in OPEN DES or DES mode is not permitted in approach, unless the FCU altitude is set to, or above, MDA (MDH) or 500 ft, whichever is highest.

Question 13

Answer 13

-After take off, en route, and terminal area operations.
-Navigation within RNAV/RNP airspace.
-Instrument approaches (except ILS, LOC , LOC B/C, LDA and final approaches).
-Missed approach procedures.

Question 14

Non Precision Approaches with Engine Out (319 only)

(3)

Answer 14

If one engine is inoperative, it is not permitted to use the autopilot to perform NPA in FINAL APP, NAV V/S, NAV/FPA,
only FD use is permitted.

Question 15

Max Operating Altitude with Flaps/Slats Extended

Answer 15

20,000 ft.

Question 16

Minimum Fuel Qty for Take Off

Answer 16

3307 lbs
WING TK LO LVL warning must not be displayed on ECAM.

Question 17

Fuel Tanks must be emptied in which order

Answer 17

Center tanks then wing tanks
Takeoff on center tank is prohibited

Question 18

Normal Operating Hydraulic Pressure

Answer 18

3000 PSI +/- 200

Question 19

Max Brake Temp for Takeoff (fans off)

Answer 19

300 C

150C with fans on.

The braking system is not designed to hold the aircraft in stationary position when a high thrust level is applied on at least one engine. During ground procedures that require a thrust increase with breaking, the flight crew must ensure that the aircraft remains stationary.

Question 20

APU Min Oil Qty

Answer 20

The APU may be started and operated even if the LOW OIL LEVEL ECAM advisory is displayed. Maintenance action is required within the next 10 hours of APU operation.

Max alt to assist engine start, 20,000 ft
Air Conditioning single pack 22,500 ft
Air Conditioning dual pack. 15,000 ft

-Air Bleed extraction for wing anti-ice is not permitted

Question 23

Thrust Settings/EGT Limits

Answer 23

Question 25

Min Oil Qty

Answer 25

9.5 Qts + 0.5 qts consumption for every flight hour.

Question 26

Reduced Thrust Takeoff Limitations

Answer 26

-Take off at reduced thrust is only permitted if the airplane meets all applicable performance requirements at the planned takeoff weight, with the operating engines at the thrust available for the flexible temperature (TFLEX).
Takeoff at reduced thrust is permitted with any inoperative item affecting the performance, only if the associated performance shortfall has been applied to meet all performance requirements.
-T-Flex cannot be:
Higher than ISA +53C. (+60C on A319)(T MAX FLEX).
-Lower than the flat temperature (TREF)
-Lower than the actual OAT.
-Not permitted on contaminated runways.
