Q

HYDRAULICS

What do the hydraulic priority valves do?

What does GREEN priority valve shut off hydraulic power to?

FM 8.130.10.5

A

If the system pressure drops below a predetermined level, they shut off hyrdaulic power to heavy users (flaps/slats, ldg gear, NWS, emerg gen) to ensure hydraulic pressure is available to flight controls, brakes, spoilers, and TRs

GREEN priority valve shuts off power to:
1. NWS
2. Gear
3. Slats/Flaps

BLUE priority valve shuts off power to:
1. Emerg Gen
2. Slats

AIR SYSTEMS

Avionics Equiptment Ventilation System (AEVS)

Open-circuit configuration
Closed-circuit configuration
Intermediate configuration

A

Open- circuit configuration
Conditions:
- On ground, skin temp > approx. 12°C

Operation
- Inlet and Extract valves open
- Outside air drawn in by blower fan and hot air discharged overboard by extract fan

Closed-circuit configuration
Conditions:
- On ground, when skin temp < approx. 12°C
- Thrust levers set to takeoff power
- Aircraft is in flight

Operation:
- Extracted avionics air cooled by skin heat exchanger, then recirculated through the Avionics Ventilation System
- Skin air inlet and extract valves closed

Intermediate configuration
Conditions
- In flight, skin temp > 35°C

Operation:
- Similar to closed-circuit config, except that, due to high skin temp, some of extracted air is discharged overboard in the skin air extract valve

Operation
- Select BLOWER and EXTRACT pb switches to OVRD
- Blower fan stops, extract fan continues to run
- Air conditioning inlet valve opens, allowing air-conditioned air into the system
- All other valves close except small flap in skin air extract valve, allowing contaminated air to be exhausted overboard

- Greater of V2 or current speed (engine failure)

Engages automatically when TLs set to takeoff position (either TOGA or FLEX)

Disengages when:
- another vertical mode engages
- aircraft reaches acceleration altitude or FCU altitude, whichever is lower

Max pitch limited to 18° and minimum V/S is 120ft/min

In normal law, load factor is limited to +____g’s to -____g’s with the flaps retracted

and

+____g’s to -____g’s with the flaps

A

Flaps retracted:
+2.5g’s to -1g’s

Flaps extended:
+2g’s to 0g’s

FLIGHT CONTROLS

When the A320 reaches an Angle Of Attack defined as alpha protection or alpha prot, the side stick, rather than demanding a load factor, switches to a protection mode in which it directly demands _________________

Q

FLIGHT CONTROLS

What happens when aircraft reaches Alpha Floor (somewhere between Alpha Prot and Alpha Max)?

A

Autothrust will command TOGA thrust, regardless of thrust lever position

Q

FLIGHT CONTROLS

What is VLS? How is it depicted on the speed tape?

A

Lowest Selectable Speed that can be selected by the pilot with the speed select knob on the FCU, and represents 1.28 times V stall in the clean configuration
- top of solid black line on speed tape
- The autopilot pitch channel, or the Autothrust, whichever is controlling speed at the time, will not allow speed to fall below VLS, thus providing a buffer against reaching high Angles Of Attack when the autopilot and Autothrust are in use

Q

FLIGHT CONTROLS

When does the High Speed Protection System become active and what does it do?

It will not allow the aircraft to exceed it’s design limit speed of ___ kts/Mach ___

A

At VMO, Max Operating Speed in level flight + 6 kts, or MMO + .01 the autopilot disconnects, and a nose-up load factor demand is introduced to allow the aircraft to return to the normal speed envelope.

The High Speed Protection System will not allow the aircraft to exceed it’s design limit speed of 383 kts / Mach .89

Q

FLIGHT CONTROLS

When is the Low Energy Warning available?
When is Low Energy Warning tirggered?
What aural warning is heard?

A
  1. Between 2000-100ft, Flaps 2,3, FULL
  2. if the aircraft speed drops below a threshold where power must be increased to maintain the flight profile.
    1. “SPEED, SPEED, SPEED”

In direct law, turn coordination is not available, therefore, yaw must be controlled with

A

rudder input

Q

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AND DISPLAYS

With the RCDR GND CTL in AUTO, when is the DFDR energized/de-energized?

A

on the ground:
- only during the first 5 min after electrical power has been supplied to the aircraft, or
- when at least one engine is running

in flight:
powered at all times

After landing:
- de-energized 5 min after the last engine is shutdown.
