Q

SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS

Q:​ What is​ the​ difference​ between the​ A319 - A321​ and A320​ regarding speed brake​ usage​ with the​ AP ​on?

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

With the​ A319​ and 321​ you​ get full spoiler deflection​ and with the​ A320​ you only get partial​ ​spoiler deflection

Q

SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS

Q:​ When do the​ Ground​ Spoilers​ automatically extend?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)​ ​

  • Partial​ –​ When reverse​ thrust is selected on at least one​ engine​ with​ the​ other​ at idle​ and one ​main landing​ gear strut is​ compressed​ ​
  • Full​ –​ At touchdown of both main gear​ ,​ or in​ case​ of​ RTO with airspeed above 72​ knots,​ when ​BOTH thrust levers at IDLE (if ground​ spoilers armed)​ or when reverse thrust is​ selected on​ at ​least one engine with the​ other​ thrust lever at IDLE (if​ the ground spoilers​ are​ not armed)
17
Q

SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS

Q:​ When is speedbrake extension inhibited (SAFET)?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)​ ​

  • SEC 1​ and​ 3​ have​ failed​ ​
  • AOA protection is active ​
  • Flaps FULL​ ​
  • Elevator (L​ or R)​ fault​ (only​ spoilers​ 3 and 4 are​ inhibited) ​
  • Thrust​ levers​ above​ the​ MCT​ position
18
Q

SPEED BRAKES / SPOILERS

Q:​ When will​ the​ ground spoilers​ automatically retract?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL.​ III-DSC-27-10-20)​ ​

When at least one​ thrust lever is​ advanced above​ IDLE

19
Q

Speedbrakes Inhibited
(SEAFAT)

A
  • SEC 1 AND 3 fault
  • Elevator L or R fault
  • Alpha Protection active
  • Flaps Full
  • Alpha Floor active
  • Thrust Levers > MCT
20
Q

The steering hand wheels can steer the nose wheel up to how much in each direction?

A

75º

21
Q

TRIMMABLE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER

Q: How is the​ THS normally operated​ in flight? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)​ ​

The​ flight control computers​ control trim​ functions automatically

22
Q

TRIMMABLE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER

Q:​ Can you​ move​ the​ PITCH​ trim wheel if​ all​ systems​ are​ working normally?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)​ ​

Manual​ inputs​ have​ priority​ over​ computer inputs.​ The​ autopilot will​ disconnect

23
Q

TRIMMABLE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER

Q:​ If​ a complete​ flight control computer failure​ occurs​ can the​ THS​ be​ positioned? ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-20)​ ​

Yes,​ mechanical trimming is​ possible​ by​ manually​ positioning the​ Pitch Trim​ Wheel

24
Q

TRIMMABLE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER

Q:​ If​ NO hydraulic power is available can the​ THS be positioned?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-10-10)​ ​

No - the​ THS​ requires​ hydraulic power from the​ Green or​ Yellow systems

25
Q

TRIMMABLE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER

Q:​ What happens to the​ THS when the​ aircraft enters into Ground​ Mode?​ ​

A

Ref: (FOM VOL. III-DSC-27-20-10-20)​ ​ ​

The​ trim automatically​ resets to zero​ (inside​ the​ green​ band)

26
Q

What are the two configurations produced by position 1 on the flaps lever?

A
  • 1+F (Slats and Flaps) for takeoff
  • 1 (Slats Only) in flight
27
Q

What does a
WING TIP BRK ON
message on the E/WD indicate?

A

A hydraulic device locks the flaps in their present position.

28
Q

What system prevents flap or slat asymmetry?

A

Wing Tip Brakes (WTB)

29
Q

What would happen if one of the two SFCC’s failed?

A

Slats and flaps operate at half speed

30
Q

When using the​ rudder pedals​ for steering, when does​ the steering angle​ begin to reduce?​

A

Starts reduction​ at 40 knots​ and progressively​ reduces​ to zero degrees at​ 130​ knots

31
Q

WINGTIP BRAKES
(ROAM)

A
  • Runaway of surface
  • Over speed of mechanism
  • Asymmetry
  • Movement of surface un-commanded
