Type Rating 1 - IRS ECAM 2

Question 1

When should the EMER CANC button be used?

Answer 1

Only to surpress spurious master cautions

Question 2

What does the speed trend arrow tell you?

Answer 2

Speed in 10 seconds of the acceleration remains constant

Question 3

What is signified by the IAS target being magenta or blue?

Answer 3

Magenta = managed. Blue = selected

Question 4

What is shown in the bottom left corner of the PFD? And when?

Answer 4

ILS information when the ILS pb is pushed
Mach if M>0.5
Speed if speed lower than range

Question 5

In a managed descent, how is ECON speed range represented? Above a speed restriction? Below a speed restriction?

Answer 5

+5 / -20 if there is a constraint

+20 / -20 if no constraints

Question 6

How is the speed target displayed if it is not in the ‘window’ (ie off the scale)?

Answer 6

Digital number - blue if pilot selected, magenta if managed

Question 7

What causes a NEG to appear on the altitude strip?

Answer 7

A negative altitude. Can be due to incorrect QNH setting or being below sea level

Question 8

What is signified by F, S and Green Dot speed?

Answer 8

F - Minimum speed flaps retracted for T/O. Target speed in config 2 or 3
S - Minimum speed slats retracted for T/O. Target speed in config 1
Green dot - EO clean speed. Best lift to drag ratio speed

Question 9

If on the PFD the altitude bug is 5000 blue, where else will 5000 be displayed?

Answer 9

FCU

Question 10

How does the target altitude indication change if the baro set knob on the EFIS control panel is pushed/pulled?

Answer 10

Changes between QNH and FL

Question 11

How is the actual track of the A/C represented?

Answer 11

Small green diamond

Question 12

What information is given by the FPV?

Answer 12

Track and flight path angle

Question 13

What symbols on the speed tape represent the following?
V1
Vr
V2

Answer 13

V1 - Blue number 1
Vr - Cyan circle
V2 - Blue or magenta triangle

Question 14

What is always directly below the FPV?

Answer 14

Track index, which is displayed in blue

Question 15

How is the ILS course represented?

Answer 15

Magenta dagger on the heading scale

Question 16

The wind arrow/digits indicate what?

Answer 16

Wind speed and direction. Both True, not magnetic

Question 17

What does M or R mean next to a VOR or ADF indication?

Answer 17

M means manually selected. R means tuned by RMP

Question 18

What provides the ND with groundspeed and TAS info?

Answer 18

ADIRS

Question 19

Where can VOR beam bars be displayed? Can you lock on to a VOR radial?

Answer 19

VOR ROSE mode. You can use CRS in RADNAV but not specifically ‘lock on’

Question 20

How is the PLAN mode orientated?

Answer 20

True north up

Question 21

When, in AUTO, does the recorder (FDRS) run?

Answer 21

On ground during first 5 minutes after the electric network energised
On ground after first engine start
In flight (whether engines running or not)
Five minutes after the second engine has shut down

Question 22

What is the maximum demonstrated tailwind for takeoff and landing?

Answer 22

15 knots

Question 23

How is the actual heading of the A/C represented?

Answer 23

A white scale on a grey background moves in front of a fixed yellow line to indicate actual magnetic heading
