550 lbs, 5 mins
Areas not pressurized
-Radome
-landing gear bays
-air conditioning compartment
-tail
Inhibits for PTU
-engine master switches are mismatched and the toe pin is attached or parking brake set
-cargo door operation and 40 seconds after
-when push button is selected off
What do you need for a fire indication
-both loops detect fire
-one loop is faulty and the other loop detects the fire
-both loops physically break within 5 seconds of each other
What is the max bank angle in normal law (green equal signs)
67 deg
On roll when does the aircraft stop auto trimming
33 deg

-exit signs
-escape path marking lights
Three ways to disconnect auto thrust
-instinctive disconnect pushbuttons
-thrust levers to idle
-A/THR pushbutton
When is alpha floor active
Liftoff to 100ft RA on approach
When would thrust lock occur
-Thrust levers in the CL detent and A/TH pushbutton on the FCU is pushed
