Q

How do you know if something is a secondary failure on the ECAM?

A

It will be preceded by an asterisk on the display

41
Q

Q

When do you get Thrust Lock?

A

When auto thrust fails

52
Q

What causes Wing Tip Brakes to activate?

A

Asymmetry
Flap Overspeed (if a jackscrew breaks)
Runaway (flaps/slats move past intended position)
Uncommanded movement

53
Q

If you get flap asymmetry will slats still operate?

A

Yes

54
Q

What is Alpha Lock?

A

Prevents slats from being retracting at high AOA or low airspeed

55
Q

On landing if only one landing gear strut is compressed, will the spoilers extend?

A

Partially

56
Q

What happens in flight if a spoiler fault is detected or electrical power is lost?
