effect on information provided by the ECAM?
SGU
What is the EMER CANCEL Pushbutton located on the Warning
Systems Panel on the center console used for?
Cancel any sporadic or anomalous audio alerts.
What is the Predictive Windshear System on the A300 capable

windshear events.
What is the significance of an ECAM primary failure?
Other systems are affected
What ECAM messages are never inhibited for T/O or Landing?
Engine failure, fire or APU fire
What audio warning is associated with an amber MASTER

What happens if both FWC’s fail?
Only the Local Warnings will alert the crew to malfunctions
What does a white flashing “ADV” on the right CRT screen
mean?
Advisory, indicating a system parameter is out of normal
range, but still below a threshold that generates a failure
message
When is “T/O INHIB” or “LDG INHIB” indicated on the top left
of the MEMO page?
T/O power through 1,000’ AGL and during approach from
1,000’ AGL to below 70 kts on landing
Which of the following is a correct list of some of the warning

Landing gear not down
In the event you receive a TCAS Resolution Advisory, how
much time do you have to take corrective action?
5 Seconds
What are the differences between advisory, caution, and
warning indications for windshear based upon?
Distance from the aircraft
Predictive Windshear warnings are based on:
The aircraft weather radar
ATC instructs you to climb to FL200. You select FL200 on the
MCP, and begin climbing in profile. You see the altitude alert
light on the altimeter light up, which lets you know you are
approaching FL200. At what altitude did it illuminate?
19,250 FT
After being instructed by ATC to climb and maintain FL200,
you have leveled off at FL200. The autopilot disengages and
the aircraft begins a gradual descent. You notice the altitude
alert light come on, and shortly after a “C” chord, which
informs you that you have deviated from your selected
altitude. At what altitude did you get both of those
indications?
FL198
