INITIALIZATION
ADIRS INITIALIZATION involves two steps during cockpit preparation. What are
these?
ALIGNMENT: At the beginning of the pre-flight checks, the crew sets the ADIRS selectors
to NAV, in order to start alignment in which GYROS and Altimeters get ready for NAV
computation.
INITIALIZATION:
The F-PLN origin airport coordinates are extracted from the FMS database. These
coordinates
appear on the MCDU INITA page, and are normally used for initialization. They are the
airport
reference coordinates.
If a high navigation performance is desired, the crew should adjust the airport reference
coordinates to the gate coordinates, provided that this data is published or available on board.
Or
The ADIRS are automatically initialized at the GPS position. These GPS coordinates are
displayed on the MCDU INIT A page, in replacement of the airport reference coordinates,
after the pilot entered the FROM-TO airport pair.

The SRS flight guidance laws provide speed targets in SRS and includes some attitude
protection. In the case of wind shear, what maximum attitude does the guidance law
reduce the aircraft nose-up attitude to, during takeoff?
17.5 degrees.
22.5 degrees.
30 degrees.
SRS mode:
1. Disengages automatically, at the acceleration altitude for two engine operation.
2. However, in engine out conditions, SRS does not disengage automatically at ACC ALT
3. Disengages when crew engages another vertical mode
4. During T/O, if altitude on FCU is set lower than current altitude, a/c will remain in
SRS mode until pilot takes some corrective action.

During short final, ATC advises to Go-Around. By advancing thrust levers to TOGA:
SRS mode engages with NAV if at least in Config 1{FMA displays SRS / NAV} and if FDs were
off, FD bars are restored during SRS/NAV.
When SRS mode is engaged, target speed is limited to Green Dot speed.
Both the above are correct.
In flight, either the AP/FD pitch control, or auto thrust may acquire and hold a target speed or Mach number,
depending on the engaged pitch modes.
Speed control is:
‐ Managed when the target comes from the FMGS
‐ Selected when the target comes from the SPD/MACH FCU window.
A. 1
B. 1,3
C. 1,2,3
If you change SPD from Managed to Select Mode, is there any change on FMA?
Yes
No.
During approach, once approach phase is activated on MCDU, if you disconnect both AP/FDs, you
can have:
Only Selected SPEED mode,
Only Managed SPEED mode,
Any of managed or selected SPD.
During approach, once approach phase is activated on MCDU, if you disconnect both AP/FDs,
A/THR reverts to:
Selected SPEED mode,
Both managed and selected SPD are available.
When in SPEED/MACH mode, the A/THR does not allow speed excursions beyond the following
limits, regardless of the target speed or Mach number:
‐ For a selected speed target, the limits are VLS and VMAX (VMO-MMO, VFE-VLE, whichever
applies)
‐ For a managed speed target, the limits are maneuvering speed (Green Dot, S, F, whichever
applies) and maximum speed (340/0.80-VFE-VLE, whichever applies).
In flight, if situation calls for, PFD and MCDU display a message proposing to change from selected mode to
managed mode.
{SET MANAGED SPED, SET HOLD SPEED, SET GREEN DOT SPEED}
True
False
The form of the managed SPD profile depends on the lateral NAV mode.
If NAV Mode is engaged, the Managed speed profile is as follows:
V2 - SPD LIM - SPD CSTR (if applicable) - ECON CLB SPD/MACH - ECON CRZ MACH -ECON or preset DES
MACH/SPD -SPD LIM - SPD CSTR (if applicable) - HOLD SPD (ifapplicable) - VAPP.
The minimum energy level is the energy level the aircraft will have at touch down if it lands at
VAPP speed with the tower reported wind as inserted in the PERF APPR page.
The minimum energy level is represented by the Ground Speed the aircraft will have at touch
down. This Ground Speed is called “GROUND SPD MINI”.
During the approach, the FMGS continuously computes the speed target using the wind
experienced by the aircraft in order to keep the ground speed at or above the “Ground Speed
Mini”.

During the approach, the FMGS continuously computes the speed target using the wind experienced by the
aircraft in order to keep the ground speed at or above the “Ground Speed Mini”.
The lowest speed target is limited to VAPP and its upper limit is VFE of next configuration in CONF 1, 2, 3
and VFE-5 in CONF FULL.
When in Config 0 during approach, speed target is limited by VAPP and 230 kts {VFE Next for 1}
When in Config 1 during approach, speed target is limited by VAPP and 200kts {VFE Next for 2}
When in Config 2 during approach, speed target is limited by VAPP and 185kts {VFE Next for 3}
When in Config 3 during approach, speed target is limited by VAPP and 177kts {VFE Next for
FULL}
When in Config FULL during approach, speed target is limited by VAPP and 172 kts {VFE -5}
But IAS TARGET = Max [VAPP, (VAPP + CURRENT HEADWIND - TWR HEADWIND)] limited by VFE

You need to know VLS, TWR WIND, VAPP= VLS + X, X greater of {5, 1/3 of TWR head wind}
IAS target speed magenta= IAS TARGET = Max [VAPP, (VAPP + CURRENT HEADWIND - TWR
HEADWIND)] limited by VFE Next.
VAPP COMPUTATION
VAPP, automatically displayed on the MCDU PERF APPR page, is computed as follows:
‐ VAPP = VLS+1/3 of the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT, or
‐ VAPP = VLS +5 kt, whichever is the highest.
"1/3 of the TWR HEADWIND COMPONENT" has two limits:
‐ 0 kt as the minimum value (no wind or tailwind)
‐ +15 kt as the maximum value.
Due to ATC requirements, you are given a new take-off clearance in which you have to maintain runway
HDG after airborne. As such you use HDG / TRK selector and set the new HDG in the window. After airborne:
1. NAV will not get engaged at 30 ft.
2. RWY TRK will get engaged passing 30 ft on FMA until HDG/TRK knob is pulled.
3. HDG/TRK will get engaged when HDG/TRK knob is pulled.

A GO Around has been carried out without setting thrust levers to TOGA position
This will sequence the destination and erase the active flight plan when flying
over or abeam the airport.
Carrying out a go- around without setting TOGA thrust is not possible.
As in (a) but if TOGA thrust is selected temporarily and then the THR lever is
retarded, the flight plan is not erased.
This will not have any effect on the flight plan.
Go- Around is mandatory during a CAT II / III approach if AUTOLAND caution light illuminates during approach.
In Cruise, you get AUTO FLT FAC 1 + 2 FAULT. Mark the correct statement:
PFD characteristic speeds are lost along with Yaw Damper, Rudder Travel System and
Rudder Trim control.
F/CTL Normal Laws are lost and aircraft enters in ALTN LAW. All protections are lost.
α –Floor protection is available even with this failure.
All the above are correct.
What does the Energy circle symbol (green dashed arc) on the ND indicate?
Represents the Required Distance to Land. Displayed in descent and approach phase if HDG
or TRK modes are engaged.
Represents the Required Distance to Land. Displayed in descent and approach phase if NAV
mode is engaged.
Both {A} and {B} are correct.
ALPHA-FLOOR PROTECTION
Alpha-floor protection automatically sets the thrust at TOGA thrust, when the aircraft reaches a very high
angle of attack, regardless of the thrust lever positions.
Alpha-floor is available from lift-off until the aircraft reaches 100 ft RA in approach.
Alpha-floor is lost under alternate or direct flight control law.
Alpha-floor is lost when the FADECs are in N1 degraded mode.
Alpha-floor is lost in engine-out, when slats/flaps are extended.
An aircraft encountering wind shear (below a certain energy threshold) will generate a
signal. When is this detection function active?
At all times that the aircraft is configured with flaps/slats extended.
At takeoff when up to 1,000 ft RA or, below 2,000 ft with the aircraft configured for landing.
3 sec after lift off to 1300 ft on takeoff, and 1300 ft to 50 ft on landing, with at least Config 1
selected.
The windshear detection function is provided by the Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC) in takeoff
and approach phase in the following conditions:
‐ At takeoff, 3 s after liftoff, up to 1 300 ft RA
‐ At landing, from 1 300 ft RA to 50 ft RA
‐ With at least CONF 1 selected.
The warning consists of:
‐ A visual “WINDSHEAR” red message displayed on both PFDs for a minimum of 15 s.
‐ An aural synthetic voice announcing “WINDSHEAR” three times.
In windshear conditions, flight guidance acts on specially adapted FD pitch orders received from the speed
reference system (SRS). The pilot must set go around thrust immediately (which also triggers the FD SRS
mode), and follow the pitch order to execute the optimum escape maneuver.
An aural low-energy “SPEED SPEED SPEED” warning, repeated every 5 s, warns the
pilot that the aircraft’s energy level is going below a threshold under which he has to
increase thrust, in order to regain a positive flight path angle through pitch control.
During deceleration, the low-energy warning is triggered before alpha floor (unless
alpha floor
is triggered by stick deflection).
QP on A/THR System:
What is the difference between variable thrust and the speed mode?
In the fixed thrust mode, thrust is fixed and the elevator controls the speed.
In the speed mode, thrust is variable and by varying thrust, speed of the a/c is controlled.
Both are correct.
A/THR engagement is confirmed when 'A/THR' is displayed in ______ in the right column of
the FMA.
Green
Blue
White
For Take off, thrust levers are pushed to TOGA / FLEX gate with FD on and V2
defined on PERF TAKE OFF page.
A/THR engages automatically and A/THR push button illuminates on FCU
ATHR engages in TOGA / FLEX if TO in flex.
SRS mode is engaged
All the above are correct.
After take off the A/THR will not become active until:
The thrust levers are placed in the CLIMB position.
The thrust levers are moved out of the TO/GA or FLEX/MCT detents.
The autopilot is engaged.
The A/THR pushbutton is manually selected ON.
When is the auto thrust active with both the engines running?
When the thrust lever is between idle and MCT
When both levers are between idle and CLB
One thrust lever is between IDLE and CLB and the other is between IDLE AND MCT
(including MCT) power FLEX T/O is not selected.
Both (b) and (c) are correct .
With auto thrust active, what is the upper limit of the EPR target?
CLB
MCT
Actual position of the thrust lever
TOGA
As far as FMA annunciations are concerned, what would indicate that the A/THR
system is active?
'SPEED' appears in green in column one, line one.
'A/THR' changes from blue to white as shown in column five, line three.
'A/THR' changes from white to blue in column five, line one.
'SPEED' appears in amber in column one, line one.
Auto Thrust System: When are the throttles in the engagement range?
Both throttles are above idle but not above the CLB detent when both engines are running.
A single throttle of an operating engine is above idle but not above the MCT detent when one
engine is running.
All of the above.
With the aircraft in flight, AP engaged and A/THR active, the ATHR mode:
Can be chosen by the pilot on the FCU
Can be chosen by the pilot on the MCDU
Depends on AP lateral mode
Depends on AP vertical mode
What happens to engine thrust if active A/ THR disengaged with thrust levers
in CLB gate ?
Engine thrust is frozen at the value before the A/THR disengagement and
THR – LK message appears on the FMA
Engine power reduces to IDLE power on both engines
Engine thrust will change immediately and corresponds to thrust lever position
Engine power increases upto MCT on both engines.
What happens to the engine power at the time of disengagement of A/THR if the thrust
levers are not in CLB or MCT?
Engine power is frozen to the value at the item of disengagement of ATHR
Engine power immediately changes to idle
Engine power changes to TOGA or MCT
Engine power changes to TLA position immediately
Thrust Lock function of A/THR is activated when the thrust levers are in the CL detent
and:
1. The flight crew pushes the A/THR p/b on the FCU.
2. The A/THR disconnects due to a failure.
3. The flight crew disconnects A/THR by using Instinctive Disconnect p/b.

The thrust delivered by A/THR is already at MAX CLB thrust. Is it possible to obtain
some additional thrust?
Yes, by setting a higher speed target.
Yes, by moving the thrust levers forward from the CL detent.
No, because the A/THR already delivers the maximum available thrust.
If the FLEX TEMP is not entered on the PERF Page of the MCDU:
A FLX takeoff is still available; set power with the thrust levers.
The FMGS will enter it for you based on TAT.
A FLX takeoff is not available.
In manual thrust on ILS {with G/S & LOC engaged}, the thrust levers will be
somewhere between IDLE and CLB gates. If you press A/THR button on FCU, what
happens?
A/THR engages in SPEED mode.
A/THR engages in THR IDLE mode.
A/THR mode engagement will depend whether a/c is below the profile or above the profile.
During an ILS approach {A/THR in use}, due to wind shear, speed becomes
uncomfortably low {No wind shear warnings}. Your instinctive reaction would be to
move thrust Levers forward beyond CLB detent. This will cause:
A/THR to disengage but remain armed.
A/THR to remain engaged and remains armed.
As in {A} above and as A/THR is in MAN mode so MAN THR will be shown in FMA at
thrust window.
As in {B} above and SPEED will continue to be shown in FMA at thrust window.
Holding the instinctive disconnect push button's for more than fifteen seconds will:
Disengage the A/THR (including Alpha Floor) until below 1000 feet AGL for the remainder
of the flight.
Disengage the A/THR (including Alpha Floor) until below 500 feet AGL for the remainder of
the flight.
Disengage the A/THR (excluding Alpha Floor) for the remainder of the flight.
Disengage the A/THR (including Alpha Floor) for the remainder of the flight.
If an A/THR disconnect switch is pushed and held for more than _______ seconds; the A/THR
system is disconnected for the remainder of the flight; including the _______.
10 Seconds - Alpha floor Protection
12 Seconds - Alpha floor Protection
15 Seconds - Alpha floor Protection
18 Seconds - Alpha floor Protection
If the instinctive disconnect pushbuttons on the thrust levers are depressed momentarily
to disconnect autothrust:
Autothrust can be reengaged using the A/THR pushbutton on the FCU, Alpha Floor is lost for
the remainder of the flight.
Autothrust can be reengaged using the A/THR pushbutton on the FCU, Alpha Floor is
available if required.
Both autothrust and alpha floor are lost for the remainder of the flight.
After Take-Off, once out of thrust reduction altitude, if you bring back the thrust levers
to below CLB gate, what will happen?
THR LVR {green} in col1 of FMA will replace MAN TOGA/ MAN FLX ZZ.
LVR CLB flashes white in Col 1 of FMA.
Alongwith {A} and {B} above an ECAM Caution of AUTO FLT A/ THR LIMITED
message is generated with aural warning every 5 seconds.
Both {A} and {B} are correct but the ECAM Caution of A/THR LIMITED will not be
generated.
When Alpha floor is activated, what power setting is automatically commanded and
what FMA annunciation would appear in Column one?
TOGA / A. FLOOR
CLB / CLB
MCT / THR LK
THR / LK
If the thrust levers are set in the idle detent, is Alpha floor protection still available?
Yes Thrust lever position is disregarded.
Yes, as long as 'A/THR' appears in Column five.
No, because the IDLE detent is out of the A/THR active range.

Flight Controls
Ailerons:
The maximum deflection of the ailerons is 25 °.
The ailerons extend 5 ° down when the flaps are extended (aileron droop).
The maximum deflection of the spoilers is 35 °.
The maximum elevator deflection is 30 ° nose up, and 17 ° nose down.
The maximum THS deflection is 13.5 ° nose up, and 4 ° nose down.
The flight control surfaces are _______ controlled and _______ actuated.
Electrically / hydraulically
Mechanically / hydraulically
Electrically / electrically
Pitch Control:
Two elevators and the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) control the aircraft in pitch.
The maximum elevator deflection is 30 ° nose up, and 17 ° nose down.
The maximum THS deflection is 13.5 ° nose up, and 4 ° nose down.
‐ In normal operation:
• One jack is in active mode.
• The other jack is in damping mode.
• Some maneuvers cause the second jack to become active.
‐ If the active servo jack fails, the damped one becomes active, and the failed jack is
automatically switched to damping mode.
‐ If neither jack is being controlled electrically, both are automatically switched to the
centering mode.
‐ If neither jack is being controlled hydraulically, both are automatically switched to
damping mode.

STABILIZER:
Two hydraulic motors drive the stabilizer, powered by Green and Yellow.
The two hydraulic motors {both} are controlled by:
1. One of three electric motors.
2. The mechanical trim wheel.
Mechanical control of the THS is available from the pitch trim wheel at any time, if either the
green or yellow hydraulic system is functioning.
Mechanical control from the pitch trim wheel has priority over electrical control.
If a/c is in Normal Law, SEC does not control the servo jacks for Elevator or THS.
True
False.
The side stick sends electrical orders to the ELevator Aileron Computers (ELACs) and
Spoiler Elevator Computers (SECs).
There are two ELACs: ELAC 1 normally controls the ailerons, with ELAC 2 as back-up. In
case of failure of ELAC 1, ELAC 2 will automatically take control.
Using orders coming from the ELACs, each SEC sends orders to one or two pairs of spoilers,
without back-up.
Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC) 1, with FAC 2 as back-up, transmits turn coordination
orders for the rudder.
When the autopilot is engaged, the Flight Management and Guidance Computer (FMGC)
sends roll commands to the ELACs and the FACs and to the SECs through the ELACs via
ARINC 429 data buses.
AILERONS:
There are two electrically-controlled hydraulic actuators per aileron, one in active mode and
the other in damping mode. The left blue and right green actuators are controlled by ELAC 1
and the other two actuators by ELAC 2.
All aileron actuators revert to damping mode in case of a double ELAC failure or green and
blue hydraulic low pressure.
Failure cases:
ELAC 1 FAILURE
The loss of ELevator Aileron Computer (ELAC) 1 leads to select ELAC 2 active. ELAC 2 computes the lateral
orders in normal law and transmits them to the Spoiler Elevator Computer (SEC) for the
roll spoiler
ELECTRICAL FAILURE
In case of total electrical loss, induced roll is obtained by using the rudder pedals, which have a mechanical
control.

Response of Flight Controls is different when a/c is on ground, in flight, in flare etc.
Adaptation of basic control law objectives to:
- Ground phase: ground mode
Direct relationship between stick and elevator available before lift-off and after touch-down
- Take-off phase: take-off mode
For smooth transition, blend of ground phase law and Nz command law over 5 seconds after
lift off.
- Landing phase: flare mode
At 50ft the attitude is memorized as reference pitch attitude.
At 30ft this value is progressively reduced to 2° nose down to induce gentle positive pilot
action for
a conventional flare.
- Flight mode
• Pitch axis:
Side stick deflection corresponds to a vertical load factor demand.
The Normal Law elaborates elevator and THS orders
• Lateral axis:
Side stick deflection corresponds to a roll rate demand which is converted into a bank angle
demand.
The Normal Law signal roll and yaw surfaces to achieve bank angle demand and maintain it.
Pedal deflection corresponds to a sideslip/bank angle demand.
- Ground mode, take-off mode
Normal Law is the same for these phases, it establishes the same direct relationship between
pilot‟s inputs and surface deflection which is speed dependent.
- Landing mode
• Pitch axis:
The objective derived from a stick input is adapted from a load factor demand to a pitch
attitude demand.
• Lateral axis:

While in flight operating in Normal law, movement of the sidestick and subsequent
return to neutral will command:
A load factor proportional to stick deflection, then maintain one G flight corrected for pitch
attitude.
control surface movements proportional to stick deflection, then return the aircraft to straight
and level flight.
Control surface movements proportional to stick deflection, disconnect auto trim, and
maintain its current attitude.

bank angle will not go beyond 45 °.
If High Speed Protection is active, and the pilot maintains full lateral deflection on the sidestick, the bank
angle will not go beyond 40 °.
Beyond 33 ° of bank, the pitch trim stops working in normal law.

The flight director bars disappear from the PFD when the pitch attitude exceeds 25 ° up or 13 °
down. They return to the display when the pitch angle returns to the region between 22 ° up and
10 ° down.
α floor is activated through the A/THR system, when α is greater than α floor which is
9.5 ° in configuration 0;
15 ° in configuration 1, 2;
14 ° in configuration 3;
13 ° in configuration FULL
α floor is activated through the A/THR system, when side stick deflection is greater than 14 ° nose up, with
either the pitch attitude or the angle-of-attack protection active.
To deactivate the angle of attack protection, the pilot must push the sidestick:
‐ Greater than 8 ° forward, or,
‐ Greater than 0.5 °for at least 0.5 s when α < α MAX.
Depending on the flight conditions (high acceleration, low pitch attitude), the High Speed Protection is
activated at, or above, VMO/MMO.{ green = symbol is at VMO +6 Kt}.
High Speed Protection is deactivated, when the aircraft speed decreases below VMO/MMO, where the
usual normal control laws are recovered.
When it is activated, spiral static stability is introduced to 0 ° bank angle (instead of 33 ° in normal
law), and the bank angle limit is reduced from 67 ° to 40 °.
As the speed increases above VMO/MMO, the sidestick nose-down authority is progressively
reduced, and a permanent nose-up order is applied to aid recovery to normal flight conditions.
The High Speed Protection is deactivated when the aircraft speed decreases below VMO/MMO,
where the usual normal control laws are recovered.
On PFD speed scale, black and red barber pole appears below stall warning speed

What is the bank angle after which positive spiral stability is introduced?
33 degrees
45 degrees
40 degrees
As in (a) spiral stability starts from 0 deg if high speed protection is active.
Alternate law reduces VMO to 320 kt to restore a normal aircraft speed margin in case of
upset. This is not necessary in the Mach range, because the margin there is, in any case,
conventional.
The load factor limitation is similar to that under normal law.
There is no pitch attitude protection. Amber Xs replace the green double bars “=” on the PFD.
LOW SPEED STABILITY
An artificial low speed stability replaces the normal angle-of-attack protection. It is available
for all slat/flap configurations, and the low speed stability is active from about 5 kt up to about
10 kt above stall warning speed, depending on the aircraft’s gross weight and slats/flaps
configuration.
A gentle progressive nose down signal is introduced, which tends to keep the speed from falling
below these values.
The system also injects bank-angle compensation, so that operation effectively maintains a
constant angle of attack.
In addition, audio stall warnings (crickets + “STALL” synthetic voice message) is activated at an
appropriate margin from the stall condition.
The PFD speed scale is modified to show a black/red barber pole below the stall warning.
The α floor protection is inoperative.
The AP will disconnect, if speed exceeds VMO/MMO, or if the bank angle exceeds
45 °.
What are the protections lost in ―Pitch Alternate Law without protections‖ as compared
to “Pitch Alt Law with protection” ?

SIDESLIP TARGET
In the case of an engine failure at takeoff, or at go-around, the sideslip index on the PFD changes
from yellow to blue if logic conditions are fulfilled:
In flight, the lateral normal law commands some rudder surface deflection to minimize the sideslip.

B.) The available fuel in one of the tank is unusable.
C.) Both {A} and {B} are correct
In ETOPS flights, you have to check the ops of XFEED Valve in cockpit operation.
When you sw on, you should observe that
The A/C is on the ground, slats extended and in AUTO MODE. When all tank pump P/Bs are
pressed, wing tank pumps are running all the time and center tank pumps are not running
because the slats are extended.
At engine start, the fuel used indication is reset. The engine identification number becomes
white.
After engine start, and regardless of the slat position, the center tank pumps run for 2 minutes.
When running, center tank pumps have priority over wing tank pumps. After this delay,
center tank pumps
stop because slats are still extended.
With the slats retracted, the center tank pumps start again.
The A/C is in cruise. We can see the fuel quantity indication on the center tank. When the
center tank fuel has been used, the related pumps stop automatically 5 minutes after the
center tank fuel low level has
been reached. The wing tank pumps supply the engines.
We can see the fuel quantity indication on the wing tank. When the inner cell quantity
decreases to a given value, the transfer valves open automatically and are latched until the
next refueling. The outer cell
fuel flows to the inner cell.
The A/C is ready for landing. When the engines are stopped, the engine identification
numbers become amber.
A cross feed valve is fitted to connect or isolate the left and right sides.
It enables either engine to be fed from any available fuel pump. On the ground, the cross feed
valve enables fuel to be transferred from tank to tank.
PUMP LOGIC
As long as fuel is being delivered from the center tank, the wing tanks
are still full and will tend to overfill, as the returned fuel is delivered to
the wings tanks. In this case the center tank pump stops when the inner
cell reaches the FULL level. The wing tank pumps will operate until
approximately 1100 lbs (500 kg) of fuel have been used i.e.: underfull
sensors reached. The logic circuit then restarts the center tank pump.
Keeping a fuel mass in the wings as long as possible reduces the bending stresses at the wing
roots.
When the center tank fuel has been used, engines are supplied by fuel from the inner cells.
The outer cell fuel flows to the inner cell by gravity through the transfer valves, which open
when the inner cell fuel quantity decreases to a given value.
JET PUMPS
Center tank scavenge jet pumps move fuel and water caught in the tank to the related main
pump inlet. Outer cell scavenge jet pumps move the surge tank fuel to the rear intercell
transfer valves. Check valves, in the line between the surge tank, combined with these jet
pumps, make sure that fuel cannot enter the surge tank via the pump if the main pumps are
off.
SEQUENCE VALVE
The wing tank pumps are equipped with a sequence valve to make sure that the center tank is
emptied first.
CADENSICONS
The cadensicons give a signal to the computer in proportion to the density and the dielectric
constant of the fuel held in each tank.
The aircraft has two multi-channel Fuel Level Sensing Control Units (FLSCUs). They supply
high fuel level sensing, low fuel level sensing, full fuel level sensing, under full fuel level
sensing, and overflow level and temperature sensing. Fuel level and temperature sensors feed
signals to the multi-channel amplifiers. The FLSCUs detect and amplify the signals and
trigger switching functions in the appropriate circuits.
HIGH LEVEL
The high level sensors, when immersed in fuel, command the closure of the associated tank
refuel valve when the MODE SELECT switch is set to the REFUEL position.
Wet high-level sensors cause the associated:
- tank refuel valves to shut,
- blue HIGH LEVEL lights to come on, on the refuel/defuel control panel.
The wet center tank high-level sensor causes fuel transfer from the optional ACT to the center
tank to stop.
LOW LEVEL
The center tank low-level sensors control the automatic transfer of fuel from the center tank
to the wing tanks. When sensors become dry for 5 minutes, the FLSCUs send a close signal
to the related control valve.
4 low-level sensors are used in each wing tank:
- 2 in each wing for 1500 kg (3307 lbs) fuel level, in case of exposure to air for more than 30
s: low fuel level advisory on the memo page,
- 2 in each wing for 750 kg (1653 lbs) fuel level, in case of exposure to air for more than 30 s:
low fuel level warning on the ECAM.
Exposure of the optional ACT low-level sensors causes the fuel FWD transfer to stop.
FULL LEVEL
When the full level is reached in one wing tank, the center transfer valve closes to stop fuel
transfer operation from the center tank to the wing tank until the fuel level in the wing tank
reaches the under full level. The full level sensors monitor the Integrated Drive Generator
(IDG) fuel cooling recirculation.
UNDERFULL LEVEL
When the fuel level in the wing tanks drop to the under full sensors, the center tank transfer
valves are controlled to open for a fuel transfer operation, provided there is fuel in the center
tank. The difference between full and under full level sensors is equal to a fuel quantity of
500 kg (1100 lbs).
OVERFLOW LEVEL
When full level is reached in the wing tank and overflows into the vent surge tank, the
overflow sensor sends a signal to the Engine Interface Unit (EIU) to close the Fuel Return
Valve (FRV).
Hydraulics
With the airplane on the ground and the blue electric pump switch in AUTO; the blue
pump will be energized when:
One engine is running.

There is a discrepancy between the two nose wheel steering handwheel positions
The nose wheel steering computer has finished its self test.
During pushback, you start engine #2. You observe the NW STRG DISC memo has
changed to amber. Why?
The NW STRG disconnect mechanism has failed.
The yellow hydraulic system is now pressurized and the amber caption is a warning not to
move the handwheel
The nose wheel steering is being reconnected by ground personnel. It is amber because the
pin is removed.
The memo has become amber after one engine is started.

forgotten to arm the ground spoilers. Is autobrake activated?
No because spoilers will not deploy if not armed
Yes, provided rejection is performed if a/c speed was above 72 kts.
Yes, but only if Yellow hydraulic pressure is available
Yes, because spoilers will still deploy.
You are ready to taxi. You apply the toe brakes on the rudder pedals and release the
PARK BRK. The BRAKES pressure falls to zero. What should you do?
This should not happen and you must assume that the BRAKES pressure indicator has failed.
Nothing as this is normal. The BRAKES pressure indicator only indicates alternate (yellow)
brake pressure.
You must re-apply the PARK BRK and call for maintenance personnel as the main system
pressure has failed.
The indication is normal because once the AUTO BRK is set to MAX the BRAKES indicator
is by-passed.

Select the correct sequences once you put ENG Master Switch to ON during an automatic start sequence:
1. Fuel used is reset to zero, start valve opens, N2 start rotating, oil pressure rise takes place.
2. Dry Cranking sequence takes place.
3. Ignition A or B comes up, Fuel flow registers and as such EGT rise takes place.
4. At 43 % N2, start valve closes and Ignition is cut-off.
5. At 50% N2, Ignition is cut-off.
A.) 1,3,4
B.) 1,2,3,4
C.) 1,2,3,5
If during AUTO Start on ground, FADEC detects a hot start, hung start or no light up,
