Test 1-1

A320/21 Climb Speed

• The best angle climb speed on A320/21 is Green dot.

Flexible Takeoff Thrust

• Flexible takeoff thrust can be reduced by 25% compared to full rated takeoff thrust.

Runway Slope

• An upward runway slope increases the take-off distance required.

Landing Distance Factors

• Increased temperature, increased pressure altitude, and a downhill runway slope all increase the required landing distance.

Takeoff Distance Required

• The takeoff distance required on a dry runway includes reaching 35 ft with all engines operating.
• It is the greater distance of reaching 35 ft with the critical engine having failed at VEF and 115% of the distance to reach 35 ft with all engines operating.

Engine Failure Recognition

• A pilot must continue the take-off in case of an engine failure recognized at or above V1.

One Engine Inoperative Speeds

• With one engine inoperative, the speeds for Standard and Obstacle Strategy are M.78/300kts and Greendot.

Alternate Law Stability

• High and low speed stabilities may be available in alternate law.
• A pilot can override these stabilities, making it possible to exceed Vmo, Mmo, and stall the aircraft.

Brake Accumulator Re-pressurization

• The brake accumulator can be re-pressurized with the yellow electric hydraulic pump.

Brake System Malfunction

• With the A/SKID & N/W STRG switch in the ON position, there is an automatic transition to the alternate brake system if the BSCU detects a brake system malfunction and/or normal braking isn't available.

FAC Control Surface

• The FAC's primarily control the Rudder.

Localizer Interception

• After being cleared to intercept the localizer and pushing the LOC push button on the FCU, as well as entering all necessary data in the MCDU, both autopilots may only be engaged if the APPR pushbutton is pushed.

ECON FLOW Selection

• ECON FLOW ON is selected when the number of passengers is below 140.

Engine Nacelle and Pylon Equipment

• Each engine nacelle and pylon area is equipped with two fire detection loops.

ECAM Page for Oxygen Pressure

• The flight crew can check the exact pressure of the crew oxygen cylinder on the DOORS page of the ECAM.

A321 Temperature Selectors and Zones

• The A321 has three rotary temperature selectors, one each for the cockpit zone, the forward cabin zone, and the aft cabin zone.

BUS TIE Push Button

• If the BUS TIE push button is depressed to 'OFF' during a normal flight, there is no effect on power to the busses.

Single ELAC Failure

• Upon single ELAC failure, the functions of the failed ELAC will be assumed by the remaining ELAC.

Missing Green Thermal Plug

• A missing green thermal plug during an exterior preflight indicates an oxygen system overpressure or thermal discharge.

Autoland FMGC Master

• On an autoland approach with both autopilots on, FMGC 1 is the master.

Elevator Aileron Computers

• Two computers achieve normal and standby control of the elevators, ailerons, and trimmable horizontal stabilizer.

DU Black Screen

• A DMC failure causes a DU to display a black screen with a white diagonal line.

Missing Red APU Thermal Plug

• An APU fire agent thermal discharge occurs when a missing red APU thermal plug is observed during an exterior preflight.

FMGS Position Display

• While taxiing on the ground, the FMGS displays the position of the aircraft using IRS only.

Window Heat Power

• Window heat operates at normal power while airborne.

Passenger Oxygen Generator Duration

• Passenger oxygen generators are able to produce oxygen for approximately 15 minutes.

Cockpit Fire Extinguishers

• There is one (Halon) portable fire extinguisher in the cockpit.

Display Unit Recovery

• After a single DMC failure, a crew member recovers the display units by rotating the EIS DMC switch on the switching panel to replace the failed DMC with DMC #3.

Pressurization System Valves

• With the pressurization system in automatic mode, all valves below the waterline are closed when the ditching push button is selected.

A321 Fuel Capacity

• The total fuel capacity of the A321 is all correct: 18605 kgs, 23302 kgs with 2 ACTs and 20953 kgs with 1 ACT.

Variable Thrust and Speed Mode Difference

• In the fixed thrust mode, thrust is fixed and the elevator controls the speed.

Emergency Electrical Power Operation

• While operating on emergency electrical power (EMER GEN powering the system), depress the guarded RMP NAV push button and tune the appropriate NAV facility and course for the approach to be accomplished before lowering the landing gear.

Autotuned Navaids

• ILS, VOR, and DME navaids can be autotuned.

Cargo Compartment Ventilation

• Only the aft cargo compartment is heated and ventilated, where cabin ambient air is mixed with hot trim air and drawn through isolation valves by extraction fans.

FADEC Alternator Failure

• During flight, with a failed FADEC alternator, the FADEC would now be powered using the ship's power.

GEN 1 LINE Push Button Function

• When selected OFF, generator #1 is removed from all busses but continues to power one fuel pump in each wing.

Brake System

• The normal brake system uses hydraulic pressure.
• The alternate brake system uses hydraulic pressure backed up by the hydraulic brake accumulator.

Brake System Colors

• The normal brake system uses Green, yellow hydraulic pressure and the alternate green, yellow.

Ice Accretion

• Frost gives the longest holdover time for Ice accretion.

FDR Data Retention

• FDRs must keep data and parameters for at least the last 25 hours of operation.

Destination Alternate Aerodrome

• A destination alternate aerodrome must be specified for any IFR flight unless there is reasonable certainty that at the ETA a visual approach can be made.

Aircraft Overshoot in RVSM

• The aircraft can overshoot the target altitude by 150ft during climb in RVSM.

Possibility of Ice Build-Up

• The greatest possibility of ice build-up while flying under icing conditions occurs on the aircraft front areas.

Contaminated Runway

• Consider 25% of the runway surface and 3mm depth of contamination in the case of a contaminated runway.

Runway Available Calculation

• When calculating the length of the runway available (TODA), the clearway has to be taken into account.

Temperature at FL 110

• At FL 140, an OAT of -12° C is measured when the temperature at FL 110 is -6° C, you consider the temperature gradient of the Standard Atmosphere.

Encountering +FZRA

• Icing will most probably occur upon encountering +FZRA during flight.

Atmosphere Composition

• The atmosphere is composed of 21 % oxygen and 78 % nitrogen.

Water Vapour Layer

• The troposphere contains more than 90 per cent of all water vapour.

Sea Level Pressure in ISA

• The pressure at sea level in the ISA is 1013.25 hPa.

Air Warmth and Water Vapour

• As a parcel of air warms, its ability to hold water vapour increases.
