False
You are sitting in the cockpit of an A320, what is your eye level?
False
Is the bulk compartment pressurized?
False
The A321 tip of the horizontal stabilizer requires the greatest clearance during a turn. Is this also true for the A318, A319, and A320?
False
On the A321, what is your eye level when sitting in the cockpit?
False
Is it possible to fly with the A321 over the North Pole (range is not a problem)?
False
If Engine 1 bleed is inoperative, is it possible to operate pack 1 with engine 2 bleed air?
False
Why is it important to monitor the hot air ducts for leaks?
False
Is it possible to condition the aircraft on ground with packs switched off?
False
After pushing the APU BLEED pushbutton switch, what happens?
False
How would you control the pack flow control valves after each engine start?
False
When making the tightest turn, which method would you use?
Asymmetrical thrust and differential braking.
On the A321, the tip of the horizontal stabilizer requires the greatest clearance during a turn. What is the limiting part on the A318, A319, and A320?
Also the tip of the horizontal stabilizer.
In the cockpit of an A320, what is the eye level?
3.95 m.
Is the bulk compartment pressurized?
Yes.
After pushing the APU BLEED pushbutton switch, what happens?
APU bleed air is distributed to the air conditioning packs.
If Engine 1 bleed is inoperative, is it possible to operate pack 1 with engine 2 bleed air?
Yes, if the cross-bleed valve is open.
Can an A321 fly over the North Pole?
Yes, but only with special emergency equipment.
If Engine 1 bleed is inoperative, is it possible to operate pack 1 with engine 2 bleed air?
Yes, via the fuel x-feed valve.
Why is it important that the hot air ducts are monitored for leaks?
Hot air leaving through leakages can cause damage due to its high temperature.
Is it possible to condition the aircraft on ground with packs switched off?
Yes, on ground conditioned air can be fed into the mixing unit via the LP GND connector.
After pushing the APU BLEED pushbutton switch, what happens?
Answers a., b. and c. are correct.
How would you control the pack flow control valves after each engine start?
The pack flow control valves stay closed for 30 sec.
Is it possible to fly with the A321 over the North Pole (range is not a problem)?
Yes, but only with special emergency equipment.
Why is it important to monitor the hot air ducts for leaks?
Hot air leaving through leakages can cause damage due to its high temperature.
Is it possible to condition the aircraft on ground with packs switched off?
Yes, on ground conditioned air can be fed into the mixing unit via the LP GND connector.
Study Notes
A320 Aircraft Characteristics
- The tip of the horizontal stabilizer requires the greatest clearance during a turn on the A321.
- On the A318, A319, and A320, the wing tip is the limiting part during a turn.
- The eye level in the cockpit of an A320 is 127 inches.
- The bulk compartment is not pressurized.
Aircraft Operation
- It is possible to fly with the A321 over the North Pole, considering range is not a problem.
- If Engine 1 bleed is inoperative, it is possible to operate pack 1 with engine 2 bleed air.
- It is important to monitor the hot air ducts for leaks to prevent damage.
- Conditioning the aircraft on ground with packs switched off is not possible.
- After pushing the APU BLEED pushbutton switch, the air conditioning pack is powered.
- To control the pack flow control valves after each engine start, use the PACK FLOW switch.
- To make the tightest turn, use the method that takes into account the clearance of the horizontal stabilizer on the A321.
