Flashcards

Tightest turn method

The tightest achievable turn using asymmetrical thrust and braking.

Turn clearance: A318, A319, A320

On the A321, the tip of the horizontal stabilizer is the limiting factor for turn radius. However, for the A318, A319, and A320, the limiting part is also the tip of the horizontal stabilizer.

A320 Cockpit Eye Level

The eye level in the cockpit of an A320 is 3.95 meters.

Bulk Compartment Pressurization

The bulk compartment of the A320 family is pressurized.

APU BLEED Switch Function

When the APU BLEED switch is pressed, the APU bleed air is distributed to the air conditioning packs, providing cabin and cockpit conditioning

Single-Engine Pack Operation

If Engine 1 bleed is inoperative, it's possible to operate Pack 1 using bleed air from Engine 2 by opening the cross-bleed valve. This allows for a single-engine bleed operation.

A321 Flight over the North Pole

The A321 can fly over the North Pole with special emergency equipment, which allows for safe navigation and operation in extreme conditions.

Engine 1 Bleed Inoperative

If Engine 1 bleed air is unavailable, you can still operate Pack 1 using bleed air from Engine 2. This is achieved via the fuel x-feed valve, which allows the transfer of bleed air between engines.

Hot Air Duct Leak Monitoring

Leaks in the hot air ducts can cause damage due to the high temperature of the air. Continuous monitoring helps identify and fix leaks, preventing potential safety hazards.

Ground Conditioning with Packs Off

The aircraft can be conditioned on the ground with packs switched off. Ground conditioned air can be supplied to the mixing unit through the Low Pressure Ground Connector (LP GND). This helps to cool the cabin and cockpit even when the packs are inactive.

APU BLEED Pushbutton Switch Actions

Pressing the APU BLEED switch initiates the following actions:

  • APU bleed valve opens

  • APU bleed air is supplied

  • Packs are powered by APU bleed air

Pack Flow Control Valve Post-Start Procedure

After each engine start, the pack flow control valves remain closed for 30 seconds. This delay is essential for proper engine operation and stabilization.

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.
