Test 5

VDmin and Flap Settings

• Increased flap settings cause VDmin to decrease.

Take-off Weight Effect

• Increased take-off weight increases lift-off speed and stalling speed, other factors being equal.

Take-off Distance Factors

• The combination of a tailwind, downslope, and high temperature will most likely increase take-off distance

VLO Definition

• VLO is the maximum speed for landing gear operation.

Factors Increasing Take-off Distance

• Slush on the runway increases take-off distance.

OAT and Takeoff Weight

• Maximum permissible takeoff weight decreases if OAT increases.

Obstacle Clearance After Engine Failure

• There is a 35ft obstacle clearance when accelerating in level flight to greendot after an engine failure.

GPWS Panel Actions for Flaps 3 Landing

• When landing with Flaps 3, switch ON the LDG FLAP 3 switch on the GPWS panel.

Gear Down on Approach

• When the gear is selected down on approach the WHEEL S.D. appears on the LOWER ECAM display

Display of "N.W. STRG DISC"

• The MEMO "N.W. STRG DISC" may appear in amber on the EWD during a pushback with an engine running.

AP/A THR and Bank Angle

• If AP and A/THR is OFF and the bank angle exceeds 45°, the Flight Director and its associated FMAs are no longer displayed.

Automatic Igniter Activation

• Selecting Gear Down automatically activates the igniters on approach.

Passenger Oxygen Supply Duration

• Passenger oxygen supply lasts for 15 minutes after the mask is pulled towards the passenger seat.

Inaccurate Quantity Indication on S.D.

• An amber line through the last two digits of a fuel figure signifies an inaccurate quantity indication.

Hydraulic System Fluid Shutoff Valves

• G and Y hydraulic systems have fluid shutoff valves operated by the engine fire switches to isolate fluid from fire.

ATHR Activation After Take-Off

• The ATHR becomes active after take-off at Acceleration Altitude.

Lights Extinguished During Gear Retraction

• Nose and Turn Off lights go off when the gear is retracted.

Maximum EPR with Park Brake

• The maximum EPR with the park brake ON is 1.18.

Take-off with Unavailable TDZ RVR

• Take-off is not allowed if TDZ RVR is not available but crew assessment is

Emergency Descent Actions on FCU

• Select lower ALT and PULL, HDG knob - turn left or right and PULL, SPEED knob, PULL, MACH / SPEED target adjust to start an emergency descent (structural failure)

Blue Hydraulic System Failure

• If, in flight, with the hydraulic Blue System inoperative (fluid loss), the MAN ON switch (on the EMER ELEC PWR panel) is pressed, the RAT will extend, but the Emergency Generator will not operate.

Initial Actions for GPWS "PULL UP"

• Initial actions for a GPWS alert including "PULL UP" are AP OFF, sidestick hard back, TOGA power

ATC Report Restrictions on Finals

• There is radio silence less than 1nm to touchdown

SFCC 1 Total Failure

• SLATS and FLAPS will operate at half speed in the event of SFCC 1 failure

ECAM Indications

• Primary failures are identified by a star (*) against them on ECAM.

EMER CANC Button Function

• If the EMER CANC button on the ECAM control panel is pressed, EWD Amber Warnings are transferred to the STS S.D.

Actions When RMP 1 Fails

• If RMP 1 fails, switch it off and use RMP 3 or RMP 2.

"VFE NEXT is..." Definition

• "VFE NEXT is... the maximum speed for the present configuration.".

Inner Tank Level Reaches 750 kg

• When the first inner tank level reaches 750 kg, one transfer valve in each wing will open.

Radar Sweeping Outwards on ND

• If the radar on the ND sweeps from the centre outwards, Weather radar is being used to show EGPWS terrain.

Speed Scale in Alternate Law

• Vstall WARNING replaces Alpha protection in Alternate Law. It is possible to stall the aircraft.

SD Displayed During T/O Roll

• The Engine SD is displayed during the T/O roll.

Displaying PFD After Captain's EFIS Failure

• If the Captain's left EFIS has failed, push the button on the Captain's panel (outboard of the EFIS screens).

NAV Accuracy Check

• NAV Accuracy check is carried out by comparing TO WPT information (top right of ND) against "BRG and DIST to" on MCDU PROG page

FADEC

• The FADEC is able to abort a MANUAL START.

Resetting FUEL USED Indication

• The FUEL USED indication (on the SD) is reset to zero when the associated MASTER SW is selected OFF (at any time).

Lowest Minima for CAT II Auto-land

• DH 100 ft & RVR 300 m are the lowest minima for a CAT II Auto-land

Rescue and Firefighting Category for A321

• The rescue and firefighting airport category for the A321 is 7

Crash Axes/Crowbars on Flight Deck

• One crash axe or crowbar is located on the flight deck

Planning Minima for Alternates

• CAT II, III: CAT I minima; CAT I: NPA minima; NPA: minima plus 200ft/1000m; Circling: Circlining minima are the planning minima for alternates

Missed Approach Climb Gradient

• When carrying out a missed approach, if not stated on the chart, the missed approach climb gradient? is 2.50%

Responsibility for Reporting Accidents

• The pilot in command is responsible for notifying the nearest appropriate authority of any accident

Straight-In Non-Precision Approach Angle

• A non-precision approach is considered straight in within 30 degrees of the extended runway centerline

Restrictions for Crew Rest on Flight Deck

• Crew rest should be no longer than 30 minutes and should be terminated at least 45 minutes before TOD

Boundary Layer Between Troposphere/Stratosphere

• Tropopause is the boundary layer between troposphere and stratosphere.

Atmosphere Composition

• 21 % oxygen and 78 % nitrogen is the correct composition of the atmosphere by volume.

Tropopause Height over Equator

• Approximately, the average height of the tropopause over the equator is 16 km

Atmospheric Layer with Most Water Vapor

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

Water Vapor Dependence

• The amount of water vapour which air can hold largely depends on air temperature

Primary Cause of Weather Changes

• Variation of solar energy at the Earths surface is the primary cause of all changes in the Earths weather.
