True
Study Notes
Pneumatic System
- Provides hot air for anti-icing of two outboard leading edge slats of each wing
APU
- Located in unpressurized tail cone
- Can be started using aircraft batteries or external power source
- Provides electrical power for aircraft electrical system
- May not be used for wing anti-ice
- APU generator does not require an IDG due to relatively constant operating speed of the APU
- Can be shut down in an emergency by pushing the APU SHUT OFF pb located on the external panel
Hydraulic System
- Green and Yellow systems are each pressurized by an engine driven pump
- Yellow system can be pressurized by an electric pump and a hand pump
- Blue system can be pressurized by an electric pump
- Green and Yellow systems are fully interchangeable
- The bidirectional Power Transfer Unit (PTU) enables the green and yellow systems to pressurize each other manually as soon as a differential pressure is detected
- Normal extension and retraction system is used to extend and retract the landing gear
Electrical System
- Electrical system can be monitored by selecting the ELEC key on the ECAM control panel
- Two engine-driven generators are the secondary source of AC power once the engines are running
- Electrical network is initially supplied by two AC busses
- APU driven generator can also supply power to the electrical network
Landing Gear
- Extension and retraction system is used to extend and retract the landing gear
- Gravity extension is used in case of loss of hydraulics
- Landing gear doors can’t be closed unless all landing gear are locked in their selected position
Safety Features
- Uplock is a safety feature that engages when the landing gear is fully retracted in the fuselage
- Downlock is a safety feature that engages when the landing gear is half extended
- Always be aware of surroundings and avoid walking behind an aircraft with beacon flashing
- Propeller blades and rotor blades are nearly invisible when rotating
Miscellaneous
- Passengers can carry consumer electronic devices containing lithium batteries, considering two spare batteries per person
- Guns without bullets and magazines are not considered dangerous goods
- Perfume not exceeding 2kg or 2L and the net quantity of each single article not exceeding 0.5kg or 0.5L can be accepted as carry-on baggage in the cabin by following special assumptions
- Small gases oxygen or air cylinders required for medical use are accepted as carry-on baggage in the cabin
Test your knowledge of aircraft systems, including pneumatic systems, APU control, and safety protocols.
