Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of a backup in MMEL dispatch condition?

  • To ensure all safety objectives are met during routine flights.
  • To enhance pilot control in any situation.
  • To manage various types of electrical and control failures. (correct)
  • To limit the use of fly-by-wire systems.
  • Which scenario is least likely to require the use of backup systems due to the fly-by-wire architecture?

  • All-engine flameout.
  • Loss of both elevators.
  • Temporary loss of power supply. (correct)
  • Total loss of ailerons and spoilers.
  • What law occurs in case of an electrical emergency configuration?

  • Backup systems are immediately activated.
  • Manual control is automatically engaged.
  • Alternate law remains available for flight operations. (correct)
  • The aircraft switches to gravity feed fuel system.
  • Study Notes

    Backup System Purpose

    • Backup systems are designed to meet safety requirements during critical situations in MMEL dispatch.
    • These systems aim to handle temporary or complete power loss.
    • They account for situations like losing 5 fly-by-wire computers, both elevators, or full aileron and spoiler failure.

    Backup System Reliability

    • The backup system is statistically improbable to be triggered, due to the fly-by-wire design.
    • This is because alternative operational modes are readily available in emergencies, such as electrical failures or engine flameouts.
