    Study Notes

    INIT B Page and GW Insertion

    • Access to INIT B page is no longer available
    • The correct GW can be inserted on the T/O performance page

    HDG Presetting and SRS Disengagement

    • To preset a HDG of 233 degrees, turn the HDG knob, set 233 degrees, and pull to engage
    • One of the SRS disengagement conditions is not true: it does not disengage automatically at acceleration altitude

    A/C Control and Guidance

    • Control of the A/C can be automatic or manual
    • Guidance of the A/C can be managed or selected
    • Managed guidance means the FMGC computes and sends steering orders for navigation purposes, while the pilot flies through the sidestick, and speed is adjusted in the FCU window

    Hold and F-PLN

    • A hold has been entered in the F-PLN, speed, and NAV are managed
    • To leave the hold, use the CLR key
    • The hold is not automatically cancelled when overflying the fix

    A/C Position Determination

    • FMGC uses data from DME, VOR, or ILS systems, and 3 ADIRS for A/C position determination

    AP/FD Modes and Engagement

    • The basic modes of the AP/FD are: Pitch and Roll, HDG and VS, ALT and NAV, and SPD and HDG
    • The engagement of both autopilots is possible when the A/C is stabilized at G/S interception altitude

    HDG and PFD

    • HDG can be read on the PFD

    FAC and Alpha Floor Function

    • When the FAC detects a too high angle of attack, the Alpha floor function operates

    Speed and FCU

    • Managed speed, such as V2 or memorized VAPP, is automatically used by the FMGS when the speed is manually inserted by the crew into the FCU and the light is out

    AP/FD Lateral Modes

    • The following AP/FD lateral modes are managed: NAV, HDG, APPR, LOC, RWY, and RWY TRK

    LAND Illumination and Autothrust

    • "LAND" illuminates green on FMA when radio altitude is 700 feet
    • The engagement of the autothrust function is performed automatically upon the second engine start

    Climbs and Descents

    • Climbs and descents are always limited by flight plan (T/C) and (T/D) points

    FMGS Position Update

    • In flight, the FMGS position can be updated using data from the selected NDB, VOR, or DME stations

    ND and VOR Receiver Failure

    • On the ND, in the event of VOR receiver failure, the red VOR flag is displayed, and the course pointer disappears

    FOB and Fuel Quantity

    • FOB (Fuel on Board) half-boxed amber on ECAM FUEL page means one transfer valve fails to open when the inner cell is at low level
    • FOB (Fuel on Board) half-boxed amber on EWD means the fuel quantity indicator is degraded

    Fuel System

    • Fuel is used by the electrical system to cool the IDG oil
    • APU fuel is supplied by either engine fuel pump(s) or APU fuel pump
    • The MODE SEL pb controls the center tank and wing tank pumps

    IDG Cooling Fuel

    • When the outer cells are full, the IDG cooling fuel returns to the engine feeding line

    Probe Heating and Window Heating

    • Probe heating starts automatically when the switch is in AUTO position, not heated on the ground, and heats automatically at lift off
    • Window heating comes on automatically when one engine is started, and operates in high heat after engine start
    • The window heat computer provides two heating levels for the windshield: high level in flight and low level on ground

    Pitot and AOA Heating

    • Pitot heating operates at low level on ground and normal power in flight
    • Electrical heating is provided for the protection of pitot and AOA
    • The engine nacelle is anti-iced by air bleed from high-pressure compressor
