Test 5-1

Landing Distance Factors

• The landing distance needed will increase with higher temperature
• The landing distance needed will increase with higher pressure altitude
• The landing distance needed will increase with a downhill runway slope

Stopway Definition

• A stopway is an area beyond the takeoff runway
• A stopway can support an aircraft during an aborted takeoff

Reduced Takeoff Thrust Benefits

• Reduced takeoff thrust improves engine life

Atmospheric Pressure Impact on Landing

• Increased atmospheric pressure leads to reduced landing distance
• Increased atmospheric pressure leads to improved go-around performance

Flexible Takeoff Thrust Reduction

• Flexible takeoff thrust can be reduced by 25% compared to full rated takeoff thrust

Factors Increasing Takeoff Distance

• Tailwind increases takeoff distance
• Upslope increases takeoff distance
• High temperature increases takeoff distance

VR Minimums

• VR cannot be lower than V1
• VR cannot be lower than 105% of VMCA

Avionics Ventilation During Preflight

• During the exterior preflight on a warm day, the avionics ventilation system INLET and EXTRACT valves should be open

Avionics Smoke Procedure

• If avionics smoke is detected, selecting GEN 1 LINE push button off and deploying the RAT puts the aircraft in Emergency Electrical Configuration

Placing the Blower Push Button to Override

• Placing the BLOWER push button to override de-energizes the blower fan

Aft Cargo Ventilation Control

• Aft cargo ventilation is controlled by the cargo ventilation controller

DMC Information Display

• DMC #1 provides data to PFD#1, ND#1, and upper ECAM
• DMC #2 provides data to PFD#2, ND#2, and lower ECAM

Trim Air Valves

• There are three trim air valves
• One each for the cockpit zone
• One for the forward cabin zone
• One for the aft cabin zone

Engine Anti-Ice Valve Failure

• Upon loss of electrical power, the engine anti-ice valves fail to the open position

APU Fire Extinguishing

• APU provides automatic fire extinguishing only on the ground

FADEC Thrust Setting Requirements

• A FLEX temperature must be entered on the TAKE OFF PERF page of the MCDU for the FADEC to compute a reduced thrust setting

RAT Deployment Conditions

• For hydraulic system malfunctions, the RAT deploys only when the guarded RAT MAN ON push button is selected

Canceling EVAC Alert

• After activation, the EVAC alert can be canceled from the cockpit using the COMMAND switch

V1 Speed Input

• V1 speed is entered by the pilot

Automatic Reset After Landing

• The THS will automatically reset after landing

SRS Command

• SRS commands V2 or current aircraft speed, whichever is higher, if there is an engine failure, with both engines operating it commands V2 + 10

ECAM DU Failure Recovery

• If the lower ECAM DU fails, rotate the EIS DMC switch to replace the failed DMC with DMC #3

Bleed System Pressure Loss

• Pack valves go to the closed position when there is a loss of bleed system pressure

Fuel Transfer Limitations

• Fuel can be transferred from tank to tank only on the ground

Operational Flight Control Computers in Emergency Electrical Power Configuration

• In the Emergency Electrical Power configuration, ELAC 1 and SEC 1 are operational

Ram Air Valve Limitation

• The ram air valve must not be open if cabin pressure is greater than 1 psi

Aileron Droop Confirmation

• Aileron droop can be confirmed by checking the lower ECAM FLT/CTL page

Flashing White IR ALIGN Light

• A flashing white IR ALIGN light indicates an alignment fault may exist

APU Start After Gen #2 Loss

• During a routine flight, after the loss of Gen #2 and subsequent start of the APU, Eng gen #1 continues to power AC bus #1 and downstream systems with the APU powering AC bus #2 and downstream systems

Landing Gear Hydraulic System

• The landing gear system receives pressure from the green hydraulic system

A321 Door and Exit Quantity

• The A321 has four cabin entrances, four overwing emergency exits, and three cargo doors

EXT PWR Push Button Illumination

• With engine #1 just started and the APU inoperative, the illuminated EXT PWR push button blue ON light means Gen #1 supplies AC bus #1 and downstream systems, and external power supplies AC bus #2

Engine Fire Extinguishing

• The guarded red ENG FIRE push button light extinguishes only after the fire warning no longer exists

Upper ECAM DU Failure Display

• If the UPPER ECAM DU fails, the Engines and Warning page (E/WD) will be displayed on the lower unit

FAC Primary Control

• The FAC's primarily controls the rudder

APPR Push Button Function

• Pushing the APPR push button arms the Flight Guidance system to capture a localiser and glide slope

Tip Vortices During Takeoff (No Wind)

• Without wind, the tip vortices created by an airplane at take-off separate on each side of the runway

TODA Calculation Inclusion

• When calculating the length of the runway available (TODA), the clearway has to be taken into account

Circling Approach Stabilization

• During a circling approach, wings must be level on final when the aircraft reaches 300 feet above airport elevation

ICAO Aircraft Approach Category

• An aircraft with a threshold speed of 135 knots is designated as Category C under ICAO

Accident Notification Responsibility

• The pilot in command is responsible for notifying the nearest appropriate authority of any accident involving an aeroplane resulting in serious injury, death, or substantial damage

Holding Pattern Sectors

• There are three sectors in a holding pattern

Refueling with Pax Onboard

• When refueling while passengers are boarding/disembarking, communication must be maintained between ground and qualified personnel on board

Air Temperature and Water Vapor

• As a parcel of air warms, its ability to hold water vapour increases

CAVOK Meaning

• CAVOK means visibility more than 10km, no CB or other cloud forecast below 5000ft or below the highest MSA whichever is greater, and no significant weather forecast

Mid-Latitude Convective Activity

• Convective activity over land in mid-latitudes is greatest in summer during the afternoon

Tropopause Level Variation

• The level of the tropopause decreases from South to North in the Northern Hemisphere

Air Temperature and Water Vapor Capacity

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

Encountering +FZRA in Flight

• If encountering +FZRA during flight, icing will most probably occur
