A. Computation and Evaluation of position B. Radio navigation tuning C. Alignment of Inertial Reference System. D. All are correct. In computation of position, FMGS selects the most accurate position, considering the estimated accuracy and integrity of each positioning equipment. True False What is FM Position? Each FMGC computes its own aircraft position. It is from a MIX IRS position and a computed radio position, or It is from a MIX IRS position and a GPS position. The FMGS selects the most accurate position, considering the estimated accuracy and integrity of each positioning equipment. GPS/INERTIAL is the basic navigation mode, provided GPS data is valid and successfully tested. Otherwise, navaids plus inertial or inertial only are used. What is Mix IRS Position? Each FMGC receives a position from each of the three IRSs, and computes a mean-weighted average called the “MIX IRS” position. Mean-weighted average means………….. If one of the IRSs drifts abnormally, the MIX IRS position uses an algorithm that decreases the influence of the drifting IRS within the MIX IRS position. If one of the IRSs fails, each FMGC uses only one IRS (onside IRS or IRS3). Each IRS position and inertial speed are continuously tested. If the test fails, the corresponding IRS is rejected. Navigation modes in the decreasing priority are: GPS/INERTIAL is the basic, provided GPS data is valid and successfully tested. Navaids plus inertial or Inertial only are used. What is GPIRS Position? How many of the GPIRS positions are in the system? Name them. Of the three GPIRS positions that each FMGC receives, the FMS selects one GPIRS position based on a figure of merit and priority. The FMS uses the following hierarchy to perform the selection: ‐ Onside GPIRS position ‐ GPIRS 3 ‐ Opposite GPIRS position. Questions on Chapter 22 Page 39 of 428  A320 TECHNICAL QUESTIONS Auto Flight System For FM1, which is the priority for selecting GPIRS position? 1. GPIRS 1 position 2. GPIRS 2 position. 3.

IRS-GPS, IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME, IRS ONLY In flight, the FM position approaches the radio position or the GPS position at a rate depending upon the aircraft: Altitude Speed Questions on Chapter 22 Page 40 of 428  A320 TECHNICAL QUESTIONS Auto Flight System The FM position update at takeoff is inhibited when GPS PRIMARY is active. True False What is ―Bias‖ as far as FM Position is concerned? Explain Bias. Each FMGC computes a vector from its MIX IRS position to the radio position or GPIRS position. This vector is called the “bias”. Each FMGC updates its bias continuously as long as a radio position or a GPIRS position is available. If an FMGC loses its radio/GPIRS position, it memorizes the bias and uses it to compute the FM position, which equals the MIX IRS position plus the bias. Until the radio or the GPIRS position is restored, the bias does not change. The flight crew can update the FM position manually. This also updates the bias. On which page can you see position computation? GPS MONITOR POSITION MONITOR page. Both are correct. Questions on Chapter 22 Page 41 of 428  A320 TECHNICAL QUESTIONS Auto Flight System The flight crew may check the position computation using the GPS MONITOR or POSITION MONITOR page.

There are 4 main different navigation modes to update the FM position. In decreasing priority they are: IRS-GPS, IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME, IRS ONLY. IRS ONLY, IRS-GPS, IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME. IRS ONLY, IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME, IRS-GPS. IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME, IRS ONLY, IRS-GPS. The FMGS updates the FM position via the use of GPS or radio navaids and it uses a priority rule for FM position update. What is the order of priority for determining FM position? The decreasing order of priority is: IRS-GPS, IRS-VOR/DME IRS-DME/DME, IRS only. IRS-GPS, IRS only, IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME, IRS-GPS, IRS-DME/DME, IRS-VOR/DME, IRS only.

The designated waypoint may be entered by its identifier (if it is stored in the navigation database), or as a pilot defined element, or by a latitude/longitude, place/bearing/distance, a place-bearing/place-bearing, or a place distance (PD) along the F-PLN. Note: If the autopilot or flight director is in the heading/track or localizer mode, the “DIR TO” function engages the NAV mode. When will a time constraint, entered in the F-PLN, be automatically deleted? Entering a holding pattern, or in the event of an engine failure. If either FMGEC fails. When an OPT STEP is inserted. The active F-Plan is erased when The pilot calls the aircraft status page The wheels touch the runway at landing. The aircraft has been on ground for 30 seconds following the landing One engine is shut down on the bay.

Best ratio between the flight time cost and the fuel cost. LRC (Long Range Cruise). The energy circle is a green arc, centered on the aircraft's position and oriented towards the current track line. It is displayed on the NDs during descent, when HDG or TRK mode is selected. True. False. Selection of the correct takeoff runway on the FMGC prior to each flight is necessary because: The FADEC needs it to know how much to reduce the thrust for takeoff. Selection of the correct runway insures proper pressurization. Selection of the correct runway permits the FMGC to update its position at takeoff. For a PROG Page: This page displays navigation information and active data such as the optimum and maximum recommended cruise flight levels. It enables the flight crew to update the FMGS position and to obtain a bearing and distance to any location. This page displays the optimum speed or Mach number for each phase. By this page crew initialize the flight plan, set the departure and arrival airports, and the main flight parameters (for example, cruise FL, Cost Index). With the help of this page, flight crew access to various reference pages that show aircraft position, aircraft status, runways, waypoints, navaids, routes, and data stored by the flight crew.
