TEST A320 SERIES

What are the different types of flight guidance?. Managed and selected. Managed and manual. Automatic and manual. Slaved and managed.

One A/P can be engaged on the ground if the engines are not running. This A/P will disengage when one engine is started. This A/P will disengage when speed is sensed at > 10 kts. This A/P will disengage when both engines are started.

When the thrust levers are moved to the takeoff position, the FMGS updates its position at takeoff using: The navigation database and the takeoff runway entered into the MCDU by the pilot. The VOR/DME currently tuned. IRS/ILS/DME positioning. IRS/DME/DME positioning.

The takeoff bias is: Replaced when a bias is computed based on radio position. Retained for the remainder of the flight. Blended out over the next 30 minutes.

With the DATA selector set to HDG, the time remaining until the completed IRS alignment is displayed on the control display. How long does it take normally?. Approximately 10 minutes. Approximately 7 minutes. Approximately 3 minutes. Approximately 1 minute.

How does the FMGS derive Vapp?. Vapp=Vls+5+1/3 surface headwind component. Vapp=Vls+10+1/3 surface headwind component. Vapp=Vls+5+1/2 surface headwind component. Vapp=Vls+10+1/2 surface headwind component.

When flying at cruise altitude, the aircraft navigates using radio navaids only. True. False.

The IR alignment count down stops one minute prior to accomplishment and the ALIGN lights are flashing. Why does it happen?. It is an indication that alignment has stopped as the present position data has not been entered from the FMGS. It is an indication that the alignment is complete but must be acknowledged. It is an indication that there is a disagreement between the IRs and the alignment must be restarted.

What is managed climb speed below 10,000 feet?. 250 knots. Green dot. 210 knots. Best rate of climb speed.

The selected database date has expired. When must the active data base be changed?. Prior to entering the preflight data. Anytime prior to takeoff. The following calendar day.

Which of the following navaids can be autotuned?. Both are correct. VOR and DME. ILS and ADF (for NDB data base approaches).

Cost Index = 0 (zero) corresponds to: Minimum fuel consumption (max range). Minimum time. Best ratio between the flight time cost and the fuel cost. LRC (Long Range Cruise).

While taxiing on the ground, the FMGS displays the position of the aircraft using: IRS only. IRS and DME/DME. IRS and VOR/DME. DME/DME and VOR/DME.

With the autopilot engaged, either sidestick can be moved freely. False, moving either sidestick will cause the autopilot(s) to disengag. False, only the PNF's sidestick will freely move. True.

When the aircraft is in the Managed Guidance mode, it is: Following lateral, vertical and speed profiles as determined by the FMGS. Following lateral, vertical and speed profiles as determined by the IRS'S. Responding to pilot inputs of speed, altitude, and heading selected on the FCU. Guided by the pilot selecting the specific flight modes and parameter target values on the FCU.

What is managed climb speed above 10,000 feet?. Econ climb speed. 280 knots. 250 knots. Green dot.

An amber box on the MCDU screen indicates: A mandatory data entry. An optional data entry. A compulsory reporting point. The waypoint indicated will be overflown.

When can managed vertical navigation be engaged?. Only after managed speed has been engaged. At anytime regardless of the engagement status of lateral navigation or speed. Only after managed lateral navigation and managed speed have been engaged. Only after managed lateral navigation has been engaged.

Managed guidance is engaged by: Pushing on the desired FCU selector knob. Rotating 90° the desired FCU selector knob. Pulling on the desired FCU selector knob.

What speed will the FMGS use in an Expedite climb?. Green dot speed. ECON climb speed. 250 knots below 10,000 feet. Amber dot speed.

The weather radar image can be displayed on which modes of the ND?. All modes except Plan. Rose NAV or ARC. Rose VOR or Rose ILS. Rose NAV or VOR.

How does the FMGC compute radio position?. IRS, DME/DME. VOR/DME and DME/DME. IRS and VOR/DME. IRS only.

You have been cleared to intercept the localizer. You have pushed the LOC push button on the FCU. If all necessary data has been entered in the MCDU, can you now engage both autopilots?. No, the APPR pushbutton must be pushed. No, the LOC must capture before both autopilots will engage. Yes.

What does pushing the APPR push button do. Arms managed vertical navigation. Allows the aircraft to slow to green dot speed. Arms the Flight Guidance system to capture a localizer and glide slope if the information has been entered into the MCDU. Arms managed navigation.

What does pushing the APPR push button do?. Arms the Flight Guidance system to capture a localizer and glide slope if the information has been entered into the MCDU. Allows the aircraft to slow to green dot speed. Arms managed navigation. Arms managed vertical navigation.

During a turnaround, you notice that ther is a residual ground speed on both NDs. How do you correct this?. It is possible to carry out a rapid alignment by turning off all 3 ADIRS momentarily. There is no corrective action possible until the aircarft is completely electrically shut down. As the engines have been shut down, it is necessary to carry out a full re-alignment.

In flight, either the AP/FD pitch control, or autothrust may acquire and hold a target speed or Mach number, depending on the engaged modes. Speed control is "Managed" when the target comes from the SPD/MACH FCU window. False. True.

The FMGS data base contains: Both are correct. Navigation information, such as navaids, waypoints, airways, airports, runways, etc. Performance information, such as engine fuel flow, engine thrust, green dot data (L/D data), etc.

If one GPS receiver fails, the three ADIRUs automatically select the only operative GPS receiver. True. False.

FMGC 1 is not working. To enter data into the FMGC, which MCDU would you use?. Either MCDU 1 or MCDU 2. MCDU 2 on the First Officer's side. MCDU 1 on the Captain's side.

The pilot interfaces with the FMGS using the: All of the above. MCDU. Thrust Levers. FCU.

When is the SRS active?. Both are correct. At T/O, when TOGA or FLX power is set, SRS is displayed on the FMA and provides guidance up to the acceleration altitude. During a Go Around (after the thrust levers are placed in the TOGA position) up to the acceleration altitude.

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.

Can the crew depress the RMP ON NAV pushbutton and use the RMP for navigation simultaneously with FMGC autotuning?. No, RMP backup tuning supersedes the autotuning function of both FMGC's. Yes, because the opposite FMGC will continue to autotune navaids.
