The fire protection system consists of
The flight controls are driven by which hydraulic system?
Green, Blue and Yellow Hydraulic Systems
The roll movement is achieved by which surfaces?
2 Ailerons and 5 spoilers on each wing
A computer arrangement permanently controls and monitors the flight control surfaces. Name the involved computers
3 FCPC, 2 FCSC, 2 SFCC, 2 FCDC
All the flight controll surfaces are electrically controlled and hydraulically operated. Which flight Controlls (actuators) are backed-up with mechanical cables?
- THS (Pitch axis) -> Trimmable horizontal stabilizer
- Rudder (Yaw Axis)
The 3 principal flight control modes are
The purpose of the Manoeuvre Load Alleviation (MLA) function is to reduce the loads applied to the outer wing structure during high g manoeuvre. Explain the function's principle.
The function is achieved by 2 ailerons & 3 external spoilers on each wing. These surfaces are deflected upwards on both wings.
Fill in the missing word within the below shown "fly by wire" philosophy.
Auto Pilot or Pilot command/order - Computed order - ...
Feedback / Aircraft response
What are the main advantages of the "fly by wire" philosophy?
Improvement in redundancy, in handling qualities and thus in performances.
Name the three Flight Laws.
- Normal Law
- Alternate Law
- Direct Law
Name all available Fuel Tanks.
From which Fuel Tank the engine are feeded?
LH & RH Inner Wing Tanks (Collector Cell)
Are the Fuel Tank Pumps interchangeable?
The purpose of the Trim Transfer System is to
control the center of gravity position
There are a number of Magnetic Lever Indicators installed. For what reason?
To determine the physical Aircraft fuel volume in the tanks, if the indication system is inoperative or showing a wrong value.
The aircraft is equipped with three hydraulic systems which are connected to each other. True or False?
False! Green, Blue and Yellow System are fully independent
In normal operation the Hydraulic Systems are powered by Engine Driven Pumps (EDPs). What is the nominal pressure?
3000 psi
Engines are not running and the yellow electrical pump for cargo door opening is not functioning. What can be done?
Cargo door opening with the mechanical hand pump (located at the yellow ground service panel)
Which is the main Hydraulic System?
Green Hydraulic System
The leak measurement valve operation is inhibited during flight
What is a RAT and what is its purpose?
It pressurizes the green hydraulic system in emergency conditions.
The Ice and Rain Protection system permits aircraft operation without restriction in icing conditions or heavy rain. Critical areas of the aircraft are protected by hot air or electrical heating. List 5 systems where hot air or electrical heating is applied.
Slats, Engines, Windows, Windshield Wipers & Rain Repellent System, Static Probes, Pitot Probes, Drain lines, Escape Slide locking mech
The ice detection system sends warning mesages to the flight crew when icing conditions and heavy icing are detected. The ice detectors work according
a vibration frequency shift principle
The slats on the wing's leading edge are protected against ice through the wing anit-ice system. Ice formaiton is prevented by
active heating through telespopic pneumatic tubes with hot air comig from the pneumatic system
The cockpit comprises various panels. List 2 control panels.
OHP (Overhead Panel), Pedestal, Glareshield, Main Instrumental Panel
The Electronic Instrumental System (EIS) comprises
an Electornic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) and an Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring System (ECAM)
The EFIS comprises
The ECAM comprises
What is the purpose of the landing gear shortening mechanism?
It decreases the main landing gear leg length, so that it can go into the main gear bay
