|
When will the FGCS automatically select half-bank? What is the bank angle?
|
FL 250
17 bank angle |
|
|
What is FPA?
|
Flight Path Angle is a pilot-selectable pitch attitude (in degrees) of climb or descent
FGCS adjusts thrust & pitch to maintain path angle and airspeed |
|
|
What does the TOGA button do?
|
On ground: Activates takeoff guidance crossbars
In flight: Activates Go-Around guidance |
|
|
What do the takeoff guidance crossbars do?
|
Maintain extended runway centerline
Maintain pitch guidance according to slat/flap guidance |
|
|
When is the TOGA mode deactivated? 3
|
Another vertical mode is selected
Autopilot is activated TCS button is pressed |
|
|
When will the FD automatically display? 3
|
TOGA button is pressed
Autopilot is activated Windshear detection |
|
|
What is the function of the TCS button?
|
Allows manual override of the autopilot
When released, airplane maintains new altitude (provided ALT was the active vertical mode) but will return to previously lateral mode (except ILS, autopilot will recapture the LOC/GS) |
|
|
What will disengage the autopilot? 9
|
AP button on GP if pushed
Any manual pitch trim is activated Either AP/TRIM DISC button is pushed Stick shaker activated Flight controls in direct mode Aileron or elevator controls disconnected Overpowering of the yoke Windshear Internal system failures |
|
|
Can the yaw damp be deactivated if the autopilot is on?
|
Yes, it is independent of the autopilot
|
|
|
When will the auto-throttles engage on the ground? In Flight?
|
On ground: AT TO (GP) is armed & TLA > 50º
In Flight: AT (GP) is armed & airplane > 400 ft AGL |
|
|
Will the auto-throttles compensate for gusty wind conditions?
|
Yes, up to 5 kts
|
|
|
What will disengage the auto-throttles? 7
|
AT button on GP
AT button on TL After touchdown TLA difference > 8 degrees TL moved beyond TO/GA TR during RTO Internal system failure |
|
|
What is SPDe? What mode uses SPDe?
|
Speed on Elevator. Thrust is fixed and pitch is adjusted to maintain airspeed. FLCH Overspeed
|
|
|
What is SPDt? What modes use SPDt?
|
Speed on Thrust. Thrust is adjusted to maintain selected airspeed FPA VS GS ALT ASEL
|
|
|
What are the AT modes?
|
SPDe
SPDt TO GA HOLD LIM OVRD RETARD (at 30 feet RA) Low Speed Protection Gust compensation |
|
|
What does LIM & OVRD mean on the FMA?
|
LIM: The selected vertical mode requires more or less engine thrust than is available
OVRD: The TL are being manually moved (no AP disengagement) |
|
|
When is CRZ automatically selected?
|
When +/- 100 feet of selected altitude for 90 seconds
Desired airspeed must be achieved or it will remain in CLB mode |
|
|
What does the red AP/TRIM DISC button on the yoke do?
|
Disconnects the autopilot
Stops all trim actuation if button is pushed & held |
|
|
What does the SRC button do?
|
Selects pilot or co-pilot as the data source for the AFCS
|
|
|
What does the PREV button do?
|
Allows the capture of ILS/DC course while still using the FMS as the basic NAV source provided the AUTOTUNE function is enabled on the MCDU and the approach is loaded in the FMS
|
|
|
What does FGCS stand for?
|
Flight Guidance Control System
