Nothing

"LVR ASYM" will flash on the FMA

The A/THR will disconnect

Question 10

The A/THR can be disconnected in two days, according to the standard disconnection which one is not True?

Push the instinctive disconnect pb on the thrust levers

Push the A/THR pb on the FCU while A/THR is active/armed

Set both thrust levers to IDLE detent

Question 11

The A/THR can be disconnected in two days, according to the non-standard disconnection which one is not True?

The system lose one of the arming conditions

Set both thrust levers to IDLE detent

Push the A/THR pb on the FCU while A/THR is active/armed

Question 12

If the flight crew pushes and holds one instinctive disconnect pb for more than 15, the A/THR system...?

Is disconnected for the reminder of the flight

It disconnect

It stay engaged

You have priority on the thrust levers

Question 13

If the A/THR have been disconnected for the reminder of the flight, which protection is lost?

Angle of Attack

Alpha floor

Stall warning

VLS

Question 14

If the A/THR system have been disconnected for the reminder of the flight, how it can be recover?

Only at next FMGC power-up (on ground)

Push A/THR pb on the FCU then to set thrust levers in CL detent

Set it to IDLE

Press A/THR instinctive pb for more than 15 sec

Question 15

Thrust lock function is activated when the thrust levers are in CL detent (or the MCT detent with one engine out), and?

Flight crew push the A/THR pb on the FCU or A/THR disconnects due to a failure

Set it to IDLE

Press A/THR instinctive pb

Alpha Floor is active

Question 16

How to suppresse the Thust lock function?

By moving the Thrust levers out of CL or MCT

Press A/THR instinctive pb

Question 17

During flight, in CL detent for the two-engine configuration, what happen on your FMA if thrust levers are not set in the CL?

"LVR CLB" flashes white

"LVR ASYM" will flash white

"LVR ASYM" will flash amber

Nothing

Question 18

During flight, in MCT detent for the one-engine-out configuration, what happen on your FMA of the appropriate lever is not set in the MCT?

"LVR CLB" flashes white

"LVR MCT" will flash white

"THR MCT" will flash amber

Nothing

Question 19

If A/THR is armed for takeoff or go-around, the FMA displays "MAN TOGA" (or "MAN FLX") in white to remind the flight crew that?

The thrust levers have been positioned properly

The thrust levers have not been positioned on the good detent

Question 20

The RETARD mode is only available during automatic landing (AP engaged in LAND mode). The A/TJR commande thrust levers to IDLE at approximately?

50 ft RA

40 ft RA

30 ft RA

20 ft RA

Question 21

During manual landing, at which altitude the RETARD mode will generate the callout "RETARD"?

50 ft RA

40 ft RA

30 ft RA

20 ft RA

Question 22

ALPHA FLOOR is a protection that commande TOGA thrust, regardless of thrust levers positions, is that True?

Yes

No, when you have ALPHA FLOOR warning you have to set TOGA Thrust manually

Question 23

ALPHA FLOOR protection is available from?

Lift-off to main gear Touch down

100 ft RA to 50 ft RA on approach

Lift-off to 100 ft RA on approach

Lift-off to 200 ft RA on approach

Question 24

How to know when the aircraft leaves the alpha floor conditions?

"A FLOOR" disapear and you have to take over the thrust setting

"TOGA LK" in green, surrounded by a flashing Amber box on the FMA

To set thrust levers detent info CL or MCT

When you get ALT* on the FMA + speed above alpha prot

Question 25

How to cancel ALPHA FLOOR or TOGA LK thrust?

Setting thrust levers to MCT detent

Setting thrust levers to CL detent

By disconnecting the autothrust

Setting thrust levers out of TOGA detent

Question 26

By selecting a speed below VLS with autothrust ON, does the A/THR allow to follow This speed?

Yes

Question 27

Flying with managed (approach phase is active) with A/THR on, you select FLAPS 1, the autothrust will maintain?

Green dot

VFE next

S speed

VLS

Question 28

Below which height and which CONFIG is the A/THR logic modified to be more responsove to speed variation?

Ones approach phase is active

Below 3200 ft RA with at least CONF 1

Below 2500 ft RA with at least CONF 1

Below 1500 ft RA with at least CONF 2

Below 1000 ft RA with at least CONF 2

Question 29

What is the purpose of the "ground speed mini function"?

Is to take avantage of the aircraft inertia when the Wind conditions vary during the approach

Is to fly faster to reduce the flight cost, depends of the cost index

Question 30

During approach, if the A/THR is active, it will automatically follow the IAS target, ensuring an efficient thrist management during the approach, the A/THR that you can Read on the FMA is?

MACH

SPEED

THRUST
