Yaw control:
In CMD, the AP controls the rudder only when the slats are extended. In straight flight, the AP commands
the rudder deflection to obtain and maintain a zero aileron deflection.
At slats retraction, the rudder is smoothly returned to neutral (in 10 sec, then the AP yaw actuators
declutches).
In case of engine failure, with SRS or GO AROUND mode engaged, the yaw damper immediately reacts to
compensate the lateral asymmetry. The AP yaw actuator takes over to achieve a zero aileron deflection. If
the engine failure occurs with AP engaged (the rudder trim is normally set at 0), the AP stabilizes the aircraft
with rudder. At slat retraction, the crew must maintain the rudder deflection and trim the aircraft manually
with the rudder trim. AOM 1.3P29

governed to a constant speed by variation of fuel flow which is controlled by the fuel control unit (FCU)
and the electric control box (ECB).
- The load compressor has a single-stage centrifugal compressor directly driven by the power section
and delivers bleed air to the aircraft pneumatic system, controlled by modulating Inlet Guide Vanes
(IGV).

b. To ensure sufficient air bleed from the APU to the pneumatic system and maintain an adequate surge
margin
c. To control the APU exhaust gas
d. To control that APU RPM increases during engine start and anti-ice operation Ans. b
APU BLEED AIR SYSTEM
The bleed air, delivered by the APU load compressor, is ducted to the aircraft pneumatic system via the
APU bleed valve which can be controlled by the APU bleed switch on the overhead panel if the APU is
running more 95% RPM. A surge valve, installed between the compressor and the APU load control valve,
ensures that sufficient air is diverted from the load compressor to maintain an adequate surge margin.
When no bleed air is required (APU bleed valve closed), the air is route via the surge valve to the APU
exhaust. If bleed air is required, the surge valve is closed or modulates depending on the bleed demand.
For extension bleed air demand during engine start and anti-ice operation, the APU RPM is increase. AOM 1.4P2

The flight controls are divided into two groups:


- Primary flight controls consisting of elevators, ailerons, roll spoilers, rudder and trimmable horizontal
stabilizer.
- Secondary flight controls consisting of flaps, slats, Kruger flaps, notch flaps, speed brakes and ground
spoilers.
All control surfaces are actuated by hydraulic servo control actuator, which are controlled by mechanical
linkages except for the lift damper surfaces (spoilers and speed brakes), yaw and roll trims, flaps and slats
which are electrically controlled. AOM1.9/1P1

127. After a go around, if you retract slat/flap handle to 0/0 degree while A/C is maintaining high pitch attitude
(Angle of attack more than 7.5O), What will occur?
a. Slats / Flaps will remain at go around flaps
b. Flaps will retract to 0 degree, while slats will retract to 15 degrees
c. Slats / flaps will retract to 15 degrees
d. Slats / flaps will retract to 0 degree Ans. b
When aircraft angle of attack is greater than 7.5O, retraction of slats below 15O is inhibited. This function is
called α - lock. If the slat/flap control lever is move to 0 O, slats will be retracted and stop at 15O and the
Kruger flaps, Notch flaps, and Aileron droop remain extended until the angle of attack is reduced to below
7.5O where the α - lock function is no more valid. The slats will then follow the command of the handle to
0O. The α - lock function is not activate when speed less than 60 Kt. AOM1.9/2P2

a. Roll spoilers are able to operate as speedbrake only
b. Roll spoilers operate normal
c. Roll spoilers are not available
d. Roll spoilers operate but with downgraded operation Ans. d
AILERONS
The control input is transmitted to the ailerons by dual cable runs providing fail-safe operation. In each wing,
the input is transmitted to a differential unit receiving additional inputs from:
- Artificial feel unit
- Aileron droop signal
- Trim srewjack
In case of jamming of one control cable, the interconnected spring can be overcome to permit control of the
other wing. Spoiler control in this case is still available but downgrade.
Roll spoiler control is degraded, so that:
- If Crew member (CM1) control run jams, CM2 controls roll spoilers 4 and 6.
- If CM2 control run jams, CM1 controls roll spoilers 3, 5 and 7. AOM1.9/3P1

136. Which statement is not a correct procedure for trimming the rudder in flight?
a. Ensure thrust setting is symmetrical
b. Trimming the rudder can be done when the aircraft maintains cruising level with ALT hold mode or
PROF mode
c. Trimming the rudder can be done while autopilot is engaged
d. Trimming the rudder until control column deflection is zero Ans. b
TRIM PROCEDURE
The minimum drag for cruise flight is obtained when the control wheel is neutral. This condition is obtained
by the following procedure:
- Ensure symmetrical thrust. Disengage auto thrust if required.
- Ensure symmetrical fuel loading.

- With autopilot engaged in ALT hold mode, note the direction of control column’s lateral deflection. Trim
the rudder in the direction of the deflection until the control column is centered. Rudder trim between
1.5O L and 1.5O R is typical normal range. Any deflection in the control column will cause the roll spoilers
to raise thus increasing drag.

- Verify that the bank angle is not too large for passengers comfort (1.5O appears to be reasonable value)
- Check again the lateral trim conditions and retrims of necessary when there is a noticeable change in
flight conditions. AOM VOL 2

Before commencing the approach, disconnect A/THR and select GPWS to FLAP OVRD
Early gear extension will aid in speed stabilization.
Speed stabilization in level flight is a must before starting the final approach, using a normal glide path angle
maintaining green dot speed. Deceleration will be slow and acceleration rapid. At approximately 200-ft
retard the throttles so as to reduce approach speed by 15 kt at touchdown.
Over the threshold, retard the throttles to idle and use a slight flare (elevator effectiveness is very high). Fly
onto the runway aiming at VA-15 kt touchdown speed at aiming point and lower the nose wheel without
delay. Use reverse thrust immediately and maximum braking, if required. AOM3.3/7P6

b. Select both pitch feel systems to OFF before reducing speed
c. The use of ATS is not recommend
d. Extend slats, flaps and gears as normal Ans. a
LANDING WITH JAMMED OR INOPERATIVE STABILIZER
If stabilizer becomes inoperative during flight, high sink rates body angles must be avoided particularity
during approach and landing. Improper techniques could result in insufficient elevator control if large
changes in pitch are required at low airspeed. Control of descent and pitch must be accomplished by
coordinated use of thrust and elevator. The use of ATS is not recommended.
Trimmed speed should be kept as long as possible before starting initial approach.
Before reducing speed, switch off both Pitch Feel systems.

a. Uncoupled when aircraft is stationary
b. Locked during aircraft is taxiing and speed below 30 Kt
c. Uncoupled when aircraft speed is above 195 Kt
d. Locked when aircraft speed is between 30 and 195 Kt Ans. b
PITCH UNCOUPLING UNIT
The unit consists of a locking rod and a solenoid. It prevents accidental asymmetrical deflection of the
elevators during flight (left and right controls connected together) and allows uncoupling of the RH and LH
control systems during takeoff.

a. Pitch feel system is connected to the left control linkage only
b. When both Pitch feel switches are selected to OFF, that system actuators will retract to low speed
configuration
c. Both Pitch feel switches are selected ON, only one system is active
d. All above Ans. d
ATRIFICIAL FEEL UNIT
The elevator artificial feel unit is connected to the left control linkage only and will be provided by the
associated action of:
- A double action spring loaded rod.
- A torsion bar driven by a variable gain mechanism which generates a variable stiffness in the control.
The variable gain mechanism is actuated by either of the two electrohydraulic actuators. Each actuator is
controlled by an independent pitch feel channel, each one is included in a Feel and Limitation Computer
(FLC). The artificial feel unit provides increasing pitch control feel above 125 Kt. Below 125 Kt, the artificial
feel unit is a constant spring force.
The stiffness of the pitch feel varies with airspeed, mach number and stabilizer position. In case of failure of
the both control systems, the mechanism returns to the low speed configuration. AOM1.9/6P1

c. Flaps 15 and altitude above 3000 ft
d. Flaps 20 and altitude above 3000 ft Ans. c
ELEVATOR JAM or HIGH PITCH FORCE procedure
For approach, normal slats and flaps configuration applies. However, flaps should be selected 15 above
3000 ft, when slats 15 / S-speed is established.
AOM VOL 2
During approach Flaps 15 must be selected above 3000 ft, since this initial flap extension requires rapid
trim adjustment and may lead to slight deviation from the flight path. EM Checklist

c. Both pitch trim levers trip to OFF
d. Electric and automatic pitch trim commands can be override by pitch trim control wheel any time
without any effects to the pitch trim system Ans. c
Electric and automatic pitch trim commands can be overridden manually using the pitch trim controls wheel.
Overriding the electric trim and Auto-trim by using the pitch trim control wheel results in the automatic
disengagement of both pitch trim systems. Both PITCH TRIM levers trip to OFF
Each electric trim rocking lever actuates two switches. If switches provide contradictory orders, both pitch
trim systems disengage
Pitch Trim lever can be engaged if;
- Power supply is available,
- Associated FAC is operative,
- Associated ADC is operative, if flaps are retracted,
- Associated THS motor is operative.
For in-flight re-engagement, in addition to the above conditions and if slats are retracted, at least two angle-

CENTER OF GRAVITY CONTROL SYSTEM


To maintain the CG target, fuel is transferred aft from the center or inner tanks to the trim tank, or forward
from the trim tank to the center tank.
Aft transfer is controlled by the CGCC, forward transfer is controlled by the CGCC or manually selected on
the fuel panel.
The CGCC has 3 main functions:
- Computing the aircraft CG and gross weight (GW) which are displayed on the ECAM,
- Monitoring the aircraft CG and maintaining the CG target,
- Controlling fuel transfer to and from the trim tank in order to maintain the CG target.
The CGCC is active when:
- The TRIM TK MODE P/B is at AUTO.
- At least one TRIM TK PUMP pushbutton switch is selected ON. AOM1.10P4
162. Which statement is not true, regarding the CGCC in normal mode? (600R)
a. TRIM TK ISOL valve automatically opens when A/C is above FL 205
b. Fuel automatically transfers forward and aft when A/C is above FL 205
c. CGCC initiates a fast forward transfer when A/C is descending below FL 205
d. CGCC maintains the CG 0.5% forward of the CG target. Ans. a
For CG control, the calculated CG target will be used under the following conditions:
- When the slats are retracted after takeoff, the TRIM TK ISOL valve automatically opens to allow fuel
transfer to and from the trim tank.
- In climb below FL 205, forward transfer occurs if the CG moves beyond the aft target due to fuel burn.
- Above FL 205, automatic forward and aft transfers are controlled by CGCC. The CG is maintained
0.5% forward of the CG target. If the CG moves aft of the target by more than 0.1%, a fast FWD is
initiated until CG is 0.5% forward of the target. Then CG control is remained.
- In descent crossing FL 205, the CGCC initiates a fast forward transfer in order to empty the trim tank. If
the forward CG limit is reached or the center tank is full, forward transfer is suspended. AOM1.10P5
163. How do you know that the CGCC is now entering the alternate mode? (600R)
a. Fuel will fast forward transfer form trim tank to center tank until trim tank is depleted
b. By ECAM message “TRIM TANK AFT XFR NOT AVAIL”
c. By ECAM message “TRIM TK SYS FAULT”
d. It is an internal failure and the system will not inform the crew Ans. b
ALTERNATE MODE
A discrepancy between the command and monitor channels in the CGCC will indicate partial failure of the
system and will switch the CGCC to enter the alternate mode, which only controls on forward transfer to
ensure that the CG is maintained within safe limit and that CTR tank is not overfilled.
Note:
- Fuel is automatically transferred forward from the trim tank in steps. No crew action is required.
- The message “TRIM TANK AFT XFR NOT AVAIL” is displayed on the left ECAM CTR. AOM1.10P5

164. What is not a condition that caused the CGCC to shifted the control target from 0.5% forward of the CG
target to 1.5% more forward? (600R)
a. Manual FWD transfer in flight continuously more than 10 sec
b. The accuracy of FQI data is degraded
c. When ECAM message “EXCESS AFT CG“ is displayed on ECAM
d. AFT CG reaches 37.8% MAC for the first time Ans. c
The calculated CG target is shifted 1.5% more forward if:
- MANUAL FWD transfer in flight is more than 10 sec., or
- The accuracy of FQI data is degraded.
If the AFT CG target reaches 37.8% MAC, the FWC will send a signal to the CGCC then the CG target will
be automatically shifted forward 1.5% MAC by a normal forward transfer. AOM1.10P6
165. When will the message “CG TARGET SHIFTED FWD” be displayed? (600R)
a. After manually FWD transfer in flight more than 10 sec
b. When the CGCC shifted CG target forward to 1.5% MAC
c. When the CGCC shifted CG target forward to 2.3% MAC
d. When the AFT CG reaches 38.8% MAC Ans. c
In case of undetected failure of CGCC, an aft CG limit monitoring is provided. The calculation is
independent of the CGCC by considering the position of the stabilizer and airspeed.
If the AFT CG reaches 37.8% MAC, the FWC will send a signal to the CGCC then the CG target will be
automatically shifted forward 1.5% MAC by a normal forward transfer.
During flight, if the AFT CG is detected again (the second time), the FWC will send a signal to the CGCC
then the CG target will be automatically shifted forward further 2.3% MAC by a fast forward transfer, and
ECAM status will display “CG TARGET SHIFTED FWD”.
If the AFT CG reaches 38.8% MAC, “EXCESS AFT CG” is displayed, and the flight crew must follow the
EXCESS AFT CG procedure. AOM1.10P6
166. After fuel is transferred forward to CTR TANK, the CGCC controls the CTR tank fuel quantity to be between
500 – 1700 kg until the trim tank is empty. (600R)

Wing anti-ice
Wing anti-ice may be used either to prevent ice formation or to remove an ice accumulation from the wing
leading edges.
Wing anti-ice supply should be selected ON whenever there is an indication that airframe icing exists. This
can be evidenced by ice accumulation around the flight deck windows or on the flight deck windshield
wipers.
Wing anti-ice supply by the APU is possible up to 15000 ft, providing one air conditioning pack only is used
In case of suspected significant ice accumulation on non de-iced parts, increase the minimum approach
speed by 5 kt and multiply landing distance by 1.1

DIGITAL FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (DFDR)


The DFDR is an electric component consisting of the circuitry for the recording and the recording medium,
which is a solid state memory, enclosed in a crash and fireproof container.
The recording can hold information for approx. 25 flight hours (50 hours for HS-TAT – Z). After that, the
oldest data is erased and new data entered on a freed part. This process is continuous which means that
the memory holds data from the last 25 flight hours.

AOM1.13/6P1

May be inoperative provided the flight deck voice recorder is operative.
CVR (repair interval CAT A) AOM VOL 2
May be inoperative provided the flight recorder is operative. 3.1/1P62
200. What is the primary source of vertical speed indicator ?
a. ADC
b. IRS
c. Capt. and F/O static system

d. Both A&C Ans. b


The primary source of Vertical speed (V/S) indication is the IRS. An automatic switch over to ADC occurs
when an anomaly is detected on the Inertial Vertical Speed (IVS).
In normal operation, the VSI repeats the IVS data provided by the IRS. However, the IRS inputs are filtered
by a barometric information for the stabilization of V/S indication.
If IRS input is lost, the VSI will continuously operate on ADC only (the indicated vertical speed then has a
time lag).
If ADC data is lost, the VSI will operate on IRS data for only 30 seconds. AOM1.13/3P1

a. Main gear shock strut not fully extended
b. Bogie beam displaced from neutral position
c. Landing gear door not open
d. Nose gear not centered Ans. c
LANDING GEAR OPERATION
Normal retraction and extension is electrically controlled by signals from the landing gear control lever on
the center instrument penal. The gear is normally powered by GREEN hydraulic system.
The retraction and extension cycles are hydro mechanically sequenced.
The gear lever has a neutral position between UP and DOWN. When the lever is set in this position,
hydraulic pressure is removed from the system. This is the normal flight operation.
An internal interlock prevents selection of gear UP under any one of the following circumstances:
- Main gear shock strut not fully extended
- Bogie beam displaced from neutral position
- Nose gear not centered
The interlock system is duplicated for safety reasons and if one system is unserviceable, the other may be

GRAVITY EXTENSION
The gear may be extended mechanically by using a hand crank in the cockpit if the normal extension is not
available due to loss of GREEN hydraulic pressure or electrical supply.
GREEN pressure line is isolated and the gear actuators are connected to the return lines. Door up locks
released and doors open. The gears then fall down by gravity and down locked by aerodynamic force for
nose gear and spring force for main gears. The doors remain open. AOM1.14P2
205. Which statement is true regarding the nose wheel steering system?

a. Rudder pedals can steer the A/C up to 65O


b. Moving the rudder pedals will drive the nose wheel steering handle
c. Rudder pedals have priority over nose wheel steering handle

d. If towing pin is inserted in the nose gear interphone box, the maximum nose gear steering angle is ±
65O Ans. b
NOSE WHEEL STEERING
Hydraulic pressure is available for the nose wheel steering via an electro valve if the following conditions are
met:
- Landing gears are down locked.
- Nose and main L/D gear shock absorbers are compressed.
Steering is controlled by either:

- Each handle on each side console (LH and RH), which permits nose wheel deflections up to 65O in
either direction and is intended for steering at low speed only,

- Rudder pedals for steering at high speed. The nose wheel deflection is limited to 6O in either direction.
The rudder pedals are mechanically linked to the steering control linkages in such a manner that moving
the pedals will drive the steering handle but the handle will not move the pedals.
The steering actuators also act as shimmy dampers.
A towing lever on the nose gear interphone box is secured with a pin in the towing position, cutting off
hydraulic power. The lever automatically returns to normal operating position when the towing pin is
removed. When towing, the maximum nose gear steering angle is ± 95O. AOM1.14P2,3
206. What is the maximum taxi speed during taxing in a straight line?
a. 15 kt
b. 20 kt

The normal taxi speed shall not exceed 30 kt.
When taxi speed trends to over 30kt at idle thrust, smoothly apply the brakes to slowdown the aircraft to
approx. 10 – 20 kt then release the brakes smoothly. This will cause less brake wear. AOM VOL 2

b. BRK – A/SKID switch position in ALTN / ON, the YELLOW pressure is used with YELLOW
accumulator pressure is backup
c. The parking brake uses YELLOW accumulator pressure only
d. The YELLOW accumulator is standing by for all modes of braking system Ans. c
There are four braking modes:
- Normal braking uses GREEN hydraulic pressure and includes an anti-skid system. It is electrically
controlled. The BRK – A/SKID switch is in NORM / ON position.
- Alternate braking with anti-skid uses YELLOW pressure. It is hydraulic controlled. The BRK – A/SKID
switch is in ALTN / ON position. If the BRK – A/SKID switch is in NORM / ON position and GREEN
pressure is not available or drops during braking, this mode is automatically selected.
- Alternate braking without anti-skid uses the same hydraulic lines as the alternate system. It is
automatically selected if both GREEN and YELLOW hydraulic system fail, or if the BRK – A/SKID
switch is moved to ALT / OFF. In the first case, power is supplied by two accumulators in the YELLOW
system which are charged by an electric pump and which contain sufficient fluid for seven full brake
applications. In the second case, normal YELLOW system pressure is utilized, backed up by the
accumulators. The anti-skid protection is not available.
- The parking brake uses YELLOW hydraulic pressure or YELLOW accumulator pressure. AOM1.14P3

227. What is the recommended tilt angle of weather radar during takeoff?

a. 4O up
b. 4O - 7O up
c. 5O up

d. 3O - 5O up Ans. b
For departure with weather along the departure route, scan the departure area during taxi-out or initial
runway alignment for the smoothest track. Set the range to 15 – 30 nm and the tilt to about 4O - 7O up to give
the best picture of the departure weather with minimum ground clutter. If the level off is required shortly after
takeoff, lower tilt to about 3O - 5O up or until ground clutter interferes with the picture clarity.
When aircraft is cleared up and on initial climb, extend the range to 30 – 60 and set the tilt to 3O - 5O up.
When on the normal climb speed schedule between 10000-20000 ft, set the range to 60 – 120 and the tilt to
2O - 3O up. As the aircraft climbs to cruising altitude, the range and tilt can be adjusted for best reception of
interested targets.
For medium altitude cruise (around 20000 ft), the tilt will normally be about 0O and varied according to range
selected to show traces of ground clutter in the top of the picture.
For descents, use normal cruise procedures. If there is extensive weather in the area, check the different
ranges. Below 10000 ft, use 2O - 3O up-tilt for targets out of 40 miles. This will eliminate tilt adjustment during AOM Bulletin
approach. If there is extensive weather in the terminal area, adjust the tilt control to pick up light ground
clutter on the top of the screen, so no cells will go undetected. No. 25
228. Conditions: You found the weather cell when radar tilted 4O down and 50 nm ahead, and the cell
disappeared when adjust the tilt angle up to 2O down.
What is the clearance between aircraft and the top of the cell?
a. 5000 ft
b. 8000 ft
c. 10000 ft
d. 12000 ft Ans. c
For normal cruise altitudes, it will be difficult to detect cells lower than the cruise altitude inside of the 40
miles range due to ground clutter, particularly over land. For this reason, diversion tactics should be initiated
at least 40 miles from the target cell. Low level targets will not visible beyond the line of sight due to the
earth’s curvature. To determine the clearance between the aircraft and the top of the cell, slowly tilt the
antenna up until the target return disappears. The clearance in feet will be 100 times the distance to the cell
times the degrees the antenna is tilted down, i.e., a 55 mile target is lost at 2O down. Clearance will be (100) AOM Bulletin

It is important that pilots follow all RA’s even when there is:
- An opposite avoiding instruction by the controller
If the RA is not followed, it can adversely affect safety when the other aircraft responds to a
coordinated RA.
- Conflict close to the top of the operating envelop
If a “Climb” RA is generated, it may be possible to climb at least a little but do not descent, opposite to
the RA.
- Traffic information from the controller
The slower update rate of the radar display means that the vertical situation seen by the controller may
be inaccurate, particularly when aircraft are rapidly climbing or descending.
- Visual acquisition
The wrong aircraft could be identified and the situation may be wrongly assessed.

242. The required navigation accuracy on the FMS PROG page can be manually modified.
a. True
b. False Ans. a
Estimated Position Error
The EPE is a value, which represents an estimation of the FMS position accuracy. The EPE depends on the
current navigation mode. It is permanently computed by the FMS.
- When in pure Inertial navigation mode, the EPE increases continuously according to the IRS drift
model.
- When in Radio / Inertial navigation mode, the FMS computes an EPE which represents the achievable
accuracy according to the radio beacons which are tuned.
- If the aircraft position is invalid, either in flight or on the ground, the EPE is set at 17 N.M.
EPE initialization
- At power up, the EPE is initialized at 17 N.M.
- After IRS alignment, manual update on the ground or takeoff update, the EPE is set to 0.28 N.M.
- After a manual update in flight, the EPE is set to 4 N.M.
Required navigation accuracy
Depending on the flight area over flown (en route, terminal or approach), the FMS computes a default value
the required navigation accuracy. This value can be manually modified.

EPR
The primary parameter for engine thrust control is the actual Engine Pressure Ratio (EPR). It is the ratio of
turbine discharge total pressure (PT4.95) to fan inlet total pressure (PT2).
There are two PT 4.95 probes that sense PT 4.95 at two different locations. They join together to give
average pressure. AOM1.17PW
At the fan inlet, a combine PT2/TT2 probe measures the fan inlet total pressure (PT2). P7
260. Which signal is used to control Variable Bypass Valve (VBV) and Variable Stator Vane (VSV)? (GE)
a. Electrical signal from Mean Engine Control (MEC)
b. Fuel pressure from MEC
c. Hydraulic pressure from GREEN hydraulic system
d. Electrical signal from FADEC Ans. b
VARIABLE BYPASS VALVE AND VARIABLE STATOR VANE
Twelve Variable Bypass Valves (VBV) bypass part of primary airflow before entering high pressure
compressor into the fan stream to achieve correct airflow matching between the low and high pressure
compressors and reduce possibility of engines stall at all phases of engine operation. The VBV’s are
operated by two hydraulic actuators controlled by fuel pressure from the MEC.
The inlet guide vane and first five stages of HP compressor stator vanes are variable (VSV). They control
airflow through the HP compressor performance and good stall margin over the whole operating range. The AOM1.17GE
VSV are operated by two hydraulic actuators through levers and linkages. The actuators are controlled by
fuel pressure from MEC. P4
261. What is the main purpose of Power Management Control (PMC)? (GE)
a. To trims (downward only) the fuel flow
b. To control most of the fuel flow
c. To measure the mass fuel flow and displays on FF/FU indicator
d. To distribute fuel to fuel nozzles in combustion chamber Ans. a
MAIN ENGINE CONTROL (MEC)
The MEC is a hydromechanical system. It provides for complete basic operation of the engine and controls
most of the fuel flow.
POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROL (PMC)
The PMC is an electronic system. It controls more finely than MEC, a little part of the fuel flow.
Via a torque motor, it trims (downward only) the fuel flow so that when it is operating, the max T/O and the
max CL N1 are obtained for fixed position of the throttle lever, despite changes in flight or environmental
conditions.
AOM1.17GE
The authority band allocated for down trim is sufficiently wide to accommodate all environmental conditions,
but is limited to minimize thrust change under failure conditions. P2

PW 4158 engine is controlled solely by an electronic unit called FADEC with no mechanical linkage between
the engine and throttle lever in the flight deck.
The FADEC, mounted at the fan case, consists of two independent control channels A and B. Each channel
has its own inputs, outputs and power supply, but the data is crosstalked between the two channels for
comparison and redundancy.
The electronic circuits of both channels are supplied by a dedicated dual-output Permanent Magnet
ALTERNATOR (PMA) mounted on the accessory gearbox. In addition, 28 V DC aircraft electrical power
also supplies to both channels to power various solenoids and FADEC for ground test purpose.
AOM1.17PW
FADEC is able to work without any aircraft system. It does not require electrical supply from aircraft network.
Only throttle position is needed to modulate the thrust. P7-8

The pumped oil then supplies the four engine bearings and the accessory gearboxes. After passing through
all lubricated component, the oil is pumped back to the reservoir by five scavenge pumps through filters and
a magnetic chip detectors installed upstream of each pump. The scavenged oil then passes through master
magnetic chip detector, the scavenge filter and the fuel/oil heat exchanger. The scavenge filter is bypassed
when differential pressure reaches 40 psi (bypassed when the differential pressure reaches 85 psi)
An oil clog warning is triggered when the pressure drop across the filter reaches 31 PSI

AOM1.17GE
P3
From oil tank, a single stage oil pressure pump supplies oil through oil main filter. If the pressure drop
across the filter exceeds 50 psi, the oil clog warning is activated. The oil bypasses the filter if pressure drop
exceeds 90 psi.
The oil is then passes through an air/oil cooler and through a fuel/oil heat exchanger. Pressure tapping at
fuel/oil heat exchanger outlet is used to detect high or low oil pressure conditions. Acceptable limits for high
oil temperature are between 163 and 177O C for less than 20 min, or 177O C in transient conditions. Limit of AOM1.17PW

(below 14200 ft)? (PW)
a. Disconnect the auto throttle and adjust the throttle manually until both EPR is equivalent then
reengage the auto throttle
b. Disconnect the auto throttle and reduce thrust manually then reengage the auto throttle
c. Advancing both throttles by at least 2 degrees then releasing them
d. Reducing both throttles by at least 2 degrees then releasing them Ans. c
For PW engines, a difference in EPR between the two engines may be observed during climb up to
approximately 14200 ft. This difference has a negligible effect on the aircraft handling. However, the EPR
difference may be corrected by advancing both throttle levers by at least 2 degrees and then releasing AOM VOL 2
them, returning the thrust control to the A/THR. This action is sufficient to ensure that both FADEC have
switched over from takeoff phase to the flight phase and, thus, provide consistent EPR CMD computations. 3.2/3 P1

After initial recovery:
Maintain the speed close to the stick shaker speed until it is safe to accelerate (closely monitor both the
speed and the speed trend arrow)
Bank angle…………………………………………………….Wing levels
Speed brakes…………………………………………………Check retracted
In clean configuration and below 20000 ft:
Slats……………………………………………………………Extend
When out of stall and if no threat of ground contact:

294. What is the correct procedure of the upset recovery from the A/C nose high attitude and high bank angle?
a. Apply nose down elevator simultaneously with roll wing to level
b. Apply nose down elevator until approaches the horizontal attitude and then roll wing to level
c. Apply full thrust first in order to recovery the speed
d. Roll wing to level then apply nose down elevator Ans. b
Recovery from nose high, high bank angle:
Pilots must apply nose down elevator but maintain bank angle in order to quickly reduce pitch attitude. As
the nose approaches the horizon, bank angle should be reduced to zero and pitch attitude adjusted to
recover normal airspeed. AOM VOL 2
By the other hand: PITCH and THRUST then BANK. 3.3/10 P5
295. What is the correct procedure of the upset recovery from the A/C nose down attitude and high bank angle?
a. Apply nose up elevator simultaneously with roll wing to level
b. Apply nose up elevator until approaches the horizontal attitude and then roll wing to level
c. Reduce thrust first in order to prevent the over speed
d. Reduce thrust and roll wing to level simultaneously, then apply nose up elevator Ans. d
Recovery from nose down, high bank angle:
The nose down, high bank angle upset requires prompt action from the pilot since attitude is rapidly
exchanged for speed. Airspeed in that situation can rapidly increase beyond airplane limits.
It is important to roll the aircraft to wing level before applying nose up elevator, especially if bank angle
exceeds 90 degrees.
Simultaneous application of roll control and thrust reduction may be necessary.
The pilot should also extend the speed brakes as necessary. AOM VOL 2
By the other hand: BANK and THRUST then PITCH. 3.3/10 P6
296. Which condition does not generate the T/O CONFIG warning when T/O thrust is applied? Ans. d
a. Stabilizer setting is not in T/O range
b. Slats/flaps are not in T/O configuration
c. Parking brake is set
d. Speed brake handle is not armed

TAKEOFF WARNING SYSTEM


The system provides aural warning (CRC) through the cockpit speakers and the warning display when
aircraft is not in takeoff configuration and:
- Takeoff thrust is applied, or
- T/O CONFIG TEST button is pushed
Takeoff warning function is processed in FWC 1 and FWC 2. The computer will activate the warnings under
any one of the following conditions:
- Horizontal stabilizer not in takeoff range
- Slats/flaps not in takeoff configuration
- Speed brakes or ground spoilers extended
- Parking brake on
- Door not closed
- Brake temperature out of limit
- Any probe heat off
If the above parameters are correct, the display will be “NORM FOR T.O”. AOM1.19/6P1
297. Which statement is not true regarding the flight procedure chapter “Cruising”?

a. Bank angle limiter should be set to 15O when altitude is above 20000 ft
b. Bank angle limiter should be set to 15O when cruising altitude is above optimum flight level
c. Cruising altitude within 2000 ft of the optimum level, fuel burn will be within 1.5% of the optimum
performance
d. Cruising altitude 4000 ft below or above the optimum level, fuel burn may increase about 4% Ans. a
FLIGHT LEVEL SELECTION
The cruising level should be maintained as near as possible to the OPTIMUM level in order to obtain best
fuel economy. If cruising level is within 2000 ft of the optimum level, the fuel burn will be within 1.5% of the
optimum performance. But if 4000 ft below optimum cruising level is maintained, an increase of about 4% in
burn can be expected. Conversely, if cruising level in above optimum (up to ceiling) is contemplated, the
increase in burn may also reach 4%.
STABILITY AT HIGH ALTITUDE
When cruising close to maximum FL and particularly above the optimum level, the bank angle limiter should AOM VOL 2
be set to 15O. A bank angle of 25O will increase the wing load by approximately 17% therefore increasing the
stall speed and reduce the stall margin. At lower altitude the bank angle limiter should be in NORM. 3.3/4 P1
298. Condition: L/D at BKK R/W 21R, wind 120/15G25, A/THR is in used. Ans. c
What is the correct approach speed?

a. VLS
b. VLS + 5
c. VLS + 10

d. VLS + 15

Normal approach speed will be VLS + wind correction


The wind correction = 1/3 WIND SPEED or GUST VALUE whichever is higher.
- Maximum wind correction is 15 kt
- Wind speed is the value reported by tower or ATIS. Gust value is the difference of maximum and
average wind speed, e.g. for a wind of 20 kt gusting 30 kt, then the gust value is 10 kt.
- Apply wind correction only if there is no tail wind component.
- If A/THR is used or when significant ice accretion is suspected, minimum wind correction is 5 kt.

- In case of malfunction and VREF correction < 20 kt then maximum wind correction = 20 kt - VREF
correction. AOM VOL 2
- If VREF correction > 20 kt then do not apply any wind correction. 3.3/6 P2
299. Which statement is not correct regarding the crosswind landing?

a. The upwind wheels will touchdown first.


b. To maintain zero drift, some bank angle into the wind is required.
c. Precipitation in crosswind condition may create false impression of a/c drift or no drift.
d. To improve directional control stability, always touch down with wing-level Ans. d
CROSSWIND LANDING
GENERAL
In crosswind condition, fly the aircraft on the extended runway centerline with wings level and crabbing into
the wind until approaching threshold. At approximately 100 ft smoothly bank into the wind and use opposite
rudder for alignment with the runway. Keeps in mind the high roll rate capability and use only enough cross
control to stop the drift. The initial touch down should, without floating, be on the upwind wheels first with
bank angles as required to maintain zero drift. At 27 kt. crosswind component landing with zero drift will
require a bank angle of maximum 6°.
The wing tip will touch the ground at a bank angle of 15°. As during takeoff, keep banking the control
column into the direction of the wind until taxi speed. As the pedals affect both rudder and nose wheel on
the ground, only small corrections should be made during the entire landing roll.
Do not oscillate the rudder.
Control and aerodynamic stability are greatly improved when landing gear is firmly on the ground and
spoilers extended. AOM3.3/7 P.4
300. Which is not true regarding the unreliable airspeed indication?
a. The airspeed may increase during climb if the pitot probe is blocked
b. The airspeed may decrease during descent if the pitot probe is blocked
c. During climb out, the altitude indicators may remain at the field elevation if the static port is blocked
d. The stall warning and stick shaker is unreliable and may be ignored if the airspeed fluctuates and
suspects that the pitot probe is blocked Ans. d

The Indicated Air Speed (IAS) is a direct function of the difference between the Total Pressure (Pt)
measured by pitot probe and the Ambient / Static Pressure (Ps) measured by the static ports.
IAS = f (Pt – Ps)
Whenever a pitot probe is blocked, two scenarios can be considered:
- The pitot probe is blocked and the pitot probe drain holes are free. The IAS may fluctuate or drop
quickly towards the stick shaker speed.
- The pitot probe is blocked and the pitot drain holes are also blocked. The trapped Pt remains
constant.
- In level flight (constant Ps), the IAS is constant and the pitot condition may go undetected.
- In climb, the IAS increase (with decreasing Ps), possibly resulting in the activation of the
overspeed warning.
- In descent, the IAS decreases (with increasing Ps).
In the same manner, should the static ports be blocked, the ambient pressure is trapped and Ps remains
constant.
- During T/O roll, the IAS indication is normal.
- After lift-off, the static pressure is trapped and remains frozen at the airfield elevation:
- The indicated altitude remains also equal to the airfield elevation.
- The IAS decreases as the Pt decreases with increasing altitude (at constant actual airspeed).
The stall warning and the stick shaker activation are solely based on defined angle-of-attack thresholds.
The activation of these warning is therefore not linked in any manner to the pitot-static system.
The activation of the stall warning and the stick shaker shall be trusted at all times. AOM VOL 2
Conversely, the overspeed warning may be untimely activated in case of unreliable airspeed indication. 8.3/1P1-3
