A320 Auto FLT

You are climbing to the altitude set in FCU.

What happens if the V/S-FPA selector knob is pushed?

• The aircraft immediately levels off.

• The V/S-FPA target is unchanged.

• The aircraft follows the selected V/S-FPA.

What happens if the HDG selector knob is pushed?

• The aircraft reverts to TRK.

• The HDG/TRK target changes.

• Nothing, the aircraft follows indefinitely

  the selected HDG/TRK.

• The aircraft continues to follow the current HDG until F-PLN interception.

What happens if the HDG selector knob is pulled?

• The aircraft reverts to the original F-PLN.

• The HDG target changes to TRK.

• The aircraft follows the selected HDG until

  intercepting the lateral F-PLN.

• Nothing, the aircraft continues on HDG 140 indefinitely.

Is the aircraft following a track or a heading?

• Track

• Heading

Look at the FMA. LOC in blue is ....

• The active lateral mode which is a

  constraint.

• The armed lateral mode.

• The armed lateral mode which is a constraint.

• The active lateral mode.

Look at the FMA. NAV in green is .......

• The active lateral mode which is a constraint.

• The armed lateral mode.

• The armed lateral mode which is a constraint.

• The active lateral mode.

A/THR in blue means it is ....

• Disconnected

• Armed

• Active

ATC cleared you to FL 150. The PF sets the new

altitude on the FCU. What will happen if he pulls the

ALT selection knob?

• The aircraft will stop the climb at FL 60

  until passing the constraint then continue climb to FL 150.

• The aircraft will disregard the constraint and climb to FL 150.

• As soon as the aircraft passes FL 60, the target altitude on the PFD will change to FL 150 and the aircraft continues to climb.

• The aircraft will level off at FL 60. The PF must pull the ALT selection knob a second time to climb to FL 150.

The FCU target altitude is FL 150, you are climbing toward an ALT constraint.

What will happen if the PF pushes the ALT selection knob?

NOTE: The constraint alt is FL60.

• The aircraft will level off at FL 60. The PF

  must push or pull the ALT selection knob

  a second time to climb to FL 150.

• The aircraft will disregard the constraint and climb to FL 150.

• As soon as the aircraft passes FL 60, the

  target on the PFD will change to FL 150

  and the aircraft continues to climb.

• No change, the aircraft will stop the climb

  at FL 60 until passing the constraint then

  continue climb to FL 150.

The FCU target altitude is FL 150, you are climbing toward an ALT constraint. What will happen if the PF pulls the HDG/TRK selection knob now?

• The aircraft will continue on the present

  heading, stop the climb at FL 60.

• The aircraft will stay on the present

  heading, disregard the constraint and climb to FL 150.

• The aircraft will follow the F-PLN, stop the

  climb at FL 60 until passing the constraint

  then continue climb to FL 150.

• The aircraft will follow the F-PLN,

  disregard the constraint and climb to

  FL 150.
