V2P2 1-2-13 5.4 [Ops Man Pt A 8.2.4.3]
During ground operations, how is the APU
supplied with fuel?

•If the Trim tank contains fuel, or it is being refueled,
the Aft pump supplies fuel from the Trim
tank.
•Fuel is drawn from the Trim Pipe during refueling and for
the first 2 minutes of APU operation.

How would a functional check of the Left wing Standby
pump be conducted?
•Ensure the Inner tank quantity is above 1,000 kg, check
Main pumps are selected ON, then select the STBY pushbutton to ON, check
positive pump pressure on the FUEL page
•With the main and standby pumps selected ON and, no PUMP
LO PR message displayed, open the crossfeed valve. This creates a momentary
pressure drop within the fuel delivery system and the standby pump operates.
•Ensure the Inner tank quantity is above 1,000
kg, check
Main pumps are selected OFF, then select the STBY push button to ON, check
positive pump pressure on the FUEL page.
1.28.20 p1 - not well written
If the Fuel Quantity Indication (FQI) system accuracy
is affected by invalid parameter inputs, the system reverts to "degraded mode".
How would this affect fuel system operation?
•The affected tank quantity indications will pulse to
indicate that the readings are unreliable. Dispatch would not be allowed.
•The affected tank quantity indications are "dashed" to
indicate a reduced level of accuracy. This would cause the target C of G to be
moved forward by 1.5%.
•The FOB indication is lost due to the affected tank
indications being unreliable, however dispatch can still be made provided the
CFP is adjusted accordingly.
1.28.20 p15 and 28.10 p17

Valves in the inner tank divisions to Open (ON is illuminated in white).
•They provide backup control of the inner tank feed
system in case of a failure that "Splits" FCMC1 from FCMC2.
1.28.20 p4
During cockpit preparation the crew
observes that the Fuel on Board quantity indication is displayed in a partial
amber box.

If, after anti-icing, there are further
delays and repeated anti-icing is required, what procedure should be applied?

mixture before a further application of anti-icing fluid is made.
•Providing a visual inspection only reveals hoar frost,
then anti-icing fluid can be re-applied without the need for de-icing first.
•Re-application of anti-icing fluid should be made, as this
is normal procedure and will act as a de-icing fluid as well in these
circumstances.

[Ops Man Pt A 8.2.5.2 p10 Gen Op Note 5]

On application of TO thrust with a DRT thrust set on the MCDU PERF TO, the Capt sets the thrust levers to the TOGA detent.
•ECAM ENG THR LEVERS NOT SET occurs.
•ECAM ENG TO THRUST DISAGREE occurs.
•No warnings occur because TOGA thrust is more than DRT thrust.
3.02.70 p15 (A340 p17)
If there is no validated thrust lever angle, for one engine thrust lever during normal managed cruise flight:
•Manual thrust should be used, as the autothrust signal will be invalid.
•A/THR should be used and the appropriate engine will only deliver idle thrust during approach and landing.
•A/THR must be used to ensure normal thrust management on the applicable engine during cruise, approach and landing.
ENG # THR LEVER FAULT – 3.02.70 p23
What should the
crew consider when using the "Crossbleed engine" start procedure?
•Ensure the ENG BLEED valve pushbuttons (all engines) are
selected to "OFF".
•The N1 of the supplying engine(s) may be increased up to
30% if required.
•External pneumatic air if available and engine bleed
supply may be used to assist in maintaining the required air pressure.
3.04.70 p6
If there is no validated thrust lever angle, for one
engine thrust lever during normal managed cruise flight, how should the thrust
be controlled?
•Manual thrust should be used, as the autothrust signal
will be invalid.
•A/THR should be used and the appropriate engine will only
deliver idle thrust during approach and landing.
•A/THR must be used to ensure normal thrust management on
the applicable engine during cruise, approach and landing.
3.02.70 p28
What conditions would cause "LVR MCT" to flash on the FMA?
•If the thrust levers are not in MCT position after an
engine failure (with the speed above green dot), the message flashes White.
•If the thrust levers are not in MCT position after an
engine failure altitude with the aircraft above thrust reduction, the message
flashes Amber.
•If the thrust levers are not in MCT position after an
engine failure when the aircraft is above acceleration altitude as selected on
the Takeoff PERF page, the message flashes White.
1.22.30 p92 1.70.30 p7
When an engine is running at or above idle, what
electrical supply powers the FADEC system?
•It is self powered by a dedicated alternator above 8% N3
(A330) and 12 % N2 (A340).
•The corresponding AC Bus is the primary power supply at
all times (dedicated alternator used as back up)
•The corresponding DC Bus is the primary power supply at
all times (dedicated alternator used as back up)
1.70.20 p5
How does the start valve operate during a manual engine
start?
•It closes, by manual command, when the MAN START Pb is
selected off.
•It closes automatically when the IGN/START switch is
selected to NORM.
•It closes automatically when N2 (A340) N3 (A330/A346)
reaches 50%.
1.70.80 p7
On ground, after engine start, how would
the PF select continuous ignition on the engine?
•Ensure ENG START selector is left in the IGN/START
position.
•Cycle the ENG START selector to NORM, then back to
IGN/START.
•Select the ENG MAN START pb on the overhead panel,
causing ignition to turn on as the engine N1 speed is at or above ignition
cut-off RPM.
1.70.80 p4
What is the A/THR controlling range, with one (or more for A340) engine(s)
inoperative?
•Between the IDLE and the CL detent on the thrust
lever quadrant.
•Between IDLE and the FLEX/MCT detent.
•Between IDLE and the TOGA detent.
1.70.35 p4
On an A330 aircraft, how is Unrated N1 mode identified to the crew?
•Unrated N1 mode is identified by the phrase “N1
UNRATED MODE ”as part of the ECAM “EPR MODE FAULT message.
•Unrated N1 mode is identified by the phrase “N1
DEGRADED MODE ”as part of the ECAM “EPR MODE FAULT" message.
•An N1 amber thrust limit indicator is placed on the
N1 scale.
3.02.70 p29
What are your actions if the message “ENG 2 REV INHIBITED ”is displayed on ECAM?
•The reverser fails to operate as it has been selected
while airborne.
•This message is for crew awareness.
•Engine 2 reverser has just failed and will not
operate on landing.
3.02.70 p20
How does the FADEC GND PWR pushbutton
supply electrical current to the FADEC?
•The FADEC is supplied by the aircraft electrical
system as long as the pushbutton is selected and the "ON" light illuminates
(except if the ENG FIRE pb is released).
•With the pushbutton selected, the FADEC is supplied
for up to 5 minutes, provided the ENG FIRE pb is not released or the engine is
running.
•The FADEC is supplied by the aircraft electrical
system on ground or in flight as long as the pushbutton is selected and the "ON"
light is illuminated.
1.70.20 p6
During taxi for takeoff the ECAM caution message "ENG 2 FADEC
SYS FAULT" is displayed. What would your actions be?
•Shut down the engine and return to the gate.
•Continue as this is a minor fault message.
•Shut down the engine and attempt a restart.
