Three questions from the free preview. Think of your answer first, then open the explanation.
1.On the A320 V2500, what do the thrust levers select besides thrust?
- A.The bleed air configuration
- B.The thrust limit mode
- C.The autopilot lateral mode
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The thrust limit mode
Each detent selects a thrust limit mode (CL, FLX/MCT, TOGA, MREV) shown on the upper ECAM.
2.With an A320 thrust lever between two detents, which thrust limit mode is used?
- A.The mode last selected
- B.The upper detent's mode
- C.The lower detent's mode
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The upper detent's mode
Between two detents, the upper detent determines the thrust limit mode.
3.How is V2500 actual EPR defined?
- A.P2 divided by P3
- B.N1 divided by N2
- C.P4.9 divided by P2
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. P4.9 divided by P2
Actual EPR is LP turbine exhaust pressure (P4.9) over engine inlet pressure (P2), shown in green.
