68. In Normal Law, what are the limits of Pitch Attitude protections with flaps Full
o 30° nose up.
o 35° nose up progressively reduced to 20°
o 25° nose up, progressively reduced to 20° at low speed.
o There is no limit.
69. You can degrade directly from Normal Law to Direct Law with gear down and a dual radio altimeter fault.
o True.
o False.
70. When do you get FLARE Mode in Alternate Law?
o Never. It goes directly from Alternate Law to Direct Law when the gear is selected down.
o When selecting Flaps 1
o At glide slope interception.
71. Turn coordination is available in Alternate Law.
o True.
o False.
72. If both pilots deflect their side sticks fully back:
o The "pitch up" order is twice as high as with only one stick deflected.
o The "pitch up" order is 1.5 times higher as high as with only one stick deflected.
o No inputs are sent to the flight control computers unless one pilot presses the takeover pushbutton on his stick.
o The "pitch up" order is equal to a single stick deflection.
73. To disable a side-stick, you have to depress the red take-over button on the active stick. Holding the button
down for 40 seconds will electrically lock the other stick out until its own red take-over button is pushed
again.
o True.
o False.
74. Let's assume the F/O presses his takeover pushbutton and releases it after more than 40 seconds.
o The Captain's side stick is de-activated unless he presses his takeover pushbutton.
o The Captain is unable to re-activate his side-stick for the rest of the flight
o Both sticks are active
o The Captain's side stick is active as long as the F/O's side stick is in neutral position.

o The limit freezes at the fault condition until Flaps 1 is selected.
o The limit freezes at the fault condition until Flaps 5 is selected.
o The limit freezes at the fault condition until Flaps 1 is selected. Then it resets to the low speed limits for increased control.
