steady?
• The respective IR is lost.

What does it mean when FAULT light illuminate on

ADR.
• A fault is detected in the air data reference part.
HYDRAULIC
When will ELEC HYD pump operate automatically?
• GREEN
• For 25 s, in the event of a one-engine failure,
when the landing gear selector lever is
selected up and the aircraft speed is above
100 kt.

• YELLOW
• In the event of an Engine 2 failure, if the FLAPS
lever is not at zero and the aircraft speed as
above 100 kt, provided the green electric
pump is not running for landing gear
retraction. It remains running until the last
engine shutdown.

• BLUE
• STBY: In the event of an engine 1 failure in
addition to a PRIM 1 or 3 loss.
HYDRAULIC:
How can you extend the RAT Manually?
• Push RAT MAN ON Switch
 FUEL:
When does the AFT fuel transfer start?
➟ In flight, the FCMC only starts an AFT fuel transfer, when all of the following conditions are met:
• Landing gear is retracted.
• Slats are retracted.
• Trim tank is not full.
• Inner tank’s fuel quantity is above 6250 kg.
• Aircraft is above FL 255.
• Aircraft CG is not on target.
AIR:
When does the amber FAULT LT illuminate on PACK sw?
* When the pack flow control valve position disagrees with the selected position, or in
the case of compressor outlet overheat or pack outlet overheat.

When does the amber FAULT LT illuminate

on BLEED sw?
• Bleed valve is not closed during
engine start.
• Bleed valve is not closed with APU
bleed ON (and RH engine X-bleed
open).
• Overpressure downstream of the
bleed valve.
• Bleed overheat.
• Wing or engine leak on the related
side.
• It goes off, when the ENG BLEED
pushbutton is OFF, provide the
failure has disappeared.
 CARGO SMOKE:
Explain what happen when pressing the AGENT push button?
Pressing the AGENT pushbutton, associated with the FWD(AFT/BULK)
compartment, ignites the squib of the two bottles, and bottle 1 discharges
the extinguishing agent into the compartment, which takes about 60 s.

The discharge cartridge of bottle 2 comprises a flow metering system, and so

fire extinguishing agent is discharged slowly into the compartment to ensure
sufficient concentration for 260 min.

the ECAM actions of the procedures are performed
until:
• “ENG MASTER OFF" for an engine failure without damage.
• “AGENT 1 DISCH” for engine failure with damage.
• Fire extinguished or “AGENT 2 DISCH” for an engine fire.
