????? Yes, A320....

Hi! Could anyone tell me what is the use of vent tank on the 320? Thanks

Good morning! I maybe posted this thread on the wrong forum this morning.... I had a question on the VS knob: when we push VS knob in CLB, DES, OP CLB or OP DES, the plane will level-off. 1) On FMA, VS= 0ft/min appears? 2) If I was in CLB or DES, when I push VS knob, the small white...

Good morning, I had a question on the VS knob: when we push VS knob in CLB, DES, OP CLB or OP DES, the plane will level-off. 1) On FMA, VS= 0ft/min appears? 2) If I was in CLB or DES, when I push VS knob, the small white dot next to the altitude on FCU dissapears? 3) Is ALT still armed...

Hi! Some new questions on PFD: When FD is OFF, the heading pointer also appears on horizon line. The scale is of 10°. Let's say that I am at 270° and I enter 320°. How does the pointer appear (ie. The scale is too small). Does 320° appear between the horizon line and altitude tape in...

Thanks! Does this hydraulic pump also turn the small motor which keeps the generator RPM constant? Sorry, I forgot it's name.... How does that system work? How is the generator able to turn at a constant speed? Any link with this hydraulic pump? Thanks

Hi! On the accessory gear-box, there is the HP/LP fuel pump and a hydraulic pump. 1) Does the hydraulic pump also pump fuel? 2) What is the difference between a pump (ie. HP/LP fuel pump) and a hydraulic pump? Thanks!

Good morning, I had some Airbus ND questions after watching a small documentary on a flight between Shanghai to Zurich. 1) ND displays green dashes (ie. managed route) when the plane is in HDG. But in that video, FMA displays NAV but on the ND, we can still see green dashes and a...

Thanks for the quick reply, 1) Won't it be MACH (above FL250, FM only computes ECON Speeds) / VS -200ft / NAV? 2) So let's say that FCU ALT = 35000ft. I will hear an ALT alarm above 35 250ft (ie.+200ft/min) and one below 34 750ft? Will I hear it till I hit the ground? Thanks

Thanks R&W, So you get an ALT alarm for 250 seconds, right? Thanks

Hi! Ok, I am at ALT CRZ. I pull VS knob (ie. VS = 0). I then turn the knob : 200ft/min without changing the ALT. What happens? I am at ALT CRZ. I pull VS knob (ie. VS = 0), I then turn the knob : -200ft/min without changing the ALT. What happens? If someone could just tell me what FCU &...

Hi, just taking this post back... In Ground mode, when the aircraft reaches 75 kt during the takeoff roll, the system reduces the maximum up elevator deflection from 30 ° to 20 °. Does that mean that full AFT side-stick is no more equal to 2.5G but a G lower than it? So basically, the G...

Good morning, Could anyonrme explain me whatvis RACC - Rotor Active Clearence Control - for the 320? Thanks

Yes! In normal law of course. Do what is the G "range" the AP doesn't try to exceed? Thanks

Thanks a lot SinglePilot, So when AP/FD modes are flying the plane, they always remain between -0.5g & 1.3g? Thanks
