1
Q

What system prevents Flap or Slat asymmetry?

A

WTB-Wing Tip Brakes

2
Q

How many Slat/Flap Control Computers (SFCC) are installed?

What would occur if one SFCC failed?

A

-2

-The slats and flaps would continue to operate but at 1/2 speed.

3
Q

With only the Green hyd system pressure available, will both the flaps and slats operate?

A

Yes, at a slower speed.

4
Q

What causes the WTB to operate? (ROAM)

A

Runaway (move handle to 1, all go to 3)
Overspeed (flap jack screw brakes)
Asymmetry (both on one side, move farther)
Movement (Never touch the handle, ALL just move)

5
Q

If the WTB activates due to FLAP asymmetry can the SLATS still operate?

A

Yes, ONLY flap operation is inhibited.

6
Q

What would occur if one SFCC failed?

A

Slats and Flaps would continue to operate, but at half speed.

7
Q

What flap/slat configuration correspond to position 1 on the FLAPS lever and how do they differ?

A

CONF 1+F is used for takeoff and provides both slats and flaps
CONF 1 is used in flight and is slats only.

8
Q

When will the Automatic Retraction System (ARS) operate?

A

During acceleration in CONF 1+F, the FLAPS (not slats) will automatically retract to 0 at 210 kts.

9
Q

What is Alpha Lock?

A

This function inhibits retracting the slats from 1 to 0, at a high angle of attack or low airspeed.

10
Q

When the FLAP legend appears on the ECAM in blue, what is indicated?

A

Flaps/Slats in transit.

11
Q

What happens to the ailerons when the flaps are extended?

A

They droop 5 degrees.
