Folks I am new to this forum. I apologize immensely if this question is too simple - I am not an airline pilot... yet.
If this is the wrong place to put this question, or if it's too simple and/or irrelevant for this forum, please tell me.
However, I would first like to know how one uses the ACP on the A320/330.
Namely, how does the INT/RAD switch work? If one wants to speak to the engineer through the interphone, I don't see why you would need the interphone switch. Surely you would just press the MECH transmission button and then select the MECH reception knob.
What does the INT/RAD button do? How does it work?
Also, when one is forced to shut the port engine on the A319 down (so materials on stand aren't sucked into the engine), what is the procedure for the hydraulics? I have heard you have to turn the YELLOW ELEC pump ON, then OFF after Engine 2 shutdown.
Is this right? Can anyone feed my intrigue?
I'm sorry if these questions are inappropriately simple.
