With regards to the HOT AIR P/B, at what temperature will the Fault lt and associated ECAM caution come on?

When that set parameter is reached within the coding, it gives you the warning! Who gives a S**t what that exact value was????

The TC/STC clowns that ask these type of questions are doing it purely to stroke their own egos.

Oh, in case you were wondering:

A. When the duct overheat is detected - 88'C.

Nice to know we are dealing with Big Picture Stuff
I do hope they are issuing the AMM to pilots given that's the only location for such info these days, especially in Boeing machines.

During a Recurrent TRAINING debrief last month ( 747-8 )

Sim ins: There will be a 1 on your report.
Us ( 2 F/O's ): Why??
S.I. : I had to stop the sim to intervene.
Us: That was not intervening, that was stopping the sim to give us input on an electronic checklist, for a malfunction we cannot simulated and practice in normal cruise. Me: When I was an instructor, we called it training.
S.I.: No, if I give an input it mean you'r not up to standerd.

Us: But we had a good Proficiency Check with a very experienced and realistic Senior Training Captain, representing C.A.D., yesterday.
S.I.: But did he stop the sim? In CX thats a 1.
Us: Is the difference not CHECK and TRAIN ?
S.I: ( getting irate at these 2 F/O's ) We have a high standerd here at CX.
Us ... just looking at each other
Made me giggle. They exist in so many other spheres, and not just the 'Trainus Austronautus' types.
