A-320 Assessment
 

Hy everybody

I have an assessment for A 320 and had been flying 737-200 and want to know how it works the airbus side stick for TO and how to handle an engine failure at V1 if it is like 737 yoke first and then rudder,how it works on fly by wire aircraft...any help????:confused::confused::confused:

Probably the best is to book a couple hours in an airbus simulator and just try it out yourself.

Correct the yaw with some gentle rudder input, the aileron is supposed to be used for track corrections once you are airborne. The aileron inputs should be kept as little as possible to avoid any spoiler deflection on the wings.
In the air, normal control laws of the Airbus counteract automatically any deviations in bank.

Good luck man :ok:

For the purpose of the assessment check......A very important thing to keep in mind would be to remember the "Auto trim". The nose (pitch) stays where you put it...the bank stays where you left it ..

(Of course within specified limits which you will know during your type rating)

On a SE failure after Take off..'generally' leave the side stick alone ..only counter the yaw by centering the 'Beta target' with the rudder pedals (the "rectangular" ball :E ), and Trim off the rudder pressure (hold the trim tab for about 5 -6 secs).

JG :ok:

Agree, great information, learn how to slide your hand down to the rudder trim without looking, turn in the direction of the good engine for approximately 10 seconds, a nice slow rotation when you see the engine fail will help.

Exactly, rotate initially to 10° pitch with FLX/MCT and 12,5° with TOGA and HOLD it, it'll help you to prevent your IAS from dropping below V2. The F/D will command you the highest of V2 or current speed, limted by V2+15!!

You won't need any roll input for a V1 cut. The FBW will effectively keep the wings level (in simple terms). And as for using the sidestick, if your overcontrolling - it's your fault! The thing is so artificially stable you hardly need to touch the side stick.

When I went for a 320 assessment, someone gave me the advice "Treat it like your mate's dick. If you have to touch it, touch it as little as possible!" When you find the aircraft oscillating - which it inevitably will, just let go for a while.
