Few A330-A340 Questions
Hello all,
I am completing a company internal written test on the Airbus and have a few technical questions to which I don't manage to find the answers in the manuals. I though that some of you experts out there might be able to help:
1) With the RAT extended, what fuel consumption increase can I expect ?
a- Aproximately 1.0% (A330) / 0.6% (A340)
b- At least 1.5% (A330) / 2.5% (A340)
2) In EMER ELEC Config what is the DC ESS Bus used for during APU Operation ?
a- It is the only power source available for the APU starter motor
b- It is required during APU start and shutdown to enable the ECB to maintain system protection features
c- It is required during APU start only, due to loss of voltage on the APU BAT Bus during this phase
3) Which Statement is correct if MCDU 2 Fails ?
a- FMGC 2 automatically transfers to MCDU 3
b- Switch Off MCDU 2 to access FMGC 2 through MCDU 3
c- FMGC 2 cannot be accessed
4) What would occur if the MAN ON Pb on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel is pressed while the green hydraulic system is pressurized ?
a- The RAT would deploy whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight
b- The emergency generator starts running and connects to the electrical network whether on the ground or in flight
c- The emergency generator would connect the charging circuit to the bus bars if battery voltage is less than 23.5V
Thank you in advance for your help.
