Like what you can see on GAs
![Page 50: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The upper part of the display is known as the
Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA)
![Page 51: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
When below 2500 feet, a digital
radio altimeter (RA)
is displayed
![Page 52: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Attitude information is shown at the center of the display
![Page 53: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The attitude indicator works in the normal sense
The aircraft is represented by 3 black and yellow symbols which remain fixed
Just like looking the aircraft from the back
![Page 54: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The Sky Pointer moves against a fixed scale to show angle of bank
To show both the pitch and bank indications in use
Let’s look at the indication for a climbing turn
Sky Pointer
![Page 55: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Below the roll index is the Side Slip Index
This index moves to indicate side slip and replaces the old fashioned slip ball
Side Slip Index
![Page 56: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
In this example the aircraft is in a 20 degree banked turn to the left with a nose up pitch attitude of 10 degrees
30 degrees of left bank

The compass display is very conventional
The gray scale moves against a fixed yellow line which represents the centerline of the aircraft
In the example shown the aircraft is heading 091 degrees
HEADING 091
![Page 60: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The small green diamond represents the aircraft track, and it is normally referred to as the
TRACK DIAMOND
In the example shown the track is 094 degrees which means that the aircraft has 3 degrees of drift to the right
TRACK 094
![Page 61: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
A selected heading may appear either as;
• a blue figure, on the appropriate side on the compass scale or
•a blue triangle
![Page 62: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
On the FCU there is a Heading selector, with an indicator, that is linked to the selected heading indication on the PFD compass
Target HeadingSelector and
Indicator
![Page 63: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
All the indications associated with Altitude are located on the right hand side of the PFD
CLB NAV
![Page 64: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The main part of the display is dedicated to the Altimeter. To the far right is the Vertical Speed display
Altimeter Vertical Speed
![Page 65: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

PFD also “teaches” us how to fly
![Page 68: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
When the Flight Director pb on the EFIS control panel is selected
Flight Director indications are on the attitude indicator
![Page 69: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
A Flight Director pb on the EFIS control panel enables the pilots to switch the Flight Director display on
Notice that there is an indication on the FMA when the Flight Directors are switched on
![Page 70: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

In this example the FD is directing a pitch up and roll to the right
Once the aircraft has achieved the required pitch and bank the Flight Director bars will once again be centralised
Now let’s look at the airspeed indications on the PFD
Roll to the right directed
Pitch up directed
![Page 72: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The Speed scale moves behind a fixed yellow reference line and triangle. In the example shown the indicated airspeed is steady at 250 knots
![Page 73: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
When the aircraft is accelerating, or decelerating a
Speed Trend Arrow appears
This arrow shows the value that will be attained in 10 seconds if the ac( de ) celeration remains constant
Speed Trend Arrow
![Page 74: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

To look at the various other indications on the Airspeed scale we will run through a typical takeoff profile.
We will assume a departure with the Flaps in position 1+F

It seems that something is missing
![Page 92: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Oh yes…
How to drive an Airbus
![Page 93: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
No… we have neither a steering wheel
![Page 94: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
nor a control column
![Page 95: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
In the A320 family, manual roll and pitch are controlled by the side sticks
They are spring-loaded to neutral and receive no feedback from the flight controls
![Page 96: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Movement of one side stick will not cause movement of the other
In this case, as the left side stick is moved, the right remains in the neutral position
![Page 97: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
FLIGHT CONTROLCOMPUTERS
A side stick sends a message to the flight
control computers demanding an aircraft
maneuver
![Page 98: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
FLIGHT CONTROLCOMPUTERS
CONTROL SURFACES
The flight control computers process the input and send it to the control surfaces
and instructions called LAWS. The processing uses pre-set limitations
![Page 99: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Ground mode
Ground mode
Flight mode
Flare mode
Normal Law is modified depending on the phase of flight. It operates in 3 modes:
Ground mode: • Operates on the ground when the aircraft is electrically and hydraulically powered. Controls are conventional.
Flight mode:• Operates in the air after a gradual transition from ground mode just after lift off to 150ft
Flare mode:• Modifies Flight Mode to introduce a conventional ‘feel’ to the landing phase
![Page 100: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
So what is the difference between
Conventional Aircraft
and
Our beloved AIRBUS?
![Page 101: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Conventional aircraft
•Control surface deflection is directly proportional to control yoke deflection.
•The same yoke input produces a:
- Higher rate of pitch/roll at high speed,
- Lower rate of pitch /roll at low speed.
![Page 102: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
A side stick deflection gives a rate demand to the Flight control computers.
For the same side stick input, the control surface deflections will be:
- Large at low speed, but- Small at high speed.
•A side stick input is a :- Rate of roll demand in roll,- Load factor (g) demand in
pitch.
Fly by wire aircraft
![Page 103: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
So how to fly?
![Page 104: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
In flight mode, if you wish to execute a descending left turn, you set the required attitude and then return the side stick to neutral
The neutral side stick position demands zero rates of pitch and roll
The flight control computers will maintain the set attitude until you use the side stick to demand an attitude change
Throughout the maneuver, there are no pilot trim inputs
![Page 105: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)

The airbus also provides some
protections
![Page 108: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)

So what is FCU?
![Page 119: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Here we call “Glare Shield”
![Page 120: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
In the middle of the glare shield, there is a Flight Control Unit
The FCU is one of the interface units between the pilots and the Autoflight system
There are selectors on the FCU which will affect the indications seen on the PFD and ND
![Page 121: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)

![Page 147: Dragonair Certificate Program A320 Screening Flight](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54bc10eb4a79595c018b45b9/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
With the aircraft established on the localizer;
•the heading is 230 degrees
•the track diamond is showing 3 degrees of left drift
•The ILS front course dagger is beneath the track diamond
You will see how useful the track diamond can be to help you fly an accurate approach in the simulator phase

During an FMGS computed (managed) descent the single triangle is split into two to give a speed range.
A double magenta bar indicates the target speed. In the example shown the target speed is 325 knots. The speed will vary in between the two speed range indicators as the aircraft maintains the required descent profile
Managed descent profiles will be studied in depth in the Autoflight modules

Following initial deceleration to 250 knots there is an indication of the next flap limiting speed, VFE Next
In this case the next flap setting is 1 so an indication is shown at 230 knots. The VFE Next indication will be visible provided the aircraft is below 15,000 feet
Green Dot Speed may also be visible
