Q

IN AUTO, the cabin differential pressure is normally controlled by the

A

Outflow valve

2
Q

Automatic transfer of the pressurization controllers occurs after ____ or in case of failure of the _____ controller

A

Landing, operating

3
Q

Before takeoff and after landing, the outflow valve should be _____ and the cabin _____

A

Open, depressurized

4
Q

The automatic pressurization controller normally uses landing elevation QNH from the _____

A

FMGC

5
Q

During decent, the cabin pressure is controlled so that

A

It reaches landing field pressure just prior to landing

6
Q

How is the landing field elevation provided to the pressurization system in the case of a divert to an alternate?

A

The FMGC provides database field elevation when a new destination is entered

7
Q

If the airplane returns to the departure airport immediately after takeoff, how is the cabin altitude controlled

A

Cabin altitude automatically returns to the takeoff elevation

8
Q

In the event of failure of both automatic pressure controllers, a third motor provides

A

Manual operation of the outflow valve

9
Q

In case of failure of both pressurization controllers, a third motor provides

A

Manual operation of the outflow valve

10
Q

Illumination of the MODE SEL FAULT light indicates

A

A fault is detected in both automatic systems

11
Q

The cabin safety valve protects against

A

Excessive differential pressure

12
Q

When the landing elevation selected with the LDG ELEV selector, the cabin altitude is

A

Still controlled automatically throughout the outflow valve

13
Q

How is the cabin altitude controlled in the manual mode?

A

By toggling the MAN V/S CTL switch

14
Q

How is the pressurization system controlled manually ?

A

Selecting MODE SEL switch to MAN, and using the MAN V/S CTL switch to control the outflow valve

15
