SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Medium Jet

0-3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
This Synthetic Training Device has been designed
for professional flight training. Whenever some-
body is "flying" it, an instructor trained to its use
must be present!

Assuming the trainer is installed correctly and in proper working order, there is only a minimum
of rules to follow:

CAUTION
Do not smoke, eat or drink in the cockpit or at the
instructor station!

As a user, do not open the hood covering the trainer mechanical parts! Or, if it is open, do
not close it (and don’t touch anything inside).
For further safety information, on topics such as installation, moving or cleaning of the trainer,
please see the Maintenance Manual.

EMERGENCY STOP Medium Jet

0-4 EMERGENCY STOP

In case of an emergency (and only in this case!), use one of the emergency buttons to stop
the trainer.
There are two emergency stop buttons: One on the start/stop panel in the instructor station;
the second one is connected to the panel by means of a cable and can be used either inside
or outside the cockpit.

Figure 1: Emergency Stop

In the case of an emergency, hit the button - the power supply to the trainer will be cut and
everything stops.

CAUTION
Do not hit the emergency stop button ‘for fun’. It will
switch off everything, including the projectors, which
may destroy their lamps.

Have the problem solved before restarting the trainer.


To restart the trainer after having pushed the emergency button, release the emergency stop
by turning it clockwise. This will make it jump out again. Then follow the start procedure.

The pressure difference, ∆P, between cabin pressure and external pressure is limited according
to aircraft structure characteristics:

• Maximum ∆P = 8.2 PSI.


• Minimum ∆P = -0.4 PSI.

The ‘HIGH DIFF PRESS’ warning message appears if ∆P gets higher than 8.2 PSI for more
than 10 seconds. The ‘LOW DIFF PRESS’ warning message appears if ∆P gets lower than
-0.4 PSI for more than 10 seconds.
In normal conditions, the ∆P value should be between 0 and 8.065 PSI. This high range value
corresponds to a cabin altitude of 8000 ft for a flight altitude of 39000 ft. The ‘EXCESS
CAB ALT’ warning message appears when cabin altitude exceeds 9500 ft.
The safety valve open if ∆P gets too high or too low: if ∆P >8.1 PSI or if ∆P <-1.0 PSI.
The ‘SAFETY VALVE OPEN’ caution message appears if the safety valve is opened for more
than 20 seconds.
In automatic mode, the cabin vertical speed, VS, is limited to an absolute value of 2000 ft /
min. The ‘HIGH CAB VS’ caution message appears when not on ground and VS >500 ft /

The maximum wheel sliding rate is 20%.


At this rate, anti skid is activated (if previously engaged) and braking force is automatically
regulated to optimize braking and avoid skid.
Auto brakes can be engaged to abort take off.
In this case, auto brakes must be engaged when speed has not reached 60 kt.
If auto brakes are engaged when speed is greater than 60 kt, auto brakes are activated
immediately.
Otherwise, auto brakes are engaged but become activated when throttles are pulled to Idle

the MCDU. Therefore, this data must be carefully
checked (Captain’s responsibility).

• The flight crew should insert the weights after completing all other insertions. This is
to avoid cycles of prediction computations at each change in flight plan, constraints,
etc.
• If BOW is unavailable, it is acceptable to enter the expected values in order to obtain
predictions. Similarly, the flight crew may enter the expected fuel on board, if refuelling
has not been completed at that time.
• If BOW and FOB are inserted, the FM will provide all predictions, as well as the
EXTRA fuel, if any.

2-6 ENGINE START

2-6-1 AUTOMATIC ENGINE START


Use the automatic engine start procedure in most circumstances. However, if the start
aborts due to insufficient starter inlet air pressure (e.g. on high airfields, or in case of low
pressure from an external pneumatic power group), it is recommended to use the manual
start procedure, instead the automatic procedure.
If, during the engine start, the ground crew reports a fuel leak from the engine drain mast,
run the engine at idle for 5 min. If the leak disappears during these 5 min, the aircraft can be
dispatched without maintenance action. If the leak is still present after 5 min, maintenance
action may be required before the flight.

After start, to avoid thermal shock, the pilot should operate the engine at idle or near idle
for at least 2 min before advancing the thrust lever to high power. Taxi time at idle may be
included in the warm-up period.
The last engine started must run for at least 2 min before takeoff initiation, to ensure that

NOTE
Icing conditions may be expected when the OAT (on
ground and for takeoff), or the TAT (in flight), is 10
°C or below, and there is visible moisture in the air
(such as clouds, fog with low visibility, rain, snow,
sleet, ice crystals), or when standing water, slush, ice
or snow is present on the taxiways or runway.

During ground operation, when in icing conditions for more than 30 min, the following
procedure should be applied for ice shedding:

CAUTION
If, during thrust increase, the aircraft starts to move,
immediately retard the thrust levers to IDLE.

If ground surface conditions and the environment permit, the flight crew should accelerate the
engines to approximately 70 % of N1 for 30 s at intervals not greater than 30 min. In addition,
this engine acceleration should also be performed just before take-off, with particular attention

to engine parameters to ensure normal engine operation. If ground surface or environment do


not permit to accelerate the engine to 70 % N1, then power setting and dwell time should be
as high as practical. When operating in conditions of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing
fog or heavy snow, ice shedding may be enhanced, by additional run ups at intervals, to not
exceed 10 min, advancing throttles to 70 % N1 momentarily (no hold time).

• Little, if any, power above idle thrust will be needed to get the aircraft moving (40
% N1 maximum). Thrust should normally be used symmetrically. Once the aircraft
starts to move, little thrust is required
• Use of the engine anti-ice increases ground idle thrust, so the pilot must use care on
slippery surfaces
• The engines are close to the ground. Avoid positioning them over unconsolidated, or
unprepared ground (beyond the edge of the taxiways, for example)
• Avoid high thrust settings at low ground speeds, which increase the risk of ingestion
(FOD), and the risk of projection of debris towards the trimmable horizontal stabilizer
and towards the elevators

• Once the aircraft starts moving:


– Check the brake efficiency of the normal braking system: The aircraft must slow
down when pressing the brake pedals.

CAUTION
If the aircraft has been parked in wet conditions for a

2-8-3 180 DEGREE TURN ON RUNWAY


The standard width of a runway is 45 m. However, this aircraft only needs a runway width
of 30 m (99 ft) for a 180° turn.
The following procedure is recommended for performing a 180° turn on the runway.

• FOR THE CM1:


– Taxi on the right of the runway and turn left, maintaining 25° of divergence from
the runway axis
– When physically over the runway edge:
∗ Turn the nosewheel fully right
∗ On ENG 1, set N1 to between 30 % and 35 % (CFM engines)
∗ Set ENG 2 to idle.

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 2-35


Normal Procedures ALX Flight Manual
TAXI Medium Jet

The Ground Speed (GS) for the entire maneuver should be between 5 kt and 8 kt, to
prevent the width of the turn from increasing.

• FOR THE CM2:


– The procedure is symmetrical. (Taxi on the left-hand side of the runway).

Figure 2.4: Taxi Runway Turn Radius

NOTE
To prevent the nosewheel from skidding on a wet run-
way, it is possible to perform the turn at a very low
speed using asymmetric thrust and differential brak-
ing, as necessary.

When overflying the waypoint, or every 30 min:

• Check that the sum of the fuel on board and the fuel used is consistent with the fuel on
board at departure. If the sum is unusually greater than the fuel on board at departure,
suspect a frozen fuel quantity indication. Maintenance action is due before the next
flight. If the sum is unusually smaller than the fuel on board at departure, or if it
decreases, suspect a fuel leak.

During descent, ENG ANTI ICE must be ON when icing conditions are encountered.
When ENG ANTI ICE is ON, the FADEC selects a higher idle thrust which gives better
protection against flame-out.
ANTI ICE ON reduces the descent path angle (when the engines are at idle). The pilot can
compensate for this by increasing the descent speed, or by extending up to half speedbrakes.

The normal method of initiating the descent in VNAV is to select a lower altitude on the
FCP. The aircraft will initiate the descent when passing the calculated TOD.

• If ATC requires an early descent:


– Use V/S mode and adapt the vertical speed in order to converge on the required
descent path. (The pilot may use a V/S of -1,000 ft/min). VNAV is no longer
active and speed must be selected manually. VNAV can be re-activated during
the descent to return to the calculated descend path.

• If ATC delays the descent:


– Beyond T/D, the VNAV mode deactivates and the AP mode switch to ALT
HOLD and current selected speed. When cleared to descend, select a lower
altitude on the FCP and re-engage VNAV. The aircraft will adjust the vertical
speed to converge on the calculated descent path.

• When flying in VNAV mode, the aircraft descends along the descent flight path. Only
the first altitude constraints of the approach is taken into account for the guidance.
The aircraft will reduce its speed to 250 kts when passing 10,000 ft.
• When the aircraft is flying in HDG, NAV or ROLL mode, and thus out of the lateral
managed FPL, VNAV mode is not available. MCDU predictions assume a return to the
lateral FPL and descent flight path. Note that whenever the lateral mode is changed
from LNAV to HDG, NAV or ROLL the vertical mode reverts to basic PITCH mode.
• From time to time during stabilized descent, the flight crew may select FPA to check
that the remaining distance to destination is approximately the altitude change required
divided by the FPA in degrees.

FPA (°) = ∆FL/DIST (NM)

2-15-3 DESCENT ADJUSTMENT


• To increase the rate of descent:
– Increase descent speed (by use of IAS speed intervention while in VNAV) if com-
fort and ATC permit. It is economically better (Time/Fuel) than the following
procedures.
– Maintain high speed as long as possible.
– If the aircraft is high and at high speed, it is more efficient to keep the high speed
then to decelerate during level off, rather than to mix descent and deceleration.

NOTE
EXPEDITE DESCENT. If a high rate of descent is required, select the target
altitude on the FCP and push the FLT CHG pb. The aircraft will pitch down
to maintain the current speed while the A/THR retard to idle for maximum
descent rate. Adjust the target speed bug on the FCP as required. The FMA
will display XXXX. To return to VNAV mode, push the FCP VNAV knob. To
return to SPEED/V/S modes, push the FCP V/S pb. In all cases, monitor
the FMA to ensure that the mode engages properly.

In VNAV mode: If the aircraft is on, or below, the flight path and the ATC requires a higher
rate of descent, do not use speedbrakes because the rate of descent is dictated by the planned
flight path. Thus, the A/THR may increase thrust to compensate for the increase in drag.
In this case, use FLT CHG with speedbrakes.

The objective is to be stabilized on the final descent path at VAPP in the landing configura-
tion, at 1,000 ft above airfield elevation (in instrument conditions, or at 500 ft above airfield
elevation in visual conditions, after continuous deceleration on the glide slope).

• To be stabilized, all of the following conditions must be achieved prior to, or upon
reaching this stabilization height:

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 2-53


Normal Procedures ALX Flight Manual
PRECISION APPROACH Medium Jet

– The aircraft is on the correct lateral and vertical flight path


– The aircraft is in the desired landing configuration
– The thrust is stabilized, usually above idle, to maintain the target approach speed
along the desired glide path
– No excessive flight parameter deviation.

If the aircraft is not stabilized on the approach path in landing configuration, at 1,000 ft
above airfield elevation in instrument conditions, or at 500 ft above airfield elevation in visual
conditions, or as restricted by Operator policy/regulations, the flight crew must initiate a go-
around, unless they think that only small corrections are necessary to rectify minor deviations
from stabilized conditions due, amongst others, to external perturbations.
To conduct the approach, the PF has to switch from the FMS to GPS source on the EHSI.
The PF must wait for the PM confirmation that the NAV displays the LOC and glide scales
and deviation symbol, if there is a valid ILS signal. To avoid to revert to basic FD/AP mode
when switching the EHSI source from FMS to GPS, the crew must temporarily revert to HDG
and V/S mode. Then the PF select the EHSI source to GPS. The MFD can remain on FMS
and Electronic System Page set on NAV to monitor the approach or the go-around trajectory.

FLAP MANEUVERING SPEED SCHEDULE The flap maneuvering speed schedule pro-
vides the maneuvering speeds for various flap settings. When recommended procedures are
followed the flap maneuvering speed schedule provides adequate buffet margin for an inad-
vertent 15° overshoot beyond the normal 30° bank.
These speeds provide:

• A deck angle, which will provide increased forward visibility for traffic separation in
VMC.
• A higher than minimum maneuver margin.
• A thrust requirement, which is at or near, the minimum required to sustain level flight
(maximum fuel efficiency).
• A speed, which can be maintained with minimal thrust changes when the aircraft is
maneuvering in a bank.

The selected (blue colored) airspeed bug should be progressively set to the flap maneuvering
speed for each flap position during flap extension. The PF should call “FLAPS X, SPEED”

2-16-3 PRECISION APPROACH PATTERN


The objective is to be stabilized on the final descent path at VAPP in the landing configura-
tion, at 1,000 ft above airfield elevation (in instrument conditions, or at 500 ft above airfield
elevation in visual conditions, after continuous deceleration on the glide slope).

• To be stabilized, all of the following conditions must be achieved prior to, or upon
reaching this stabilization height:
– The aircraft is on the correct lateral and vertical flight path
– The aircraft is in the desired landing configuration
– The thrust is stabilized, usually above idle, to maintain the target approach speed
along the desired glide path

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 2-57


Normal Procedures ALX Flight Manual
PRECISION APPROACH Medium Jet

– No excessive flight parameter deviation.

If the aircraft is not stabilized on the approach path in landing configuration, at 1,000 ft
above airfield elevation in instrument conditions, or at 500 ft above airfield elevation in visual
conditions, or as restricted by Operator policy/regulations, the flight crew must initiate a go-
around, unless they think that only small corrections are necessary to rectify minor deviations
from stabilized conditions due, amongst others, to external perturbations.
To conduct the approach, the PF have to switch from the FMS to GPS source on the EHSI.
The PF must wait for the PM confirmation that the NAV displays the LOC and glide scales
and deviation symbol, if there is a valid ILS signal. To avoid to revert to basic FD/AP mode
when switching the EHSI source from FMS to GPS, the aircraft must temporarily revert to
HDG and V/S mode. Then the PF select the EHSI source to GPS.

FLAP MANEUVERING SPEED SCHEDULE


The flap maneuvering speed schedule provides the maneuvering speeds for various flap set-
tings. When recommended procedures are followed the flap maneuvering speed schedule
provides adequate buffet margin for an inadvertent 15° overshoot beyond the normal 30°
bank.
These speeds provide:

• A deck angle, which will provide increased forward visibility for traffic separation in
VMC.
• A higher than minimum maneuver margin.
• A thrust requirement, which is at or near, the minimum required to sustain level flight
(maximum fuel efficiency).
• A speed, which can be maintained with minimal thrust changes when the aircraft is
maneuvering in a bank.

The selected (blue colored) airspeed bug should be progressively set to the flap maneuvering
speed for each flap position during flap extension. The PF should call “FLAPS X, SPEED”
when flaps are required to be extended to the next flap position. This call will not be made
until the aircraft is below the maximum flap extension speed for the desired flap position.

2-17 VISUAL APPROACH

2-17-1 VISUAL APPROACH


INTRODUCTION Perform the approach on a nominal 3 ° glideslope using visual refer-
ences. Approach to be stabilized by 500 ft AGL on the correct approach path, in the landing
configuration, at VAPP.
Method:

• The autopilot is not used


• Both FDs are off
• FPV use is recommended
• A/THR use is recommended with selected speed.

Bear in mind the possible risk of optical illusions due to hindered night vision.
INITIAL/INTERMEDIATE APPROACH The flight plan selected on the MCDU should
include the selection of the landing runway. This may be a useful indication of the aircraft.
However, visual references must be used. Therefore, at the beginning of the downwind leg:
Select FDs to OFF. Select FLIGHT PATH on the Efis Control Panel to have FPV displayed.
Check A/THR active. Extend the downwind leg to 45 s (± wind correction). Turn into base
leg with a maximum of 30° of bank. Descent with approximate FPA, in FLAPS 2, at F speed.
FINAL APPROACH The speed trend arrow and FPV help the flight crew make timely and
correct thrust settings (if in manual thrust), and approach path corrections. Avoid descending
through the correct approach path with idle thrust. (Late recognition of this situation without
a prompt thrust increase may lead to considerable speed decay and altitude loss). Ensure
that the aircraft is stabilized on the final descent path at VAPP (or ground speed mini) in the
landing configuration with the thrust stabilized (usually above idle) at 500 ft above airfield
elevation or as restricted by Operator policy/regulations.
If the aircraft is not stabilized, the flight crew must initiate a go-around, unless they think
that only small corrections are necessary to rectify minor deviations from stabilized conditions
due, amongst others, to external perturbations. Avoid any tendency to “duck under” in the
late stages of the approach. Avoid destabilizing the approach in the last 100 ft, in order to
have the best chance of performing a good touchdown at the desired position.

NOTE
If one or both thrust levers remain above the IDLE

GROUND CLEARANCE
Avoid flaring high.
A tailstrike occurs, if the pitch attitude exceeds 13.5° (11° with the landing gear compressed).

It is better to reduce thrust when passing 70 kt. However, high levels of reverse thrust may
be used in order to control aircraft speed in the case of an emergency.

CAUTION
Avoid the use of high levels of reverse thrust at low
airspeed, unless required due to an emergency. The
distortion of the airflow, caused by gases reentering
the compressor, can cause engine stalls that may re-
sult in excessive EGT.

BOTH THRUST LEVERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FWD IDLE

• When reaching taxi speed, and before leaving the runway, deselect the reversers.
• On snow-covered grounds, the reversers should be stowed when the aircraft speed
reaches 25 kt.
• When deselecting the reversers, be careful not to apply forward thrust by moving the
thrust levers beyond the FWD IDLE position.

CAUTION
Except in an emergency, do not use the reverse thrust
to control the aircraft speed while on taxiways.

• On taxiways, the use of reversers, even when restricted to idle thrust, would have the
following effects:
– The engines may ingest fine sand and debris that may be detrimental to the
engines and airframe systems.
– On snow-covered areas, snow will recirculate into the air inlet, and may cause an
engine flameout or rollback.

NOTE
If the thrust levers are not set briefly to TOGA detent, the FMS does not
engage the GO-AROUND phase, and flying over, or close to the airport (less

The parking brake should be released after chocks are in place.
Releasing the parking brake prevents the critical structures from being exposed to high tem-
perature levels for an extended time. However, if operational conditions dictate (e.g. slippery
tarmac), the parking brake may remain applied.
When parking with a flat tire on the nose gear, keep the parking brake on, to avoid aircraft
yawing at parking brake release.

2-23 STANDARD CALLOUTS

2-23-1 COMMUNICATIONS AND STANDARD TERMS


Standard phraseology is essential to ensure effective crew communication. The phraseology
should be concise and exact. The following Chapter lists the callouts that should be used as
standard. They supplement the callouts identified in the SOP.
These standard ALSIM callouts are also designed to promote situational awareness, and to
ensure crew understanding of systems and their use in line operation.

2-23-2 CHECKLIST CALLOUTS


• “CHECK”: A command for the other pilot to check an item.
• “CHECKED”: A response that an item has been checked.
• “CROSSCHECKED”: A callout verifying information from both pilot stations.

If a checklist needs to be interrupted, announce: “HOLD CHECKLIST AT ___” and “RE-


SUME CHECKLIST AT ___” for the continuation.
Upon completion of a checklist announce: “___CHECKLIST COMPLETE”.

2-23-3 ACTIONS COMMANDED BY PF


GENERAL
The following commands do not necessarily initiate a guidance mode change, eg.: selected
to managed/managed to selected. The intent is to ensure clear, consistent, standard com-
munication between crewmembers.
All actions performed on the FCP and MCDU must be checked on the PFD and ND (eg.:
"FL 350 blue", "FL 200 magenta"). Ensure that the correct FCP knob is used, then verify
indications on the PFD/ND.

SET
The "SET" command means using an FCP knob to set a value, but not to change a mode.
SET is accomplished by only rotating the appropriate selection knob. Example:

• "SET GO AROUND ALTITUDE __"


• "SET QNH __"
• "SET FL __"
• "SET HDG __"

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 2-74


Normal Procedures ALX Flight Manual
STANDARD CALLOUTS Medium Jet

ARM
The "ARM __" command means arming a system by pushing the specified FCP button.
e.g.: "ARM APPROACH"
e.g.: "ARM NAV."

ON/OFF
The simple ON or OFF command is used for the autopilot, flight directors, autopilot mode,
autothrust and the bird (flight path vector).
e.g.: BIRD ON (The HDG-V/S / TRK-FPA pb is pushed.)
e.g.: HDG ON
e.g.: LNAV ON
e.g.: SET HDG 090 ON

2-23-4 FMA
The PF should call out any FMA change.
Therefore, the PF should announce:

• All armed modes with the associated color (e.g. blue, magenta): “G/S blue”, “LOC
blue”.
• All active modes without the associated color (e.g. green, white): “NAV”, “ALT”.

The PNF should check and respond, “CHECKED” to all FMA changes called out by the PF.

2-23-5 ALTITUDE
The PNF calls out “one thousand to go” when passing 1 000 ft before the cleared altitude
or FL, and the PF calls out “checked”.

PNF will make callouts for the following conditions during final approach. Attitude callouts
also to be made through to landing.

• "SPEED" if the speed decreases below the speed target - 5 kt or increases above the
speed target + 10 kt.
• "SINK RATE" when V/S is greater than -1 000 ft/min.
• "BANK" when bank angle becomes greater than 7 °.
• "PITCH" when pitch attitude becomes lower than -2.5 ° or higher than +10 °.
• "LOC" or "GLIDE" when either localizer or glide slope deviation is:
– 1/4 dot LOC; 1 dot GS.
• "COURSE" when greater than ¡ dot or 2.5 ° (VOR) or 5 ° (ADF).
• "__ FT HIGH (LOW)" at altitude checks points.

2-23-8 FLIGHT PARAMETERS IN GO-AROUND


During a go-around, the PNF will make a callout for the following conditions:

• "BANK": If the bank angle becomes greater than 7 °,


• "PITCH": If the pitch attitude becomes greater than 20 ° up or less than 10 ° up,
• "SINK RATE": If there is no climb rate.

2-23-9 PF/PNF DUTIES TRANSFER


To transfer control, flight crewmembers must use the following callouts:

• To give control: The pilot calls out "YOU HAVE CONTROL". The other pilot accepts
this transfer by calling out "I HAVE CONTROL", before assuming PF duties.
• To take control: The pilot calls out "I HAVE CONTROL". The other pilot accepts
this transfer by calling out "YOU HAVE CONTROL", before assuming PNF duties.

3-1-1 REJECTED TAKEOFF


GENERAL The decision to reject the takeoff and the stop action is made by the Captain.
It is therefore recommended that the Captain keeps his hand on the thrust levers until the
aircraft reaches V1, whether he is Pilot Flying (PF) or Pilot Monitoring (PM). As soon as
he decides to abort, he calls “stop”, takes over control of the aircraft and performs the stop
actions. It is not possible to list all the factors that could lead to the decision to reject the
takeoff. Experience has shown that rejected takeoffs can be hazardous even if the perfor-
mance is correctly calculated, based on flight tests.

This may be due to the following factors:


• Delay in Performing the stopping procedure.
• Damaged tires.
• Brakes worn, brakes not working correctly, or higher than normal initial brakes temper-
ature.
• The brakes not being fully applied.
• A runway friction coefficient lower than assumed in computations.
• An error in gross weight calculation.
• Runway line up not considered.
When the aircraft speed is at or above 100 kt, it may become hazardous to reject a takeoff.
Therefore, when the aircraft speed approaches V1, the Captain should be “Go-minded” if
none of the main failures quoted below (“Above 100 kt and below V1”) have occurred.

DECISION MANAGEMENT

Below 100KT: The decision to reject the takeoff may be taken at the Captain’s discretion,
depending on the circumstances. Although we cannot list all the causes, the Captain should
seriously consider discontinuing the takeoff, if any WAL warning/caution is activated.

NOTE
The speed of 100 kt is not critical: It was chosen in
order to help the Captain make his decision, and to
avoid unnecessary stops from high speed.

Above 100KT and below V1: Rejecting the takeoff at these speeds is a more serious
matter, particularly on slippery runways. It could lead to a hazardous situation, if the speed

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 3-6


Abnormal And Emergency Procedures ALX Flight Manual
OPERATING TECHNIQUES - ATA 10 Medium Jet

is approaching V1. At these speeds the Captain should be “go-minded” and very few situations
should lead to the decision to reject the takeoff:

1. Fire warning or severe damage.


2. Sudden loss of engine thrust.
3. Malfunctions or conditions that give unambiguous indications that the aircraft will not
fly safely.
4. Any red WAL warning.
5. Engine failure.

Exceeding the EGT red line or nose gear vibration should not result in the decision to reject
takeoff above 100 kt. In case of tire failure between V1 minus 20 kt and V1: Unless debris
from the tires has caused serious engine anomalies, it is far better to get airborne, reduce the
fuel load, and land with a full runway length available. The V1 call has precedence over any
other call.

Above V1: Takeoff must be continued, because it may not be possible to stop the aircraft
on the remaining runway.

REVERSERS: Full reverse may be used until coming to a complete stop. But, if there is
enough runway available at the end of the deceleration, it is preferable to reduce reverse
thrust when passing 70 kt.

NOTE

1. If the brake response does not seem appropriate for the runway con-
dition, FULL manual braking should be applied and maintained. If IN
DOUBT, TAKE OVER MANUALLY. Do not attempt to clear the run-
way, until it is absolutely clear that an evacuation is not necessary and
that it is safe to do so.
2. If the autobrake is unserviceable, the Captain simultaneously reduces
thrust and applies maximum pressure on both pedals. The aircraft will
stop in the minimum distance, only if the brake pedals are maintained
fully pressed until the aircraft comes to a stop.
3. If normal braking is inoperative, immediately apply the Loss of Braking
procedure (Page 3-91).
4. After a rejected takeoff, if the aircraft comes to a complete stop using
autobrake MAX, release brakes prior to taxi by disarming spoilers.

3-1-2 ENG FAILURE AFTER V1 - CONTINUED TAKEOFF


GENERAL If an engine fails after the aircraft passes V1, the takeoff must be continued. Use
rudder conventionally to stay on the runway centerline. At VR, rotate the aircraft smoothly
using a continuous pitch rate to a pitch attitude of 12.5°. After lift-off, climb at V2, limit
bank angle to 15°. When airborne with a positive rate of climb, select the landing gear up.
Use rudder to prevent yaw. Control heading conventionally with bank, keeping yaw at zero
with rudder. Consider the use of TOGA thrust. Consider the use of autopilot. Maintain V2
to V2 + 20 until reaching 800 feet or published obstacle clearance altitude, then decrease
pitch attitude to maintain slight climb or level flight. At acceleration height, level off and
allow the speed to increase. At this point, the Pilot Flying will determine whether to leave
flaps extended to maneuver for approach and landing, or retract flaps on schedule. At flap
retraction (as required), call for “MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS THRUST”, climb at VM for
the existing flap setting.
MAXIMUM TAKEOFF THRUST IS ONLY ALLOWED FOR 10 min.
ENGINE FAILURE DURING INITIAL CLIMB-OUT Proceed as above. However, if the
failure occurs above V2 maintain the speed reached after recovery. In any case, the minimum
speed must be equal to V2.
ENGINE OPERATION AT MAX T.O. THRUST IS LIMITED TO 10 min

The landing gear lever should be confirmed in the DOWN position for the following
reasons:

• To extinguish the UNLK lights on the landing gear indication panel.


• To prevent the L/G CTL message from appearing on the WAL page.
• To minimize the risk of landing gear retraction on the ground, due to an unknown
system fault, when the free-fall system is reset.

NOTE

1. Depending on aircraft speed, the display may show the landing gear
doors in the amber transit position.
2. In the event of gravity extension, caused by the failure of both LGCIUs,
landing gear position indication on TGFD is lost.
3. The L/G LGCIU 2 FAULT or BRAKES SYS 1(2) FAULT warning may
be spuriously triggered after a gravity extension.

If successful:
Do not reset the free-fall system. This will avoid such undesirable effects as further
loss of fluid, in the event of a leak, or possible landing gear unlocking, in the event of
a gear selector valve jamming in the UP position.

3-13-5  LANDING GEAR GEAR NOT DOWN 

L2 This warning appears in approach at 750 ft RA, if the landing gear is not set to
DOWN, and the system has not failed. When this warning appears, the red arrow on
the instrument panel comes on. This warning could be wrongly triggered in case of
landing gear position sensors disagreement between LGCIU 1 and LGCIU 2. In this
case, check that at least one green triangle is displayed on each landing gear strut
on the TGFD (Trim, Gear and Flaps Display). This confirms that the landing gear
is downlocked. Rely also on the “LDG GEAR DN” green LDG MEMO message to
confirm that the landing gear is downlocked.

3-13-7 LANDING WITH ABNORMAL LANDING GEAR


The procedure is intended for use when the nose or main landing gear fail to extend
and/or lock down following the application of the L/G GRVTY EXTN procedure. It
is preferable to use any available landing gear, rather than carry out a belly landing.
Under these circumstances, a hard surface runway landing is recommended. Full
advantage should be taken of any foam, spread on the runway.

CAUTION
Do not apply this procedure if at least one green tri-
angle is displayed on each landing gear on the TGFD.
This is sufficient to confirm that the landing gear is
downlocked. Disregard any possible L/G GEAR NOT
DOWN WAL alert at 750 ft RA and any possible
GPWS "‘TOO LOW GEAR"’ aural alert.

The outflow valve, emergency ram air inlet, avionics ventilation inlet and extract valves,
and pack flow control valves close. The ditching direction mainly depends on the wind
direction, and on the state of the sea.
These factors may be considered as follows:

1. Wind direction: This may be determined by observing of the waves, which move
and break downwind. Spray from the wave tops is also a reliable indicator.
2. Wind speed: The following guidelines can be used to evaluate wind speed: A
few white crests: 8-17 kt Many white crests: 17-26 kt Streaks of foam along
the water: 23-35 kt Spray from the waves: 35-43 kt

3. Sea state: This is best determined from a height of 500 to 1 000 ft. At a lower
altitude, the swell direction may be less obvious than the wave direction, even
though the waves are much smaller.
4. When there is no swell, align into the wind. In the presence of swell, and provided
that drift does not exceed 10 °, ditch parallel to the swell and as nearly into wind
as possible. If drift exceeds 10 °, ditch into the wind. The presence of drift on
touchdown is not dangerous, but every effort should be made to minimize roll.
Touch down with approximately 11 ° of pitch, and minimum aircraft vertical
speed.

3-14-6 CREW INCAPACITATION


NOT SIMULATED
If a cockpit crew member becomes incapacitated, the remaining crew member must
call a cabin attendant as soon as practicable. The best way to request assistance from
the cabin crew, is by means of the passenger address system:
“ATTENTION, PURSER TO COCKPIT PLEASE” he purser or any other cabin at-
tendant must proceed to the cockpit immediately.
The cabin attendant must then:

• Tighten and manually lock the shoulder harness of the incapacitated crew mem-
ber;
• Push the seat completely aft;
• Recline the seat back.

It takes 2 people to remove the dead weight of an unconscious body from a seat
without endangering any controls and switches.
If it is not possible to remove the body, one cabin attendant must remain in the cockpit
to take care of and observe the incapacitated crew member.
In coordination with the purser:

• Request assistance from any medically qualified passenger.

• Check if a type qualified company pilot is on board to replace the incapacitated


crew member.

3-14-7 BOMB ON BOARD

NOTE
The following procedure is provided here for general
training reference only and is not simulated by the
trainer.

IF POSSIBLE, LAND AND EVACUATE THE AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY.


If it is not possible to land and evacuate the aircraft within 30 min, apply the following
procedures:

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 3-106


Abnormal And Emergency Procedures ALX Flight Manual
MISCELLANEOUS - ATA 80 Medium Jet

COCKPIT PROCEDURES
BACKGROUND
To avoid the activation of an altitude-sensitive bomb, the cabin altitude should not
exceed the value at which the bomb has been discovered.
To reduce the effects of the explosion, the aircraft should fly as long as possible with
approximately 1 PSI differential pressure, to help the blast go outwards. 1 PSI differ-
ential pressure corresponds to a 2 500 ft difference between the aircraft and the cabin
altitude. These conditions are achieved by using the manual pressure control.

PROCEDURE
The following procedure assumes that it is initiated during climb or cruise:
First, maintain the cabin altitude.
While maintaining the cabin altitude, descend the aircraft to the cabin altitude + 2
500 ft and maintain delta P at 1 PSI.
During further steps of descent, maintain delta P at 1 PSI.
For landing, reduce the differential pressure to zero, until the final approach.
If flight conditions are different, the crew should adapt the procedure, bearing in mind
the above-mentioned principles (background paragraph).

Keep in mind that when flying at cabin altitude + 2 500 ft, fuel consumption in
CONF 1, with landing gear down, will be about 2.1 times that consumed in clean
configuration.
NEXT SUITABLE AIRPORT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DETERMINE
FCP SPEED SELECTION KNOB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PULL AND TURN
Select the most appropriate speed, taking into account the time to destination, the fuel
consumption and the fact that low speed could reduce the consequences of possible
structural damage, if the bomb explodes.
DESCENT TO CAB ALT + 2500 FT or MEA or minimum obstacle clearance altitude
INITIATE
Descending to 2 500 ft above the cabin altitude gives a cabin differential pressure of
approximately 1 PSI, which helps to ensure that the blast goes outwards, if the bomb
explodes.
AVOID SHARP MANEUVERS
Which might result in the bomb moving.
CAB ALT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MAINTAIN
Use MAN V/S CTL selector to maintain the cabin altitude. Initially brief UP input
should be required; but, be careful not to increase the cabin altitude.

When at CAB ALT + 2 500 ft:


1 PSI DELTA P . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MAINTAIN

stack against the door, is above the slide pack but
not against the door handle, and if possible, avoid
placement in the view port.

LEAST RISK BOMB LOCATION (LRBL) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COMPLETE


Place an additional single thin sheet of plastic over the bomb.

CAUTION
DO NOT OMIT THE PLASTIC SHEETS, AS THE
SUSPECT DEVICE COULD GET WET AND POS-
SIBLY SHORT CIRCUIT ELECTRONIC COMPO-
NENTS CAUSING INADVERTENT DEVICE ACTI-
VATION.

Build up at 25 cm (10 in) of wetted material around the sides and on top of the bomb.

DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING BETWEEN THE BOMB AND THE DOOR, AND
MINIMIZE AIRSPACE AROUND THE BOMB.

The idea is to build up a protective surrounding of the bomb so that the explosive
force is directed in the only unprotected area into the door structure.
Fill the area around the bomb with seat cushions and other soft materials such as
hand luggage (saturated with water or any other nonflammable liquid) up to the cabin
ceiling, compressing as much as possible. Secure the LRBL stack in place using belt,
ties or other appropriate materials. The more material stacked around the bomb, the
less the damage will be.
USE ONLY SOFT MATERIAL. AVOID USING MATERIALS CONTAINING ANY IN-
FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND ANY METAL OBJECTS WHICH COULD BECOME
DANGEROUS PROJECTILES.

standoff from the suspect device.
Passengers near the bomb should protect their heads with pillows, blankets. All pas-
sengers must remain seated with seatbelts on and, if possible, head below the top of
the head rest. Seat backs and tray tables must be in their full upright position.

3-14-8 VOLCANIC ASH ENCOUNTER

NOTE
The following procedure is provided here for general
training reference only and is not simulated by the

The performance of a 180 ° turn will usually enable the aircraft to exit the volcanic
ash clouds as quickly as possible, because volcanic ash clouds can extend for hundreds
of nautical miles.

The inner ply is affected. The flight crew is not able to easily determine if other plies
are affected. Descend to FL 230/MEA and reduce differential pressure to 5 PSI.

NOTE
The maximum flight level is restricted to FL 230/MEA

3-15-15 UNRELIABLE SPD INDICATION/ADC CHK PROC

Unreliable speed indication may be due to radome damage, or due to air probe failure
or obstruction.
The indicated altitude may also be affected, if static probes are affected.

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 3-126


Abnormal And Emergency Procedures ALX Flight Manual
NAVIGATION - ATA 34 Medium Jet

Unreliable speed cannot be detected by the ADIRU. The flight control and flight
guidance computers normally reject erroneous speed/altitude source(s), provided a
significant difference is detected.
However, they will not be able to reject two erroneous speeds or altitudes that syn-
chronously and similarly drift away. In this remote case, the aircraft systems will
consider the remaining correct source as being faulty and will reject it. Consequently,
the flight control and flight guidance computers will use the remaining two wrong
ADCs for their computation.
Therefore, in all cases of unreliable speed, the pilots must identify the faulty ADC(s)
and then switch it (them) OFF.
If all ADCs provide unreliable data:

• Below FL250: Switch OFF the 2 ADCs to display the Backup Speed Scale
(BUSS) and fly the green area of the speed scale.
• Above FL250: Keep one ADC ON to prevent the display of the BUSS, and fly
the aircraft using the Pitch/Thrust tables.

Unreliable speed indications may be suspected, either by:

• Speed discrepancies (between ADC 1, 2 and standby instruments).


• Fluctuating or unexpected increase/decrease/steady indicated speed, or pressure
altitude.

• Abnormal correlation of the basic flight parameters (speed, pitch attitude, thrust,
climb rate).
• Abnormal AP/FD/ATHR behavior.
• STALL warning, or OVERSPEED warnings, that contradicts with at least one
of the indicated speeds.
– Rely on the stall warning that could be triggered in alternate or direct
law. It is not affected by unreliable speeds, because it is based on angle of
attack.
– Depending on the failure, the OVERSPEED warning may be false or justi-
fied. Buffet, associated with the OVERSPEED VFE warning, is a symptom
of a real overspeed condition.
• Inconsistency between radio altitude and pressure altitude.

FLYING TECHNIQUE TO STABILIZE SPEED:


Adjust pitch in order to fly the required flight path.
When target pitch is reached, flying intended flight path, adjust thrust to target:
If the aircraft pitch tends to increase, aircraft is slow, then increase thrust;
If the aircraft pitch tends to decrease, aircraft is fast, then decrease thrust.

TECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Respect Stall Warning.
To monitor speed, refer to IRS Ground Speed or GPS Ground Speed variations.

CAUTION
If the failure is due to radome destruction, the drag
will increase and therefore N1 must be increased by 5
%. Fuel flow will increase by about 27 %.

AFFECTED ADC IDENTIFICATION


If at least one ADC is reliable:
Faulty ADC(s) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OFF
REMAINING AIR DATA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CONFIRM

Alternates sources may be used to evaluate the air data:

• GPS altitude.
• GPS and IRS ground speeds, taking into account altitude and wind effect.

If affected ADC(s) cannot be identified, or if all ADCs are affected:


When above FL 250:
ONE ADC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .KEEP ON

This prevents the flight control laws from using two coherent but unreliable ADC data.
For flight continuation, Refer to Climb, Cruise and Descent tables.

When below FL 250, if speed still unreliable:


ALL ADCs P/B . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OFF
All ADCs must be switched OFF to replace the PFD’s normal speed scale and altitude
indication to the Back Up Speed Scale and GPS altitude indication.

4-3-2 TAKE-OFF SPEEDS ADJUSTMENTS


• Altitude and temperature adjustments:
The following corrections must be applied to V1 and Vr according to pressure altitude
and air temperature. If adjusted Vr exceeds V2 then increase V2 to equal Vr.

Figure 4.12: V1 and Vr altitude and temperature adjustments

• Runway slope adjustment:

NOTE
This is for information only. All runways are flat in
the visual system.

The following corrections must be applied to V1 and distances if the runway has a
gradient. If the corrected V1 is greater than Vr, the value of Vr must be used for V1.

Correction factors – Runway slope


Runway Slope V1 Takeoff field length
– multiply distance by
2% Uphill Add 2 kts 1.3
1% Uphill Add 1kt 1.15
2% Downhill Subtract 2 kts 1

GENERAL Medium Jet

6-1 GENERAL

The Weight and Balance - Load and Trim Sheet chart allows the determination of Aircraft
CG location (MAC) function of dry operating weight, pantry adjustment, cargo loads, pas-
sengers and fuel on board. The operational limits shown on the load and trim sheet are more
restrictive than the certified limits because error margins have been taken into account.

The load and trim sheet needs to be updated when:

• a modification which changes the aircraft certified limits is included or


• a modification (cabin layout, cargo arrangement...) which influences the operational
limits is made.

It is the airline’s responsibility to define a load and trim sheet and to keep it up to date.
Refer to the following DATA and LOAD AND TRIM SHEET sections for a typical arrangement
example.

6-2 DATA

Dry Operating Weight = 42,500 kg and CG = 27 % (H-arm = 18.93 m)


Deviation or adjustment = + 100 kg in zone F
Cargo = 5,500 kg with the following distribution:
cargo 1 = 2,000 kg; cargo 3 = 1,500 kg; cargo 4 = 1,500 kg; cargo 5 = 500 kg
Passengers = 145 PAX with the following distribution:
cabin OA = 50; cabin OB = 55; cabin OC = 40
Ramp Fuel = 13,200 kg; Taxi Fuel = 200 kg; Fuel Density = 0.785 kg/l

6-3 LOAD AND TRIM SHEET

The Load and Trim Sheet (LTS) is used to determine the Aircraft’s CG location (MAC -
Mean Aerodynamic Chord). The operational limits presented on the LTS are more restrictive
than the certified limits because error margins have been taken into account.

Example of how to complete the LTS (see figure 6.1 also):

(A) Enter Master data in 1 .

(B) Using the formula indicated in 2 , compute the Dry Operating Weight Index and enter
in 3 .

(C) Dry Operating Index = 53.4.

(D) Enter the weight deviation or adjustment in 4 and read the corresponding index vari-
ation in 5 : +1.43.

(E) Calculate the corrected index and enter in 6 : 54.83.

(F) Enter the master data in table 7 and determine the Zero Fuel Weight: 60,280 kg
and Takeoff Weight: 73,280 kg.

(G) Enter the cargo weight and passenger numbers per zone in 8 .

(H) Enter the index scale 9 with the corrected index and continue through the cargo and
passenger scales 10 .

(I) From the final point, draw a vertical line which intersects 12 the zero fuel weight
horizontal line 11 .

(J) Ensure that the intersection point is within the Zero Fuel Weight operational limits, if
not, redistribute the cargo loading.

(K) Refer to table 13 for the fuel index correction corresponding to the Ramp Fuel Weight
(13,200 kg) and Fuel Density (0.785 kg/l). In this example, the FUEL INDEX -2 is
found. Adjust to the fuel correction scale 14 .

LOAD AND TRIM SHEET Medium Jet

(L) From this point draw a vertical line to intersect 16 the takeoff weight horizontal line
15 .

(M) Ensure that the intersection point is within the Takeoff Weight operational limits.

(N) Check the zero fuel weight and CG position: 32.7 % and enter in the sheet 17 .

(O) Check the takeoff CG position: 30.5 % and enter in the sheet 18 .

CAUTION
When TO CG is lower than 27% MAC, the basic performance must be cor-
rected.
• TO: Make a CG correction.
• LDG: Make CG correction on LDG speed and distance.

7-1 GENERAL LOADING DEFINITIONS

MANUFACTURER’S EMPTY WEIGHT (MEW)


The weight of the structure, power plant, furnishings, systems and other items of equipment
that are considered as integral part of the aircraft. It is essentially a “dry” weight, including
only those fluids contained in closed systems (e.g. hydraulic fluid).
OPERATIONAL EMPTY WEIGHT (OEW)
The manufacturer’s weight empty plus the operator’s items i.e. the flight and cabin crew and
their baggage, unusable fuel, engine oil, emergency equipment, toilet chemicals and fluids,
galley structure, catering equipment, seats, documents etc.
DRY OPERATING WEIGHT (DOW)
The total weight of an aircraft ready for a specific type of operation excluding all usable
fuel and traffic load. Operational Empty Weight plus items specific to the type of flight i.e.
catering, newspapers, pantry equipment etc.
TAKEOFF FUEL
The weight of the fuel onboard at takeoff.
OPERATING WEIGHT
The weight obtained by addition of the operational empty weight and the takeoff fuel.
TOTAL TRAFFIC LOAD
The weight of the payload including cargo loads, passengers and passengers bags.
ZERO FUEL WEIGHT (ZFW)
The weight obtained by addition of the total traffic load and the dry operating weight.
TAKEOFF WEIGHT (TOW)
The weight at takeoff. It is equal to the addition of the zero fuel weight and takeoff fuel.
TRIP FUEL
The weight of the fuel necessary to cover the normal leg without reserves.
LANDING WEIGHT
The weight at landing. It is equal to takeoff weight minus trip fuel.

8 Configuration Deviation List

NOTE
Configuration Deviation List (CDL) information is
provided here for general training reference only and
is not simulated by the trainer.

A Configuration Deviation List (CDL), is a list that identifies any external parts of an aircraft
type that may be missing at the commencement of a flight, and which contains, where
necessary, any information on associated operating limitations and performance correction.
Operation of the aircraft without certain secondary airframe and engine parts is possible as
indicated in the CDL. Any part not included in the CDL must be considered as necessary.
It is important to repair the aircraft at the first airport where repairs or replacements may
reasonably be made, since additional malfunctions may require that the airplane to be taken
out of service.
The CDL should not be confused with the Minimum Equipment List (MEL).

INTRODUCTION
Foreword
An aircraft is certified with all its equipment operative. Therefore, it is possible to operate the aircraft with
some of its equipment inoperative, or some missing or damaged structural elements for a limited time:
• In accordance with air laws
• Without any risk for flight safety
• Under some restrictions

Minimum Equipment List


The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) defines the equipment that can be inoperative while operating the
aircraft. The MEL defines also under which conditions the technical tolerance can be admitted and gives, if
necessary, the specific procedures to apply.

Important Remarks
• All equipment required and necessary for the flight are not mentioned in the MEL. Equipment
not mentioned is considered as mandatory for the flight. If such equipment is inoperative,
terminate flight preparation (NO GO).
• The MEL is used while the aircraft is at the parking stand, before taxiing.
• If a failure occurs while taxiing the aircraft, use the appropriate abnormal or emergency check
list first. Using the MEL in this case can be helpful to know if the flight is still possible or not and
if the failure has consequences on limitations and performances.
• If a failure occurs in flight, use the appropriate abnormal or emergency check list first. Using the
MEL in this case can be helpful to evaluate the situation and decide how to continue or abort the
flight (e.g. choice of diverting airfield).

INTRODUCTION
Medium Jet 25/04/16

Tables
The MEL consists of tables organised as follows:
 Column 1
Column 1 includes depiction and identification of the inoperative equipment or system. The ATA100
relative chapter is also shown in this column. It provides also information about the Repair Interval
Categories.
 Column 2
The number of installed equipment or system is indicated in column 2.
 Column 3
The minimum number of equipment required for the flight is indicated in column 3.
 Column 4

Figure 12.1: Air cond system

The air conditioning system supplies air to control the temperature in all zones of the aircraft:

• Cockpit
• Fwd cabin
• Aft cabin

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-11


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 21) - AIR CONDITIONING Medium Jet

The air sent to each zone is a mixture of Cold and Hot air:

• Cold air is produced by two packs.


Hot air from bleed enters the pack through the pack flow valve and is cooled in 3
stages:
– First cooler to reduce air temperature and compressor to increase its pressure
before second cooling stage.
– Second cooler to reduce air temperature further.
– Turbine to expend air and produce very cold air at discharge.
This very cold air can be blended with bleed hot air through a bypass valve.
The air is then blended with cabin air delivered by cabin fans.
• Hot air comes from bleed through trim air valves which control hot air flow.
The hot air supply can be closed by a hot air valve: when this valve is closed, hot air
stops passing to the trim air valves.

Cold and Hot air are blended to the appropriate temperature before entering cabin. The
resulting air temperature is controlled for each zone by driving trim air valves.
Cabin temperature is controlled by a zone controller which deals with 3 regulation zones:
cockpit, forward cabin and aft cabin. Crew can adjust each zone temperature independently
between 18°C and 30°C.
Air conditioning packs deliver constant temperature air.
The zone controller automatically drives trim air valve positions to set appropriate delivered
air to regulate cabin temperature.
Crew can ‘manually’ close the cold air supply using both pack’s ON/OFF buttons.
Crew can ‘manually’ close the hot air supply using the hot air valve ON/OFF button.
Air flow can be controlled by the crew in 3 Modes using the pack flow mode button:

• LOW: the flow produced by pressurization is computed to match the outer flow corre-
sponding to an outflow valve opened at 10% at cruise level steady flight.
• NORM: the flow produced by pressurization is computed to match the outer flow
corresponding to an outflow valve opened at 22% at cruise level steady flight.
• HIGH: the flow produced by pressurization is computed to match the outer flow cor-
responding to an outflow valve opened at 34% at cruise level steady flight.

Nevertheless, air flow is driven by the pressurization system and varies as required, especially
when the aircraft is climbing or descending.
Two cabin air fans (left and right) are used to recycle cabin air. These fans allow air flow
blending to acheive appropriate temperature variation rates. If one or both fans fail, air flow
blending and temperature variation rates are reduced.

Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 21) - AIR CONDITIONING Medium Jet

The zone controller is duplicated in 2 channels: a primary and a secondary channel. The
secondary channel is used as a backup of the primary one.
If the primary channel fails, the secondary one is used as a backup and packs switch to ALTN
mode.
In this mode, all zones temperatures targets are fixed to 24°C, regardless of the zone tem-
perature selector on OHP.
If both channels fail, the packs switch to REG mode.
In this mode:

• the hot air valve is closed (and trim valves closed also)
• the packs deliver fixed air temperature at 15°C.

Forward and aft cargo heat is also regulated using air produced by the air conditioning system.
Air circulates in the cargo area through isolation valves that are shut off in the case of cargo
smoke detection.

12-2-1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Bleed system supplies hot pressurized air for aircraft.

Figure 12.2: Bleed System

Bleed air is used by:

• Air conditioning & pressurization systems,


• Wing anti-ice system,
• Engines (to start).

Bleed air can be provided by:

• Ground air supply when aircraft is on ground,


• Engines through engines bleed valves,

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-23


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 21) - BLEED Medium Jet

• APU through APU bleed valve.

The bleed system consists in two separates set of ducts that can be connected using the cross
valve (X-BLEED VALVE).
On engines:

• Air is taken at Intermediate Pressure (IP) stage.


• Air can be taken also at High Pressure (HP) stage. This stage is used when IP stage
doesn’t deliver enough pressure. An HP valve controls HP air use.
• Air coming from both IP and HP stages are blend. On each engines air flow is controlled
using the bleed valve which is located after IP and HP air blend.

An over pressure valve protects the bleed ducts in case of engine air over pressure.
Air coming from engines is cooled through a pre-cooler. This pre-cooler gets cool air from
fan air and its flow is controlled by the fan air valve.

BLEED AIR CIRCULATION AND VALVES

ENGINES VALVES

Two valves, “engine bleed valves”, are used to open / close air circulation from engine 1 / 2
to bleed air network.
The engine 1 bleed valve is powered by DC Essential Shed bus.
The engine 2 bleed valve is powered by DC 2 bus.
These valves are automatically closed when they are power supplied and:

• Pressure in bleed air ducts is greater than pressure in engine (to avoid return flow).
• Corresponding engine starts.
• APU is started and APU bleed valve is open.
• Engine fire procedure running.
• Bleed engine pb-sw is OFF on overhead panel.
• Engine bleed leak is detected.
• Wing bleed leak is detected.

On Bleed MSD page, engine bleed valves states always displays the commanded states of the
valves, not the actual states. Amber colour means that valve is not in commanded position
(due to malfunction for example).

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-24


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 21) - BLEED Medium Jet

HP VALVES

These valves are the "High Pressure" compressor valves.


Normally closed, they are open when pressure decreased below 36 PSI (±4 PSI) to keep
pressure supplied by engine at least at 36 PSI.
The HP 1 bleed valve is powered by DC Essential Shed bus.
The HP 2 bleed valve is powered by DC 2 bus.
These valves are automatically closed when:

• Pressure on engine bleed valve is greater than 36 PSI (±4 PSI)


• Corresponding engine bleed valve is closed

Like engine bleed valves, the HP valves states display on Bleed MSD page are the commanded
states, not the actual states.

CROSS BLEED VALVE

Cross bleed valve is used to:

• Isolate both side of bleed system.


• Transfer bleed air from a part to another.

This valve is power supplied by DC 2 bus.


It is driven by X valve selector on overhead panel which can take 3 positions:

• SHUT: manually forced to closed state.


• AUTO: the valve is closed when APU valve is closed, opened when APU valve is
opened.
• OPEN: manually forced to open state.

The cross bleed valve is automatically closed when:

• APU leak is detected and no engine started.


• Left wing or right wing leak is detected and no engine started.
• X valve selector on overhead panel is on SHUT or in AUTO and APU valve is closed.

Like engine bleed valves, the cross bleed valve state displays on Bleed MSD page is the
commanded state, not the actual state. Unlike others bleed valves, the cross bleed valve has
a transit state displays on bleed MSD page.

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-25


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 21) - BLEED Medium Jet

APU VALVE

APU valve is used to supply bleed air from APU compressor to aircraft on ground or in flight.
APU must be started (N >95%) to open the APU valve.
Unlike engine bleed valves, the APU valve state displays on Bleed MSD page is not the
commanded state but actual state.
The APU valve state directly depends on APU starting phase and the commanded position.
It appears:

• In line green when APU is running and APU bleed air valve is opened.
• Cross line green when APU is not running and APU bleed air valve is closed.
• In line amber when APU is not running and APU bleed air valve is opened.
• Cross line amber when APU is running and APU bleed air valve is closed

The APU bleed valve is automatically closed when:

• APU leak is detected.


• Left wing or right wing leak is detected.
• APU bleed pb-sw is OFF.

APU valve is power supplied by DC Essential Shed bus.

BLEED AIR DYNAMIC

Bleed system handles bleed air pressure and temperature:

• Hot air coming from engines is cooled by the pre cooling system using fan air.
• Pressure is controlled by controlling valves opening.

Due to physics, pressure and temperature of bleed air may have rapid variations, especially
when valves are closing or opening.
On the other hand, when no system uses bleed air, its temperature slowly decreases as the
air is not renewed.

The pressurization system controls cabin pressure to ensure passengers and crew safety and
comfort. The cabin pressure is regulated using:

• The temperate air flow coming from the air conditioning system, itself being provided
by the bleed air system.
• The external air flow.

The pressurization system consists in:

• Two cabin pressure controllers, CTRL1 and CTRL2, CTRL1 being the main controller,
CTRL2 being used as backup. The active controller is used in automatic mode. It
computes the temperate air flow order that drives the temperate air flow coming from
the air conditioning system. It also directly drives the outflow valve.
• An outflow valve that can be operated by 3 independent motors: one for each pressure
controller in automatic mode and one for manual mode. The outflow valve is located
below the flotation line therefore a dedicated switch on the overhead panel enables the
outflow valve to be closed in case of ditching.
• A safety valve that automatically opens in case of too high or too low pressure.

Figure 12.6: Safety Valve

The temperate air flow valves are controlled by air conditioning system both on its orders
and pressurization system’s orders:

• The air conditioning system’s orders aim to regulate cabin temperature and renew
cabin air.
• The pressurization system’s orders aim to increase cabin pressure in automatic mode.

Since the air conditioning system provides temperate air flow whatever the cabin pressure
value, the outflow valve has to be opened even if cabin pressure is still. Nevertheless, in
ditching mode the outflow valve is closed and the air conditioning system doesn’t provide
temperate air anymore.
The outflow valve is controlled by the pressurization system:

• In automatic mode CTRL1 or CTRL2 controllers command SYS 1 MOT and SYS 2
MOT motors that independently operate the outflow valve. The outflow valve is used
to decrease cabin pressure when aircraft altitude is higher than cabin altitude and to
increase it when aircraft altitude is lower than cabin altitude.
• In manual mode the crew directly commands MAN MOT motor that operates the
outflow valve.

12-3-4 AUTOMATIC PRESSURIZATION MODE


In automatic pressurization mode the crew selects:

• The landing altitude at takeoff and landing.


• The flight altitude.

The altimeter settings are taken into account to compute landing and flight altitudes corre-
sponding pressures.
The system automatically regulates cabin pressure assuming the following phases:

• Before takeoff, when the air conditioning system is running, the system pressurizes the
cabin to a lower altitude than landing altitude value to avoid pressure surge at rotation.
The altitude difference corresponds to a ∆P equal to 0.1 PSI. During this phase cabin
VS is limited to -300 ft/min.
• During climb, the system depressurizes the cabin to reach cruise cabin altitude accord-
ing to aircraft climb rate.
• During flight the system controls cabin pressure to keep cruise cabin altitude which
corresponds to a ∆P value of 8.065 PSI at aircraft selected flight altitude. In normal
conditions, cabin altitude high value is limited to cruise cabin altitude. Therefore, if
aircraft altitude gets higher than selected flight altitude, ∆P increases.
• During descent, the system pressurizes the cabin to reach landing cabin altitude ac-
cording to aircraft descent rate. The landing cabin altitude corresponds to a ∆P value
of 0.1 PSI at aircraft selected landing altitude. In normal conditions, cabin altitude low
value is limited to landing cabin altitude. Therefore, if aircraft altitude gets lower than
selected landing altitude, ∆P decreases. If ditching mode is enabled, cabin altitude
low value is limited to selected aircraft landing altitude (∆P equals to 0 PSI).
• At landing the system fully opens outflow valve to depressurize the cabin to reach ex-
ternal pressure. To resume to before takeoff conditions after a landing, the crew resets
the automatic mode by switching to manual mode and then returning to automatic
mode.

The cabin altitude target is only a theoretical value which corresponds to a constant balance
state. Actually the system manages to reach the final altitude target according to aircraft
VS and possible cabin VS:

• During climb the system manages to reach cruise cabin altitude when aircraft reaches
its cruise altitude. Nevertheless, cabin VS is limited to 2000 ft /min.

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-43


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 21) - PRESSURIZATION Medium Jet

• During descent the system manages to reach landing cabin altitude when aircraft
reaches its landing altitude. Nevertheless, cabin VS is limited to -2000 ft /min.
• If aircraft VS is between -300 and 300 ft / min (cruise or climb / descent aborted),
the system manages to reaches cabin altitude target limiting cabin VS to a range of
-300 to 500 ft / min. The cabin VS depends on
• Aircraft VS: the higher the aircraft VS absolute value is, the higher the cabin VS
absolute value is.
• During climb:

– The higher the aircraft altitude is, the higher the cabin VS is. This is due to fact
that as the aircraft altitude increases the pressure difference between cabin and
external atmosphere increases too, hence increasing outflow valve efficiency.
– The higher the selected flight altitude is, the higher the cabin VS is.

• During descent:
– The lower the selected landing altitude is, the lower the cabin VS is.

The thereafter graph shows the relation between cabin VS, aircraft VS and aircraft altitude
in constant climb/descent rates conditions.

(ATA 21) - PRESSURIZATION Medium Jet

Besides, the automatic pressurization mode handles high and low ?P emergencies:

• If ∆P >8.3 PSI, the system automatically decreases ∆P to 8.1 PSI.


• If ∆P <-0.5 PSI, the system automatically increases ∆P to -0.3 PSI.
• In these cases of emergency, any other pressurization rules are superseded but cabin
VS is limited to a range of -2000 to 2000 ft / min.

12-3-5 MANUAL PRESSURIZATION MODE


In manual mode the crew directly controls the position of the outflow valve through the
MAN MOT motor. The crew ensures that ∆PP, cabin altitude and VS cabin values are in
appropriate ranges:

• ∆P appropriate range: -0.4 to 8.2 PSI.


• Appropriate cabin altitude: less or equal to 8,000 ft.
• VS cabin appropriate range: -300 to 500 ft/min.

The thereafter graph shows the appropriate cabin altitude toward aircraft altitude by taking
into account ∆P ranges, safety valve opening thresholds and maximum cabin altitude.

When pressurization manual mode is on, the air conditioning system supplies the cabin with
temperate air to a flow value corresponding to an outflow valve opening position of about
10%. Hence, to have a constant cabin altitude during cruise flight the crew maintains an
outflow valve position of 10%.

Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 22) - AUTOMATIC FLIGHT Medium Jet

– Initial bank angle >25°: flight director limits bank angle to 25°.
• HDG: In heading select mode the autopilot searches and follows the heading set with the
orange heading bug on the HSI. To use heading select mode, set the heading bug to the
desired heading, then engage AP (if not yet active) and HDG. You can also set the bug with
the AP engaged.
Pushing on the HDG rotary switch sets HDG bug to the current value.
• NAV (GNS CDI in VLOC mode): In NAV mode the autopilot follows a VOR signal. Use it as
follows:

1. Set the VOR frequency on one of the NAVs and verify that the autopilot is connected
to the HSI which is connected to this NAV.
2. Search the VOR by means of the course pointer on the HSI and set the heading bug in
the desired position.
3. Engage the AP, mode HDG and NAV. NAV ARM will illuminate.
4. When the VOR signal has been captured, HDG disengages (if engaged before), NAV
ARM will disappear and NAV CPLD illuminate.

• NAV (GNS CDI in GPS mode): In NAV mode the autopilot follows a GPS flight plan. Use it
as follows:

1. Enter the desired flight plan and activate a leg between two waypoints. Then verify that
the autopilot is connected to the HSI which is connected to this flight plan.
2. The HSI course pointer is automatically set to the desired track value.
3. Engage the AP, mode NAV. NAV CPLD will illuminate.

(ATA 22) - AUTOMATIC FLIGHT Medium Jet

• APPR (GNS CDI in GPS mode): In approach mode the autopilot follows an LPV or LNAV+V
GPS approach. Use it as follows:
1. Load and activate a GPS approach procedure in the current flight plan.
2. Set the aircraft on a course that intercepts the approach desired track and glideslope.
3. Verify that the autopilot is connected to the HSI which is connected to this approach.
4. Activate AP and NAV. NAV CPLD will illuminate.
5. When the aircraft is on course to the FAF, activate APPR mode. LOC CPLD and GS
ARMED will illuminate.
6. When the glideslope has been captured, ALT will disengage (if engaged before), GS
CPLD will illuminate.
7. Disconnect the autopilot when minimums are reached.

NOTE
GPS approaches with vertical guidance require a
WAAS compatible GPS unit, such as GNS430W or
GTN650.

NOTE
Don’t forget to monitor GPS unit messages during
approach. A precision approach can be downgraded
to a non-precision approach if GPS signal integrity is
lost.

NOTE
When the aircraft is performing a GPS approach, it
is possible to activate the missed approach procedure
by pushing the go-around buttons. The autopilot can
follow the missed approach procedure if AP and NAV
modes are selected.

NOTE
GPS approaches managed by GNS430W or GTN650
are not recommanded with medium jet flight model.

• AP: This button activates the autopilot (AP) as well as FD and yaw damper (YD) if they
have not been active before. If no other mode is engaged, the AP will maintain the current
pitch attitude and the wings level (if initial bank angle is <6°) or current aircraft bank angle
(if initial bank angle is between 6° and 25°).

(ATA 22) - AUTOMATIC FLIGHT Medium Jet

AUTO-THRUST ENGAGE MODES


A/THR is engaged when it controls the trust or airspeed. Power lever position defines the maximum
N1 that could be asked by the A/THR system. A/THR is engaged when:

• By set two power levers between CL and IDLE positions (with two engines running).
• By set two power levers between MCT and IDLE positions (with only one engine running)
while A/THR is armed.
• By pressing A/THR FCP push button while power levers are in A/THR range activation.

A/THR engaged mode is indicated by:

• A/THR FCP annunciator is green illuminated.


• A/THR is displayed in green on the autopilot indicator panel:

Figure 12.23: A/THR engaged mode

When A/THR is engaged:

• If two power levers are beyond CL position (with two engines running) or one power lever
beyond MCT position (with only one engine running), A/THR come back to armed mode.
A/THR become blue on the autopilot indicator panel, and power levers directly control the
thrust. MAN THR is displayed.
• If two power levers are below CL position (with two engines running) or one power lever below
MCT position (with only one engine running), THR LVR is displayed in green (in THRUST
mode) on the autopilot indicator panel and LVR CLB (with two engines running) or LVR MCT
(with one engine running) blink in white:

Figure 12.24: A/THR LVR CLB and LVR MCT messages

When one power lever is in CL position and not the other, the LVR ASYM message is displayed in
amber on the autopilot indicator panel while the two power levers are not set in CL position (only
with two engines running):
Except for take-off and go-around phases, the standard A/THR system operation ask to set power
levers:

Except for take-off and go-around phases, the standard A/THR system operation ask to set power
levers:

• In CL position, with two engines running.


• In MCT position, with only one engine running.

A/THR modes are automatically selected according to autopilot and flight director modes:

• SPEED/MACH mode:

– If autopilot and flight director are not engaged.


– If autopilot/flight director control vertical plan such as V/S, PITCH, ALT, GS, VNAV
(during cruise, descent and hold flight phases).

• THRUST mode:

– If autopilot maintain airspeed such as IAS, VNAV (during take-off and climb flight
phases).

Here are the following available modes when A/THR is engaged:

AUTO-THRUST DISCONNECTION
When A/THR is disconnected, it’s means that this system is not armed and not engaged.
A/THR can be disconnected by two ways:

• Normal disconnection:
– Push one of two A/THR disconnection push buttons on power levers.
– Set two power levers in IDLE position.
• Abnormal disconnection:
– Push A/THR FCP push button while A/THR is engaged.
– FMS is failed or A/THR breaker is popped.
– Set two power levers beyond CL position or one power lever beyond MCT position, when
radio altimeter value is below 100ft.

With flight director on, A/THR will re-arm automatically if at least one power lever is in TOGA
position. With flight director off, A/THR still disconnected.

12-5 (ATA 22) - FMS

12-5-1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION


The Flight Management System (FMS) is an embedded system allowing flight management and
optimization in horizontal as well as vertical mode. Coupled with autopilot and ATS, the FMS allows
the airplane to follow a precise flight path in horizontal mode (LNAV) and an optimized flight path in
vertical mode (VNAV) depending of real flight conditions (weight constantly updated) and weather
conditions (real time wind and temperature conditions). The FMS realizes with very accurate precision
routine tasks and calculation made before by the crew.
Alsim FMS is designed as a generic tool to be used to familiarize the student pilot to airlines or
pocket jet navigation procedures. It is not intend to be used as a full FMS trainer. It combines a
computation unit (the FMC) and an interface to let you communicate with it: the MCDU (Multi
Command and Display Unit).
The Flight Management computer, or FMC, is a tool basically designed to reduce the crew workload.
It can be used to do many routine tasks and computations for the pilots. The FMC stores informations
in internal files or databases.
There are two databases:

• A navigation database which contains data from sources such as standard instrument arrivals
(or STARs), standard instrument departures (or SIDs) and enroute approach charts.
• A performance database which contains data relating to the performances of the airplane.

It is only possible to modify the active runway by changing the SID or STAR. In that
case if a departure or an arrival has been already inserted, then corresponding points
are deleted.
• To activate the alternate flight plan:
Do a ‘Direct-To’ towards on point corresponding at the alternate leg.

A symbol ∆ place after a point is an ‘overfly’ command, meaning that the aircraft must fly
over the point prior to turn to the next one. To set or take off an overfly command, press
the ‘OVFY’ button on keyboard then insert it by selecting the related LSK.

12-5-8 VNAV MODE


CLIMB

This mode follows the calculated FMS speed. Pilot must act on the power levers to set values
calculated by the FMS for the aircraft to be able to respect the climb profile.

- CI=0, climb profile equal Vy speed (best rate climb & equal to EXPEDITE mode
as well). The profile tends to reach the cruising altitude as soon as possible, thus to reduce
climb time and low altitude flying (fuel cost).

- CI=100, climb profile with the maximum horizontal speed (with respect to regula-
tion) to reduce the total flying time (best ETA).

Climb speed for CI=0 (Green Dot)

CRUISE

This mode follows the calculated FMS speed. Pilot must act on the power levers to set values
calculated by the FMS to be able to keep the cruise altitude.
- CI=0, cruise profile is equal to the best efficient distance/fuel burn ratio

- CI=100, cruise profile with the maximum horizontal speed (with respect to regula-
tion) to reduce the total flying time (best ETA).

DESCENT

This mode calculates a profile following a 2˚ slope descent (or the value set in the DESCENT
page) compared to airport elevation but respecting altitude constraint set by the pilot.
Example: Cruising altitude FL300, targeting FL100

• CASE N˚1 - VNAV mode is engaged below a 2˚ slope:

The VNAV will keep the current altitude as long as it reaches the descending point,
then initiates the descent and will follow the slope until the ‘ALT SEL’ intercepts the
FL100.
• CASE N˚2 - VNAV mode is engaged above the 2˚ slope:

The VNAV mode needs to calculate a vertical speed to reach the FL100 at the point
where it would have been with a 2˚ descent

For that Distance ‘D’ is calculated according to the following formula:

(F L100−Z arpt )/100


D= 2

Then the time is evaluated to descend to FL100 by:


D 0 −D
Tps F L100 = Gs

Then vertical speed is then obtained:

Target V z = F 300−F L100


T psF L100

Maximum vertical speed is equal to 1.5 times the calculated theorical vertical speed,
depending of the selected slope.

12-5-11 EFIS SYSTEM


• Flight plans inserted in the FMS are displayed on MFD NAV page & PFD HSI. On ND
page, same informations are displayed as on GNS mode but with nearest informations
(waypoints, navaids, airport), holding pattern, top of climb and descent symbols. Each
EFIS can select their source feed (FMS1 or 2).
• Timer and stopwatch are moved to the right to free space for speed bug sent by FMS.
• Speed bug displayed by FMS:
TAKEOFF page set V1 , Vr , V2 , Venr . These 2 first bugs are displayed during the
take-Off phase (=Gear down), Those 2 last bugs are displayed during the Take-off and
climb phase.
Climb bug is displayed as soon as the value can be evaluated by the FMS, it is
removed right after the level off. It will be displayed again if the ‘ALT SEL’ value is
armed on an altitude over the current one. It takes either Knots or Mach as value,
whichever is the quicker. If it is in Mach, it will be displayed also in Mach on the PFD.
On VNAV mode, bugs are magenta coloured otherwise turquoise.
CRZ bug is colored turquoise right after level off.
Descent bug will be displayed when an altitude below the actual one is selected and
armed on the ‘ALT SEL’. It will disappear when the altitude is reached. It takes either
Knot or Mach as value whichever is the quicker. If it is in Mach, it will be displayed also
in Mach on the PFD. On VNAV mode, bug are magenta colored otherwise turquoise.
Vapp will be, on the top of the PFD, during the descent as long as the reference
stays on FMS.
Vref will be, on the top of the PFD, during the descent as long as the reference
stays on FMS.
• Bearing 1 and 2 can be linked on the FMS by selecting it as reference.
BRG1 can be set on FMS1 and BRG2 on FMS2.

AUTO-PILOT SYSTEM

Two autopilot mode are specially designed to work directly with the FMS; The VNAV &
LNAV mode.

LNAV MODE

The LNAV mode, for Lateral NAVigation, deals with the different aspects of the flight plan
like the NAV mode does with a flight plan stored in a GNS. Basically, LNAV intercepts and
follows the flight plan put in the FMS as long as your HSI has the FMS as feed.

VNAV MODE

The VNAV, for Vertical NAVigation, deals with everything about altitude informed in the
FMS depending the aircraft phase.

• TAKE-OFF:

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-182


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 22) - FMS Medium Jet

If the VNAV mode is activated on ground prior to take-off, the VNAV mode will display
a pitch attitude of 12˚ for take-off, until the under-carriage is up and locked, and then
goes to climb mode.

• CLIMB:

During this phase, PFD displays pitch attitude to maintain constant acceleration to-
wards the calculated climb speed (speed bug is linked to CI), and MFD displays the
appropriate power settings. Once the altitude / Flight level is caught, all previous
indication disappear but the power settings updated for the cruise. In case of engine
failure during climb, VNAV mode will give Venr as reference climb speed.

• Altitude / Flight Level Change:

– Select the target altitude in the ‘ALT SEL’


– ‘ALT CHG’ mode must be engaged.

The autopilot will initiate either a climb or a descent to catch the selected altitude.
Indication of the power settings, airspeed and possibly rate of descent are displayed on
PFD.

• DESCENT:

The autopilot initiates the descent when passing the Top Of Descent (TOC) and an
altitude is armed below current altitude. Then, informations about speed on airspeed
indicator - related to the Cost Index - a rate of descent on vertical speed indicator, a
pitch angle with the flight director and power settings are displayed on PFDs.

12-6 (ATA 24) - ELECTRICS

12-6-1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The electrical system consists in three-phases 115V / 400Hz AC current and 28V DC current.
The system produces the AC current with dedicated sources:

• Engines GENerators (GEN 1 and GEN 2) linked to engines through Integrated Drive
Generators (IDG 1 and IDG 2).
• An Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) GENerator (APU GEN) driven by APU.
• An EMERgency GENerator (EMER GEN) driven by blue hydraulic system when Ram
Air Turbine (RAT) is extended.
• A STATic INVerter (STAT INV) that transforms DC current coming from batteries to
AC current.
• On ground, an external power unit (EXT PWR) provides the system with AC current
when plugged-in.

GEN 1, GEN 2, APU GEN and EXT PWR delivers by their owns enough current to power
the whole aircraft network.
EMER GEN delivers enough current to power the essential devices of the aircraft network.
STAT INV delivers enough current to power the most essential AC devices of the aircraft
network.
The system produces the DC current using:

• Two batteries (BAT 1 and BAT 2).


• Three Transformer Rectifiers - TR 1, TR 2 and ESSential TR (ESS TR) - that transform
AC current to DC current.

Two transformer rectifiers out of three (from TR 1, TR 2 and ESS TR) are needed to deliver
enough current to power the whole aircraft DC network. ESS TR delivers enough current to
power the essential DC devices of the aircraft network. When fully charged, the two batteries
together deliver enough current to:

• Power the most essential devices of the aircraft network.


• Start APU.

The system delivers current to inboard devices on separate buses:

• AC buses:

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-185


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 24) - ELECTRICS Medium Jet

– AC BUS 1 and AC BUS 2 are the main AC buses. In normal configuration these
buses are supplied by GEN 1 and GEN 2. They can also be supplied by APU or
EXT PWR through the AC BUSes TIE device (BUS TIE). They power AC ESS
bus. They also power the DC buses through TR 1 and TR 2.
– AC ESSential bus (AC ESS) provides the essential devices with AC current. In
normal configuration AC ESS is supplied by AC 1 or AC 2 depending on AC ESS
line feed selection.
– AC ESSential SHEDable bus (AC ESS SHED) is the part of AC ESS bus that
can be shed if needed (when power supply is not sufficient).

• DC buses:

– DC BUS 1 and DC BUS 2 are the main DC buses. In normal configuration,


these buses are supplied by TR 1 and TR 2. The are also connected to DC
BAT to supply it in normal configuration or to be supplied by it in abnormal
configuration.
– DC BATteries bus (DC BAT) is the bus linked to batteries. It can supply them
in case of battery discharge or be supplied by them when no generator is running.
In normal configuration DC BAT supplies DC ESS.
– DC ESSential bus (DC ESS) provides the essential devices with DC current. In
normal configuration DC ESS is supplied by DC BAT.
– DC ESSential SHEDable bus (DC ESS SHED) is the part of DC ESS bus that
can be shed if needed (when power supply is not sufficient).

The thereafter diagram illustrate the normal electrical configuration.

Figure 12.101: Normal electrical configuration

When neither GEN 1, GEN 2, APU GEN nor EXT PWR are available, the system automati-
cally switches to the following configurations:
• On ground and speed <50 kt: BAT ONLY configuration.
In this case the batteries only power DC BAT and DC ESS (shed).
• On ground and speed >50 kt or in flight, speed <100 kt: ESS BUSES ON BAT
configuration.
In this case, the batteries only power DC BAT, DC ESS (shed) and AC ESS (shed)
through STAT INV.
• Speed >100 kt (either on ground or in flight): EMERgency CONFIGuration (EMER
CONFIG).
• In this case EMER GEN is energized by the blue hydraulic system pressurized by the
RAT (that extends when speed >100 kt). EMER GEN powers AC ESS (not shed) and
DC ESS (not shed) through ESS TR.
The thereafter diagrams illustrate BAT ONLY, ESS BUSES ON BAT and EMER CONFIG
configurations.

In case of smoke detection in avionics bay, the system switches in SMOKE configuration:

• AC BUS 1, AC BUS 2, DC BUS 1 and DC BUS 2 are disconnected.


• GEN 1 is directly connected to fuel pumps 1 (both wings) to enable them to provide
engines with fuel.

The system configuration is then same as in BAT ONLY, ESS BUSES ON BAT or EMER
CONFIG configurations except for GEN 1 that is directly connected to fuel pumps 1 (both
wings).

BREAKERS

The electrical system breakers enable to isolate part of electrical system in case of failure.
They are located on the overhead panel:

• BAT 1 (2) BRK: connects/disconnects BAT 1 (2) to DC BAT.


• DC ESS BUS BRK: connects/disconnects DC ESS to DC BAT, BAT 2 and ESS TR.
• DC 1 (2) BUS BRK: connects/disconnects DC BUS 1 (2) to DC BAT and TR 1 (2).
• AC ESS BUS BRK: connects/disconnects AC ESS to AC buses, EMER GEN, ESS TR
and STAT INV.
• AC 1 (2) BUS BRK: connects/disconnects AC BUS 1 (2) to AC ESS, TR 1 (2), GEN
1 (2) and BUS TIE.
• GEN 1 (2) BRK: connects/disconnects GEN 1 (2) to electrical network.
• APU GEN BRK: connects/disconnects APU GEN to electrical network.

Breakers are automatically disconnected (pulled) on fault detection.

BUILT-IN BREAKERS

Batteries, engines generators and APU generator are equipped with built-in breakers:

• Batteries built-in breakers automatically trip the batteries in the following cases:
– Battery overheat: in case of battery overheat detection, the battery is tripped
unless if electrical configuration is BAT ONLY or ESS BUSES ON BAT or if APU
is starting when on EMER CONFIG.
– Battery under voltage: in case of battery under voltage, the battery is tripped.
• Engines generators built-in breakers automatically trip generators in the following cases:

– Generator fault detection: in case of generator under or over voltage detection or


in case of generator under or over frequency detection, the generator is tripped.
– IDG disconnection: in case of IDG disconnection, the generator is tripped.

• APU generator built-in breaker automatically trip generator in case of generator under
or over voltage detection or in case of generator under or over frequency detection.

To resume built-in breakers state, the affected device must be switch off. When switched on
the built-in breakers doesn’t trip affected device again if not faulty anymore.
This ON / OFF cycle as to be perform prior to affected breakers push (except for APU GEN).

configuration. They are located on the overhead panel:

• BAT 1 (2) SW: switch on/off BAT 1 (2).


• GEN 1 (2) SW: switches on/off GEN 1 (2).
• APU GEN SW: switches on/off APU GEN.
• EXT PWR SW: switches on/off EXT PWR supply.
• BUS TIE SW: switches on/off AC BUS TIE functionality. If switched off, APU GEN
and EXT PWR cannot supply electrical network and GEN 1 (2) cannot supply AC BUS
2 (1).
• AC ESS FEED SW: switches AC ESS supply to either AC BUS 1 (switch set to left)
or AC BUS 2 (switch set to right).
• GEN 1 LINE SW: used to directly power fuel 1 pumps (both wings) with GEN 1. It
also disconnects GEN 1 from BUS TIE and AC BUS 1. This configuration is used in
case of smoke detection in avionics bay.
• IDG 1 (2) DISC SW (not shown on diagram): used to disconnect IDG 1 (2) from
engine 1 (2). If IDG 1 (2) is disconnected, GEN 1 (2) is tripped. IDG 1 (2) can only
be reconnected on ground by maintenance crew.

12-11-3 ENGINES FIRE PROTECTION


The engines have a fire detection system consisting of:

• detection loop (sensing elements in main parts of the engine)


• fire detection unit (FDU)

When a sensing element is subjected to heat, a signal is sent to the FDU which transmits all
informations to warn crew (WAL messages, warning sounds and Master buttons)
The extinguishing system is comprised of 2 bottles for each engine, with electrically operated
squibs to discharge their contents. Each bottle have a discharging duration of 30 seconds.
After a fire is detected, pushing the corresponding engine ‘FIRE PUSH’ guarded push button
will:

• Light on the active agent on the overhead panel.


• Automatically close the bleed engine valve.
• Disconnect the generator from the electrical system.
• Switch off fire claim sound.

12-11-4 APU FIRE PROTECTION


The APU have a fire detection system consisting of:

• detection loop
• fire detection unit (FDU)

When a sensing element is subjected to heat, a signal is sent to the FDU which transmits all
informations to warn crew (WAL messages, warning sounds and Master buttons)
The extinguishing system is comprised of 1 bottle, with electrically operated squibs to dis-
charge their contents. The bottle has a discharging duration of 60 seconds.
If an APU fire is detected when aircraft is on ground, the APU is automatically shut down
(not if due to the test procedure) and the bottle is discharged.

12-11-5 LAVATORIES FIRE PROTECTION


The lavatories fire protection consists of a smoke detector for each lavatory and an automatic
extinguishing system . When smoke is detected in a lavatory, information is sent to the flight
warning system.

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-256


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 26) - FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Medium Jet

12-11-6 CARGO FIRE PROTECTION


The cargo fire protection consists of

• smoke detectors in each cargo (forward and aft)


• a bottle with two heads (on for each compartment)

When smoke is detected, a signal is sent to the smoke detection control unit which transmits
all informations to warn crew (WAL messages, warning sounds and Master buttons)

12-11-7 AVIONIC BAY FIRE PROTECTION


The avionic bay fire protection consists of a smoke detector in the air extraction duct of
avionics compartment. If smoke is detected, the crew has to isolate the faulty circuit, and
has to manually extinguish the fire.

12-12 (ATA 27) - FLIGHT CONTROLS

The flight control system consists of primary and secondary controls.

12-12-1 PRIMARY FLIGHT CONTROLS


The trainer is equipped with wheel, stick and pedals for both pilot and copilot. The systems
are interconnected.

WHEEL

Turning the wheel controls roll (i. e. the simulated aircraft movement about the longitudinal
axis).
On the wheel there are buttons for disconnecting the autopilot (red) and starting/ stopping/
resetting the stopwatch (black) as well the electric pitch trim switch. On the wheel back
there is the PTT (push to talk) — the transmission switch for the communications system.

Stopwatch start/stop/reset
Transmission switch

Electric Autopilot
pitch trim disengage

Figure 12.140: Pilot’s wheel

STICK

Moving the stick fore and aft controls pitch (i. e. the simulated aircraft movement about the
lateral axis). Pushing the stick forward lowers the simulated aircraft nose, pulling the wheel
back raises it.

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-259


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 27) - FLIGHT CONTROLS Medium Jet

PEDALS

The pedals control the simulated aircraft rudder and thus its yaw (movement about the
vertical axis) when the aircraft is in the air. On ground the pedals control nose wheel
steering.
The wheel brakes are activated by pressing the upper part of the pedal with one’s toes.

NOSEWHEEL STEERING

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Nosewheel steering system provides directional control on the ground by movement or the
rudder pedals or steering hand wheel on left and right consoles.
Nosewheel steering system wheel operation is dedicated to low-speed taxiing and parking and
provides up to 75° of steering angle either side of center. Rudder pedal steering is dedicated
to high-speed taxiing, takeoff, and landing roll. The hand control wheel is spring-loaded to
center when released.
A centering spring provides backup centering of the nosewheels at lift-off. Airborne, the
nosewheels are automatically centered and the system is deactivated.

12-12-3 SPEED BRAKES


The simulated aircraft is equipped with speed brakes on the wings. The speed brake control
is a lever on the power quadrant, to the left of the thrust levers. Four positions are available:
GND, 0, 50% and 100%

Figure 12.154: Speed brakes

Pushing the lever aft will extend the speed brakes to desired postion, pushing it forward will
retract the speed brakes.

• Left outer tank, in left wing
• Left inner tank, in left wing
• Right inner tank, in right wing
• Right outer tank, in right wing
Aircraft can get a maximum of 23,858 liters (41,289 lbs) fuel on board. Each outer tank can
get a maximum of 1,325 liters (2,293 lbs) and each inner tank 10,604 liters (18,351 lbs).
Outer tanks fuel can be transferred to inner tanks through their transfer valves. The two
valves open simultaneously when any inner tank reaches 109 liters (189 lbs).
A cross fuel valve allow both engines to be supplied by both tank sides.
Each side inner tank is connected with 2 pumps (labelled 1 & 2).
APU is supplied for fuel by left fuel system. If needed APU uses its own pump, directly
connected to left inner tank.

12-14 (ATA 29) - HYDRAULICS

12-14-1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION


The aircraft consists in 3 continuously operating hydraulic systems:
• Blue system:
An electric pump pressurizes the blue system in normal condition. This pump is powered
by AC 1 bus.
In case of electrical failure (on electrical emergency configuration), a pump driven by
a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) pressurizes the blue system.
• Green system:
A pump driven by engine 1 pressurizes the green system.
• Yellow system pumps:
A pump driven by engine 2 pressurizes the yellow system.
Hydraulic fluid can not be transferred from one system to another.
Green and yellow systems have fire shutoff valves in their lines upstream of their engine driven
pump. These valves are normally opened. They are closed in case of engine fire when the
ENG 1(2) FIRE pbs are pushed.

12-16-2 GNS 430 version


The two GNS installed in the trainer are original Garmin GNS 430 and are connected to
the autopilot, but all information regarding the aircraft position and speed are received from
Alsim’s flight model program. Therefore the GNS displays as the aircraft current position the
same position as shown on the instructor station map.

Figure 12.165: Garmin GNS 430

For switching on the GNS, turn the encoder marked ‘C’ in the device top left corner. When
the self test has been completed, ‘ENT’ (on the right) must be pushed twice to activate the
GNS.
The GNS includes, amongst others, the NAV and COM functions.

• Left-hand side: NAV 1 — COM 1


• Right-hand side: NAV 2 — COM 2

The button ‘CDI’ (on the bottom) changes between the modes GPS and VLOC (the active
mode is indicated just above the button). In mode VLOC the GNS works like a NAV receiver
with really existing beacons. The autopilot will no longer work reliably in mode APPROACH
and NAV connected to an HSI driven by the GNS in mode GPS.
The GNS is connected to the autopilot. See Garmin GNS Pilot’s Guide and Reference for a
complete description of the GNS.

• Right-hand side: NAV 2 — COM 2
The ‘CDI’ function is available in the ‘Default Navigation’ page from main menu. It changes
between the modes GPS and VLOC (the active mode is indicated just above the button).
In mode VLOC the GNS works like a NAV receiver with really existing beacons. In mode
GPS, the autopilot can perform LPV and LNAV/VNAV WAAS approaches if autopilot mode
APPROACH is engaged, GPS signal quality and satellites geometry are appropriate for this
flight phase:
• LPV: HAL = 0NM, VAL = 0m, HFOM <= 10m, VFOM <= 10m
• LNAV/VNAV: HAL = 0.3NM, VAL = 50m, HFOM <= 10m, VFOM <= 10m
The GNS is connected to the autopilot. See Garmin GTN 650 Pilot’s Guide and Reference
for a complete description of the GNS.

Figure 12.168: Alsim ADF ‘Bendix King KR 87’

It consists of a digital display, five white push buttons (from left to right marked: ADF, BFO,
FREQ, FLT/ET, SET/RST), a rotary OFF/ON switch and a double encoder for frequency
selection.
Rotating the power switch clockwise from the OFF position switches the instrument ON and
vice versa.
ADF: Switches between ANT mode and ADF mode. In ANT mode the RMI orange double
needle points to ‘3 o’clock’, indicating that the ADF is not working and the ADF display
shows ‘ANT’. In ADF mode the ADF is working and its display shows ‘ADF’.
As the frequency display shows only 3 digits whereas NDB frequencies can use half kilohertz,
an inaccuracy of +/- 0.5 kHz has been built into the system. Example: When the frequency
369 kHz has been selected, the following frequencies will be received: 368.5, 369 and 369.5.
If more than one of these three frequencies should be within reception range, the closest will
be chosen.
BFO: Does not work except for showing BFO in the display.
FREQ: Switches the standby frequency to active and returns to frequency mode from FLT/ET
mode.
FLT/ET: In mode FLT (flight time) the display shows the total time since the instrument
was switched on and an indicator ‘FLT’. In mode ET (elapsed time) the timer works as a
stopwatch and can be reset with the SET button. The display indicates ‘ET’.
SET/RST: With the timer in mode ET, this button resets the timer to zero. The timer will
restart automatically when the button is released.
Frequency encoder: The outer knob, when turned clockwise, increases the frequency by 10
KHz, the inner knob by 1 KHz.

From top to bottom, left to right:

• MIC COM 1 & 2: The messages are transmitted through the frequency selected on
COM1 or COM2 — whichever is on/lit — (this is shown by a ‘TX’ that appears on
related GNS, when a PTT switch is pushed). The light of the related button blink
during the transmission.
• COM1: This button has no effect. (In an aircraft, with the switch on COM 1, the
messages received on the COM 1 frequency could be heard.)
• COM2: This button has no effect. (In an aircraft, with the switch on COM 2, the
messages received on the COM 2 frequency could be heard.)
The next switches serve to choose which message or morse code is heard in the cockpit.

• NAV1: When set on NAV1 the morse code of the beacon selected on NAV1 can be
heard.
• NAV2: When set on NAV2 the morse code of the beacon selected on NAV2 can be
heard.
• ADF: When set on ADF the morse code of the beacon selected on the ADF can be
heard.
• DME: the morse code of the beacon selected by means of the LSK DME button can
be heard.
• SPK: This button has no effect. (In an aircraft, with the switch in position OFF, the
messages or morse codes chosen with the next switches would be transmitted only in
the headsets and not on the speakers.)

MODE 4: UNSAFE TERRAIN CLEARANCE

There are two versions of this mode, 4A for gear up, 4B for flaps up. Mode 4A becomes active
when the aircraft reaches 500 ft after take-off. If the aircraft enters the warning envelope
at more then 190 knots and the gear is not down and locked, ‘TOO LOW TERRAIN’ will
sound and the GPWS annunciator illuminates. If the aircraft enters the warning envelope at
less than 190 knots and the gear is not down and locked, ‘TOO LOW GEAR’ will sound and
the GPWS annunciator illuminates.

SPEED

Mode 4B is active when the landing gear is down and locked, but the flaps are not in approach
configuration. If the aircraft enters the warning envelope at more than 159 knots, ‘TOO LOW
TERRAIN’ will sound and the GPWS annunciator illuminates. If it enters at less than 159
knots, ‘TOO LOW FLAPS’ will sound and the GPWS annunciator illuminates.

Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 31) - TCAS Medium Jet

12-19 (ATA 31) - TCAS

12-19-1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION


The Traffic Collision and Avoidance System provides various visual and audio alarms if there
is a conflict between the aircraft’s flight path and other aircraft traffic. It provides traffic
advisories (TA) and resolutin advisories (RA), i.e., recommanded escape maneuvers, in the
vertical dimension to either increase or maintain the existing vertical separation between
aircrafts.
TCAS receive transponder informations of intruder aircrafts to classify them in different
categories according to their collision probability level:

• Non-threat traffic.
• Non-threat proximate traffic.
• Traffic advisory.
• Resolution advisory.

TCAS is electrically supplied by the DC BUS 1.

12-19-2 COLLISION AVOIDANCE


PROTECTED VOLUME

Protected volume depends on current sensitivity level (SL) determined by TCAS. TCAS uses
these following cases to determining the operating SL:

• When the TRAFFIC MODE menu is set to STDBY position, TCAS is operating in
SL1. In SL1, TCAS does not transmit any interrogations. SL1 is normally selected
only when the aircraft is on the ground or if TCAS has failed.
• When the pilot selects TA-ONLY mode, TCAS is placed into SL2. While in SL2, TCAS
performs all surveillance functions and will issue TAs, as required. RAs are inhibited
in SL2.
• When the pilot selects TA-RA mode, the TCAS logic automatically selects the appro-
priate SL based on the altitude of the own aircraft. Next table provides the altitude
threshold at which TCAS automatically changes SL. In these SLs, TCAS performs all
surveillance functions and will issue TAs and RAs, as required.

CPA (Closest Point of Approach): This is the predictive conflict point.

Tau: TCAS primarily uses time-to-go to CPA rather than distance to determine when a
TA or an RA should be issued. The time to CPA is called the range tau and the time to
co-altitude is called the vertical tau. Tau is an approximation of the time, in seconds, to CPA
or to the aircraft being at the same altitude. The range tau is equal to the slant range (nmi)
divided by the closing speed (knots) multiplied by 3600. The vertical tau is equal to the alti-
tude separation (feet) divided by the vertical closing speed of the two aircraft (feet/minute)
times 60.

DMOD (Distance MODification): A problem with this simple definition of tau is that
in encounters where the rate of closure is very low, an intruder aircraft can come very close in
range without crossing the range tau boundaries and thus, without causing a TA or an RA to
be issued. To provide protection in these types of encounters, a modified definition of range
tau is used. At larger ranges and higher closure rates these boundaries are essentially equal to
those defined by the basic tau concept. However, at close ranges and at slower closure rates
the modified tau boundaries converge to a non-zero range called DMOD. This modification
allows TCAS to issue TAs and RAs at or before the fixed DMOD range threshold in these
slow-closure-rate encounters. The value of DMOD varies with the different sensitivity levels.

RA INHIBITION SITUATIONS

RA is automatically inhibited in theses following cases:

• When stall warning is activated. All RA are transformed into TA.


• When GPWS warning is activated. All RA are transformed into TA.
• When WINDSHEAR warning is activated. All RA are transformed into TA.
• When Radio altimeter value is below 1000 ft.
• When TCAS is failed.
• When TCAS is not electrically supplied.

Moreover, if priority alarm is generated, i.e., stall or GPWS or windshear, then all TCAS oral
alarms are inhibited.

To alert pilot and copilot of a potential traffic collision, TCAS generates three kinds of
annunciators on each PFD’s artifical horizon:

• A yellow TRAFFIC TEST annunciator in left upper corner of ADI when TCAS is in
self test mode.

12-19-5 MFD MENU


TCAS MODE menu is used to select theses different TCAS modes:

• OFF: TCAS is electrically off.


• TEST: TCAS performs internal self test during few seconds. During test, each kind of
geometric symbols is displayed on HSIs. And at the end of the test, an aural message
is generated depending of success or failure of self test.
• STDBY: Power is applied to the TCAS Processor, but TCAS does not issue any
interrogations and the transponder will reply to only discrete interrogations. This
mode is usually used during ground operations.
• TA: TCAS will operate normally and issue the appropriate interrogations and perform all
tracking functions. However, TCAS will only issue TAs, and the RAs will be inhibited.
This mode is usually used during takeoff/departure or arrival/landing flight phases.
• TA/RA: TCAS will operate normally and issue the appropriate interrogations and per-
form all tracking functions. TCAS will issue TAs and RAs, when appropriate.

If TCAS is not power supplied then the symbol "- - -" is displayed instead current selected
TCAS mode.

TCAS TRAFFIC menu is used to select theses different vertical scan ranges:

• NORMAL: TCAS scans between -2700 ft and +2700 ft relative to the current own
aircraft altitude.
• BELOW: TCAS scans between -9900 ft and +2700 ft relative to the current own
aircraft altitude.
• ABOVE: TCAS scans between -2700 ft and +9900 ft relative to the current own
aircraft altitude.
• EXPAND: TCAS scans between -9900 ft and +9900 ft relative to the current own
aircraft altitude.

If TCAS is not power supplied then the symbol "- - -" is displayed instead current selected
TCAS traffic vertical scan range.

12-19-6 TRAFFIC DISPLAY SYMBOLOGY


Intruder aircrafts are depicted using geometric symbols, depending on their threat status, as
follows:

• An unfilled cyan diamond, (not the same color as the own aircraft symbol), is used to
depict non-threat traffic.
• A filled cyan diamond, (not the same color as the own aircraft symbol), is used to
depict Proximate Traffic. Proximate Traffic is non-threat traffic that is within 6 nm
and 1200 ft from own aircraft.
• A filled yellow circle is used to display intruders that have caused a TA to be issued.
• A filled red square is used to display intruders that have caused an RA to be issued.

Figure 12.215: Traffic displayed during TCAS test mode (HSI arc)

Each symbol is displayed on the screen according to its relative position to own aircraft.

Vertical speed information and altitude information are also provided for all displayed traffic
that are reporting altitude. Relative altitude is displayed in hundreds of feet above the symbol
if the intruder is above own aircraft and below the symbol if the intruder is below own aircraft.
When the intruder is above the own aircraft, the relative altitude information is preceded by
a + sign. When the intruder is below the own aircraft, a - sign precedes the relative altitude
information. In some aircraft, the flight level of the intruder can be displayed instead of its
relative altitude. The flight level is shown above the traffic symbol if the intruder is above
the own aircraft and below the traffic symbol is the intruder is below the own aircraft. If the
intruder is not reporting its altitude, no altitude information in shown for the traffic symbol.
The altitude information is displayed in the same color as the aircraft symbol.

An arrow is displayed immediately to the right of a traffic symbol when the target aircraft
is reporting its altitude and is climbing or descending at more than 600 fpm. An up arrow
is used for a climbing aircraft; a down arrow is used for a descending aircraft. The arrow is
displayed in the same color as the aircraft symbol.

RESOLUTION ORDERS

The RA display provides the pilot with information on the vertical speed to fly or avoid to
resolve an encounter. The RA display is implemented on a vertical speed tape that is part of
a Primary Flight Display (PFD). The implementations use red and markings to indicate the
vertical speeds to be avoided (red) and the desired vertical speed to be flown (green):

(ATA 31) - WEATHER RADAR Medium Jet

12-21 (ATA 31) - WEATHER RADAR

12-21-1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION


Color displayed on weather page depends on the amount of radar echo returned by environ-
ment. So it depends on the intensity of the precipitation (droplets size and number) but also
on the type of precipitation (droplets composition). These following elements are ordered
from least reflective to most reflective:

• Drizzle
• Dry snow
• Ice crystals
• Dry hail
• Wet snow
• Rain
• Wet hail
• Ground clutter

CAUTION
The radar does not detect clouds, fog, wind, clear air
turbulence, windshear, sandstorms and lightning.

Weather radar is electrically supplied by the DC BUS 2.

Weather radar integrates theses following functions:

• Auto stabilization (+/-30° pitch and +/-30° roll)


• Auto gain control (always on)
• Self test function
• Manual tilt selection (from 15° pitch down to 15° pitch up)
• Manual range selection (5NM, 10NM, 20NM, 40NM, 80NM, 160NM or 320NM)
• Manual bearing selection (from 30° left to 30° right)
• Manual scan angle selection (20°, 40°, 80° or 120° of aperture)

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-383


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 31) - WEATHER RADAR Medium Jet

12-21-2 SELF-TEST FUNCTION


Before to proceed self-test procedure, verify that alternators, avionic master and electrical
buses are in nominal use. Then follow this procedure:

• Place weather radar in test mode.


• Observe indicator display for correct display, colors and absence of blooming.
• View test pattern.
• Verify correct test pattern like this picture:

Figure 12.222: Weather radar self-test mode

• Observe scan throughout the entire range.

NOTE
During self-test procedure, no microwave energy is
emitted.

(ATA 31) - WEATHER RADAR Medium Jet

12-21-3 ANTENNA TILT


Antenna tilt should be adapted to the selected scan range. In most cases in flight, the
adequate antenna tilt setting shows some ground returns at the top edge of the weather
page:

Figure 12.223: Weather radar ground echos

However, at takeoff, or in climb, the tilt should be set up if adverse weather is expected above
the aircraft. The antenna tilt must be set adjusted as the flight progresses, in relation to the
aircraft’s altitude, the expected weather and the weather page range selection.
When flying towards a cell, the flight crew can get an estimate of the vertical expansion of
the cloud above/below the aircraft altitude with the following formula:

h ∼ d × T ilt × 100
(f eet) (N M ) (degrees)

For example, an echo disappearing at 40 NM with 1° tilt down has a top located 4,000 ft
below the aircraft level:

Figure 12.224: Height according distance and tilt

12-21-4 DISPLAY RANGE


To avoid a large storm, the pilot must make decision while still in safety distance before the
detected significant weather. Therefore, the pilot should select the adequate range on the
weather page.

Course changes to avoid adverse weather, should be determined using both higher and lower
ranges. This technique prevents the ’blind alley’ effect: A course change that may seem safe
when using a low scan range may reveal a blocked passage when observed at a higher scan
range.

As indicated in previous sub-section, antenna tilt should be adapted to range selection. To


cover the whole area shown on the weather instrument, the weather radar must have a slightly
negative antenna tilt in order to avoid overscanning. A correct setting whill show some ground
return at the top edge of the weather instrument.

A typical example of recommendations that could be provided, for radars not fitted auto-
tilt or auto-scanning function, is as follows:

12-21-5 BEARING SELECTION


Manual bearing selection allows pilot to modify horizontal scan heading center reference. By
default horizontal reference centerline is aligned with aircraft longitudinal axis (i.e. aircraft
heading). Pilot can apply an offset (30° left or 30° right) around this centerline to inscrease
left side or right side radar scan area.

This feature, can typically be used, to anticipate left or right turns, or significant change
of aircraft trajectory.

12-21-6 AZIMUTH SCAN ANGLE SELECTION


Weather radar system offers the possibility to select azimuth scan aera. Selecting the re-
quired sector, restricts the radar beam’s scan to only 120°, 60°, 40°, or 20° and allows faster
updates on rapidly changing areas of weather. This provides the crew with possibility for
better concentration on the aera of interest on the display.

12-21-7 RADAR ATTENUATION


Weather radar display depends on signal returns by ambiant weather precipitations. Heavy
precipitation reflects more microwaves, so the major part of the signal can be reflected by
the frontal part of the precipitation. The aft part returns weak signals, that are displayed as
green or black areas (also named shadows). This black hole behind a red area on a weather
radar display should always be considered as a zone that is potentially very active.

Figure 12.230: Weather radar attenuation

12-21-8 WARNING MESSAGES


These following messages could be displayed on MFD warnings list system:

• WEATHER RADAR OFF: Appears in amber when weather radar is manually set to
OFF mode. This message doesn’t generate a master caution.
• WEATHER RADAR FAULT: Appears in amber when weather radar is failed. This
message generate a master caution.
• WEATHER RADAR STAB LIMIT: Appears in amber when weather radar auto stabi-
lization attains pitch or roll angle limitations. This message generate a master caution.

The oxygen system consists in 2 separate oxygen supply systems:

• The crew oxygen supply system:


The crew masks are always supplied with air from the outside that may be mixed when
needed with pure oxygen. The crew oxygen supply system consists in a high-pressure
cylinder filled with oxygen and connected to a pressure regulator that delivers into
crew’s masks oxygen mixed with external air at a pressure suitable for users. The
delivery of oxygen is automatically engaged when cabin pressure exceeds 14,000 ft and
doesn’t stop until exhausted.
The two oxygen masks are stored on the hooks next to the pilot’s and copilot’s seats.
The masks can be connected to the intercom panel, but not to an oxygen supply.

Figure 12.239: Oxygen mask

• The passenger oxygen supply system consists in an electrical latching mechanism that
opens automatically to allow the passengers oxygen masks to drop if the cabin pressure
exceeds 14,000 ft.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) allows to provide air and electrical power to the aircraft.
It consists in a turbine compressor engine. The APU can be used on ground vice external
ground air supply and ground power unit. The APU can be used in flight to restart engines
in emergency procedures or to backup electrical system and bleed air system.
The APU uses DC Bat bus electrical power to start. Once started, it provides air bleed and
electrical power to the aircraft. APU gets fuel by left wing fuel system. If wings pumps
cannot supply the APU (left pumps inoperative and cross fuel valve closed or right pumps
inoperative), the APU uses its own fuel pump, directly connected to left fuel tank.

12-28-1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ALX is equipped by two simulated high bypass ratio turbofan engines.

Figure 12.243: Alsim simulated turbofan description

• Fan: the fan pre-compress the air entering the engine. Air is also taken at this stage
(in the bypass) for cooling purposes by the bleed and air conditioning systems.
• Low Pressure (LP) compressor: the LP compressor is connected to the LP turbine.
The LP rotor speed is called N1. Hot air is taken at this compressor stage by the bleed
system.
• High Pressure (HP) compressor: the HP compressor is connected to the HP turbine.
The HP rotor speed is called N2. Hot air is taken at this compressor stage by the
bleed system. The electrical generator is driven at this stage by an Integrated Drive
Generator (IDG).
• Combustion chamber: the combustion chamber receives fuel and is fitted with igniters.
Igniters are used during the start phase and may be used after start to maintain
combustion (continuous ignition mode).

THROTTLES

Figure 12.244: Alsim Medium Jet throttle

Rev. 2.2 © 2018 ALSIM - All Rights Reserved 12-424


Aircraft Systems ALX Flight Manual
(ATA 70) - ENGINE Medium Jet

There is one thrust lever for each engine. Pushing the thrust lever forward increases thrust to
CL or TOGA mode. The thrust lever can be pulled back until IDLE, where it will be blocked
by the reverse lever.
In order to obtain reverse thrust, pull up the reverse lever. Pulling back the thrust and reverse
levers increases reverse thrust.
There is a red button on the side of both thurst lever handles.
Pushing this button will

• disengange the autopilot


• display the flight director guidance bars for a 7° climb

The resistance of the levers can be adjusted by means of the friction control on the pedestal
right-hand side panel: turning the wheel forward (=clockwise) will increase friction, turning
it aft will reduce friction.
