    Manual-verified system logic for TRI/TRE checkrides — 653645391-WZZ-FCOM-19May2021

    Smoke Logic: In the SMOKE/FUMES procedure, why is it critical to return VENTILATION BLOWER and EXTRACT to AUTO before isolating a pack?

    OVRD blower/extract can defeat single-pack press.

    SF

    System Fact

    When both VENTILATION BLOWER and EXTRACT are in OVRD, a single pack may not be able to maintain cabin pressure; the SMOKE/FUMES procedure returns BLOWER/EXTRACT to AUTO before selecting a pack OFF.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Isolating a pack with BLOWER/EXTRACT still OVRD can drive unwanted cabin altitude/pressurization issues and mislead crews into chasing the wrong “pack fault” or “pressurization problem.”

    Fire Detection: How does the A320 fire detection system handle a ‘Dual Loop’ failure versus a single loop failure?

    One loop failed: warning stays; both loops: lost.

    SF

    System Fact

    Fire warning triggers if both loops A and B send a fire signal, or one loop sends a fire signal and the other is failed; a fault in one loop does not affect warning, but a loop-fault caution appears with one loop failed or both loops failed (or FDU failure).

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    With both loops failed, you should assume loss of fire detection (no warning reliability); don’t “wait for a fire warning” to confirm—use other cues and act early.

    Discharge Logic: What is the specific ‘Logic Trigger’ that causes the DISCH light to illuminate on the Engine Fire panel?

    DISCH light = extinguisher bottle pressure low.

    SF

    System Fact

    On the ENG fire AGENT 1(2) pushbutton-switches, DISCH illuminates amber when the corresponding fire extinguisher bottle has lost pressure.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    DISCH confirms bottle pressure loss (discharge/pressure drop), not that the fire is extinguished; avoid prematurely expending the second agent without reassessing indications and timing.

    Hydraulic Priority Logic: When GREEN system pressure drops, which specific systems lose hydraulic supply first due to priority valves, and what is the logic behind this isolation?

    GREEN low P: heavy users are cut to save F/CTL.

    SF

    System Fact

    Priority valves cut off hydraulic power to heavy-load users when system pressure gets low; on the GREEN system, heavy-load users include landing gear/doors actuation (GREEN actuates all gear and doors) and normal braking/autobrake (normal braking uses GREEN pressure).

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Crews may chase “save the system” by cycling gear/brakes during low GREEN pressure; that can accelerate pressure decay and remove what’s left for essential control, while also creating surprise loss of normal brake availability (reversion to alternate braking logic).

    Weather Radar Tilt Management: What is the specific risk of leaving the Radar Tilt in ‘AUTO’ while maneuvering around high-reflectivity cells at low altitudes during the approach phase?

    AUTO tilt can overscan, understating cell threat close-in.

    SF

    System Fact

    Autotilt automatically adjusts antenna tilt to optimize detection and reduce ground clutter (and below 2 300 ft AGL it also biases for short-range detection/PWS scanning); incorrect tilt/overscanning can cause the ND to show only the less-reflective part of a storm cell, leading to underestimation or non-detection.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    In tight vectoring/turning around red returns at low altitude, AUTO tilt can “clean up” the picture (ground clutter management + scan logic) and hide the most reflective core/top cues; crews may commit into a narrowing gap or too-close deviation because the displayed intensity/shape is misleading without active manual tilt cross-checking.

    Unreliable Speed: What are the specific pitch and power targets for an Unreliable Airspeed event during the initial climb (flaps 1, 2, or 3)?

    Unreliable IAS climb: 15 deg/TOGA then 10 deg/CLB.

    SF

    System Fact

    Memory items command PITCH/THRUST targets: below THRUST RED ALT 15 deg/TOGA; above THRUST RED ALT and below FL100 10 deg/CLB; above THRUST RED ALT and above FL100 5 deg/CLB, with FLAPS in CONF 0/1/2/3 to MAINTAIN CURRENT CONF.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Changing config or reducing thrust early while IAS is unreliable can quickly put the aircraft near stall/overspeed; lock pitch/thrust first, then troubleshoot.

    Emergency Descent: During an Emergency Descent, what is the specific risk of leaving the cabin in Smoke Configuration?

    Smoke removal config starts cabin depressurization.

    SF

    System Fact

    The REMOVAL OF SMOKE / FUMES procedure initiates descent to FL100/MEA-MORA while increasing cabin altitude to 10 000 ft/MEA-MORA, and states cabin depressurization starts when descent is initiated.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    If you leave the aircraft in smoke-removal style cabin configuration during an emergency descent, the cabin altitude can rise aggressively (and may be harder to control with reduced pack capability), increasing hypoxia risk and the chance of passenger oxygen mask deployment/pressure-related injuries.

    Terrain Escape Logic: During a GPWS ‘PULL UP’ alert, what are the specific ‘Memory Items’ for the pitch and thrust, and does the autopilot remain engaged during the maneuver?

    PULL UP: full backstick and TOGA; AP OFF.

    SF

    System Fact

    Memory items call for PITCH: PULL UP (full backstick and maintain) and THRUST LEVERS: TOGA; during night or IMC the autopilot is selected OFF as part of the immediate response.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Leaving speed brakes out or changing configuration early can ruin climb gradient; keep speed brakes retracted and do not change configuration (slats/flaps/gear) until clear of obstacle.

    Emergency Descent Logic: During an Emergency Descent, what is the specific ‘Inhibition Rule’ for the landing gear if the descent is initiated due to a structural failure versus a standard rapid depressurization?

    Structural damage: consider gear; if used, slow VLO.

    SF

    System Fact

    With structural damage suspected, the procedure is MANEUVER WITH CARE and CONSIDER L/G EXTENSION; if the landing gear is extended, speed must be reduced to VLO/VLE.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Treating gear as “automatic drag” can overstress the airframe. Extending the landing gear without reducing speed to VLO/VLE, or aggressively maneuvering with suspected structural damage, increases the risk of further structural failure.

    Alpha Floor Protection: What is the specific ‘Logic Trigger’ that causes an Alpha Floor engagement, and under what flight control law degradations is this protection entirely lost?

    A.FLOOR when α>αfloor or >14° nose-up input.

    SF

    System Fact

    FAC triggers alpha-floor when AoA is above a configuration-based threshold (and in CONF 3/FULL the threshold decreases with deceleration rate) or when sidestick nose-up deflection exceeds 14° with pitch attitude or AoA protection active; alpha-floor is lost under alternate or direct law.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Pulling through αPROT can auto-command TOGA at low energy. If in alternate/direct law, crews may expect alpha-floor but it is unavailable, so low-speed events must be managed without TOGA auto-thrust protection.

    Cargo Smoke Protection: In the event of a Cargo Smoke indication, what is the specific operational difference between the ‘Agent 1’ and ‘Agent 2’ discharge logic, and how is concentration maintained over time?

    Cargo smoke: BTL1 fast; BTL2 metered long.

    SF

    System Fact

    Bottle/Agent 1 discharges quickly (approximately 60 s) to achieve initial extinguishing concentration, while Bottle/Agent 2 discharge is flow-metered to maintain concentration for an extended duration (at least 75 min); operationally, the procedure calls for AGENT 2 discharge 60 min after AGENT 1.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Early or unnecessary AGENT 2 discharge destroys the “holding” capability; also expect SMOKE warning to persist after discharge (detectors are sensitive to agent and residual gases), so don’t misread a continuing warning as “agent ineffective” and waste the second bottle.

    Reverser Malfunction Handling: In the event of an ‘ENG REVERSER UNLOCKED’ warning in flight, what is the specific ‘Logic Trigger’ that determines whether the FADEC will automatically command the engine to idle?

    FADEC idles if reverser feedback exceeds 5% deploy.

    SF

    System Fact

    The FADEC automatically selects thrust to IDLE in flight (or on ground) when it detects inadvertent reverser deployment, triggered when thrust reverser feedback position is above 5% deployed.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Treating “UNLOCKED” as purely a nuisance can be fatal if it transitions toward deployment—buffet/asymmetry can appear fast; if idle is auto-selected, comply immediately (idle the lever, speed limits, and LAND ASAP logic) and don’t mask the event with thrust/A/THR chasing.

    Engine Fire Management: What is the specific ‘Verification Logic’ used to determine if an Engine Fire has been successfully extinguished before deciding to discharge the second fire agent bottle?

    2nd bottle if FIRE warning still on after 30 s.

    SF

    System Fact

    Discharge AGENT 2 only if the fire warning remains 30 seconds after AGENT 1 discharge.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Discharging too early wastes agent; wait the full 30 s. Misreading transient indications can lead to unnecessary AGENT 2 use and leave no remaining fire-extinguishing capability for a re-ignition.

    Descent Energy Management: When using ‘DES’ mode, what is the specific risk of the aircraft entering a ‘V/S’ reversion if the FMGS speed profile is significantly exceeded while in a high-drag configuration?

    Loss of NAV makes DES revert to V/S on current rate.

    SF

    System Fact

    When NAV mode disengages (manual or automatic) with DES engaged, the vertical mode reverts to V/S on the current value; the aircraft is no longer guided on the descent profile and constraints are disregarded.

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    A steep inherited V/S can drive a VMO/VFE event and triple click. After DES to V/S reversion, the AP may pitch down to hold the V/S, causing acceleration toward VMO/VFE; speed protection may then temporarily abandon the V/S target to maintain VMAX, creating high workload, missed constraints, and energy instability if not promptly recognized.

    Icing Identification: According to the manual, what is the specific ‘Visual Requirement’ for identifying ice accretion on the airframe before activating Engine Anti-Ice versus Wing Anti-Ice?

    ENG A.ICE is not visual; WING A.ICE is evidence-based.

    SF

    System Fact

    Engine anti-ice must be turned ON when icing conditions exist/are anticipated and should not wait for visible ice; wing anti-ice must be turned ON if there is evidence of ice accretion such as ice on the visual indicators or on the wipers (or SEVERE ICE DETECTED alert).

    OR

    Operational Risk / Trap

    Waiting for visible ice before ENG A.ICE is a flameout trap. Delaying engine anti-ice until ice is seen increases engine icing risk, while delaying wing anti-ice after evidence appears allows wing leading-edge accumulation and degraded margins.
