A320 GENERAL
FAMILIARIZATION
PRACTICE EXAM 140Q
Question 1: What basic �ight-control philosophy distinguishes the A320 family from earlier conventional transport aircraft?
Choices:
1) Digital �y-by-wire control with �ight-envelope protections 2) Direct cable control to all primary surfaces 3) Hydraulic boost with no electronic command path 4) Mechanical control with autopilot servos only Correct Answer: Digital �y-by-wire control with �ight-envelope protections Explanation: The A320 family uses digital �y-by-wire computers to command the primary �ight controls and to provide control-law protections in normal operation.Page 1
Question 2: Which statement best describes the A320 family cockpit design
concept?
Choices:
1) A three-pilot cockpit with a �ight engineer station 2) A highly standardized two-pilot glass cockpit with sidestick controllers 3) A conventional cockpit centered on control columns and analog instruments 4) A single-pilot cockpit with no independent standby instruments Correct Answer: A highly standardized two-pilot glass cockpit with sidestick controllers Explanation: A320-family aircraft use a two-pilot glass cockpit and sidestick controllers, with a high degree of commonality across the family.
Question 3: In ATA chapter numbering, which chapter is normally associated with
�ight controls?
Choices:
1) ATA 21
2) ATA 24
3) ATA 27
4) ATA 32
Correct Answer: ATA 27
Explanation: ATA 27 is the standard Air Transport Association chapter for �ight controls.Page 2
Question 4: What is a main purpose of an aircraft general-familiarization course?
Choices:
1) To qualify a technician to release every maintenance task without further training 2) To replace all aircraft-speci�c maintenance manuals 3) To provide a pilot type rating by itself 4) To provide system-level awareness of aircraft layout, operation, and safety precautions Correct Answer: To provide system-level awareness of aircraft layout, operation, and safety precautions Explanation: General familiarization provides an overview of aircraft systems, layout, operation, and safety considerations; it does not replace type-rating or task-speci�c quali�cation requirements.
Question 5: Which A320-family member is generally the baseline member from
which the A319 and A321 are commonly described by size?
Choices:
1) A320
2) A318
3) A330
4) A350
Correct Answer: A320
Explanation: The A320 is the central member of the A320 family; the A319 is shorter and the A321 is longer.Page 3
