The EMER GEN is powered by a hydraulic system pressurized by an engine driven hydraulic pump. Pressing the LAND RECOVERY p/b switch will:

Supply the landing gear.

Normally recover the AC and DC LAND RECOVERY BUSES and the components for approach and landing.

On the FWD Circuit Breaker Panel behind the cockpit.

Correct! Wrong!

With APU GEN and external powers supplying the network:

APU supplies AC ESS only.

APU is supplying left side, external power A is supplying the right side.

APU supplies AC 1-1 and AC 1-2 only.

Correct! Wrong!

In flight, APU not running, an engine generator has failed. What is supplying the corresponding AC BUS?

Corresponding AC BUS is not powered. APU must be started to recover AC BUS.

The other generator on the same side as the failed generator.

The other side outer engine generator.

Correct! Wrong!

Loss of one generator or TR (except, if lost is due to over current detection) provides:

APU generator required operational.

No effects on flight management.

Loss of the corresponding AC or DC bus.

Correct! Wrong!

According to these indications:

EXT POWER is being plugged and available for use when started.

EXT POWER is plugged, but is not available.

EXT POWER is not plugged and APU GEN is connected.

Correct! Wrong!

On C/B ECAM page, the pilot reads "NORMAL". What does it mean?

There are no CB tripped or pulled.

Electric supply to CB is normal.

No fault detected in Electronics Equipment Bay.

Correct! Wrong!

The main function of the MAINT BUS switch is:

To allow selected ground equipment to be powered without powering the entire electric system.

To allow EXT PWR to supply AC and DC ESS buses and their respective shed buses.

To power the AC and DC systems when the aircraft is on ground.

Correct! Wrong!

During EMER GEN automatic start up sequence:

It is not recommended to push the MAN ON p/b to confirm EMER ELEC CONFIG on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

The MAN ON p/b must be pushed to extinguish red fault light on the EMER ELEC PWR Panel.

Red fault light on EMER ELEC PWR Panel will remain on until the EMER GEN reaches its normal output.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

DC 2 BUS is not powered due to a short circuit.

BAT 2 is faulty.

TR 2 is faulty.

Correct! Wrong!

According to these indications which AC BUS supplies the ESS TR?

AC 1-1 BUS.

AC ESS.

AC 1-2 BUS.

Correct! Wrong!

As shown on this ECAM ELEC page, which BUS is normally supplying the ESS TR?

AC ESS BUS.

AC 2-4.

AC 1-1.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the meaning of this ECAM?

There is an engine generator fault.

There is an ECMU fault.

There is a TR overload.

Correct! Wrong!

When ECAM shows "ELEC ECMU 1 FAULT":

ECMU 1 controls GLC 1 and 2 and you should not reset corresponding generators.

ECMU 1 controls GLC 1 and 2 and you should try to reset corresponding generators.

ECMU 1 controls Generator Line Contactors (GLC 3 and 4) and you should reset generator 3 and 4.

Correct! Wrong!

When the MAINT BUS switch is on:

Only the DC buses are powered.

It is for the purpose of operating the cargo door only.

The electric network supply is limited to Ground Service items.

Correct! Wrong!

The Emergency generator is powered by:

A Ram Air Turbine (RAT).

The Static Inverter.

The GREEN hydraulic system when pressurized by engine 1 or 4 driven hydraulic pump or by a Ram Air Turbine.

Correct! Wrong!
