This week Matt & Andy look at FMGC failures and their consequences. There's little information in the manuals so they both take us though the effects of these failues and some of the issues that can be faced.
The FCU is located on the glareshield, and is the short-term interface between the flight crew and the FMGC. It is used to select any flight parameters or modify those selected in the MCDU. The autopilots and autothrust functions may be engaged or disengaged. Different guidance modes can be selected to change various targets these are speed, heading, track, altitude, flight path angle, vertical speed. the FCU also includes the two EFIS control panels either side of it and we will explain why shortly. The FCU comprises three panels : - one center panel (auto flight control section) which features the controls and the displays associated with the AFS. - and two symmetrical panels (EFIS control sections) located on the left side and right side of the center panel. These panels include the controls to change the displays associated respectively with the Captain and the First Officer EFIS display units. The FCU consists of two identical computers (FCU #1 and #2) and are independent of each other. The computers have separate power supplies, with FCU 1 being prioritised in the event of any electrical issues. FCU1 is for the Captain, FCU 2 for the Copilot. In order to ensure segregation of barometric selections and displays, the CAPT and F/O BARO parameters are controlled, in normal operation, independently by the two different FCU - processors. If both FCUs are serviceable, FCU 1 is active and controls Capt BARO selection, AFS display, AFS and EFIS pushbutton switches FCU 2 controls only F/O BARO selection.
This system is closely linked to the Air Conditioning system which we discussed back in episode 2. If you havent listened to it already it may be worth going back and listening to that first. The main components. The system consists of: - Two Cabin Pressure Controllers (CPCs) - One Residual Pressure Control Unit (RPCU) (if fitted) - One outflow valve, with an actuator that incorporates three motors (two for automatic operation, one for manual operation) - One control panel - Two safety valves. To work out the schedule, the current CPC uses the landing elevation and the QNH we've entered into the perf page of the FMGC, and the pressure altitude from ADIRS. If FMGC data isn't available, the controller uses the captain BARO reference from the ADIRS and the LDG ELEV selection from the overhead panel. The system follows a schedule for each flight which consists of four general functions: - Ground function: It Fully opens the outflow valve on ground - Pre Pressurisation :During takeoff, it increases cabin pressure to avoid a surge in cabin pressure during rotation (we'll talk about whether this really ever happens later) - Pressurisation in flight :It Adjusts cabin altitude, and rate of change to provide passengers with a comfortable flight - Depressurisation :After touchdown, it gradually releases residual cabin overpressure before the ground function fully opens the outflow valve. Scenario of the Week You get a call from the Cabin, they are complaining of a loud noise coming from door 2L (at the back).
