What is SRS in Airbus?

SRS (speed reference system) vertical mode provides vertical guidance up to acceleration altitude. At acceleration altitude SRS is automatically replaced by CLB mode, which accelerates the aircraft to initial climb speed.

What does SRS mean on takeoff?

SRS- Speed Reference system. It means that the Flight director pitch guidance will be based on speed, usually V2+10 knots. It is useful as a guide for your pitch on initial climbout. RWY- this is your lateral guidance during takeoff.

What is Toga aircraft?

Take-off/Go Around (TO/GA) is an autopilot/autothrottle setting activating take-off or go-around thrust. Depending upon aircraft type, it may be activated by depressing a switch or by manually moving the thrust levers to the appropriate position.

What is FLS APProach?

The FLS (FMS Landing System) is part of that concept and today, it is an Airbus option offering a solution to fly 99% of approaches that are not ILS/MLS, with a barometric vertical profile. It offers lateral and vertical guidance.

What is auto flight?

An autopilot is a device used to guide an aircraft without direct assistance from the pilot. Early autopilots were only able to maintain a constant heading and altitude, but modern autopilots are capable of controlling every part of the flight envelope from just after take-off to landing.

What does SRS mean in aviation?

SRS (Speed Reference System): Mode used at takeoff, or Go- Around to maintain SRS speed (V2, V2+10, VAPP …). RWY (Runway): Mode used at takeoff to guide the aircraft along the runway centerline, using LOC. FLEX/TOGA: The selected thrust rating.

What is engine out acceleration altitude?

The acceleration height is the altitude that the aircraft transitions from takeoff speed (V2+15/20) to climb out speed. This altitude is usually between 1000 and 1500 feet, but may be as low as 800 feet; however, can differ due to noise abatement, airline policy, or airport specifics such as obstacles, etc.

What is a flight go-around?

A go-around is a procedure that is performed if a pilot is not completely satisfied that the requirements are in place for a safe landing. A go-around is a safe, standard aircraft manoeuvre which simply discontinues an approach to landing.

What can happen when the engines are running on TOGA thrust for too long?

The strong longitudinal acceleration induced by the TOGA thrust may ultimately lead to Spatial Disorientation (SD) of the flight crew caused by a Somatogravic Illusion (SI).

What does SRS do on an Airbus A320?

I recall most of this from school. Perhaps someone actually typed in the A320 could better explain. It is the speed guidance during the Take Off and Go Around phases. The V2 is always that manually entered in the MCDU. SRS is only armed with this condition and flap handle not at 0.

Which is the current engine option of the Airbus A330?

With launch of Airbus A330neo, the existing members of the Airbus A330 family (A330-200, 200F, 300, and MRTT) received the Airbus A330ceo (“current engine option”) name.

What does SRS stand for in aeronautical category?

SRS – Speed Reference System manages aircraft speed by changing pitch during takeoff and GA. Yes, V2+10 is the reference – engine out is V2+10 or current A/S – whichever is greater. Primary inputs are A/S and attitude.

How many tonnes does an Airbus A330 freighter carry?

The freighter has a range of 7,400 km (4,000 nmi; 4,600 mi) with a 65 tonnes (140,000 lb) payload, or 5,900 km (3,200 nmi; 3,700 mi) with 70 tonnes (150,000 lb). The plane utilises the same nosegear as the passenger version; however, it is attached lower in the fuselage and housed in a distinctive bulbous “blister fairing”.
