Frontier aircraft familiarization(frontier
2312) Study Guide
four forces of action on an airplane
✔️- lift, thrust, weight, drag
lift
✔️ - upward force keeping plane in the air
thrust
✔️ - force moving plane forward caused by engine
weight
✔️ - force pushing object down due to gravity
drag
✔️- the force that resist the plane from moving forward
Frontier flies Airbus
✔️ - A320, A321, A321NEO, A320NEO
manufactured and assembled in
✔️- Toulouse France, United Kingdom, Hamburg Germany, mobile Alabama
A320/A321 stats
✔️ - 3000 miles, 590 mph, 39,000 feet altitude
A321NEO stats
✔️ - 4000, 521 mph, 39,000feet altitude
aircraft number
✔️ - number is painted near tail and nose, starting with N and ending in FR
A320 AC number starts with
✔️ - N2
A320NEO AC number starts with
✔️ - N3
A321 AC number starts with
✔️ - N7
A321NEO AC number starts with
✔️ - N6
Fuseleage
✔️ - cargo, cabin, apu, flight deck
, engine
✔️- engine 1: left with pilot
engine 2 : right with FO
5 external components of airbus
✔️- fuselage, engine, wings, tail section, and landing gear
APU
✔️ - Auxiliary Power Unit, small engine providing power on the ground. it provides
electrical and hydraulic power, cabin AC, cabin depressurization, heat for wing
antiicing
Fuselage contains
✔️ - cabin, flight deck, APU
GPU
✔️ - ground power unit, supplies electrical power from airport to aircraft when parked
at the gate
gpu is not a component to the aircraft
Engine 1
✔️ - pilot side, left
engine 2
✔️- FO , right side
CEO
✔️- older parts of the plane
main function of the wings
✔️ - provide lift
wing span of Airbus Fleet
✔️ - 117 feet and 5 inches
4 elements of wings (SALT)
✔️ - s: spoilers- speed brakes located on top of each wing, help turn, help slow down
during landing
A: Aileron- help bank and turn, control roll of plane
L: Landing edge slats- at front, they extend forward allowing more air to travel above
wing increasing lift
T: Trailing edge flaps- extend out during taxi and retracted during first few minutes of
takeoff , when extended more air can travel down wing
