A320 Systems Practice Test

The target airspeed on this frame is a __________ speed.

managed selected reference computed

Correct Answer:

selected

Explanation:

In this scenario, the key idea is how the A320 determines the speed the autothrust should aim for. There are two ways: the flight management system can manage the speed automatically along the flight plan, or the pilot can manually set a speed using the speed selector, which becomes the target the auto-thrust tries to hold. Since the frame shows the pilot has chosen a specific speed value on the FCU, the target airspeed is the selected speed. The other terms describe different ways the system might determine speed (managed by the FMS, a computed value, or a reference metric), but they are not the manually chosen target being displayed here.
