022.06 Aeroplane: Automatic Flight Control Systems

Question 1

In autopilot systems, the inner loop provides (guidance/stability) functions and the outer loop provides (guidance/stability) functions.

Answer 1

In autopilot systems, the inner loop provides (stability) functions and the outer loop provides (guidance) functions.

Question 2

The stabilisation function of the autopilot is a closed control loop between the (control stick/FMC)​ and the actuator.

Answer 2

The stabilisation function of the autopilot is a closed control loop between the (FMC) and the actuator.

Question 3

When disengaging the autopilot, the function providing a smooth take-over is the automatic (CWS/ynchronisation/pitch trim)​ function.

Answer 3

When disengaging the autopilot, the function providing a smooth take-over is the automatic (pitch trim) function.

Question 4

When engaging the autopilot, the function providing a smooth take-over is the automatic (CWS/ynchronisation/pitch trim)​ function.

Answer 4

When engaging the autopilot, the function providing a smooth take-over is the automatic (synchronisation) function.

Question 5

The definition of CWS is where the pilot has the ability to make inputs to the (autopilot/flight director) by movement of the (normal/alternate) ​control wheel.

Answer 5

The definition of CWS is where the pilot has the ability to make inputs to the (autopilot) by movement of the (normal) control wheel.

Question 6

Considering a flight director of the command bars type, the vertical bar is always associated with the (pitch/roll/yaw) channel and the horizontal bar always with the (pitch/roll/yaw)​ channel.

Answer 6

Considering a flight director of the command bars type, the vertical bar is always associated with the (roll) channel and the horizontal bar always with the (pitch) channel.

Question 7

Three APs controlling the aeroplane for AUTOLAND approaches refers to a FAIL-(PASSIVE/OPERATIONAL)​ system.

Answer 7

Three APs controlling the aeroplane for AUTOLAND approaches refers to a FAIL-(OPERATIONAL)​ system.

Question 8

Two APs controlling the aeroplane for AUTOLAND approaches refers to a FAIL-(PASSIVE/OPERATIONAL)​ system.

Answer 8

Two APs controlling the aeroplane for AUTOLAND approaches refers to a FAIL-(PASSIVE)​ system.

Question 9

A single AP controlling the aeroplane refers to a FAIL-(PASSIVE/OPERATIONAL)​ system.

Answer 9

A single AP controlling the aeroplane refers to a FAIL-(PASSIVE) system.
