Which of the following combinations of flight director/autopilot modes is not selectable together?
HDG SEL and HDG HOLD
The auto-throttle and flight director are engaged and the autopilot is off during cruise. ALT HOLD is the pitch command. SPD is the auto-throttle mode. Which of the following statements is correct?
The auto-throttle will adjust thrust to hold a steady IAS while the flight director command bars command pitch to hold the reference altitude
Weather radar returns may be displayed on the EHSI when:
In Map, VOR or ILS with an expanded compass scale selected
On the B767-300ER EHSI displays, either a full or expanded compass scale is available in which modes?
VOR and ILS
On a conventional flight director panel (not EFIS), which of the following statements is correct with regard to the difference between the APP AUTO mode and the APP MAN mode?
APP AUTO mode arms capture the ILS and GS when on an intercept heading and APP MAN mode commands an immediate capture of the ILS and GS with a selected intercept heading and a descent to acquire the glide-slope from above
Concerning a jet transport aircraft flying below the speed of sound -
shockwaves may be present on the wings and fuselage due to local acceleration of the air
In a hydraulic system with an operating pressure of 3,000 PSI, the force exerted by a piston actuator measuring 25 cm x 25 cm is
300,000 lb
The F/O is flying an aircraft equipped with 3 autopilots in cruise.
The autopilot/s to engage are
R or C only
On EADI flight mode enunciators, in level flight in ALT HOLD, if the SPD enunciator on the EADI changes to a blank display accompanied by an aural warning, the likely cause is:
Auto-throttle disengagement
A jet flying a the appropriate speed for max L/D will achieve best performance for
angle of climb and endurance
A Symbol Generator (SG) failure in an EFIS with multiple SG’s will result in
A blank screen, with alternate switching required to restore the display
Selecting a negative decision height (DH) on the EADI will cause:
The DH to go blank and the RA readout to remain unaffected
Which of the following statements is correct with reference to the cancellation of GPWS warnings and alerts when in the excessive terrain closure rate mode and not in the landing
configuration?
The warning is silenced when the closure rate envelope penetration no longer exists but the alert requires a barometric altitude gain to be silenced
With the airspeed window on the AFDS panel blanked, the command airspeed bug is being controlled by:
FMC
The function of the Recall switch in the EICAS is to:
Recall caution and advisory messages that had been cancelled, if the associated fault still exists
