Avionics And Flight Instruments Flashcards
How many Air Data Computers (ADC) are installed
2
How many AHRS computers are installed
2
In the MAG mode how long does it take the AHRS system to initialize
30-70 seconds
In DG mode how long does it take the AHRS system to initialize
10-11 minutes
What sends information to the Captains flight instruments
ADC 1
What sends information to the FO’s flight instruments
ADC 2
What sends pitot-static information to ADC 1
Pitot-static probe 1, on the left side of the nose
What sends pitot-static information to ADC 2
Pitot-static probe 2, on the right side of the nose
Which source does the integrated standby instrument recieve pitot-static information
Pitot probe 3, under the left side window, and two static ports on either side of the lower, forward fuselage
Where is the TAT probe located
Under the right, side window
What is Total Air Temperature (TAT)
Air temperature corrected for compressibility and friction
On the ground with the probe heat switch ON, which air data probes are heated
All 3 pitot probes are heated at 50%, while their bases remain unheated
The TAT probe and pitot bases will always remain unheated on the ground
Which air data probes are are heated in flight with the probe heat switch selected OFF
All air data probes, and pitot bases are heated in flight regardless of the switch position
Is there a LOC and GS indication on the integrated standby instrument (ISI)
Yes
The ISI recieves navigation data from NAV 1 only
When will the radio altitude digital readout be displayed
0 - 2,500 AGL
When will the green radio altitude tape be displayed
0 - 1,000 AGL
When will the yellow hashed rising runway indication be displayed on the radio altitude tape
0 - 200 AGL
What does the speed trend vector indicate
Prediced airspeed in 10 seconds
When will the MACH readout appear above the airspeed tape
Appears when accelerating through 0.45 M
Disappears when decelerating through 0.40 M
What does the green line on the airspeed tape indicate
1.27 Vs
Where is the slip and skid indicator located
A solid rectangle just under the sky pointer, aka the brick
