a prediction of the airplane’s position at the end of 30, 60, and 90-second intervals.
The navigation display’s wind arrow with wind direction/speed is:
displayed if wind magnitude is greater than 6 knots
ROLL displayed in amber in the lower portion of the Attitude Indicator means:
the Captain and First Officer’s roll angle display differ by more than 5 degrees.
The First Officer observes the word PITCH displayed in amber in the lower portion of the Attitude Indicator during an ILS approach.
This means:
the Captain and First Officer’s pitch angle displays differ by more than 5 degrees.
During an ILS approach the Crew observes the “Radio” legend and read out display turn
amber and begins flashing for 3 seconds.
the airplane has descended below the selected minimum altitude
The CDS FAULT annunciation:
is displayed only on the ground.
The NO VSPD flag is displayed:
when V1 or Vr has not been selected or is invalid.
An amber DISPLAY SOURCE annunciation indicates:
a single DEU has been manually or automatically selected to drive all six-display units.
The aircraft receives the following from the ADIRS:
- airspeed
- altitude
- position
- attitude data
The input to the ADIRS’s is via:
The ADM’s, from the pitot and static ports.
There are ___ light sensors in total for the DU’s:
8
The SOURCE annunciation illuminates when:
The SOURCE selector is moved from AUTO.
Automatic DU switching is available when:
The DU switches are in the normal position.
The slip and skid indicator becomes white at:
Full scale deflection
At a bank angle of 35 degrees or more, the bank angle pointer and slip and skid indicator:
Turn amber
PLI’s are displayed when:
The flaps are down.
When a flight mode first becomes active:
It will be highlighted with a green box for 10 seconds.
ASA modes are:
- CMD
- FD
- CWS P
- CWS R
- Single CH
V2+15 remains visible until either:
- flap retraction
- VREF is entered in the CDU
Green V speeds are removed:
At liftoff
The two landing altitude reference bars are:
- white from 1000’ to 500’ above landing altitude
- amber from 500’ to landing altitude
If standard altitude is passed either on climb or descent with the appropriate reference not set:
The QNH box will turn amber.
RADALT will show when:
RADALT is less than 2500 and an amber box will appear for 10 seconds.
Rate of climb or descent will show when vertical speed is:
Greater than 400’
If tuned ILS frequencies disagree:
The frequency display turns amber with an amber line through it.
If MCP course ILS frequencies disagree:
The course display turns amber with an amber line through it.
The GS pointer fill in solid when:
Within 2 ½ dots of the centre.
Excessive GS deviation is indicated by:
Flashing GS pointer and amber GS scale
The LLZ pointer fills in solid when:
within 2 ½ dots from centre of the scale.
Expanded LLZ scale displayed when:
The AP or FD is in LOC mode and airplane is close to runway centreline. 1 rectangle = ½ dot deviation.
At low radalts, excessive LOC deviation is indicated by:
Flashing LOC pointer and amber scale. This also occurs with LNAV armed and LOC not captured.
The rising runway symbol appears below:
2500
The runway symbol rises towards the aircraft at:
200
When passing below the selected BARO alt:
The BARO and minimums display turn amber and flash for 3 seconds.
The main difference between RADIO and BARO is:
The RADIO altitude does not show a line on the altitude tape
The two time critical warnings that will display on the PDF are:
WINDSHEAR & PULLUP
You would expect to see dashes on the PFD when:
The navaid is either out of range or malfunctioning.
Available navigation displays are:
MAP, VOR, APP, PLN.
Which nav display modes can be selected in either full or partial compass rose?
MAP, VOR and APP
Weather radar and TCAS are available in which ND modes?
Expanded and centre map.
TCAS is available in which modes?
- Centre or expanded MAP modes
- VOR
- APP
In PLAN mode, __________ are not available.
Weather radar, TERR and TCAS.
When EXCESS DATA is displayed:
The primary display removes information from the centre outwards.
VSD is available in which mode?
MAP
There are ___ scales on the VSD.
Four.
1. enroute swath
- altitude reference scale
- Aircraft symbol
- horizontal reference scale
The MCP altitude on the VSD is indicated by:
The magenta digital display and reference bug / dashed line.
The BARO mins pointer on the VSD is ___ and turns ___ when___.
Green, amber, the aircraft descends below the selected minimum altitude. It is set by the EFCP (EFIS Control Panel)
Conditional waypoints on the VSD are depicted as:
A dashed vertical line only.
Altitude constraint symbols on the VSD are depicted as:
Triangles on the waypoint anchor line.
The FMC approach glide path angle on the VSD extends ___ nm and is anchored to the ___.
10, missed approach.
The MCP selected V/S displays in which way on the VSD?
Magenta coloured dashed target angle line.
The vertical flight path vector on the VSD is ___ in colour and indicates ___
the current flight path angle as a function of vertical speed and ground speed.
The Range to Target Speed Dot (RTSD) on the VSD is:
Green in colour and indicates where the aircraft will achieve the FMC or MCP target speed.
The 3 degree reference line on the VSD is:
Cyan in colour and is displayed for approaches that do not have a designated approach angle and extends 10nm from the runway threshold.
The decision gates on the VSD are:
Amber in colour and are displayed on the FMC approach glide path angle line or 3 degree reference line at 500’ and 1000’ above the field elevation.
Green terrain on the VSD indicates:
Terrain that is more than 500’ (250’ if the gear is down) below the aircraft.
Amber terrain on the VSD indicates:
Terrain that is more than 500’ (250’ if the gear is down) to 2000’ above the aircraft.
Red terrain on the VSD indicates:
