Flight Instruments Flashcards
How many primary pitot probes and what are their components?
2 primary pitot probes (left and right) each one has 1 pitot source and 2 static sources
The alternate static system consists of:
Two static ports and one pitot probe
The _____ provides attitude and heading information to the EFIS
AHRS
If AHRS data is lost, the opposite side AHRS signal and display are selected by using:
The ATTD HDG selector on the Source Select Panel
When should AHRS initialization take place?
Automatically when the battery master is turned on.
What are the components of the EFIS system?
- Display Reversionary Panels (DCPs)
- Electronic Flight Displays (EFDs)
- Source Selector Panel
- Display control panels (DCPs)
If I wan’t to transfer MFD information to the PFD, what should i do?
Transferring MFD information to the PFD is NOT possible.
The panel used to transfer the PFD display to the adjacent MFD is:
the Display Reversionary Panel (DRP)
The Source select panel on the center console is used to:
Select alternate sources for critical system display
What indicates the aircraft drift angle in relationship to a programmed FMS route?
The green doughnut… (drift angle pointer)
Can bearing angle pointers be displayed on both the MFD and the PFD?
YUP
What does a YELLOW “PIT” box by the attitude indicator on the PFD tell you?
The pitch difference is >4 degrees before glide slope capture and >3 degrees after between the two AHRS
Can the weather overlay be presented in all MFD modes?
No, only on:
- NAV SECTOR
- FMS MAP
- TCAS
The FDR records how far back?
The last 25 hours
What is the difference between PFD and standby air data information?
Standby is raw data
If shooting an ILS approach, with only the standby instrument, what are some considerations?
Can only use NAV 1 with it tuned into a valid ILS frequency.
