Q

What is the the purpose of the IAP?

A

The integrated avionics processing system compares the R ADC and L ADC together and decides whether their matching or not.

18
Q

What is a situation we would take off in the DG mode instead of MAG mode?

A

If we were in an area of known magnetic anomaly, we would set it to DG mode and use SLEW to align it with the runway.

19
Q

What is the purpose of the remote compensating unit (RCU)?

A

The RCUs will get rid of turning errors: UNOS and ANDs

20
Q

What is the MFD Page that we should to use while in flight?

A

FMS map, with terrain, and TCAS overplayed over that

21
Q

What will happen to EFIS when passing through 31,600’?

A

Airspeed will be shown in MACH, 1/2 rate of turn will be activated.

22
Q

How can you transition through MFD Navigation displays?

A

The Display Control Panel

23
Q

How do you display traffic on the FMS map display?

A

Ensure the scale is 40nm or below on the FMS map display and then select traffic

24
Q

Where is the top of the low speed cue?

A

1.06 Vs in landing gear configuration

25
Q

Low-Speed awareness cue is located where? And what is it indicated as?

A

It’s a green line that indicates 25% above stick shaker speed

26
Q

When will indicated MACH be displayed above the airspeed tape?

A

When the aircraft accelerates through .45M and when passing through 31,600’

27
Q

When is MACH removed from the Airspeed indicator?

A

When slowing below .40M

28
Q

If a “EFIS COMP MON” is displayed, where do you look to get more information?

A

The PFD

29
Q

Where does the Integrated Standby Instrument Receive it’s power from?

A

DC BATT BUS

30
Q

S3 ports are connected to the ________ and provide static pressure to:

A
  1. The ISI

2. Cabin Pressure Controller

31
Q

ADC purpose

A

Convert pitot static info to electronic signals to produce airspeed and altitude data

32
Q

AHC

A

Attitude and heading computer

33
Q

AHRS consists of

A

2 AHCs
2 Flux detectors
2 Remote compensator units
A compass control panel

34
Q

Location of flux detectors

A

Wing tips.

35
Q

When is DG mode selected.

A

When operating around magnetic disturbances

36
Q

When does AHRS initialization take place?

A

When electrical power is applied to the aircraft

37
Q

What do comparators do?

A

Continually compares its onside AHRS data with the offside AHRS data

38
Q

When a comparator error is detected, what will happen?

A

Flashing amber data message e.g “HDG” “ROLL” “PIT” “IAS” “ALT” “RA” “FD” “LOC” “GS”

39
Q

Amber HDG on PFD is a ________.

A

Comparator Error

40
Q

ISI is powered by the:

A

Battery Bus
