Question 1

From which source do the pilot airspeed indicator and altimeter receive their primary static inputs?

Answer 1

DADC1

Question 2

The static ports of the pitot-static probes provide static inputs to which of the following instruments?

Answer 2

Navigator true airspeed indicator and navigator altimeter

Question 3

Pressing and holding the PUSH SEL button for at least 2 seconds on the digital airspeed indicator will

Answer 3

Display the true airspeed (TAS)

Question 4

When the airspeed indicator is receiving information from the backup DADC, it should be operated in __________ mode(s).

Answer 4

NORM

Question 5

The blinking STBY indicator indicates ______ on the digital altimeter

Answer 5

The altimeter detects a significant difference between the DADC air data and the internally sensed data

Question 6

What does the “A” (interface active indicator) indicate?

Answer 6

The altimeter is getting corrected static pressure from the corresponding airspeed indicator
