The DBDI’s have 3 lights in the upper right corner. One is green (AHDB), one is amber (STBY), and the other is Red (STBY). What do they mean?
If the Green light comes on, it indicates that the DBDI is using the alternate IRS for heading info.
If the Amber light comes on, it indicates that the IRS input has failed, and that the DBDI is using info from the flux valve. If the Red light comes on the flux valve input has failed.
Why is it recommended that you do not use the runway position feature on the IRS?
An IRS position error is calculated by the FMS based on starting position and the time that the IRS entered the NAV mode. When IRS position is updated, the position error calculation would now be inaccurate.
How do you create a place / distance waypoint?
By line selecting a waypoint into. the scratch pad, typing in the desired bearing then typing in the distance. When this is done, line select this information into the flight plan wherever you want it.
What is the priority for navigation sensor use by the FMS?
GPS
DME / DME
VOR / DME
