Instruments Flashcards
During normal operations, which flight instrument receives information directly from the ADC?
Pilot’s altimeter by ADC#1 and co-pilot’s by ADC#2
What information does the #1 ADC receive?
Pitot, static, temperature, altimeter setting, encoding altitude, altitude selection, overspeed, HSI selection #1 Nav Data
What does the HSI SEL switch do?
Couples the HSI selected side and the ADC to the autopilot
What is the indication of an ADC failure?
A flag will appear on the affected altimeter.
What action should be taken if an ADC fails?
Switch HSI SEL to the other side
What are the standard operating modes for the AHRS?
Normal for Attitude, Slaved for heading
What are the reduced operating modes of the AHRS?
Basic for Attitude, DG for Heading
What is the BASIC mode of AHRS?
Attitude information not corrected for acceleration
What are the limitations for take-off in reduced operating mode of the AHRS?
Not Approved - Prohibited
What action should be taken in the event of an ATT failure?
Engage ATTITUDE REVERSION by pushing ATT REV on the EFIS Controller
What happens when you engage ATT REV on the EFIS Controller?
Attitude information is displayed on the EADI from the cross-side and the opposite side ATT1 or ATT2 is displayed on the reverted EADI
What action should be taken in the event of a HDG failure?
Engage Heading Reversion by pushing HDG REV on the EFIS controller
What happens when you engage HDG REV on the EFIS Controller
Heading information is displayed on the EHSI from the cross-side and the opposite side MAG1 or MAG2 is displayed on the reverted EHSI
Where does the standby altimeter receive static pressure from?
Pilot Static Source or Alternate Static Source (depending on MOD)
What does the alternate static selector do?
Provides an Alternate Static Source for either the Pilot or Co-pilot
