Q

When ILS is the selected navigation source, one dot of deviation represents ?

A

1.25 degrees of deviation from the selected course. An expanded localizer scale is shown below the Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI). The expanded localizer scale is 6 times as sensitive as the localizer display with full scale deflection representing 0.416 degrees of deviation

Q

During a dual FD ILS approach, an excessive localizer deviation below 1,200 feet AGL is indicated by ?

A

the expanded scale and pointer turning yellow and flashing for the first 5 seconds.
The Flight Mode Annunciators
(FMA) will display a LOC EXCESS DEV message

17
Q

An ILS vertical deviation of 2 dots indicates ?

A

0.5 degrees of deviation from being on glide slope

18
Q

An FMS vertical deviation of 2 dots when ENROUTE indicates ?
.

A

1,500 ft deviation, 500 ft in
TERMINAL mode, and 200 ft in APPROACH mode

19
Q

If glideslope deviation goes off scale below 1200 feet AGL
during a dual FD approach, the pointer and scale ?

A

turn yellow and flash as long as the condition exists. The Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA) displays a flashing GS EXCESS DEV message

20
Q

If a glideslope discrepancy is detected between ILS 1 and ILS 2, or between the navigation receiver output and the displayed parameter, the ‘G’ label turns ?

A

yellow, flashing for 5 seconds then becoming steady.
The Flight Mode Annunciator
(FMA) displays a GS MISMATCH message

21
Q

The Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) compares the output of the VHF navigation receivers with what is displayed to the flight crew. Any
discrepancies are indicated by ?

A

by a MISMATCH message in the
FMA of both PFDs. The source of the message is indicated either by a LOC MISMATCH or a GS MISMATCH message

22
Q

When DME distance is failed, or DME is out of range by what is shown ?

A

, 3 white dashes replace the numeric value

23
Q

DME information is supplied to the ?

A

Audio and Radio System, the Input/Output Processors, the TCAS, the transponders, and the Flight Management System

24
Q

What’s used by the FMS to calculate the BCP ?

A

VOR and DME navigation data, Barometric corrected altitude from Air data Unit provides slant range correction. GPS position, TAS and HDG information.

25
The ADF receivers provide bearing information to ?
the Audio and Radio Management System, the Input/Output Processors, and the FMS.
26
In the ANT mode, the loop antenna is disabled and the ADF bearing pointer is parked at the 90 degree position. This increases ?
the audio sensitivity of the receiver, and can be used to identity a station.
27
How many transponders ?
Two ATC 1 ATC 2
28
Pressing and holding the side key will ?
alternate the transponder between STBY and ON ALT.
29
The radar is controlled by the Radar Control Panel (RCP) on the ?
centre pedestal.
30
The weather radar mounted in the DHC8-Q400 is ?
the Honeywell Primus 660.
31
The Weight-On-Wheels switch places the Weather Radar in a Forced Standby mode (FSBY) when the aircraft is on the ground. The FSBY mode is overridden manually, when necessary, by ?
pressing the STAB switch on the RCP 4 times within 3 seconds.
32
If the radar is being switched from OFF to SBY, WAIT, in white, is annunciated in the upper-left corner of the MFD ND for ?
for 40 to 100 seconds while the magnetron warms up.
33
What’s the normal mode for weather avoidance in reference to gain ?
Calibrated gain (Pushed in)
34
Manual gain control is, however, often used in conjunction with ?
GMAP mode.
35
The tilt of the antenna is displayed in cyan on the upper left corner of the MFD ND beneath the WX mode. The beam width is ?
is 5.6 degrees, or 2.8 degrees either side of the selected tilt.
36
How to turn off Weather radar attitude stabilisation ?
STAB push button on the RCP
37
The SECT pushbutton on the Radar Control Panel (RCP) is the sector alternate action button. The pressing of the button alternates between sectors of either a ?
full scan of 120 degrees or a reduced sector of 60 degrees. The full scan provides 12 sweeps per minute and the reduced 60 degree sector is faster, at 24 sweeps per minute.
