Navigation Flashcards
Where are the VHF antennas
Top of the fuselage
What powers the VHF receivers?
VOR 1 - DC stby bus
VOR 2 - DC Bus 2
Where are the VOR receivers located?
They use the same antenna located on the vertical stabiliser
What powers the ILS receivers?
ILS 1 - DC stby bus
ILS 2 DC bus 2
They are incorporated in the same box as the VOR and so use the same power source
Where is the localiser antenna located?
It is the same antenna as the VOR, located in the vertical stabiliser
Where is the ILS glide slope antenna
Bottom of the fuselage, just aft of the radome
What does the HLD position mean?
Crew can select a different receiver frequency while holding the DME receiver to the current frequency
What frequencies are shown in the nab control box display window?
Upper portion is active frequency
Standby frequency displayed underneath
What is the MEM position of the transfer switch used for?
Used to select a stored frequency
Up to four frequencies can be stored in the memory
What does the amber ACT mean on the nav control box
The actual receiver freq of the VOR or ILS receiver is different from the selected active frequency
What does the amber MEM mean on the nav control box?
A frequency that is stored in memory is displayed in the lower portion
What does the amber RMT light mean on the nav box?
The navigation radio is controlled by a different system such as the FMS
What does the amber HLD light on the nav box mean
A DME freq is being held
Where are the marker beacon receivers located?
The two receivers share the same antenna, located on the bottom of the fuselage, just forward of the main landing gear bay
Which marker beacon supplies audio signals?
Only marker beacon 1 audio signals are supplied to the RCAU and FDAU
What controls the DME receiver?
The NAV 1 control box
What powers the DME receivers?
DME receiver 1 - DC bus 1
DME receiver 2 - DC bus 2
Where are the DME receivers located?
Each has its own antenna, located under the forward part of the fuselage
How is a held DME frequency indicated?
An amber H shows on the upper right hand side of the EHSI
Where is the ADF antenna located?
On top of the fuselage
What powers the ADF receivers?
ADF receiver 1 - DC stby bus
ADF receiver 2 - DC bus 2
Where are the radio altimeter antennas located?
Bottom part of the fuselage, forward of the landing gear bays
What powers the radio altimeter?
DC bus 1
What range can the radio altimeter display?
-20 feet to 2500 feet
What does it mean if the RA displays amber dashes?
The radio altimeter data is invalid
What are the GPWS modes?
1 - Excessive sink rate
2 - Excessive Terrain Closure Rate
3 - Altitude loss after take off
4 - Unsafe terrain clearance in the landing configuration
5 - Glideslope
6 - Altitude call-outs
