Subsection 01 EIS Flashcards
A Complete EFIS installation in an aeroplane is made up of?
LH Captain RH first officer ( helicopters are opposite )
A Directional Gyro gives?
Heading information
A Modern electronic horizontal situation indicator will display the following?
Waypoints, ILS steering info, distance to go and magnetic heading
A weather radar image can be displayed on the ND on all modes except?
PLAN
An EADI display of flight director commands are colours?
Magenta
An EADI display showing a moving runway moves down during the final stages of an approach, the aircraft must?
Fly down
An EFIS ADI display will show along with pitch and roll?
Decision height, Autoland, Rad alt and Altitude
An EFIS system ADI displays pitch, roll
Autoland, Rad Alt, Decision height and Slip indicator.
An electronic flight display consists of
Mode control panel, Raster and Stroke generator display, microprocessor and Data inputs
Blind flight problems were overcome by the introduction of?
Both Horizontal and Directional gyros.
Cockpit panels have a matt colour finish, the purpose is?
So that the amount of glare is reduced to minimum
During an instrument approach, the glideslope pointer deflects below the glideslope centre mark. This means the Aircraft is positioned?
Above the glideslope.
During flight ( non-fault conditions) the EICAS system displays on the lower CRT?
Secondary engine parameters
EADI display shows
Pitch and roll attitudes
EFIS systems have two control panels, their purpose is?
One to control the type of EFIS display the other to select the source of information being displayed.
Engine parameters are shown on?
ECAM
If the glideslope pointer is below the centre mark the aircraft is?
Above the glideslope
ILS indications on PFD/ND are shown in?
Magenta
In a basic T configuration?
The ASI appears on the Left and the Altimeter appears on the right
In a commercial aircraft, on the head up guidance system?
The type of information shown on the attitude director indicator is displayed on a transparent plate
In an EIS what does EAD stand for?
Engine and Alert display.
On a basic T display?
The EADI is directly above the EHSI
On a modern “Glass cockpit” aircraft, engine information will be displayed?
On the ECAM
On an EADI the flight director command bars show?
The required path with respect to the actual path.
On an EFIS system the weather radar is shown on?
The EHSI
On an EHSI in weather radar mode, a severe storm would be shown as?
Red area’s with black surrounds
Radio altitude is displayed on an EFIS system?
On the Electronic attitude direction indicator
The EFIS system consists of?
EADI, EHSI and Symbol generators
The LH and RH cockpit displays?
Will only be supplied from the same symbol generator when all other symbol generators have failed.
The MFD can be programmed to show?
Different functions
The two sets of flight regulations that a pilot may fly by are?
VFR and IFR
Typical displays on an EHSI are?
VOR,MAP,PLAN and Weather radar.
What are the basic elements for “ classic T “ format?
Airspeed, Attitude, Altitude, Direction.
What does ECAM stand for?
Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring system.
What does EFIS stand for?
Electronic Flight Instrument System
What does EICAS mean?
Engine Indicating Crew Alert System.
What functions are available on the EHSI?
Full ARC, WX and MAP mode
What instrument includes a display of a rising runway?
EADI
What is the fixed feature of an ADI?
The Aircraft symbol.
What would you expect to see on an EADI display?
Flight director command bars, Slip indicator, Rate to Altitude and Autoland.
Which device of an Electronic Instrument system generates the analogue signals to generate screen displays?
The symbol generators
Which device of an Electronic Instrument system Decodes digital data and produces analogue signals to generate screen displays?
Symbol generators
With radio coupled autopilot, what are the inputs?
ILS and VOR.
