SY201 Flashcards
The electronic instrument displays (EID) receive sensor data from where?
The ADC (Air Data Computer)
Which of the following is a standby instrument;
EHSI, VSI, turn bank or VVI?
Turn bank indicator
The EFIS is composed of what three components?
The EFIS control panel
The EADI
The EHSI
The standby instruments receives its information from the right wing pitot tube, static ports and the ADC?
FALSE, it receives its data directly (raw) from the left wing pitot tube and static ports, and the data is NOT processed by the ADC.
Name all of the standby instruments:
Std by att indicator Std by altimeter Std by air speed indicator Std by turn bank indicator Std by magnetic compas
What are the two modes the EHSI and EADI operate in?
Enroute and approach
If the pitch values approach their limits (40-90* nose up/down) what’s shown on the EADI?
Red chevrons used to show nearest directions to a level attitude recovery
What is the name of the EHSI reference pointer?
The white triangular heading index (lubber line)
Pulling out in the HDG knob resets the HDG bug to what?
Present aircraft heading
If selected, what information does the upper left corner of the EHSI show?
Distance to next selected point, aircraft groundspeed, and time to go to the next point
With the EHSI in HSI normal mode, pressing the MAP button changes the display to what mode?
Navigation map mode
The bearing point select buttons are used to cycle the EHSI bearing pointers though what displays/modes?
The VOR navigation source display
The GPS navigation source display
The declutter mode
That does the course deviation bar indicate?
The centerline of the selected course relative to the aircraft symbol
What is the name of the scale presented of the right side of the EHSI and EADI for ILS approaches?
The stationary vertical scale
What does the VSI show the pilot?
Indication of aircraft in climb or descent
And the rate of descent/climb
The VSI shows climbs and descents in feet per minute (FPM) in what range?
0 - 6000 FPM
Below what Mach is the Mach number window blanked?
0.40 Mach
As altitude increases, maximum operating airspeed will?
Decrease
What is the baro-set knob used for?
To set the pressure settings in the altimeter
What type of failure (electrical, hydraulic or other) can cause the primary flight instruments to fail?
Electrical
What is the function of the red and white barber pole on the airspeed indicator?
It is a velocity/Mach limiting pointer
How do you change the std by attitude indicator?
Pulling and turning the PULL TO CAGE knob
The standby altimeter is operated by static pressure from the primary pitot/static system?
FALSE, it operates from the secondary pitot/static system
Which of the following is NOT a part of the flight instruments: EFIS, Air Data system, standby instruments or environmental system?
Environmental system
In composite mode the EADI and EHSI can both show attitude and heading information?
TRUE
What does the primary pitot tube and static ports provide information to?
The ADC
When will se EFIS provide uncluttered data?
Then the aircraft exceeds +30/-20 pitch and/or 65* roll angle
In what format does the altimeter show data?
Inches of mercury and millibars
The magnetic compass can be used in case of total electrical failure and as an instrument crosscheck ?
TRUE
What will EADI show in case of roll attitude failure?
ATTITUDE FAIL
In NAV MAP mode on the EHSI, which range scales are available?
5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 240, 320 and 1000 NM
The std by attitude indicator will supply accurate information for at least how many minutes and degrees after electrical failure?
9 minutes/6*
If EFIS composite mode is selected, will it affect both front and rear cockpit displays?
Yes
