VOR
For ILS operation, the _____________ frequency is entered on the RMU as the primary navigation frequency
localizer
The DME system measures the time required for the transmitted signal to reach ground station and return, and calculates a ____________ distance in nautical miles from the aircraft to the ground station.
slant range
When a navigation facility with DME capability is tuned in the RMU, the DME information is provided ____________.
automatically to the EHSI
DME information displayed on the EHSI includes slant range distance, time-to-go to the station and _____________.
groundspeed
When DME hold is activated, the words “DME HOLD” will display on the ___________ below the primary nav frequency.
RMU
Controllers will assign the same Mode A transponder code to all aircraft under their control
False
Any aircraft within line of sight and equipped with a transponder set to the same code as either the ground station’s or airborne interrogation system’s query responds __________ with a coded signal to the system interrogation it
automatically to the EHSI
When you are requested to “SQUAWK ALTITUDE”, you press the mode select switch on the right side of the field to change the mode from “ON” to “___________”
ALT
When requested to “IDENT”, press the “IDT” button on the RMU. The ident signal will transmit for ________and then return to the previous mode.
20 seconds
TAS traffic warnings and advisories are displayed on the alternate engine data display (AEDD) in both cockpits.
False
TAS range selections are 3, 5, 10, 20 and ______ NM
40
Proximity traffic is displayed as a filled white diamond indicating the intruding aircraft is within +/- __________ feet relative altitude
1200
In Above mode, traffic from 9000 feet above to 2700 feet below the aircraft is displayed
False
The front cockpit GPS unit must be on and functioning for either the front or rear unit to be used
True
The information on the right side of the Self Test display of the GPS should usually be correct since it is stored in ____________ memory
battery-backed
If on the first GPS system self-test attempt, TEST FAIL replaces ANNUN ON on the Self Test display, you must notify maintenance
False
The large outer knobs on the left and right sides of the panel are used to select the _________ for the left and right sides of the screen respectively (GPS)
page types
To change an item on a displayed page, first press the CRSR button, then use the __________ knob to move the cursor to the field to be changed.
outer
To declutter a display, you would press the _________ button
CLR
The GPS can store up to ___________ flight plans in memory each of which can contain up to __________ waypoints
25; 30
The DME system displays ____________ from the aircraft to the ground station
slant range distance in nautical miles
When the GPS first activates, the screen will display the __________ page as the default page for the left side of the display, and the right side will display the waypoint page for the last active waypoint
NAV 2
The 360 degree radial of each VOR station is oriented to __________
magnetic north
Automatic altitude reporting is provided by the transponder mode ____________
C
When the NAV source on the EHSI reads LOC and a glideslope signal is being received, a __________ will be presented on the right side of the instrument
glideslope scale and pointer
To use DME from one navigation facility while on approach to another facility, you should __________ before switching the primary navigation frequency to the approach facility
press the DMEH button on the RMU
To transmit a special pulse to aid in immediate identification on a controller’s scope, you press the ________ button on the RMU
IDT
An advantage of the GPS flight plan function is that desired routes can be created before flight
True
TAS detects and tracks other aircraft by interrogating their transponders and the analyzing the replies to determine range, bearing and relative __________
altitude
What types of traffic does the TAS track?
The system provides two levels of warning, proximate traffic and traffic advisory. It also tracks ‘other traffic’ which is not considered a threat.
How is proximity traffic indicated and at what are the parameters?
Proximity traffic is displayed as a filled white
diamond indicating the intruding aircraft is within
±1200 feet relative altitude and within 5 NM
range, but not considered a threat.
How and when are Traffic Advisories showed on the TAS?
Traffic advisories (TA) are shown as a filled yellow circle. TAS displays a TA when the time to closest point of intruder aircraft approach is 15 to 30 seconds.
What are the two Sensitivity Levels for the TAS?
Sensitivity Level A & B
When is the TAS in sensitivity level A?
TAS is in Sensitivity Level A when the landing gear is extended.
When is the TAS in sensitivity level B?
TAS is in Sensitivity Level B when the landing gear is retracted.
In TAS mode B when will a TA will be issued?
- if current closing rate with intruder aircraft is maintained, vertical separation of less than 800 feet will occur in 30 seconds;
- Vertical separation from intruder is less than 800 feet and horizontal separation is less than 0.55 NM;
- Horizontal separation from non-altitude reporting intruder is within 20 seconds or 0.55 NM.
When will a TA will be issued in TAS mode A?
- If TAS calculates that if current closing rate with intruder aircraft is maintained, vertical separation
of less than 600 feet will occur in 20 seconds; - Vertical separation from intruder is less than 600 feet and horizontal separation is less than 0.2
