Sys 201 - Flight Instruments Flashcards
The T-6 has the capability to navigate via ____ and to fly ___ and ____ approaches.
VOR; VOR; ILS
Where is the navigation receiver located?
In the right avionics bay
Where are the antennas for the T-6 located?
Vertical fin and on the bottom of the fuselage
What are the types of instruments on the T-6?
- Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
- Air Data System (ADS)
- Standby Instruments
What does the EFIS consist of?
- EADI
- EHSI
- EFIS Control Panel
What does the AHRS provide?
Aircraft attitude, headings, and flight dynamics information to the aircraft systems and displays
What are the three EFIS modes?
- Enroute
- Approach
- Composite
The EFIS approach mode adds what elements to the standard instrument displays?
- Glideslope
- Localizer
- Marker Beacon
When the AHRS is set to DG mode, what does the EHSI become?
The EHSI becomes a compass card with inaccurate heading information
What three EIDs does the ADS consist of?
- ASI
- Altimeter
- VSI
What component of the T-6 gives the EIDs in the ADS their information?
Air Data Computer (ADC)
Where is the primary pitot probe located?
The right wintip
Where is the secondary pitot probe located?
The left wingtip
Describe how the primary pitot static system operates.
The primary pitot tube on the right wingtip and the primary static ports on both sides of the aft fuselage route their dynamic and static pressure information to the Air Data Computer located in the left avionics bay. The ADC uses this data to generate airspeed, altitude, and climb rate information for use by the primary instruments.
What does the ADC not provide?
The ADC does not provide information corrected for temperature, position, or instrument error.
