Systems 2 Flashcards
What instruments are included in the standby instrument cluster? When might these instruments be used?
- Airspeed, altimeter, attitude indicator, magnetic compass; might be used to provide backup indications in the event of a failure in the integrated flight instrument system.
How do you reset the flight time on the clock to zero?
Simultaneously pressing the FLIGHT TIME RESET button and placing the clock switch to the zero position.
Upon arriving at your transition base, you flew an ILS approach. Now you’re practicing VFR patterns and each time you’re on short final, you keep hearing an aural alert saying “Glideslope, Glideslope.” Which of the following actions allow you to prevent this alert from sounding on every pattern?
a. Press the GPWS TEST switch to inhibit the alert.
b. Press the GPWS TAC switch to inhibit the alert.
c. Press the GPWS FLP ORIDE switch to inhibit the alert.
d. Detune the NAV #1 radio from the ILS frequency.
d. Detune the NAV #1 radio from the ILS frequency.
Which Air Data Computer normally provides airspeed, altitude, and altitude rate information to the GPWS?
ADC #1.
- What are the normal switch positions for the ELT?
a. ELT unit switch OFF and pedestal switch ON
b. ELT unit switch OFF and pedestal switch ARMED/RESET
c. ELT unit switch ON and pedestal switch ON
d. ELT unit switch ON and pedestal switch ARMED/RESET
b. ELT unit switch OFF and pedestal switch ARMED/RESET.
- The green ELT ON light on the pedestal should normally be illuminated during flight.
a. True
b. False
b. False
- TCAS resolution advisories are not issued at altitudes below __________ feet AGL.
1,000
- TCAS relieves the pilot of the responsibility to see and avoid other traffic.
a. True
b. False
b. False
- Ignoring or failing to follow a resolution advisory (RA) could lead to additional RAs in which alert and visual annunciations may not agree.
a. True
b. False
a. True
- You have just complied with a TCAS preventive resolution advisory that directed you to climb, and have received a “Clear of conflict” advisory. Unless ATC directs otherwise, what should you do?
Expeditiously return to the applicable ATC clearance.
- You should consider information displayed on the radio altimeter to be accurate at all times, unless a warning flag is in view in the instrument.
a. True
b. False
b. False
You’re on an ILS approach and the display on the pilot’s EADI starts flickering so badly that it’s nearly impossible to read. What can you do to allow the pilot to continue to fly the approach?
Set the pilot’s composite switch to the EHSI position. Combined heading and attitude information will be presented on the EHSI.
When both the pilot and copilot’s EFIS Master Warning Switchlights are illuminated, pressing either switchlight extinguishes both lights.
a. True
b. False
b. False
During cross-side operations, no comparator warnings are available, and the pilots should crosscheck position, attitude, and altitude with other reliable instruments, such as the standby instruments.
a. True
b. False
a. True
When using the MFD composite mode, which side’s data (pilot’s or copilot’s) is normally used to provide the modified EADI and EHSI displays?
Pilot’s
How do you disable an RTU?
You move the applicable RTU NORM/DISABL switch to DISABL.
You’ve experienced dual RTU failure. After completing the Dash-1 procedure, you determine you need to transmit and receive communications using VHF guard frequency (121.5 MHz). How can you accomplish this?
a. Pulling and resetting the RTU #1 circuit breaker.
b. Pulling and resetting the VHF circuit breaker.
c. Using the CDU to tune the frequency.
d. Communication radios may not be retuned when you’ve experienced dual RTU failure.
b. Pulling and resetting the VHF circuit breaker.
What are the indications of an ADC failure?
Boxed ADC on the altimeter and Mach/Speed Indicator and inoperative flight director vertical modes.
Where do you find the various indications associated with avionics malfunctions?
Refer to Fig. 3-11 in TO 1T-1A-1
What is indicated when a yellow-boxed “PIT” indication is displayed on both EADIs?
Pilot and Copilot’s AHRS disagree in pitch attitude. Aircrew should monitor the standby attitude gyro and select the cross-side AHRS.

Where are the brake pedals located?
a. Only on the top portion of the pilot’s rudder pedals
b. Beneath both sets of rudder pedals
c. On the inside portion of both sets of rudder pedals
d. The upper portion of both the pilot’s and copilot’s rudder pedals
d. The upper portion of both the pilot’s and copilot’s rudder pedals
Which of the following is a secondary flight control?
