Answer 19

YES

Question 20

Answer 21

Angular rates of rotation about a single axis

Question 22

Answer 22

CYAN

Question 23

SVS

Answer 23

Synthetic Visual System-terrain database that creates a 3D view of the outside world

Question 24

Gain program

Answer 24

Increases the scale of the localizer display on ILS approach

Question 25

Mode 1

Answer 25

Excessive descent rate.
Sink Rate produced when altitude gets below 2,500 ft AGL. SHOULD THE SINK RIGHT INCREASE, OR ALTITUDE DECREASES WARNING CHANGES TO ‘PULL UP’

Question 26

Mode 2

Answer 26

Excessive terrain closure rate.
Initially Warns crew with ‘Terrain, terrain’
2 modes
2a- active during climb out, cruise and initial approac (no flaps)
2b, automatically selected when aircraft enters landing configuration

Question 27

Mode 3

Answer 27

Altitude loss after takeoff or go around.
Initial warning ‘don’t sink’, which changes to
‘too low, terrain!’

Question 28

Mode 4

Answer 28

Unsafe terrain clearance. 3 subsections
Mode 4a. Below approximately 500ft AGL. AIRSPEED around normal approach speed, and landing gear not deployed. ‘too low, gear’
If speed increases above landing speed, ‘too low, terrain’ will sound.

Question 29

Mode 4a

Answer 29

Below approximately 500ft AGL. AIRSPEED around normal approach speed, and landing gear not deployed. ‘too low, gear’
If speed increases above landing speed, ‘too low, terrain’ will sound.

Question 30

Mode 4b

Answer 30

Close to landing speed but no flaps in landing configuration. ‘too low, flap’ - changes to ‘too low terrain’ if speed increases.

Question 31

Mode 4c

Answer 31

Intended to provide assistance, preventing inadvertent controlled flight into ground during TAKE OFF CLIMB.

Question 32

Mode 5

Answer 32

Excessive deviation below glide slope.
Activates when airrafts under 1,000 ft AGL, undercarriage is down and a signal is being received by glide Path.
Warning ‘glide slope, glide slope’ sounds when deviation of more than 1.3 dots below path occurs.. volume increases if 2 or more.

Glide slope warning will be issued anytime between 300 ft and 50 ft RA and a glide slope deviation exceeding half scale deflection below

Question 33

Mode 6

Answer 33

Excessive Bank angle, and altitude alerts.

Aural altitude callouts when the aircraft is descending. Determined by radar altimeter settings

Question 34

Mode 7

Answer 34

Windshield alert. System has a wind speed envelope that categorizes up and down drafts with head and tailwinds

Question 35

TCAS Traffic Advisory

Answer 35

TA region also known as ‘caution region’
Traffic advisory warning issued when intruder is approximately 30 to 45 seconds from ‘collision area’
Represented by SOLID YELLOW CIRCLE.

Question 36

TCAS Resolution Advisory

Answer 36

RA issued when target within 25 seconds, and has relative altitude less than plus or minus 900 ft.
This is Visual and Audible, might also include directives such as climb climb, or ‘descend descend’.

RA displayed as solid red square.

Question 37

TCAS DISPLAY

Answer 37

Non intruding traffic- altitude unknown. Open diamond in white or cyan.

Proximity traffic Solid White diamond or cyan.

Traffic Advisory. Solid amber circle

Resolution Advisory. Solid red square

Question 38

Take off configuration warning system

Answer 38

Take off configuration warning system is armed when the aircraft is on the ground and when either throttles, or both are advanced for takeoff.
