If an AHRS does not have a physical gyroscope, it could have what sort of alternative to provide pitch and roll information?

• micro electro-mechanical switches

• a rotor

• a gimbal

• a magnenometer

A Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) works by;

• radar tracking of aircraft movements and issuing of alerts if a conflict is likely to occur

• transponders in aircraft being interrogated by TCAS equipped aircraft

• TCAS equipped aircraft being monitored by transponder equipped aircraft

• transponders in mode C or S providing data to a secondary radar installation

Modern day Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS) use

• mapping data along with inputs from GNSS and inertial reference units to predict an aircraft's flight path

• satellite tracking fed to a control room, which advises the nearest Air Traffic Services unit of any impending collision with terrain

• satellite tracking fed to a control room, which advises the aircraft directly of any impending collision with terrain

• a forward looking radar altimeter which looks for rate of descent and compares this to a reference airfield

If a one axis autopilot system is fitted to a light aircraft, the most likely axis it would control is

• yaw

• pitch

• roll

When using the autopilot on an aircraft, it is advisable to...

• ensure it is engaged for take off and landing

• ensure it is off for take off

• ensure it is engaged for landing

• ensure it is engaged prior to run ups

A Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) may contain an audible alert to assist a pilot in avoiding a confliction with other aircraft. Such advice is known as a...

• resolution advisory

• conflict information

• avoidance resolution

• information assistance
