What is the highest priority warning

• time critical

• Cautions(Amber)

• warnings(red)

• Advisory messages

why would a warning be inhibited automatically?

• To not alarm the pilots

• So as to not distract the pilots in a critical phase of flight

• so the pilots don't have any loud noises to distract them from candy crush

• Because the warnings don't effect the safety of the flight yet

How will the pilots be notified of a time critical warning?

• all of these options

• A red message on the PFD

• An aural alert

• the master warning light

A ringing bell indicates what warning condition?

• Stall

• engine fire

• Over speed

• The coffees run out

A clacker sound indicates what warning condition?

• Stall

• ACAS alert

• over gear extension speed

• Overspeed

An altitude alerting system gives a warning when you are what altitude away from what is set.

• 100-500ft

• 200-900ft

• 1500-100ft

• 3-5ft

A radio altimeter uses a rotating frequency to gauge its height above the ground how?

• the radio wave comes back with a set amount of decay that is used to determine the height

• It uses the time from when the radio wave is sent out to when it it is recieved

• It records the time between when it sends that specific frequency and when it receives it back.

• This question is way to hard

At what heights does a RAD-ALT fuction?

• 1000-100ft

• 0-25000ft

• 100-3000ft

• 0-2500ft

what is the main difference between GPWS and EGPWS

• GPWS has TCF

• EGPWS has look ahead capability

• EGPWS is older

• GPWS isn't used any more

GPWS mode 4 is?

• Altitude loss after T/O or go around

• Unsafe terrain clearance not in the landing config?

• Below glideslope deviation

• reactive windshear
