They can fail rapidly and suddenly

They are more responsive to changing aerodynamic conditions

They are not able to prevent stalling and spinning

They are heavier and less reliable than traditional systems

Which statement is correct regarding the computers used in an Electronic Flight Control System (fly by wire system)?

Each one of the computers has a specific function.

Only one computer is used for all functions.

Two computers are used. The primary computer is active and the secondary computer acts as a standby.

To manage the in-flight entertainment system

To control the engine start-up and shutdown process

To monitor the cabin temperature and air pressure

What is the purpose of the Control/Display Unit (CDU) in the FMS?

To provide a means for the crew to communicate with the FMC

To control the aircraft's landing gear

To monitor the weather conditions during the flight

What is the purpose of the Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) in the FMS?

To transmit pilot input signals as serial digital data

To provide a means for the crew to communicate with the FMC

To manage the aircraft's fuel consumption

To control the aircraft's navigation system

What is the purpose of the navigational database in the FMC?

To store information concerning airports, standard flight routes, and nav aid data

To manage the aircraft's communication with air traffic control

To control the aircraft's autopilot system

To provide information on the aircraft's weight and balance

What is the purpose of the Operational Software in the FMC?

To define the part of a computer program that varies for different aircraft configuration or changes for each different airline

To provide continual information on locations, routes, and height

To help pilots plan routes by providing information regarding airports and ATC frequencies

To update the FMC database every 28 days

How is the FMC database typically updated?

Using a portable data loader or a disc

Why does an Inertial Reference System (IRS) not need a flux valve to calculate the magnetic heading?

Variations of Earth's magnetic field are known by the computer stored in its memory.

Flux valves are not real. They exist only in the movies

IRS uses GPS for heading and navigation purposes

Which is true about the Inertial Reference Units (IRUs) in the Inertial Reference System (IRS)?

It contains all the system components including the laser gyros.

It performs the functions of the Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU).

It performs the functions of the Inertial Sensor Display Unit (ISDU).

It's the main receiver for all GNSS aerials

How does the GPS determine the aircraft position?

By using signals from 4 satellites to calculate the distance between the aircraft and the satellites.

A satellite monitors the aircafts path and sends the measured position to the aircraft.

GPS uses ground based radio stations to measure aircraft positions.

By asking the pilot to estimate the position

Which of the following are Line Replacement Modules (LRM) in integrated modular avionics (IMA)?

Core Processing Input Output Module (CPIOM) & Input/Output Modules (IOM)

Avionics Data Communications Network (ADCN) & Core Processing Input Output Module (CPIOM)

Avionics Data Communications Network (ADCN) & Input/Output Modules (IOM)

Inertial Reference Unit & Avionics Data Communications Network (ADCN)

Which communication system functions does the CIDS have?

Cabin interphone, service interphone and passenger address

Passenger address, ACARS Datalink, and ACARS Voice

Where does the DAU transmit the video signals too, within the Cabin Video Monitoring System?

Multi-Purpose Interactive Display via Ethernet bus.

Multi-Purpose Interactive Display via fibre optics.
