ATPL Navaids P3

What are the two alerts which draw flight crew attention to an approach to the stall?

• The flashing of the airspeed tape and an aural warning of "stall"

• The stick shaker and the appearance of the PLIs on the ADI/PFD

• The speed tape changes to red and the PLIs flash red

• The stall warning horn sounds and the stick pusher activates

When and EFIS equipped aircraft with a reactive airborne windshear warning system encounters windshear on approach, pitch limit indicator (PLI) bars will appear on the ADI/PFD to indicate the:

• required attitudes for a 2000ft/min go around

• required pitch attitude to maintain the glideslop

• required pitch attitude to maintain the current altitude

• pitch attitude at which the stick shaker will occur.

Which of the following are inputs to a modern stall warning computer?

a. AOA airflow vane

b. air data computer - airspeed

c. approach and vertical path

d. terrain

e. engine thrust output

f. flap position transducer

g. gear position transducer

• (a) and (e)

• (b) and (d)

• (a), (b), (e), (f), and (g)

• all of them

Which developmental stage of a thunderstorm will PWS detect convective windshear?

• Mature

• Dissipating

• Heavy

• Developing

What two alerts are inhibited on take-off from nose wheel lift-off to 400ft radio altitude?

• Terrain alert, Speed alert
• Fire warning bell, master warning light

• Engine failure alert
• Altitude alert

What are the three time critical red warnings which require immediate crew awareness and corrective action to maintain safe flight?

• Engine failure, Cabin decompression, Uncontrolled descent
• Navigation system failure
• Windshear, engine failure, pull up (terrain)

• Fuel leak

What is correct about the altitude alerter?

• It warns crew of the aircrafts approach to and deviation form the assigned (MCP set) altitude

• It activates within 900ft when approaching the altitude selected on the MCP

• The altitude alerter will warn crew if the aircraft deviates more than 200ft from the altitude set on the MCP

• The altitude alerter automatically adjusts the target altitude based on the aircraft’s rate of climb or descent

What is correct about a radar (radio) altimeter?

• It determines the aircrafts height above the ground by comparing the frequency of the outgoing and incoming signals

• To give a measurable frequency difference at very low altitudes a wide sweep of frequencies is used

• In order to avoid the risk of height ambiguity in a radar altimeter, a low rate of modulation of the sweep band frequencies must be used.

• The radio altimeter operates in a height range of 0 to 2500ft AGL

A ______ _____ light illuminates when the aircraft descends below a pilot set radio altitude

• Glideslope

• Minimum Fuel

• Decision Height (DH)

• Minimum Decision Height (MDH)

Which of the following components are required to provide Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) Mode 1 to Mode 7 alerts and warnings?

• ADF receiver, brake temperature sensors, and cabin pressure controller.

• Radio altimeter, ILS receiver, air data computer, flap position, and landing gear position.

• Radar weather receiver, air conditioning pack status, and transponder mode.

• Flight control surface deflection sensors, fuel temperature probes, and autopilot status.
