Your aircraft and an intruding traffic are both TCAS II equipped. Your TCAS can generate:
During a climb, both the pitot inlet and its drain become blocked while the static ports remain clear. The trapped total pressure produces a falsely increasing airspeed indication. If the pilot responds by slowing the aircraft to reduce that indication, what is the principal risk?
Given: Pt: total pressure, Ps: static pressure, Pd: dynamic pressure. The altimeter is fed by:
For a non-zero true airspeed, TAS equals equivalent airspeed (EAS) when the ambient air density is:
Given: Zp = pressure altitude, Zd = density altitude. CAS can be obtained from the following data:
The gyromagnetic compass torque motor:
The elements which take part in the local vertical alignment of an inertial strap-down unit are:
After having programmed your flight director, you see that the indications of your ADI (Attitude Director Indicator) are as represented in diagram N°1 of the appended annex. On this instrument, the command bars indicate that you must:
The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) generates the following sound signal or signals when the aircraft is sinking after a take-off or a go-around:
A capacitance fuel-quantity system with appropriate fuel-density compensation and calibration can indicate fuel mass in kilograms or pounds because:
