Question 1

During a final approach, the flight director system is engaged in the LOC mode (holding of localizer axis). The position of the vertical command bar indicates:

Accepted Answer

The correction on the bank to be applied to join and follow the localizer axis.

Answer

The instantaneous deviation between the aircraft position and the localizer axis.

Answer

The position of the aircraft relative to the Localizer axis.

Answer

The roll attitude of the aircraft.

Question 2

Given: E = electromotive force (emf), Tc = cold junction temperature, Th = hot junction temperature, K = constant. The relationship that applies to a thermocouple is:

Accepted Answer

E = K x (Th - Tc)

Answer

E = K x Tc

Answer

E = K x Th

Answer

E = K x Tc

Question 7

On a TCAS2 (Traffic Collision Avoidance System), a corrective 'resolution advisory' (RA) is a 'resolution advisory':

Accepted Answer

Asking the pilot to modify effectively the vertical speed of his aircraft.

Answer

Asking the pilot to modify the speed of his aircraft.

Answer

Asking the pilot to modify the heading of his aircraft.

Answer

Which does not require any action from the pilot but on the contrary asks him not to modify his current vertical speed rate.
