1
Q
What is an ADC? What are the inputs?
A
An Air Data Computer
Inputs from the Pitot, Static and TAT probes to computer accurate and reliable instrument readings.
Applying corrections automatically.
Calculates Machnumber
can use AOA probe to help compensate pressure errors
2
Q
What is an RVSM? How does an ADC help?
A
an ADC allows us to comply with Reduced Vertical Sepration Minima. 1000ft speration.
Without ADC aircraft must maintain 2000ft sperartion.
3
Q
What is an ADIRU?
A
Air Data Inertial Reference Unit
ADC combined wiht Intertial reference unit.
4
Q
What are the ADC outputs?
A
Barometric Altitude Barometric Vertical Speed Maximum SPeed Vmo/Mmo Machnumber SAT TAT TAS IAS/CAS Angle of Attack
