Avionics Flashcards
(51 cards)
What color is the active target speed bug
and the active target speed indication when MAN is set on the SPD knob on the AFCS panel?
Cyan
When what color is the speed bug when FMS is set on the SPD knob?
Magenta
The VMAX is computed as the lesser of what speeds?
VMO, MMO, VLE or VFE
What symbol/bug indicates the speed in
which the flaps can be retracted with a safe margin?
The magenta F bug
The tip of the airspeed trend vector points to the projected airspeed/Mach in approximately what timeframe at the present rate of acceleration/deceleration?
10 Seconds
What symbol/bug indicates the speed in
which the airplane is trimmed for when in the landing phase?
The TCS trim bug—a green triangle
Which speeds are displayed for takeoff?
V1, VR, V2 and VFS
When are the takeoff speeds automatically deselected?
When the airplane is above 1,500 ft AGL and the current airspeed is greater than the highest Vspeed + 40 kt
Which speeds are displayed for approach
and landing?
VFS, VAC, VAPP and VREF
What does the flap selection speed bug
(green dot) indicate?
The speed in which the flaps can be extended
In Normal Mode (NM) what colors are the
LSA bands and what do they indicate?
White—VSS—stability speed;
Amber—The airspeed at which the AOA lim
iter function activates;
Red—The airspeed that corresponds with
the maximum allowable AOA
In Direct Mode DM), what colors are the LSA bands and what do they indicate?
Yellow and Red. The red is where the STALL aural alert is triggered
The altitude trend vector is computed to predict the altitude the airplane will achieve in how many seconds (assuming a constant vertical speed)?
10 Seconds
Where are ADS Flag Messages displayed? ( i.e. BOTH ON ADS 1/2/3) presented to the pilot and in what color?
In amber color on the upper right corner of the PFD
When an ADS reversion occurs in the SFIS, how will the pilot know that an alternate source has been selected?
An ADSREV flag is present
What type of guidance will be provided to
the pilots to aid in the recovery of an unusual attitude?
Red unusual attitude chevrons are displayed and they always point towards the horizon line
Where are AHRS messages (i.e. BOTH ON
AHRS 1/2) presented to the pilot and in what color?
In amber color on the upper right corner of
the PFD
What is the Display Control Panel (DCP) used for?
To select PFD formats, overlays, navigation
sources, and range on the displays
What does pushing the CVS button on the
DCP do?
Allows the synthetic vision to be put on or
taken off the PFD instead of the traditional
blue and brown background
What does pushing the FPV CAGE button on the DCP do?
It laterally centers the Flight Path Vector on the PFD when selected. It is only enabled when CVS is active
What does pushing the ET button do?
Starts (first push), stops (second push) and
removes (third push) a timer that is visible on the upper right side of the HSI
What does pushing the TCAS button on the DCP do?
It places traffic overlay information on the
HSI map
What does the WX button do?
It places weather overlay information on the HSI map
What does the RANGE/TILT knob allow the
crew to do?
The outer control (large knob) adjusts the
range and the inner control (smaller knob)
adjusts the tilt of the weather radar
