Flight instruments/comm systems/RVSM Flashcards
How is PFD and MFD backlighting controlled with the CKPT panel dimmer in the OFF position?
Photocell technology is used to automatically adjust backlighting for ambient lighting conditions.
How many ADS systems are available?
Three, ADS 1, ADS2 and STBY.
The airspeed trend vector shows what the airspeed will be in how many seconds?
6 seconds.
What does a yellow altimeter setting indicate?
The right and left altimeter settings differ by 0.02Hg.
What does the green circle on the airspeed indicator indicate?
1.3 Vs.
What happens to the PFD2 and the MFD in the event the left side PFD fails?
The MFD enters reversionary mode and PFD 2 remains normal.
What is the primary source of navigation in the Phenom 300?
GPS
How many GPS receivers does the airplane have?
Two, one in each GIA.
What is the function of the CPL pushbutton?
Swaps autopilot between the PF and PM.
When in T/O of G/A mode, what must be true for ALT Pre-Selected Mode to arm?
The preselected altitude must be greater than or equal to 400ft. from the aircraft altitude.
During what approach condition will the FD not level at a preselected altitude?
When coupled to a Glideslope or Glidepath.
Where is the data required to operate the Phenom 300 in RVSM airspace found?
AFM supplement 1.
If one ADS fails in flight, is the plane in compliance with RVSM?
NO, two RVSM compliant air data systems, one autopilot with altitude hold mode, one altitude alterter, and one transponder must be operating.
Does an equipment failure of the ADC need to be reported to ATC?
Yes, and a new clearance requested.
What is the maximum difference between the two primary altimeters if planning to fly in RVSM?
+/- 75ft.
