Lowest layer surrounding the Earth's surface?

Troposphere (Ionsphere - where HF is bounced)

Dynamic Pressure (q) ram pressure can be calculated by measuring differential pressure:

q = Ptot − Ps

Where can you find baro correction for the air data system? The assigned instruments for Flight Monitoring

EFIS

A voice recorder is used to record the communication of the pilots and the sounds in the cockpit. It is used for accident investigation after a crash

Cockpit Voice Recorder

The transmission starts automatically when the battery of the beacon comes in contact with water and continues for a minimum of 90 days approx. 3000 meters

ULB-Underwater Locator Beacon

True heading is in reference to the geographic North Pole.

Also called true north, or TN in short

It shows the heading and some information from radio navigation systems.

HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator)

What is the aural callout when the airplane descends through the decision height attitude set on the EFIS control panels?

Minimums, minimums, minimums, "Decision height"

What is the override device when the AP doesn't disengage?

Adjustable Slip Clutch

What is the aural message warning of MODE 3 function?

Altitude loss after take-off “DON’T SINK”

Signal of 2 AP channels for the same axis are permanently compared to each other and when a certain difference is exceeded, both AP disengage completely?

Fail Passive

The direction in which an aircraft is moving over the Earth

Track

GPS can calculate the aircraft latitude, longitude, and altitude when the distance is at least how many satellites?

4 satellites

Data link communication which can transfer messages and data between the aircraft and ground. Uses VHF communication system no.3 or satellite system. Downlink - from aircraft to ground Uplink - from ground to aircraft

ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System)

It displays the compass and indications from radio navigation systems?

HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator)

It displays the artificial horizon and the indication from the flight director system?

ADI (Attitude Director Indicator)

During the 5 minutes of the alignment, the IRS performs an activity called?

Levelling

Which page is used to send the actual aircraft position to the IRS for the alignment?

POS INIT Page (Position Initialization Page)

What is the frequency wherein the ATC transponder received/interrogates?

Transmit on 1030 MHz (Receive and replies on 1090 MHz)

What are the warnings when the AP disengage?

✓ Red Flashing Warning Light ✓ Corresponding message on the PFD ✓ Most AC, you also get an aural warning
