SY101 Flashcards
(19 cards)
Which control surface controls aircraft movement around the pitch axis?
Elevator
The Trim Aid Device (TAD) assists trimming for which control surface during airspeed and power changes?
The TAD senses torque, altitude, airspeed, and pitch rate and computes a desired rudder trim tab position.
True or False? Engine exhaust augments the thrust of the propeller.
True. Exhaust gases are ejected rearward providing thrust which augments that produced by the propeller.
Primary aircraft electrical power is provided by which component of the electrical system?
The generator function of the starter/generator.
Tuning for each of the communications and navigation radios and the transponder is provided by which component?
RMU (Radio Management Unit)
True or False? The VHF navigation system provides VOR, ILS, localizer, and GPS capability.
False. The VHF system provides VOR, ILS, localizer, and glideslope capability.
Primary navigation display is provided by which component of the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)?
Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)
Which standby flight instruments will operate without electrical power?
The standby altimeter, airspeed indicator, the ball in the turn and bank indicator, and the magnetic compass.
True or False? The entire canopy structure is engineered to be protected from birdstrikes.
False. Only the windscreen and front canopy transparency are protected.
Landing gear extension and retraction is operated by which aircraft system?
Hydraulic System
Movement around the roll axis is controlled by which primary control surface(s)?
Ailerons
What component of the ejection seat provides sufficient altitude for parachute deployment?
Rocket Motor
True or False? The magnetic compass is one of the primary flight instruments.
False. The magnetic compass is a standby flight instrument.
Secondary aircraft electrical power is provided by what component?
24 volt battery
Which aircraft system provides automatic temperature and pressurization control?
Environmental Control System
Control of the transponder is provided by which component?
Radio Management Unit (RMU)
True or False? The canopy is hinged at the rear and opens up.
False. The canopy is hinged along the right side and opens to that side.
Which primary instrument provides primary attitude display?
Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI)
In the event of inadvertent aircraft contact with the ground, which component will be activated and generate a radio signal?
The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) senses impact loads and generates a signal on 121.5 and 406.0 MHz.
