In which ways does an autopilot system correct error? - Answers Position and or rate based
How is feedback or follow-up accomplished? - Answers Transducers, actuators and servos
What are the two available modes for autopilot operation? - Answers Manual and Automatic
What is the purpose of the autopilot system? - Answers Maintains a stable aircraft altitude without
constant inputs from the pilot to relieve fatigue
___ provides output signals proportional to the total acceleration experienced by the aircraft? -
Answers Accelerometers
What component provides a means for selecting different flight director modes of operation? -
Answers Flight director control panel
What systems and or components provide data to the flight director system (FDS)? - Answers Air
data, Attitude gyro, and accelerometers
Which secondary component is used by the flight director computer to achieve the various flight
director modes such as VOR and TCAN? - Answers Navigation Sources
The source used by the flight director computer to achieve the various flight director modes such as
VOR and TCAN is referred to as the ___? - Answers Navigation Sources
What is the purpose of a flight director system? - Answers Determine an aircraft's current attitude
and develop commands to maintain or change the aircrafts flight configuration
What provides attitude information, steering commands, and radar altitude? - Answers Attitude
director indicators
Which component moves in conjunction with signals sent from the flight director computer? -
Answers ADI command bars
What is the purpose of a flight director computer (FDC) - Answers Provides independent steering
signals for the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical axis
What senses aircraft movement along the lateral, longitude, and vertical axis? - Answers
Accelerometers
What is the purpose of attitude director indicators? - Answers Display the computed angles of bank
for a standard-rate of turn that enables a pilot to fly an approach, pre-selected pitch attitude or
maintain a selected barometric altitude
Components of ADF system? - Answers Loop antenna, sense antenna, sense antenna amplifier,
control, receiver, indicator
What functions does the Continual Wave/Tone/Beat Frequency Oscillator mode provide? - Answers
Listening to a station that does not carry modulated audio and fine tuning analog ADF radios
What is the purpose of ADF (Automatic Direction Finding)? - Answers Converts incoming radio signals
into relative bearing to a transmitting station
What information does the ADF mode provide? - Answers Relative bearing to a transmitting station
and station identification audio
Which component provides a reference phase (Z) to the ADF receiver to eliminate the possibility of
pointing 180 from the stations? - Answers Sense antenna
What component processes X, Y, and Z bearing info and sends it to the indicators - Answers Receiver
Which mode enables flight crew members to manually hone in on a station? - Answers loop mode
Which component is the bearing antenna in an ADF system? - Answers Loop antenna
What is Multi-pathing? - Answers When the ADF signal bounces off structures and is received by the
antenna at different times and angles causing the ADF needle to behave erratically
Which component is used to obtain the best possible audio reception in an ADF system? - Answers
Sense antenna
What is precipitation static? - Answers Discharge of accumulated static from an aircraft as it moves
through the air which can cause needle to hunt erratically
What is quadrantal error? - Answers When fields created by metal surfaces on the aircraft bend
incoming radio waves prior to being received by ADF
What is electrical disturbance? - Answers When lightning storms cause the indicating needle to hunt
erratically
What international distress frequency falls in the LF ADF frequency range? - Answers 2182.0 KHz
