767 Automatic Flight Best Exam
Questions With Correct Answers
What are the main components of the AFDS? - ANSWER-- 3 Flight Control Computers
(FCCs)
- Thrust Management Computer (TMC)
- Autothrottle system
- 2 FMCs
- IRS
Where does the AFDS take commands from? - ANSWER-Either the MCP or through
the FMCs
What does the TMC provide? - ANSWER-Autothrottle operation from takeoff to landing
During normal operations, what do the AP servos control? - ANSWER-Ailerons and
elevators
What do the AP servos also control during a multi AP approach? - ANSWER-Rudder
and nose wheel steering for rollout from an Autoland
How can the AP be disengaged? - ANSWER-Through the control wheel disconnect
switch, or through the AP disengage bar on the MCP.
When will the flight director display, even if it is not selected? - ANSWER-- When a go
around switch is pushed, and
- AS is greater than 80 knots, and
- The flaps are not retracted
When will the FMA not display? - ANSWER-When BOTH flight directors are selected to
OFF
,What happens if one AP mode fails? - ANSWER-AP remains engaged in attitude
stabilizing mode, an amber line is drawn through the affected mode on the FMA,
"AUTOPILOT" light illuminates and EICAS message "AUTOPILOT" displays.
What happens if both AP modes fail? - ANSWER-The AP disconnects, followed by
aural and visual warnings.
What are the A/T thrust modes? - ANSWER-- TO
- D-TO
- CLB
- CRZ
- CON
- GA
What MCP buttons will automatically select CLB thrust? - ANSWER-- FLCH
- VNAV
- SPD
- THR
What will disconnect the A/Ts? - ANSWER-- By positioning the A/T ARM lever to OFF,
or
- By pressing either thrust lever A/T disconnect switch, or
- Raising a reverse thrust lever to idle, or
- Automatically if a fault is detected
What AFDS modes are ARMED modes? - ANSWER-LNAV, LOC and APP
After LOC and G/S capture, how can APP mode be canceled? - ANSWER-Disengaging
the A/P and turning off both F/Ds or by selecting GA
, What do the IRS's provide? - ANSWER-HDG, ATT, POS., TRK, GS, WD & SPD, and
acceleration
What does selecting the VOR/DME switch to AUTO do? - ANSWER-Allows the FMCs
to autotune navaids to determine position.
What are the components of the EFIS display? - ANSWER-- 2 ADIs
- 2 HSIs
- 2 control panels
- 3 SGs
What is the purpose of the C SG? - ANSWER-A backup unit
What does each SG have? - ANSWER-An ILS and RA receiver
How do you change between Mach and IAS on the MCP? - ANSWER-By pressing the
SEL button
What does the AUTO position do for the bank limit? - ANSWER-It limits bank between
15-25 degrees as a function of TAS.
What happens if you press HDG HOLD while in a turn? - ANSWER-The airplane will roll
out and then maintain the heading it rolls out on
What is A/T N1 mode used for? - ANSWER-Setting thrust reference for various thrust
modes
In order for VNAV to be used, what must be entered into the FMC? - ANSWER-
Performance information and cruise altitude
