1, When an instrument has the sensing element and the indicator In the same unit, itis called:
2) _ Direct Sensing instrument
instrument
b) Remote Sensin
2. Three Basic kind of instruments
Flight/Engine/Navigation
3, The Basic T arrangement
ASI-Top Left
Altimeter — Top Right
Attitude - Top Center
Heading — Bottom Center
4. What is Absolute pressure?
When a force is compared to a total vacuum.
5, What are the three basic pitot-static instruments:
ASI/VSI/Altimeter
6. ‘Altimeters that measure altitude by measuring the atmospheric air pressure fs known as:
Radio Altimeter
Pressure Altimeter
‘Aturn coordinator indicates the rate of
Both Roll & Yaw
Roll only
Yaw only
The primary purpose of an autopilot system is to
Reduce the work strain and fatigue of controlling the aircraft during long flights.
Auto pilot can be for one/two/three axis control of aircraft
Two axis control autopilot usually control the:

Climbs, descents, cruise and approach to landing
The basis for autopilot system operation is
Error Correction
The four basic components of autopilot system are
‘ents/command elements,
Sensing elements/Computing Elements/Output elem:

The autopilot command element is:
The human interface of the autopilot
Flight director systems in the AFCS uses:
Sensing and computing elements along with the command element.

‘The main component of Flight Management system is:
FMC
In an aircraft warning system the light color
Green — Satisfactory
Yellow — Caution of serious condition that require further monitoring
Red — Unsatisfactory condition
Master Caution lights are used to draw the attention of the crew:
To a critical situation in add to an annunciation that describes the problem.
Instrument panels are usually shock mounted to absorb:
Low frequency high amplitude shocks
VHF communication uses space waves capable of
Line of sight transmission only
AM & FM are examples of
Modulation techniques of radio waves
transceiver is a communication radio which uses:
The same circuits for transmitting and receiving both.
RMI combines indications from
Magnetic compass, VOR and ADF
LCD is better than CRTs display because
Required less volume
Lighter and consume less electrical power.
The upper EICAS display shows:
Engine performance data like EPR, N1, EGT, TAT etc.
‘The lower EICAS display is called a MFD and can be used as
Secondary engine display, status display, communication display,
Check
Maintenance. Pg, Electronic
