Q1. All the last generation aircraft use flight control systems. The Flight Management System (FMS) is the most advanced system ; it can be defined as a:
global 3-D Flight Management System
Q2. The position of a Flight Director command bars:
indicates the manoeuvers to execute, to achieve or maintain a flight situation.
Q3. The flight director indicates the:
optimum instantaneous path to reach selected radial.
Q4. The aim of the flight director is to provide information to the pilot:
allowing him to return to a desired path in an optimal way.
Q5. The command bars of a flight director are generally represented on an:
ADI (Attitude Director Indicator)
Q6. The Head Up Display (HUD) is a device allowing the pilot, while still looking outside, to have:
a synthetic view of the instrument procedure.
Q7. On a modern aircraft, the flight director modes are displayed on the:
upper strip of the PFD (Primary Flight Display).
Q8. The essential components of a flight director are : 1- a computer 2- an automatic pilot 3- an autothrottle 4- command bars The combination of correct statements is:
1,4
Q9. Flight Director Information supplied by an FD computer is presented in the form of command bars on the following instrument:
ADI Attitude Display Indicator.
Q10. When the altitude acquisition mode is engaged on a jet transport airplane equipped with autopilot (AP) and auto-throttle (ATS) systems the:
indicated airspeed (IAS) is maintained constant by the autopilot by means of elevator.
Q11. The “heading hold” mode is selected on the flight director (FD) with a course to steer of 180°. Your aircraft holds a heading of 160°. The vertical bar of the FD:
is centered if the aircraft is on optimum path to join heading 180°
Q12. An aeroplane is equipped with a Flight Director (with crosshair trend bars), heading 270°, in HDG mode (heading hold). A new heading, of 360°, is selected; the vertical trend bar:
deviates to the right and will be centred as soon as you roll the aircraft to the bank angle calculated by the flight director.
Q13. For capturing and keeping a preselected magnetic heading, the flight director computer takes into account: 1- track deviation 2- rate of track closure 3- rate of change of track closure 4- wind velocity given by the inertial reference unit. The combination regrouping all the correct statements is:
1,2,3
Q14. Mode “Localizer ARM” active on Flight Director means:
System is armed for localizer approach and coupling will occur upon capturing center line
