What component provides the F-16 tactical air navigation (TACAN) system turn-on and volume control?
- A.
TACAN receiver/transmitter (R/T).
- B.
TACAN control panel.
- C.
AUDIO 1 panel.
- D.
AUDIO 2 panel.
Correct Answer
D. AUDIO 2 panel.Explanation
The AUDIO 2 panel is the component that provides the F-16 tactical air navigation (TACAN) system turn-on and volume control. This panel is responsible for controlling the audio output of various systems in the aircraft, including the TACAN system. It allows the pilot to adjust the volume of the TACAN system and turn it on or off as needed.Rate this question:

The instrument landing system (ILS) localizer and glide-slope signals use what frequency band(s)?
- A.
Both use UHF
- B.
Both use VHF
- C.
Localizer VHF and glide-slope UHF.
- D.
Localizer UHF and glide-slope VHF.
Correct Answer
C. Localizer VHF and glide-slope UHF.Explanation
The correct answer is Localizer VHF and glide-slope UHF. The instrument landing system (ILS) localizer uses VHF frequency band, while the glide-slope signal uses UHF frequency band.Rate this question:

The upper and lower side of the instrument landing system (ILS) glide-slope course is modulated at
- A.
150 and 90 Hz, respectively.
- B.
90 and 150 Hz, respectively.
- C.
120 and 70 Hz, respectively.
- D.
70 and 120 Hz, respectively.
Correct Answer
B. 90 and 150 Hz, respectively.Explanation
The correct answer is 90 and 150 Hz, respectively. In the instrument landing system (ILS), the glide-slope course is modulated with two frequencies. The upper side is modulated at 150 Hz, while the lower side is modulated at 90 Hz. This modulation helps pilots maintain the correct vertical descent path during an instrument approach, ensuring a safe landing.Rate this question:

What is "set up" for an aircraft using glide-slope information?
- A.
Proper left/right runway approach.
- B.
Identification of ILS ground station.
- C.
Distance to the approach end of the runway.
- D.
Proper vertical approach angle to land the aircraft.
Correct Answer
D. Proper vertical approach angle to land the aircraft.Explanation
"Set up" for an aircraft using glide-slope information refers to establishing the proper vertical approach angle to land the aircraft. Glide-slope information provides guidance to the pilot for maintaining the correct descent path during the approach and landing phase. By following the glide-slope, the pilot can ensure a safe and controlled descent towards the runway, allowing for a smooth landing.Rate this question:
