1. The minimum range of a pulse-modulation radar system is determined by the pulse

Explanation

The minimum range of a pulse-modulation radar system is determined by the duration of the pulse. This is because the duration of the pulse determines the time it takes for the radar signal to travel to the target and back. The minimum range is the shortest distance at which the radar system can accurately detect and measure the target. A shorter pulse duration allows for a more precise measurement of the target's range, resulting in a smaller minimum range for the radar system.

3. When the home station check (HSC) inspection becomes due during a long range mission, it is completed at the base

Explanation

During a long-range mission, when the home station check (HSC) inspection becomes due, it is completed at the base to which the aircraft belongs. This means that the inspection is done at the home base where the aircraft is registered or assigned. This ensures that the aircraft is thoroughly inspected and maintained according to the standards and protocols of its home station. It also allows for any necessary repairs or adjustments to be made before the aircraft continues its mission.

Submit
4. In a frequency-shift radar system, what is the relationship between a transmitter/receiver(T/R) and an aircraft when the received frequency is lower that the transmitted frequency?

Explanation

When the received frequency is lower than the transmitted frequency in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that the aircraft is moving away from the transmitter/receiver (T/R). This is because the frequency shift occurs due to the Doppler effect, which causes the received frequency to be lower when the source (aircraft) is moving away from the receiver (T/R). Therefore, the correct answer is that the aircraft is flying away from the T/R.

Submit
5. What provides a measurement of unit performance and capability?

Explanation

Metrics provide a measurement of unit performance and capability. Metrics are quantitative measurements used to track and assess the performance and capability of a unit or system.

This means that it is responsible for storing and organizing these documents and making them easily accessible to those who need them. The other options, such as the Audio Visual Center, AF Primary Standards Laboratory, and Communication and Information System, do not specifically mention their role in storing engineering data, making them less likely to be the correct answer.

Submit
43. What is the transmitted frequency when a high frequency (HF) radio control is set to 25.000-megahertz (MHz), with a signal modulated by a 1000-hertz tone, when the lower sideband mode is selected?

Explanation

When the lower sideband mode is selected, the transmitted frequency is slightly lower than the carrier frequency. In this case, the carrier frequency is 25.000 MHz and it is modulated by a 1000 Hz tone. The lower sideband frequency is obtained by subtracting the tone frequency from the carrier frequency. Therefore, the transmitted frequency would be 25.000 MHz - 1000 Hz = 24.999 MHz.

The data input program is therefore considered to be the central component that drives the entire system.

Submit
83. When the ring laser gyro of the inertial navigation unit (INU) is subjected to angular rates such as those encountered during aircraft maneuvers, what happens to the laser beams' optical path lengths?

Explanation

When the ring laser gyro of the inertial navigation unit (INU) is subjected to angular rates such as those encountered during aircraft maneuvers, the laser beams' optical path lengths change. One beam increases in length while the other decreases in length. This is due to the Sagnac effect, which causes a phase shift in the laser beams as they travel in opposite directions around the ring. The difference in path lengths allows the INU to measure the angular rate and provide accurate navigation information.

Submit
88. The global positioning system is capable of tracking how many satellites at one time?

Explanation

The global positioning system is capable of tracking five satellites at one time. This is because GPS receivers require signals from at least four satellites to accurately calculate the user's position in three dimensions (latitude, longitude, and altitude), as well as the precise time. However, tracking more than four satellites allows for better accuracy and reliability, as it provides redundancy in case one or more satellites are blocked or have weak signals. Therefore, GPS systems are designed to track as many satellites as possible within their range.

Explanation

If the pilot's attitude director indicator bank steering bar deflects to the left, it means that the aircraft is deviating from the runway centerline towards the right. To get the aircraft back on the runway centerline, the pilot must fly in the opposite direction, which is to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is to "Fly left".

Submit
95. When the instrument landing system (ILS) marker beacon amber (orange) lamp illuminates, the pilot hears a

Explanation

When the instrument landing system (ILS) marker beacon amber lamp illuminates, the pilot hears a 1,300-Hz tone. This is because the ILS marker beacon system uses different audio frequencies to indicate different positions along the approach path. The 1,300-Hz tone is specifically associated with the middle marker, which is the marker beacon that indicates the aircraft is halfway between the outer marker and the runway threshold. Therefore, when the amber lamp illuminates, it signifies that the aircraft is at the middle marker, and the pilot hears the corresponding 1,300-Hz tone.

Submit
104. In a pulse-modulation radar system, a high pulse repetition frequency radar limits range by

Explanation

In a pulse-modulation radar system, a high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) means that the radar is transmitting pulses at a faster rate. By shortening the listening time, the radar is able to process the received echoes more quickly. This allows for a higher update rate and faster data processing, but it also limits the range of the radar system. With shorter listening time, the radar may miss or not fully capture the echoes from distant targets, resulting in a reduced range capability. Therefore, shortening listening time is the correct answer as it limits the range in a high PRF radar system.

Submit
105. Which type of inspection is a flight preparedness check?

Explanation

A flight preparedness check is typically conducted before a flight to ensure that the aircraft is ready and safe for takeoff. This type of inspection is known as a preflight inspection. During a preflight inspection, the pilot or ground crew will check various components of the aircraft, such as the fuel levels, engine oil, control surfaces, and overall condition of the aircraft, to ensure that everything is in proper working order. This helps to prevent any potential issues or malfunctions during the flight and ensures the safety of both the crew and passengers.

Submit
106. Where does the radar transmitter in a pulse-modulation radar system send a small amount of energy for use as a time reference?

Explanation

In a pulse-modulation radar system, the radar transmitter sends a small amount of energy to the receiver for use as a time reference. This is because the receiver is responsible for detecting the reflected radar signal and measuring the time it takes for the signal to return. By using the energy sent by the transmitter as a time reference, the receiver can accurately calculate the distance to the target based on the time delay of the reflected signal. Therefore, the correct answer is Receiver.
