Correct Answer
A. A temperature-sensitive salt mixtureExplanation
The voids and clearances between the center conductor and the outer tube of the fire detection set sensing elements on the F-16 are filled with a temperature-sensitive salt mixture. This mixture is used to detect any changes in temperature, which can indicate the presence of a fire. As the temperature increases, the salt mixture undergoes a chemical reaction that triggers an alarm, alerting the pilot to the potential fire. This ensures that any fires can be quickly detected and addressed, increasing the safety of the aircraft.Rate this question:

The fire detection set sensing elements on the F-16 have an alarm temperature of .....
- A.
400 degrees
- B.
575 degrees
- C.
765 degrees
- D.
875 degrees
Correct Answer
C. 765 degreesExplanation
The correct answer is 765 degrees because the fire detection set on the F-16 has a specific alarm temperature set at this level. This means that if the temperature reaches or exceeds 765 degrees, the fire detection system will activate an alarm to alert the pilot of a potential fire. It is crucial for the system to have a high alarm temperature to ensure that it only triggers in the event of an actual fire and not false alarms caused by normal operating temperatures.Rate this question:

What symbol does the F-16 head-up display project when a fire ondition is detected?
- A.
Fire
- B.
Warn
- C.
Caution
- D.
Eng overtemp
Correct Answer
B. WarnExplanation
The F-16 head-up display projects the symbol "warn" when a fire condition is detected. This symbol serves as a warning to the pilot, indicating that there is a fire onboard the aircraft. It is crucial for the pilot to be alerted to this condition so that appropriate actions can be taken to mitigate the fire and ensure the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.Rate this question:
