    If the horizontal situation indicator displays a magnetic heading of 45 degrees and magentic bearing of 5 degrees to the tactical air navigation station, then the relative bearing is

    • 45 degrees

    • 225 degrees

    • 320 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 320 degrees
    Explanation
    The relative bearing is the difference between the magnetic heading and the magnetic bearing to the tactical air navigation station. In this case, the magnetic heading is 45 degrees and the magnetic bearing is 5 degrees. To find the relative bearing, subtract the magnetic bearing from the magnetic heading: 45 degrees - 5 degrees = 40 degrees. However, since the relative bearing is always measured clockwise from the nose of the aircraft, we need to add 180 degrees to the result. Therefore, the relative bearing is 40 degrees + 180 degrees = 220 degrees.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is a sidelobe suppression pulse (p2) 2 microseconds after the first interrogation pulse. This is because in order for the IFF system to sense sidelobe interrogations, it needs to suppress the sidelobes of the radar pulse. By transmitting a sidelobe suppression pulse (p2) after the first interrogation pulse, the system is able to effectively reduce the impact of sidelobe interrogations and improve the accuracy of the system.

    • 10 seconds

    • 20 seconds

    • 25 seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 seconds
    Explanation
    When the IDENT switch is activated, the identification, friend or foe transponder automatically transmits an identification position reply for 20 seconds. This means that for a period of 20 seconds after activating the IDENT switch, the transponder will continuously transmit a signal indicating the aircraft's identification and position to other aircraft and air traffic control.

    What happens when the identification friend or foe (IFF) system fails to reply to a mode 4 interrogation?

    • The iff cation light on the pilots instrument panel illuminates

    • Boom

    • Boom boom

    Correct Answer
    A. The iff cation light on the pilots instrument panel illuminates
    Explanation
    When the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system fails to reply to a Mode 4 interrogation, the IFF caution light on the pilot's instrument panel illuminates. This indicates that the system is not functioning properly and is unable to provide the necessary identification information to other aircraft or ground stations. The caution light serves as a warning to the pilot, alerting them to the potential issue with the IFF system.

    • High-frequency radio is keyed

    • Low high-frequency radio is keyed

    • Ultra-high frequency radio is keyed

    Correct Answer
    A. Ultra-high frequency radio is keyed
    Explanation
    When the IDENT-OUT-MIC switch is in the MIC position, the identification, friend or foe system triggers position replies every time the ultra-high frequency radio is keyed. This means that whenever the ultra-high frequency radio is activated or used, the identification system will respond with position information. This helps in identifying whether the signal is coming from a friendly or hostile source.
