74. When an ILS frequency is selected, the ARN-127 VOR receiver parks the HSI bearing pointer at the

Explanation

When an ILS frequency is selected, the ARN-127 VOR receiver parks the HSI bearing pointer at the 4 o'clock position. This positioning helps the pilot to easily distinguish between the VOR and ILS indications on the HSI. By placing the bearing pointer at the 4 o'clock position, it allows for a clear separation between the VOR radial and the localizer course, which is typically displayed at the 12 o'clock position. This positioning aids in the pilot's situational awareness and helps in accurately navigating the aircraft during ILS approaches.

78. The frequency response of a video tape recorder is determined by the

Explanation

The frequency response of a video tape recorder is determined by the head gap width and tape speed. The head gap width refers to the distance between the magnetic heads that read and write data on the tape. A narrower gap allows for higher frequencies to be recorded and reproduced accurately. The tape speed, on the other hand, affects the amount of tape passing over the heads per unit of time. Higher tape speeds result in better high-frequency response. Therefore, both the head gap width and tape speed play a crucial role in determining the frequency response of a video tape recorder.

Submit
79. Within the airborne video tape recorder, drum overload or drum jam causes the loss of the PG-2 signal, which triggers

Explanation

When there is a drum overload or drum jam in the airborne video tape recorder, it leads to the loss of the PG-2 signal. This loss of signal then activates the drum muting circuit. The purpose of the drum muting circuit is to mute or silence the audio signal from the drum in order to prevent any further damage or distortion. Therefore, in this situation, the loss of the PG-2 signal triggers the drum muting circuit to protect the system.

Submit
80. What information is not sent to the tactical air navigation adapter from the receiver-transmitter?

Explanation

The information that is not sent to the tactical air navigation adapter from the receiver-transmitter is the TO/FROM indication. This means that the adapter does not receive any indication of whether the aircraft is heading towards or away from the navigational beacon.

Submit
81. In VOR mode, what information is sent to the HSI by the ARN-147 VOR/localizer receiver?

Explanation

The ARN-147 VOR/localizer receiver sends left/right deviation, flag alarm, and TO/FROM information to the HSI in VOR mode. This means that the receiver provides the pilot with the deviation from the desired course, alerts the pilot if there is any issue or flag alarm, and indicates whether the aircraft is flying towards or away from the VOR station. This information is crucial for the pilot to navigate accurately and maintain the desired course.

Submit

Explanation

When the TACAN main reference burst occurs at the minimum amplitude of the 15 Hz variable signal, it indicates that the station is directly to the east or west of the observer. In this case, the azimuth to the station would be 90 degrees, as it is perpendicular to the observer's line of sight.

Submit
86. The purpose of the TACAN system is to provide the pilot with accurate

Explanation

The TACAN system is designed to provide the pilot with accurate distance, bearing, and aural information. This means that it can determine the distance between the aircraft and a ground station, the direction or bearing to that station, and also provide aural cues or signals to assist the pilot in navigation. This information is crucial for pilots to accurately navigate and maintain situational awareness during flights.

Submit
87. TACAN channel data and selected mode information are routed to the receiver-transmitter as a

Explanation

The TACAN channel data and selected mode information are routed to the receiver-transmitter as a 16-bit ternary word. This means that the information is transmitted using a 16-bit binary code, where each bit can have three possible values (0, 1, or 2). This allows for a higher level of data transmission and accuracy compared to a binary word. The use of a ternary word ensures that the receiver-transmitter can accurately interpret and process the channel data and mode information.

Submit
88. During ILS operation, a full-scale deflection of the HSI vertical needle indicates the aircraft is off course from the runway centerline by

Explanation

A full-scale deflection of the HSI vertical needle during ILS operation indicates that the aircraft is off course from the runway centerline by 2.5 degrees. This means that the aircraft is deviating significantly from the desired path and needs to make corrections to get back on track. The degree of deflection is a crucial indicator for pilots to maintain proper alignment with the runway centerline during instrument landing system operations.

Submit
89. In the tactical air navigation mode, each dot on the HSI represents an error from the selected course of

Explanation

In tactical air navigation mode, each dot on the HSI represents an error from the selected course of 5.0 degrees. This means that if the aircraft is deviating from the selected course, the HSI will display the extent of the deviation by showing the number of dots away from the desired course. For example, if the aircraft is one dot to the right of the course, it means that it is off by 5.0 degrees to the right. This information helps pilots make necessary corrections to stay on track during their flight.

Submit
90. The maximum number of IFF reply codes that can be selected in mode 1 is

Explanation

In mode 1, there is a limit to the number of IFF reply codes that can be selected. The correct answer is 32, which means that in mode 1, only 32 different IFF reply codes can be chosen.

Submit
91. In a video tape recorder, what determines how far the tape should be wrapped around a spinning drum assembly?

Explanation

The number of heads contained on the drum determines how far the tape should be wrapped around a spinning drum assembly. Each head is responsible for recording or playing back a specific track on the tape, so the more heads there are, the more tracks can be recorded or played back simultaneously. The tape needs to be wrapped around the drum enough times to align with each head, ensuring that all tracks are properly recorded or played back. Therefore, the number of heads on the drum determines the amount of tape that needs to be wrapped around it.

Submit
92. During TACAN operation, the two signals phased compared to produce the fine bearing (+- 1 degree) are the

Explanation

During TACAN operation, the fine bearing (+- 1 degree) is produced by comparing the phase of the 35 Hz variable signal and the ARB (Azimuth Reference Bit) signal. The 35 Hz variable signal represents the angular displacement between the aircraft and the ground station, while the ARB signal provides the reference for the bearing calculation. By comparing the phase of these two signals, the TACAN system can accurately determine the fine bearing of the aircraft.

Submit
93. When the IDENT switch is activated, the IFF transponder automatically transmits an identification of position reply for

Explanation

When the IDENT switch is activated, the IFF transponder automatically transmits an identification of position reply for 20 seconds. This means that for a duration of 20 seconds, the transponder will send out a signal that identifies the position of the aircraft. This can be useful in situations where the aircraft needs to be easily identified or located by air traffic control or other aircraft.

Submit
94. In the airborne video tape recorder unit, the event mark signal is recorded on

Explanation

The correct answer is four 0.5-µ sec pulses, spaced 2 µ sec apart. This is because the identification, friend or foe mode 4 interrogation consists of four pulses that are 0.5 microseconds in duration and spaced 2 microseconds apart. This specific pattern of pulses is used to distinguish between friendly and hostile aircraft.

Submit
97. In a video tape recorder, what is the frequency of the pulse generator sampling signals used in the servo control circuits when the drum speed is 1,800 revolutions per minute?

Explanation

The frequency of the pulse generator sampling signals used in the servo control circuits is 30 Hz. This is because the drum speed of 1,800 revolutions per minute can be converted to revolutions per second by dividing it by 60, resulting in 30 revolutions per second. Since each revolution corresponds to one pulse, the frequency of the pulse generator sampling signals is 30 Hz.

Submit
98. What ASC-19(V)3 SATCOM system LRU contains all controls for UHF LOS operation and for switching system control for satellite operation?

Explanation

The C-9665(V)1/A radio set control is the correct answer because it contains all controls for UHF LOS (Line of Sight) operation and for switching system control for satellite operation. This means that it has the necessary controls to operate the UHF LOS system and also to switch the system control for satellite operation. The other options listed do not have the same capabilities as the C-9665(V)1/A radio set control.

Submit
99. If the HSI indicator displays a magnetic heading of 45 degrees and magnetic bearing of 5 degrees to the tactical air navigation station, the the relative bearing is

Explanation

The relative bearing is the angle between the aircraft's heading and the position of the object being observed. In this case, the HSI indicator displays a magnetic heading of 45 degrees and a magnetic bearing of 5 degrees to the tactical air navigation station. To determine the relative bearing, we subtract the magnetic bearing from the magnetic heading. Therefore, 45 degrees - 5 degrees = 40 degrees. However, since the relative bearing is always measured clockwise from the aircraft's nose, we add 360 degrees to the result. Hence, the correct answer is 320 degrees.

Submit
100. The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System surveys valid transponder traffic that is approximately

Explanation

The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is designed to detect and track other aircraft in the vicinity to help prevent mid-air collisions. The correct answer states that the system surveys valid transponder traffic within a range of 15-40 NMs forward, 5-15 NMs aft, and 10-20 NMs on both sides of the aircraft. This means that the TCAS is capable of monitoring a relatively wide area around the aircraft, including both the front, back, and sides, to provide a comprehensive view of potential traffic threats.
