    Shielded cable consists of

    • A metallic braid over the insulation.

    • A metal conductor covered with a dielectric.

    • An inner conductor separated by an insulation dielectric.

    • A compact wire bundle with self-contained wire assemblies.

    Correct Answer
    A. A metallic braid over the insulation.
    Explanation
    Shielded cable consists of a metallic braid over the insulation. This metallic braid acts as a shield to protect the inner conductor from external electromagnetic interference. It helps to reduce noise and signal degradation by providing a barrier against electromagnetic radiation. The insulation layer underneath the metallic braid provides electrical insulation and further protection to the inner conductor. Overall, the metallic braid over the insulation enhances the performance and reliability of the shielded cable.

    What type of cable is required for greater shielding against electromagnetic interference?

    • Twisted pair.

    • Coaxial.

    • Triaxial.

    • Shielded.

    Correct Answer
    A. Triaxial.
    Explanation
    Triaxial cable provides the highest level of shielding against electromagnetic interference compared to twisted pair, coaxial, and shielded cables. It consists of three layers of shielding, including an inner conductor, an insulating layer, and an outer conductor, which helps to minimize interference from external sources. This design makes triaxial cable ideal for applications where strong shielding is necessary, such as in high-frequency transmission systems or environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference.

    What navigation system determines the aircraft height above the terrain?

    • Global positioning system (GPS).

    • Radar altimeter.

    • Doppler radar.

    • Radar set.

    Correct Answer
    A. Radar altimeter.
    Explanation
    The radar altimeter is the navigation system that determines the aircraft's height above the terrain. Unlike the global positioning system (GPS) which provides the aircraft's position, the radar altimeter specifically measures the distance between the aircraft and the ground directly below it. This information is crucial for pilots to maintain safe altitude during takeoff, landing, and low-level flight operations. Doppler radar and radar set are not specifically designed for determining aircraft height above the terrain, making them incorrect options.

    What switch on the countermeasures dispenser tester (CDT) allows for the retrieval and display of fire test results?

    • ALE.

    • DATA.

    • MODE.

    • RESET.

    Correct Answer
    A. DATA.
    Explanation
    The switch on the countermeasures dispenser tester (CDT) that allows for the retrieval and display of fire test results is the DATA switch. This switch is responsible for accessing and displaying the data collected during the fire test. By selecting the DATA switch, the user can view the test results and analyze the performance of the countermeasures dispenser.

    Rate this question:

  • 48. 

    What position of the DATA switch is selected to display the fire test main PASS/FAIL indication?

    • SEQ.

    • COUNT.

    • NO FIRE.

    • GO/NO-GO.

    Correct Answer
    A. GO/NO-GO.
    Explanation
    The position of the DATA switch that is selected to display the fire test main PASS/FAIL indication is "GO/NO-GO". This means that the switch needs to be set to the "GO/NO-GO" position in order to see whether the fire test has passed or failed.

    All of the following are advantages of a multiplex bus except

    • Increases reliability.

    • Decreases available space.

    • Reduces aircraft weight.

    • Reduces the volume of wires.

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreases available space.
    Explanation
    A multiplex bus is a communication system that allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single channel. It offers several advantages, including increased reliability, reduced aircraft weight, and a decrease in the volume of wires required for communication. However, it does not decrease available space. In fact, a multiplex bus can help optimize space utilization by reducing the number of individual wires and cables needed for communication, thus freeing up more space for other components or purposes.
