    In the flight director system, the mode that overrides the navigation (NAV) lateral and glide slope beam sensors is the Approach manual (APPR MAN) mode. This mode allows the pilot to manually control the aircraft's approach and landing, disregarding the input from the navigation sensors. It gives the pilot full control over the aircraft's lateral and vertical guidance during the approach phase.

    What types of sensing elements are used in the oil pressure transmitter?

    • Magnets.

    • Aneroids

    • Dual bellows

    • Bourdon tubes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Bourdon tubes.
    Explanation
    Bourdon tubes are the types of sensing elements used in the oil pressure transmitter. Bourdon tubes are C-shaped tubes that are sensitive to pressure changes. When pressure is applied, the tube straightens out, and this movement is converted into a mechanical motion that can be measured. Bourdon tubes are commonly used in pressure measurement devices due to their accuracy and reliability. Magnets, aneroids, and dual bellows are not typically used as sensing elements in oil pressure transmitters.

    What commands the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) heading bug?

    • Remote heading slew switch

    • Pitch command control

    • Heading slew controls

    • Rate-of-turn indicator

    Correct Answer
    A. Heading slew controls
    Explanation
    The heading bug on the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) is commanded by the heading slew controls. These controls allow the pilot to adjust and set the desired heading on the HSI. By using the heading slew controls, the pilot can align the heading bug with the desired heading, providing a reference for navigation and course tracking. The other options mentioned, such as the remote heading slew switch, pitch command control, and rate-of-turn indicator, are not directly responsible for commanding the heading bug on the HSI.

    Pressing the rotation go-around (RGA) control wheel switch on approach causes the attitude direction indicator (ADI) to command a

    • Wings-level dive attitude of 7 degrees

    • Wings-level dive attitude of 8 degrees.

    • Wings-level climb attitude of 7 degrees.

    • Wings-level climb attitude of 8 degrees.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wings-level climb attitude of 7 degrees.
    Explanation
    Pressing the rotation go-around (RGA) control wheel switch on approach causes the attitude direction indicator (ADI) to command a wings-level climb attitude of 7 degrees. This means that when the RGA control wheel switch is activated, the ADI will indicate that the aircraft should be in a climb attitude with the wings level, and the angle of climb will be 7 degrees.

    In the flight director system, what initiates the glide slope extension mode?

    • 100 foot altitude trip voltage.

    • 200 foot altitude trip voltage.

    • 300 foot altitude trip voltage

    • 500 foot altitude trip voltage.

    Correct Answer
    A. 200 foot altitude trip voltage.
    Explanation
    The glide slope extension mode in the flight director system is initiated by the 200 foot altitude trip voltage. This voltage is triggered when the aircraft reaches an altitude of 200 feet, indicating that it is at a specific point in its descent. This mode helps guide the aircraft to maintain the correct glide slope during approach and landing, ensuring a safe and smooth descent.
