    When would an automated meteorological station, AN/FMQ–19, midfield sensor group be installed?

    • When an airfield location must meet Category I criteria.

    • When an airfield location must meet Category II criteria.

    • When an airfield location must meet Category III criteria.

    • When an airfield location must meet Category IV criteria.

    Correct Answer
    A. When an airfield location must meet Category II criteria.
    Explanation
    The automated meteorological station, AN/FMQ-19, midfield sensor group would be installed when an airfield location must meet Category II criteria. This suggests that the station is specifically designed to gather meteorological data for airfields that need to meet the requirements of Category II criteria.

    The tactical air navigation system, AN/TRN–26, has time-coded pulses transmitted on any one of the

    • 126 channels spaced 1-MHz apart.

    • 128 channels spaced 1-MHz apart.

    • 126 channels spaced 2-MHz apart.

    • 128 channels spaced 2 MHz apart.

    Correct Answer
    A. 126 channels spaced 1-MHz apart.
    Explanation
    The tactical air navigation system, AN/TRN-26, has time-coded pulses transmitted on any one of the 126 channels spaced 1-MHz apart. This means that the system can transmit pulses on a total of 126 different channels, and each channel is spaced 1-MHz apart from the adjacent channel. This spacing allows for precise and accurate navigation as the system can transmit and receive signals on different frequencies, ensuring minimal interference and maximum coverage.

    What category of operation is the mobile microwave landing system, AN/TRN–45, capable of when installed in a split-site configuration?

    • CAT I or CAT II.

    • CAT II or CAT III.

    • CAT I only.

    • CAT II only.

    Correct Answer
    A. CAT I or CAT II.
    Explanation
    The mobile microwave landing system, AN/TRN-45, is capable of performing CAT I or CAT II operations when installed in a split-site configuration. This means that it can support both Category I and Category II precision approach and landing operations, providing pilots with accurate guidance and allowing for safe landings in various weather conditions.

    When does the digital voice recording system digital recording unit copy hard drive information to a digital audiotape?

    • Continuously.

    • Every 15 minutes.

    • Every 30 minutes.

    • Only when prompted by an operator.

    Correct Answer
    A. Every 15 minutes.
    Explanation
    The digital voice recording system's digital recording unit copies hard drive information to a digital audiotape every 15 minutes. This regular interval ensures that the data on the hard drive is consistently backed up to the audiotape, reducing the risk of data loss in case of any system failure or malfunction. This frequent backup also allows for easy retrieval and access to the recorded information when needed.
