    (003) What is used to guide the aircraft during an instrument approach to the active runway?

    • Microwave landing system (MLS) back azimuth transmitter

    • MLS approach azimuth transmitter

    • Glide slope

    • Localizer

    Correct Answer
    A. MLS approach azimuth transmitter
    Explanation
    The MLS approach azimuth transmitter is used to guide the aircraft during an instrument approach to the active runway. The MLS system provides precise azimuth and elevation guidance to the pilot, allowing them to maintain the correct approach path. The transmitter sends signals to the aircraft's receiver, which displays the information on the instrument panel. This helps the pilot align the aircraft with the runway and descend at the correct angle for a safe landing. The MLS approach azimuth transmitter is an essential component of instrument landing systems used in aviation.

    (024) the angle of attack of an aircraft wing is the angle

    • Between the chord line and true heading

    • Between the chord line and the direction of relative wind

    • Of elevation between the aircraft pitch line and the target

    • Beween the aircraft pitch line and the surface of the earth

    Correct Answer
    A. Between the chord line and the direction of relative wind
    Explanation
    The angle of attack of an aircraft wing is the angle between the chord line and the direction of relative wind. The chord line is an imaginary line that connects the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing. The relative wind is the airflow that is encountered by the wing as the aircraft moves through the air. The angle of attack is important because it determines the lift generated by the wing. A higher angle of attack can increase lift but may also lead to increased drag and potential stall conditions.

    (028) what does the angle of attack (AOA) transmitter use to produce its output?

    • Two pure platinum sensing elements

    • A stabilized gyroscope that detects aircraft angle

    • Two synchros that align the probe tip with the airstream

    • A movable sensing element that routes air into two synchro cavities

    Correct Answer
    A. A movable sensing element that routes air into two synchro cavities
    Explanation
    The angle of attack (AOA) transmitter uses a movable sensing element that routes air into two synchro cavities to produce its output. This sensing element detects the angle at which the aircraft is approaching the airstream, and the air flow is directed into the synchro cavities to generate the transmitter's output. This allows the AOA transmitter to provide accurate information about the aircraft's angle of attack.

    (032) the multiplexing (MUX) system time-sharing concept is best described as

    • Digital and analog information alternating on the MUX system

    • Avionics systems processing digital information at different times

    • All information that has to be processed takes turens on the same communication line

    • A method of controlling the amount of time each avionics system can communicate on a MUX line

    Correct Answer
    A. All information that has to be processed takes turens on the same communication line
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that in a multiplexing (MUX) system, all the information that needs to be processed takes turns on the same communication line. This means that multiple signals or data streams are combined and transmitted over a single line, and each signal is given a specific time slot to be transmitted. This allows for efficient use of the communication line and prevents conflicts between different signals.

    (032) when completion of an operation on a data bus starts the next operation, the bus is said to function

    • Concurrently

    • Consecutively

    • Asynchronously

    • Monosynchronously

    Correct Answer
    A. Asynchronously
    Explanation
    When completion of an operation on a data bus starts the next operation, the bus is said to function asynchronously. This means that the operations on the bus are not synchronized or coordinated with each other. Each operation can start and finish independently of the others, allowing for greater flexibility and potentially faster processing times.

    • Rate of decent of the load

    • Type of platform used

    Correct Answer
    A. Rate of decent of the load
    Explanation
    The term "type of airdrop" refers to the rate of descent of the load when talking about airdrops. This means that it pertains to how quickly or slowly the load descends from the aircraft during the airdrop operation.
