What A–10 1553 data bus word format contains the actual information to be transferred between the remote (RT) and bus controller (BC) or between RTs?
- Data word format.
- Status word format.
- Control word format.
- Command word format.
Correct Answer

A. Data word format.

Explanation

The actual information to be transferred between the remote (RT) and bus controller (BC) or between RTs is contained in the Data word format. This format is used to transmit the data payload and is separate from the other formats such as Status word format, Control word format, and Command word format. The Data word format ensures that the correct information is transferred accurately and efficiently between the devices on the A-10 1553 data bus.

Which A–10 1553 data bus component is the bus controller for the Avionics data bus No. 3?
- Control display unit (CDU).
- Embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI).
- Central interface control unit (CICU).
- Integrated flight and fire control computer (IFFCC).
Correct Answer

A. Central interface control unit (CICU).

Explanation

The central interface control unit (CICU) is the bus controller for the Avionics data bus No. 3. This means that it is responsible for managing and controlling the data transfer on the bus. The other options, such as the control display unit (CDU), embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI), and integrated flight and fire control computer (IFFCC), do not perform the role of a bus controller.

What navigation (NAV) operating mode does the A–10 heads up display (HUD) low altitude safety and targeting enhancement (LASTE) system default to as its backup?
- Embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI).
- Heading attitude reference system (HARS).
- Integrated flight and fire control computer (IFFCC).
- Normal.
Correct Answer

A. Heading attitude reference system (HARS).

Explanation

The A-10 HUD LASTE system defaults to the Heading Attitude Reference System (HARS) as its backup navigation operating mode. This means that if the primary navigation system fails, the HARS will take over and provide the necessary heading and attitude information for the aircraft. The HARS is a reliable backup system that ensures the aircraft can maintain its course and orientation in low altitude and targeting situations.

Which A–10 aircraft HSI pointer displays relative bearing to a selected station when in ADF mode?
- No. 1 pointer.
- No. 2 pointer.
- No. 3 pointer.
- No. 4 pointer.
Correct Answer

A. No. 1 pointer.

Explanation

The No. 1 pointer on the A-10 aircraft HSI displays the relative bearing to a selected station when in ADF mode.

The A–10 aircraft’s VHF/FM component that sends a signal to the homing antenna to turn it on and off at a constant rate is the FM
- Adapter.
- Transmitter.
- Homing diode.
- Homing module.
Correct Answer

A. Homing module.

Explanation

The correct answer is the homing module. The homing module is responsible for sending a signal to the homing antenna to turn it on and off at a constant rate. This allows the aircraft to establish a homing signal and navigate accurately. The other options, such as the FM adapter, transmitter, and homing diode, do not perform this specific function in relation to the VHF/FM component.
