Explanation

The armament heads up display (HUD) control panel contains the integrated flight and fire control computer (IFFCC) ON/OFF switch. This switch allows the pilot to control the activation and deactivation of the IFFCC, which is an important component of the A-10 low altitude safety and targeting enhancement (LASTE) system. The HUD control panel is responsible for displaying critical information to the pilot, including weapon targeting and safety data, making it a logical location for the IFFCC switch.

67. On the A–10 aircraft's VHF/FM system, the transfer from receive mode to transmit mode is accomplished when the mic switch on the throttle is placed in the

Explanation

In the given question, it is stated that the transfer from receive mode to transmit mode on the A-10 aircraft's VHF/FM system is accomplished when the mic switch on the throttle is placed in the up position. This means that when the mic switch is moved upwards, it activates the transmit mode, allowing the aircraft to transmit signals through the VHF/FM system.

68. Which A–10 1553 data bus component is the master bus controller (MBC) for the Avionics data bus No. 1?

Explanation

The Control Display Unit (CDU) is the master bus controller (MBC) for the Avionics data bus No. 1. This means that it is responsible for controlling and coordinating the communication between various components on the data bus. It acts as the central hub for data transmission and ensures that data is properly routed and distributed to the appropriate devices. The CDU plays a crucial role in managing the flow of information on the data bus, making it the correct answer for this question.
