    • IFF.

    Correct Answer
    A. FM.
    Explanation
    The FM position on the ICP rotary selector switch enables the A-10 aircraft's ARC-210 Radio #2 audio to be monitored regardless of the monitor switch position. This means that even if the monitor switch is not set to the ARC-210 Radio #2, selecting the FM position will still allow the audio to be monitored.

    Which A–10 embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI) system component’s purpose is to select the navigation information to be displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) and attitude director indicator (ADI)?

    • EGI control panel.

    • NAV mode select panel.

    • Avionics auxiliary panel.

    • EGI/INS mode control panel.

    Correct Answer
    A. NAV mode select panel.
    Explanation
    The NAV mode select panel is the component responsible for selecting the navigation information to be displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) and attitude director indicator (ADI). This panel allows the pilot to choose the desired navigation mode, such as GPS or inertial navigation system (INS), and determines which information is shown on the HSI and ADI. The other options listed are not specifically designed for this purpose, making the NAV mode select panel the correct answer.

    When uploading an A–10 upgrade data transfer unit (UDTU) operational flight program (OFP), what will happen if you turn on the control display unit (CDU)?

    • Nothing at all, normal operation.

    • It will cause the CDU OFP to be lost.

    • It will corrupt the UDTU boot program.

    • It will restart the UDTU OFP upload process.

    Correct Answer
    A. It will corrupt the UDTU boot program.
    Explanation
    When uploading an A-10 upgrade data transfer unit (UDTU) operational flight program (OFP), if you turn on the control display unit (CDU), it will corrupt the UDTU boot program. This means that the boot program, which is responsible for starting up the UDTU, will become damaged or unusable. This can lead to issues with the UDTU's functionality and may require further troubleshooting or repairs.

    When in Guns mode on the A–10 aircraft, what is the primary (default) firing reference symbology?

    • CCIP Gun Cross.

    • CCIP Gun Reticle.

    • 4000 Ft Gun Cross.

    • 4/8/12 Gun Reticle.

    Correct Answer
    A. CCIP Gun Reticle.
    Explanation
    In Guns mode on the A-10 aircraft, the primary (default) firing reference symbology is the CCIP Gun Reticle. This means that when the aircraft is in Guns mode, the reticle displayed on the HUD (Head-Up Display) is the CCIP Gun Reticle, which provides the pilot with the necessary information and aiming reference to accurately fire the aircraft's guns. The other options mentioned, such as CCIP Gun Cross and 4000 Ft Gun Cross, are not the primary firing reference symbology in Guns mode on the A-10 aircraft.

  • 42. 

    Which A–10 EGI system component provides the power-on discretes for the control display unit (CDU), embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI) and functional switching for the CDU?

    • EGI control panel.

    • NAV mode select panel.

    • Avionics auxiliary panel.

    • EGI/INS mode control panel.

    Correct Answer
    A. Avionics auxiliary panel.
    Explanation
    The Avionics auxiliary panel provides the power-on discretes for the control display unit (CDU), embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI), and functional switching for the CDU. It is responsible for supplying power and control signals to these components, allowing them to function properly. The EGI control panel, NAV mode select panel, and EGI/INS mode control panel do not have this specific function, making them incorrect choices.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    If the A–10 embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI) magnetic heading is invalid, what indicator will be displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HSI)?

    • Heading marker.

    • Course deviation flag.

    • Bearing pointer No. 2.

    • Power OFF warning flag.

    Correct Answer
    A. Power OFF warning flag.
    Explanation
    If the A-10 embedded global positioning system/inertial navigation (EGI) magnetic heading is invalid, the power OFF warning flag will be displayed on the horizontal situation indicator (HSI). This flag indicates that the power to the EGI system has been turned off, which would explain why the magnetic heading is invalid.

    When the new target elevation is flashing in the A–10 head up display (HUD), the pilot can store the hot elevation in the selected steer point by pressing the

    • DATA key.

    • ENTR key.

    • STEER key.

    • ACCEPT key.

    Correct Answer
    A. ENTR key.
    Explanation
    When the new target elevation is flashing in the A-10 head up display (HUD), the pilot can store the hot elevation in the selected steer point by pressing the ENTR key.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 46. 

    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.
