Windshear detection is activated between __________________________ during the initial takeoff, go-around and final approach phases of flight.
- A.
10 ft and 1500 ft radio altitude
- B.
20 ft and 2000 ft radio altitude
Correct Answer
A. 10 ft and 1500 ft radio altitudeExplanation
Windshear detection is activated between 10 ft and 1500 ft radio altitude during the initial takeoff, go-around, and final approach phases of flight. This means that the aircraft's windshear detection system will start monitoring for windshear conditions at a height of 10 ft above the ground and continue to do so until the aircraft reaches a radio altitude of 1500 ft. This is important because windshear can be a dangerous weather phenomenon that can cause sudden changes in wind speed and direction, potentially affecting the aircraft's performance and stability. By activating the windshear detection system within this altitude range, pilots can be alerted to any potential windshear hazards and take appropriate actions to ensure the safety of the flight.Rate this question:

(preventive RA)
Correct Answer
A. (corrective RA)Explanation
When the TCAS detects an RA condition and a maneuver is recommended to increase the vertical separation, the flight director command bars are removed and one or two red trapezoidal avoidance zones and a green rectangular fly to zone are displayed. This indicates that the corrective RA is being implemented, where the aircraft needs to take immediate action to avoid a potential collision.Rate this question:

RA condition where certain ranges of vertical speed are not recommended ______________, only one red trapezoidal avoidance zone is displayed.
- A.
(preventive RA)
- B.
(corrective RA)
Correct Answer
A. (preventive RA)Explanation
In a preventive RA condition where certain ranges of vertical speed are not recommended, only one red trapezoidal avoidance zone is displayed. This means that the RA system is providing a warning to the pilot to avoid specific vertical speed ranges in order to prevent a potential conflict with other aircraft. The display of only one avoidance zone indicates that the RA system is taking a proactive approach to prevent a potential collision rather than providing corrective actions after a conflict has already occurred.Rate this question:

The TCAS automatically reverts to TA ONLY mode and inhibits RAs for altitudes ...
- A.
Below 900 ft AGL during descent, or below 1000 ft during climb.
- B.
Below 380 ft AGL.
Correct Answer
A. Below 900 ft AGL during descent, or below 1000 ft during climb.Explanation
The correct answer is below 900 ft AGL during descent, or below 1000 ft during climb. The TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) is a safety system used in aircraft to prevent mid-air collisions. When the aircraft is below 900 ft AGL (Above Ground Level) during descent or below 1000 ft during climb, the TCAS automatically switches to Traffic Advisory (TA) Only mode. In this mode, it provides advisories to the pilots regarding other aircraft in the vicinity, but it does not provide Resolution Advisories (RAs) which are instructions for avoiding a potential collision. This is done to prevent unnecessary RAs in the critical phases of flight close to the ground.Rate this question:

The TAs are inhibited for airplanes at altitudes ...
- A.
Below 380 ft AGL.
- B.
Below 900 ft AGL during descent, or below 1000 ft during climb.
Correct Answer
A. Below 380 ft AGL.Explanation
The TAs are limited or restricted for airplanes at altitudes below 380 ft AGL.Rate this question:

No Climb commands or Increased Climb commands are issues at or above __________ MSL. No other inhibits are implemented for the Climb or Increased Climb functions.
- A.
40000 ft
- B.
34000 ft
Correct Answer
B. 34000 ftExplanation
The correct answer is 34000 ft because the question is asking at or above what altitude are No Climb commands or Increased Climb commands issued. Therefore, commands are issued at or above 34000 ft MSL.Rate this question:
