Front Back
What is the name of the beams transmitted by VOR stations
Radials
What is the tolerance of a VOR radial
One full degree
To what is the 360 degree radial of a VOR oriented
Magnetic North
What are the three components of an ILS system
Localizer - Provides course guidance to the runway centerlineGlideslope - provides vertical guidance to maintain proper approach angleMarker Beacons - provide indications of progress along the approach path
How does the DME system work
Aircraft sends paired signal pulses (962-1213 MHz)Recieved by ground station and retransmitted to the aircraftAircraft DME measures time for round tripAircraft DME calculates SLANT DISTANCE (not horizontal distance)
What are the 3 components of the T-6 Flight Instruments
Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) - EADI & EHSIAir Data System - Altimeter, Airspeed Indicator, VSIStandy Instruments - Airspeed Indicator, ADI, Altimeter, Turn and Slip indicator, Magnetic Compass
What are the two components of the EFIS
Control Panel5 inch Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI)5 inch Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator - EHSI
In composite mode what happens
Both Attitude and heading information can be displayed on either the EADI or EHSI
Where do the EADI and EHSI reciever their information
Attitude Heading and Reference System (AHRS)
What is the AHRS
All attitude inertial sensor system that provides:Aircraft AttitudeHeadingFlight dynamics informationto the aircraft systems and displays
Is the AHRS system automatic
Yes, fully automatic does not NORMALLY need interaction from the pilot
Where is the controller for the AHRS system
Lower-right side of the front cockpit instrument panel(2 switches mode control, and slew control)
What position should the AHRS mode control switch normally be left in
SLVD (pronounced slaved)
What does the meter next to the AHRS mode control switch indicate
Slave error indicationsHorizontal line = no errorAt an angle = slave error
What happens when the AHRS mode control is turned to the DG (directional gyro) position
EHSI becomes a compass card with inaccurate heading information
