While operating the GWX weather radar system on the ground, make sure that:

The radar system has been tested.

The No. 2 COM is set to the ATIS

No one is within 11 feet (3 meters) of the radar antenna if the weather is turned on while on the ground.

The gain is properly calibrated.

Correct! Wrong!

When setting the BARO MIN on the PFD, the pilot should keep in mind that they are setting:

The altitude that is the decision height or minimum descent altitude on an approach.

The height above ground level for the minimums of an approach.

The altitude that they want the aircraft to descend to when reaching the minimums of an approach.

The altitude that they want the aircraft to level to when climbing to a selected altitude.

Correct! Wrong!

If the aircraft exceeds normal flight attitudes (30 degrees nose-up or 30 degrees nose-down pitch, or roll greater than 65 degrees bank), the PFD declutters leaving the primary flight instruments.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

If the aircraft exceeds normal flight attitudes (30 degrees nose-up or 20 degrees nose-down pitch, or roll greater than 65 degrees bank), the PFD declutters leaving the primary flight instruments.

One pilot must remain seated, with the seatbelt fastened, during all autopilot operations.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

This is one of the AFM limitations.

The CWS button on the control yoke will:

Disengage the yaw damper.

Momentarily disengages the AP and synchronizes the FD command bars with the current aircraft pitch and roll attitude.

Discontinue the pitch mode of the autopilot.

Momentarily disengage the autopilot, but the servos remain engaged.

Correct! Wrong!

When the pilot chooses a lateral or vertical mode on the AFCS controller, the AFCS status box indicates:

Green for standby and white for active.

Magenta for standby and white for active.

White for standby and green for active.

Both white for standby and for active.

Correct! Wrong!

Use of VNAV is prohibited during an approach with a teardrop course reversal. VNAV will fail at the beginning of the teardrop.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The standby flight instruments on the Mustang aircraft are:

Electrically driven instruments that have their own dedicated standby battery pack, which can power the airspeed, altitude, and attitude instruments for 30 minutes.

Vacuum and ram-air driven; instruments indicate airspeed, altitude, and attitude regardless whether power is lost to the aircraft.

Powered with the avionics power switch set to the on position.

Being electrically charged even with a loss of all DC power.

Correct! Wrong!

In the BATT TEST position, the condition of the backup battery is tested. Illumination of the green light beside the switch indicates proper battery charge. If the green light does not illuminate, the backup battery is not properly charged, and standby flight instruments may not operate with the loss of normal DC power.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

GPS based IFR enroute, oceanic, and terminal navigation is prohibited unless the pilot verifies the currency of the database or verifies each selected waypoint for accuracy by reference to current approved data.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

This is an AFM limitation.

If the MFD fails:

The pilot screen only automatically switches into reversionary mode.

The pilot PFD remains unaffected and the copilot screen automatically switches to reversionary mode.

The pilot and copilot PFDs automatically go into reversionary mode.

The pilot and copilot PFD displays normally and the display backup button at the bottom of the pilot or copilot audio panel has to be selected to display the necessary flight information, engine information, and CAS window.

Correct! Wrong!

Altimeter - On the inside left edge of the tape, a magenta trend vector indicates predicted altitude in _____ at the current rate of altitude change.

12 seconds.

8 seconds.

10 seconds.

6 seconds.

Correct! Wrong!

When power is applied to the standby altimeter, the green and red LEDs flash. The standby altimeter needle moves to the zero park position and then returns to the measured pressure once normal operation of the instrument begins.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

When the aircraft is more than 1,000 feet above or below the reference altitude, the digits in the selected altitude box are cyan on black.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

The open green circle that can appear on the airspeed indicator indicates:

The stall warning computer is indicating an approach speed of 1.5 VLSA.

The airspeed indicator has a fault to determine the final approach speed.

The stall warning computer has indicated a reference approach speed cue of 1.1 VS0.

The stall warning computer has indicated a reference approach speed cue of 1.3 VS1

Correct! Wrong!

For flight planning purposes, the pilot can enter the weight and balance information by going to the:

AUX page group on the MFD.

NRST page group on the PFD.

MAP page on the MFD.

PROC page group on the PFD.

Correct! Wrong!

Graphical Flight Instrumentation - Takeoff references are automatically turned off when airspeed reaches _____

160 kt.

170 kt.

175 kt.

180 kt.

Correct! Wrong!

The flap speed references represent the airspeed limits when the aircraft is _____

Below 30,000 feet.

Below 25,000 feet.

Below 20,000 feet.

Below 18,000 feet.

Correct! Wrong!

The PLAY key on the audio panel allows the pilot to:

Play the XM radio song that is being uploaded.

Receive the last PA request from the passengers.

Play the last audio transmission on the No. 2 NAV.

Play back the previous recorded 2-minute block of a received audio transmission.

Correct! Wrong!

The two GDC 74B air data computers are responsible for supplying information to what instruments?

Standby airspeed indicator, standby altimeter, and standby attitude indicator.

MFD XM weather information system.

PFD attitude indicator and horizontal direction indicator.

PFD airspeed indicators, altimeters, and vertical speed indicators.

Correct! Wrong!

If the flight crew forgets to turn off the takeoff V speeds in the timer/reference box on the PFD, what should be done next?

Press the TMR/REF and MENU bezel key on the PFD and choose to turn off all takeoff V speeds, or accelerate the aircraft above 160 knots.

Shutdown the avionics power switch and reboot the PFD.

Immediately turn off the takeoff V speeds as this can cause a hazardous condition when trying to land the aircraft.

Press the MENU bezel key on the PFD and choose to turn on the landing V speeds

Correct! Wrong!
