930. An aeroplane is flying at FL300 with a TAS of 470kt in standard conditions. The Mach number is:
A. B. C. D. 0.83 0.82 0.80 0.53
931. When engaged in the FMS lateral navigation mode (LNAV) the autopilot uses:
A. B. C. D. the FMS computation of the aircraft position and the FMS active (TO) waypoint bearing. the FMS active (TO) waypoint coordinates. the path angle command computed by the FMS. the roll or heading command computed by the FMS.
932. The accelerometers of a strap-down Inertial Reference System are in line with:
A. the local vertical and the local meridian.
933. The FMS vertical navigation management is generally performed based on:
A. B. C. D. the GPS altitude computed by the GPS receiver. the geometric altitude input from the Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS). a mix of baro and GPS altitudes. the baro altitude input from the ADC.
934. If the navigation function of an INS is inoperative, the back up mode if existing, used to operate the INS is:
A. B. C. D. the GS mode which supplies ground speed and heading data. the OFF mode which turns off the navigation mode but recovers the heading mode. the ATT mode which supplies attitude and heading data. the ATT mode which allows to maintain pitch attitude only.
937. The FMS navigation database includes the following data: 1 - airports 2 - take off speeds 3 navaids 4 - relief 5 - runways The combination that regroups all of the correct statements is:
A. B. C. D. 3, 4, 5. 1, 3, 5. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 5.
938. During a climb at a constant CAS below the tropopause in standard atmosphere:
A. B. C. D. the Mach number decreases and the speed of sound increases. the Mach number and the speed of sound decrease. the Mach number and the speed of sound increase. the Mach number increases and the speed of sound decreases.
939. The navigation precision of a stand alone inertial system decreases along the flight, due to:
A. B. C. D. the drift of the gyroscopes. the motion of the aircraft. the accelerations of the aircraft. the meteorological conditions.
942. During a final approach, the flight director is engaged in the G/S mode (holding of ILS Glide Slope). If the horizontal command bar is deviating upward, it means that:
A. B. C. D. the pitch attitude must be increased. the pitch attitude must be reduced. the aircraft is above the glide slope. the aircraft is below the glide slope.
943. The alignment of a gyro stabilized inertial platform consists in positionning the platform relative to:
A. B. C. D. the vertical axis and true north. the pitch axis only. the roll axis only. the pitch and roll axis.
944. A servo-assisted altimeter is more accurate than a simple altimeter because the small movements of:
A. B. C. D. the capsules are detected by a very sensitive electro-magnetic pick-off. the capsules are inhibited. the pointers are detected by a very sensitive electro-magnetic pick-off. the capsules are not taken into account.
