14 CFR Part 91.413 inspections may be performed by all the following FAA certificate holders except?

A Repair Station holding a class 3 radio license or a limited rating for the transponder being inspected.

An Airframe and Power Plant mechanic who is working independently.

An aircraft Manufacturer that has installed the transponder in the aircraft.

An Air Carrier operating under a CAMP

Please select an option. Incorrect A&P mechanics are not authorized to perform 14 CFR Part 91.413 inspections unless they are working for a Repair Station, Aircraft Manufacturer or an air carrier operating under a CAMP.

The acronym CAMP stands for Constant Aircraft Maintenance Plan

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect CAMP stands for Continued Airworthiness Maintenance Program.

Which of the following is not a root cause for False Target generation?

Outdated testing procedure in AMM

Instructions for Continued Airworthiness not followed

The use of RF shielding blankets

Defective test equipment, frayed connectors and bad gaskets

Please select an option. Incorrect The use of shielding blankets aid in the prevention of false targets and is not a root cause for False Target Generation.

Antenna couplers on average provide about how much attenuation of test signal?

16dB

44dB

60dB

25dB

Please select an option. Incorrect Antenna couplers provide about eight times attenuation or 25dB

What are the two ADS-B 14 CFR regulations?

23.1325 and 91.413

91.225 and 91.227

65.163 and 91.411

43.13 and 135.411

Please select an option. Incorrect 14 CFR 91.225 - Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment and use and 91.227 Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment performance requirements are the two ADS-B regulations.

Which of following information is not included with ADS-B out transmissions?

Aircraft length and width

Barometric pressure altitude

Aircraft Type Certificate Data

Call sign or N number

Please select an option. Incorrect Aircraft Type Certificate Data is important aircraft certificate information however it is not included as part of the ADS-B data output.

One of the best mitigations of RF leakage while testing transponders is to utilize a combination of antenna couplers and RF blankets.

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect The use of antenna couplers and RF blankets are one of the best mitigations for prevention of leaked RF while ground testing transponder systems.

The three sources of ADS-B in are:

ADS-B Direct

Non ADS-B Target

TCAS Transmissions

ADS-B Alternate Link

Please select an option. Incorrect TCAS systems interrogate transponder system and do not output any aircraft position information.

Generation of False Targets while ground testing Transponders, TCAS Systems and ADS-B systems can create havoc in the National Airspace System.

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect False Targets or Ghost Targets generated while ground testing pulse equipment have led to disruption of air traffic in the NAS.

ADS-B ground stations are about how many times as sensitive as a transponder or TCAS system?

10 Times

4 Times

2 Times

Nearly Equal

Please select an option. Incorrect ADS-B systems are significantly more sensitive than transponder systems, about 4 times as sensitive.
