What other flight instruments must be retained with an E5 system for IFR operation?

Airspeed, Altimeter, and Turn & Bank (or Attitude Indicator)

Handheld GPS or tablet

VSI, Altimeter, and Directional Gyro

Airspeed, Altimeter, and VSI

Please select an option. Incorrect Airspeed, Altitude and Turn & Bank (or Attitude indicator) are required for partial panel operations, similar to partial panel operations with a vacuum pump failure.

When is the proper time to think about the E5 configuration settings?

During installation planning

Immediately after initial power is applied

Between second and third call to Technical Support

After customer arrives to pick up the aircraft

Please select an option. Incorrect Planning interfaces to other equipment requires consideration of the other equipment’s capabilities and requirements. Being aware of this information before the project starts can help avoid last minute changes.

When planning the RSM installation location, what must be avoided?

Any source of magnetic interference

Electrical motors and servos

Lightning strike “hot spots”

All of the above

Please select an option. Incorrect The RSM is a key component in the E5 system and contains very sensitive magnetic field detectors, installing the RSM near any source of interference will cause heading errors and in extreme cases flagged attitude.

When choosing a location for the RSM, the use of what simple tool can help detect magnetic interference?

Handheld compass

Pneumatic drill

25W Soldering iron

Ball peen hammer

Please select an option. Incorrect A handheld compass and the installation manual can be used to detect sources of magnetic interference before drilling any holes.

When installing an E5 in accordance with the AML-STC Approved Installation Manual, which bus must power the display?

Buss Fuses

Avionics Bus

Battery Bus

Emergence Bus

Please select an option. Incorrect The battery bus is the correct choice. The avionics bus may need to be turned off in flight if one of the radios emits smoke.

To meet HIRF and lightning protection requirements, which serial data wiring harnesses must utilize either a double layer shielded cable or single layer shielded cable with an additional over braid?

E5 to RSM

ACU to analog GPS

E5 to ACU, E5 to GPS/VLOC

Power input wiring

Please select an option. Incorrect The E5 installation manual requires the ARINC429 and RS232 wiring into and out of the E5 display to include two layers of shielding to protect from HIRF and lightning. The other connections do not require two layers.

Which of the following documents must be included in the aircraft maintenance records with the ICA, following an installation of an E5 system in accordance with the AML-STC?

ICA, Wiring Diagrams, Configuration Settings, Pre-Mod checklist and Final check sheet

Electrical load analysis, LRU and Cable Routing diagram, Wiring diagram, Configurations, FAA form 373

Flight manual supplement, Operator configuration checklist and Final check sheet, Log book entry

Installation manual, STC coversheet, Certificate of conformance, LRU and Cable Routing diagram, Wiring diagram, Configuration chart

Please select an option. Incorrect The Final Check Sheet in appendix B of the E5 installation Manual lists the documents that must be provided to the customer. The list includes ICA with copy of wiring diagrams, copy of Configuration Settings, copy of Pre-Modification Checklist, and the Final Check Sheet itself.

Which Installation Menu setting is used to make small changes to the pitch attitude reference mark on the E5 when the E5 indicates consistently nose high or nose down in straight and level cruise?

PANEL TILT PITCH ADJ

PANEL ROLL ADJ

ATTITUDE REF SYMBOL ADJ

FD PITCH OFFSET ADJ

Please select an option. Incorrect The correct answer is Attitude Reference Symbol Adjust, the Panel Tilt should only be set for the actual panel tilt and the other two answers would not affect the pitch attitude indication.

After the PFD is installed and properly aligned, the level-flight pitch indication may change with speed and aircraft loading and cannot be adjusted by the pilot?

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect Many pilots wrongly believe the parallax adjustment knob on mechanical attitude indicators should be used to set the attitude indicator to read zero degrees in pitch. A parallax adjustment is only meant to be used to correct for different viewing angles. Since there is no parallax error in the E5 display, there is no pilot accessible adjustment. The E5 is much more sensitive and has a higher pitch resolution than older mechanical attitude indicators, it is normal to see the pitch change as the aircraft configuration changes.

Which data on the E5 Diagnostics Screen can help a technician confirm magnetic interference of the RSM magnetometer?

MAC Address

Parity errors

IMU Temperature

High or low Magnetometer (GAUSS) values

Please select an option. Incorrect The magnetometer values should match those on the NOAA charts for a given location. If they are higher or lower than expected, then magnetic interference and heading errors are likely.
