Learning

TAAs are aircraft with a minimum of:

Primary Flight Display, Autopilot, and retractable landing gear

Electronic Primary Flight Display (PFD), Moving map (MFD), and an integrated autopilot

An IFR-certified GPS Navigation System, Primary Flight Display, and Moving Map (MFD)

Dual GPS, Autopilot, and retractable landing gear

Please select an option. Incorrect Landing gear is not required for an aircraft to be considered a TAA, and TAAs are aircraft in which the pilot interfaces with one or more computers to aviate, navigate, and communicate.

Which of the following can be installed in a non-TAA aircraft to make it qualify as TAA?

Mode S transponder

IFR-Certified GPS

Onboard Radar

Navomatic 300 Autopilot

Please select an option. Incorrect TAAs are centered around the idea of a ‘glass cockpit’, which consists of some form of PFD, MFD, and navigation systems, plus a dual-axis autopilot.

The TAA Safety Study found that TAA’s provide:

Available Safety

Probable Safety

Imminent Safety

Redundant Safety

Please select an option. Incorrect TAA’s provide potential for increased safety, but it requires more training due to complexity. However, more tools are made available to the pilot to increase safety in the cockpit.

What color is the active source state in the top right corner of the IFD?

Cyan

Green

Yellow

Gray

Please select an option. Incorrect Source states that are cyan or yellow in color indicate an armed state or an inactive flight plan, respectively.

What does the ‘Auto Enable Missed’ option in User Options do for the pilot?

Loads the published missed approach procedure for the selected approach into the flight plan

Automatically activates the missed approach procedure when the aircraft crosses the MAP

Activates the missed approach procedure when approach is activated

Transitions the IFD from GPS to VLOC when certain capture criteria are met

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD user interface works to reduce workload in critical phases of flight, including missed approaches, by using GPS position to automatically sequence the procedure.

In terms of Frequency Nomination, the Airport tab will populate frequencies if on ground within 10nm of the origin, and destination frequencies when within ____ NM of the destination.

20 NM

30 NM

40 NM

50 NM

Please select an option. Incorrect Once you are within 40 NM of your destination, the Airport tab will populate all frequencies associated with your destination airport to include ATIS, AWOS, tower, and ground frequencies.

What is GLAS and what does it do?

GLONASS Legacy Aircraft System provides GPS position for Part 25 aircraft

GPS Linear Airway System unlocks jet airways in the FMS

Ground Latency Aviation Support increases the range of Mode S transponders onboard

GPS Legacy Avionics Support enables LPV on Proline 21 and Primus 1000 EFIS systems

Please select an option. Incorrect GLAS is an enablement that sends deviation signals to the legacy system that previously could not fly GPS approaches.

What color are airports when entered into the flight plan of the IFD?

Magenta

Grey

Blue

Green

Please select an option. Incorrect The active waypoint will always be magenta, but waypoints recognized as an airport will otherwise be blue.

What gives the pilot the ability to get to any page in 1 or 2 clicks?

Page and tab user interface

Hybrid Touch

GeoFill

Nested Menu System

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD does not use nested menu systems with icons. Instead, the IFD user interface uses plain English and a system of 3 or 4 pages (depending on model) with associated tabs to quickly navigate the system.

Forward-Looking Terrain Alerting (FLTA) is a TAWS function that projects a ___ and ___-second warning of imminent CFIT.

45, 30

30, 15

60, 30

45, 10

Please select an option. Incorrect Yellow FLTA indications on the map indicates where the aircraft will impact terrain in 45 seconds if no control inputs are made, and red indicates where the impact will be in 30 seconds.
