ILS

1. Can flight crew manually select MMR for ILS display on PFD PAGE 151
NO
The flight crew cannot manually select a multi-mode receiver (MMR) for the PFD. When a MMR fails, the AIMS
selects another receiver to show on the PFD. LOC and G/S flags show on the PFDs when all MMRs fail.

2. The PARK display can show on the CDU when the FMCF of AIMS does an auto-tune of the receivers. PARK
shows for these conditions:
PARK shows when the ILS is part of the active flight plan and not tuned, and the airplane is more than 200 nm
from top of descent or less than halfway to the destination
The frequency and PARK show when the ILS is part of the active flight plan and not tuned, and the airplane is
less than 200 nm from top of descent or more than halfway to the destination.
3. LOCALIZER DEVIATION WARNING PAGE 152
Localizer deviation warnings occur between 0 and 500 feet RA with localizer captured. Localizer deviation
warnings occur when deviation is more than 1/4 dot or there is a localizer capture fail. The deviation warnings
cause the scales and the pointers to turn yellow and blink at a 5Hz rate.

[Link] the nose radome.
[Link] the fwd side of NLG door.
[Link] the L VOR/MB Rx in the E1-3 shelf. Ans:d

53) The DME system has two interrogators and two antennas.
You manually tune the DME interrogators from the left or right control display units (CDUs).
The center CDU can tune the interrogators if the left or right CDU fails.
Manual tune inputs from the CDUs go through the left and right systems ARINC 629 buses, then to the left and
right AIMS cabinets. Manual tune inputs from the left or right AIMS cabinet comes from the right AIMS
cabinet and goes to the DME interrogators.

54) The CDUs monitor the AIMS cabinets tune functions. If the AIMS tune function fails, the CDUs send a
frequency source select discrete to the DME interrogators. This ground signal from the CDU changes the inputs
from the right AIMS cabinet to the input from the left or right CDU. In the alternate tune mode, the left CDU
alternate tunes the left DME interrogator and the right CDU alternate tunes the right DME interrogator. The
center CDU has no alternate tune function.

55)ILS/DME display is available on PFD and ND & in EXPANDED and CENTERED mode of ND.
56)Which of the following happens on the PFD when LOC pointer shows BANK course.
[Link] frequency field goes blank.
[Link] deviation goes out of view.
[Link] pointer goes out of view.
[Link] flag shows. Ans:c

57) The DME system, the air traffic control (ATC) system, and the traffic alert and collision avoidance system
(TCAS) operate in the same frequency band. When a DME interrogator, an ATC transponder or a TCAS
computer transmits, it sends a suppression pulse through the suppression splitter. This pulse inhibits reception
of the other four units. This prevents damage to the receiver circuits of the other LRUs.

58) The flight management computing function (FMCF) of AIMS can pair the DME station identifier audio with
VOR station identifier audio, or with ILS station identifier audio.

59) The CDU sends a frequency source select discrete to the CPU when the CDU detects an AIMS tune output
fail condition. When the CPU receives the discrete, it changes the input from the right AIMS cabinet to the
[Link] CDU sends direct tune inputs when the CDU is in alternate tune mode.

60) You can tune the ADF receivers manually from the left or right CDU.
The airplane information management system does not do an autotune of the ADF receivers.
The receivers can get tune inputs directly from the left or right CDU (alternate tune) if there is a failure of the
tune inputs through the AIMS cabinets.

61)O/P data from ADF RX goes through AIMS PDF function.

62) Use the maintenance access terminal (MAT) to do a test of the ADF receivers.
The test displays show on the ND:
From one to three seconds, these invalid displays show on the ND.
From three to six seconds, these NCD displays show on the ND.
From six seconds to the end of test, the ND shows the test display with the ADF pointer at 135 degrees in
relation to the face of the ND until the end of test.

MARKER BEACON

a. The marker beacon function only operates in the left VOR/MB receiver.

page 265/266
8. The maintenance access terminal sends a test request signal to the left AIMS CMCF.
The left AIMS CMCF sends the test request signal to the BITE circuits in the VOR/MB receiver.
The results of the test go to the CMCF.
The VOR/MB receiver gets an air/ground discrete signal from the air/ground relay.
The VOR/MB receiver uses this signal to prevent a test in the air.
An internal non-volatile fault memory (NVM) in the BITE circuits uses the air/ground discrete signal.
The NVM uses this signal as an alternate method to define flight legs if the AIMS CMCF fails.

GPWS

1. Gear override switch function on landing gear panel. page 22/vol 2


The gear override switches simulate a gear down condition. The use of this switches prevent alerts when the
flight crew makes gear up approaches intentionally. The flight crew uses the terrain override switch for any of
the following conditions:
- The crew determines position data is not valid
- Terrain awareness alerts show when it is obvious no terrain threats exist.
The switches have guards to keep them in the normal position.

2. Where Terrain information is located? Page 53/ vol2


The GPWC stores a runway database in memory. This database contains the location of all hard surface
runways in the world that are 3,500 feet or more in length. TCF makes a terrain clearance envelope around the
runway. The altitude of the envelope increases as the distance from the airport increases. The GPWC stores a
world-wide terrain database in memory. The GPWC looks at airplane position and track, and compares this
data to the terrain database. If the GPWC finds there is a terrain threat, it makes an alert.

3. Where do u perform GPWC test? Page 82/VOL2

4. Warning alerts that show on PDF. PAGE


Mode 1, 2 and 7

5. Which RA is used for GPWC? Page 10/nav-10


LEFT RA
The GPWC uses radio altitude from the three radio altimeter transceivers. If the three radio altimeter
transceivers are valid, the GPWC selects the left radio altimeter transceiver if the left radio altitude is within
500 feet of the center or right radio altitudes.
If the three radio altimeter transceivers are valid and the left radio altitude is not within 500 feet of the center
or right radio altitudes, the GPWC uses the center radio altimeter transceiver if its altitude is within 500 feet of
the right radio altitude.
If the three radio altimeter transceivers are valid and the left, right, and center radio altitudes are different by
more than 500 feet between each other, the GPWC uses the left radio altimeter transceiver.
If there are less than three valid radio altimeter transceivers, the GPWC selects one of the radio altimeter
transceivers in this order:
- Left
- Center
- Right

6. Warning display for mode-1. page24/nav-2


Mode 1 supplies alerts and warnings for large descent rates when the airplane is near the terrain. This mode is
independent of flap or gear positions.
Mode 1 alerts or warnings occur between 2450 feet and 30 feet. The rate of descent sets the point at which
mode 1 alert occur.
The alert consists of these annunciations:
- Aural message SINK RATE
- Ground proximity light on the landing gear panel.
If the descent rate does not decrease, the alert changes to a warning. These are the warning annunciations:
- A red PULL-UP message on the PFD
- Red master warning lights
- The aural message PULL-UP.

7. Condition for GPWC test from front panel. Page73/nav-2


Level 1 is a GO/NO-GO operational test. A level 1 test provides visual and aural annunciations on the flight

The use of these switches prevent alerts when the flight crew makes flaps up or gear up approaches intentionally.

7)Terrain information for GPWS comes from FMC database. (false).


The enhanced GPWS function also contains an airport database. This database contains terrain information for all
hard surface runways 3500 feet or longer. GPWS compares airplane position and runway location to find if there
is an alert condition.

8)GPWS test can be done from 1. MAT and 2. Front face of GPWC.

9)Warning alerts on PFD are for MODE 1, 2 and 7.


FLIGHT INTERPHONE (comm. vol-2)

1. How does ACP get powered? Page 12


General
Power for the flight interphone system comes through circuit breakers in the overhead circuit breaker panel.
The audio management unit (AMU) has a connector board and four station cards, one for each of the flight
crew stations. Each station card has a power supply for its circuits.
INTERPHONE-CAPT Circuit Breaker (CAPT flight inst bus 28VDC- this statement is as per diagram on page 12):
The INTERPHONE-CAPT circuit breaker connects 28v dc to these components:
- Captain's flight interphone speaker
- Captain's card
- Captain's audio control panel (ACP) through the AMU.

INTERPHONE-F/O Circuit Breaker (CAPT FLT INST BUS AND F/O flight inst bus 28VDC- this statement is as per
diagram on page 12): The INTERPHONE-F/O circuit breaker connects 28v dc to these components:
- First officer's flight interphone speaker
- First officer's card
- First officer's ACP through the AMU.

INTERPHONE-OBS Circuit Breaker (CAPT flight inst bus 28VDC- this statement is as per diagram on page 12):
The INTERPHONE-OBS circuit breaker connects 28v dc to these components:
- First observer's card
- First observer's ACP through the AMU.

INTERPHONE-S/OBS Circuit Breaker (F/O flight inst bus 28VDC- this statement is as per diagram on page 12):
The INTERPHONE-S/OBS circuit breaker connects 28v dc to the:
- Second observer's card
- Second observer's ACP through the AMU.

Master Dim and Test


Each ACP gets 5v ac and 28v dc from the master dim and test (MD&T) system. The ACP uses 5v ac for the panel
lights and 28v dc for:
- Call lights
- Mic lights
- Receive LEDs.

2. No of stations for flight interphone page 14/5


The flight interphone system has these four flight deck stations:
- Captain
- First officer
- First observer
- Second observer
The ground crew uses jacks in the main equipment center (MEC) and on the service and APU shutdown panel
to connect to the flight interphone system.

3. Flight interphone speakers location page 30


The captain and first officer flight interphone speakers are near the related hand microphone jacks.
The captain's and first officer's flight interphone speakers receive audio from the audio management
unit (AMU). You use the speaker volume control on the audio control panel (ACP) to select and adjust the
volume of the related speaker.
Speaker Volume Control Page 24
This control is functional only on the audio control panels in the captain and first officer positions. The speaker
volume control turns on or off the flight deck speaker at the related station and adjusts its volume.

4. Function of SERVICE INTERPHONE switch page 64


The service interphone jacks are in three groups:
- Service interphone 1
- Service interphone 2
- Service interphone 3.
Each group sends a single audio input to the audio management unit (AMU).
The AMU mixes the audio from all three groups. It sends this mixed audio back to the headsets in all groups.
The AMU mixes the service interphone audio with the flight interphone audio if the service interphone switch
is in the ON position.

If you put the service interphone switch in the ON position, the service interphone system connects to these
flight interphone components: page 70
- Flight deck flight interphone jacks
- Main equipment center flight interphone jack
- P40 service and APU shutdown panel flight interphone jack.
GROUND CREW CALL

1. Purpose of ground crew call. Page 78


The ground crew call system has these three functions:
- It tells flight deck personnel that there is a call from the ground
- It tells ground personnel that there is a call from the flight deck
- It tells ground personnel that the air data inertial reference unit (ADIRU) is on battery power or that there is
an equipment cooling failure.
Flight Deck Call page 88
Push the momentary FLIGHT DECK CALL switch to cause these three indications in the flight deck:
- A single high-low chime comes on through the aural warning speakers
- The FLT CALL lights on the audio control panels (ACP) come on
- The message GROUND CALL shows on EICAS.
Ground Crew Call
To call the ground crew, the flight crew selects GND CREW on the center CDU cabin interphone menu or uses
the flight deck handset. This causes the ground crew call horn to come on.

2. No. of MIC in flight interphone page 5


Flight Crew Interfaces
The flight crew uses microphone (mic) switches on these components to send audio to the AMU:
- Glareshield
- Control column
- Hand microphone
- Audio control panel (ACP)

A microphone on these components lets the flight crew speak on the flight interphone system:
- Hand mic
- Oxygen mask
- Headset (through the boom mic/headphone panel).

3. When does HORN come on ground? Page 80


The ground crew call horn also comes on when the airplane is on the ground and one of these occurs:
- flight crew selects GND CREW on the center CDU cabin interphone menu or uses the flight deck handset. This
causes the ground crew call horn to come on.
- There is an equipment cooling failure
- The air data inertial reference unit (ADIRU) is on and there is no ac power on the airplane (ADIRU IS ON HOT
BATTERY BUS).

4. What is the function of horn enable relay? Page 94


(ELMS) electronic unit on the standby power management panel energizes the horn enable relay when the
airplane is on the ground. When there is an equipment cooling failure, the horn enable relay also energizes.

5. Number of groups in service interphone. Page 64


The service interphone jacks are in three groups:
- Service interphone 1 - 06
- Service interphone 2 - 02
- Service interphone 3 - 06
Each group sends a single audio input to the audio management unit (AMU).
The AMU mixes the audio from all three groups. It sends this mixed audio back to the headsets in all groups.

6. Function of observer audio select panel switch. Page 8/28


The observer audio selector is on the P8 aft aisle stand panel.
Purpose
The observer audio selector controls the inputs and outputs of the first observer's station card in the audio
management unit (AMU). The switch lets the captain or first officer use the first observer's audio control panel
(ACP) if their AMU audio station card or ACP has a failure.
Selector Positions
When you select CAPT, the captain's inputs and outputs connect to the first observer's station card. When you
select NORM, the first observer's inputs and outputs connect to the first observer's station card.
When you select F/O, the first officer's inputs and outputs connect to the first observer's station card.

7. Location of four station cards. Page 28/30


Respective card will get respective input. First observer card input depends upon selection made on first
observer audio select panel switch.
The audio management unit (AMU) has a connector board and four station cards, one for each of the flight
crew stations. Each station card has a power supply for its circuits. Each station connects to a related circuit
card in the audio management unit (AMU)
HF/VHF

1. No. of RTP
Each RTP sends tuning data to the other RTPs on crosstalk buses. This keeps the RTP tuning data synchronized
and permits any RTP to tune any transceiver.
The HF SENS control sets the RF sensitivity level of the onside HF transceiver. The left RTP sets the left HF
sensitivity. The right RTP sets the right HF sensitivity. The center RTP HF SENS control does not connect to
any transceiver. Page 122

2. All dashes on frequency windows page 122


The RTP does a test of itself continuously. The RTP shows PANEL FAIL in the two frequency display windows
when the RTP has an internal failure or there is a system failure.
The two frequency windows show all dashes if the flight crew selects a failed radio.

3. What sign u will get on a SELCAL call? Page 196/198

4. An alert message shows when the SELCAL decoder gets a SELCAL signal. The alert message, SELCAL, is a
comm. medium message. With the comm medium message there is a high/low chime from the aural warning
speakers.
On the audio control panel, a transmitter select switch CALL light comes on when the SELCAL decoder gets a
SELCAL signal. To make the CALL light go off, push the transmitter select switch. If the MIC light for that
transmitter select switch is on, push any mic switch or that transmitter select switch to reset the call light.

5. Audio data-link, how it is done? Page 112


To receive and transmit data, the VHF communication system uses the three radio tuning panels (RTPs) and only
two VHF communication transceivers (right or center VHF xcvr). These components continuously
communicate with the airplane information management system (AIMS) during data communication.

6. HF operates: page 140


HF communication transceivers (2) - operate in the AM or upper side band (USB) mode.

7. From where CMCF get inputs? Page 114


The left AIMS cabinet CMCF sends all test requests to the VHF transceivers. The transceivers return the test
requests to the CMCF.

8. Port A,B PAGE 108


The left RTP sends a port select discrete to the left and center transceivers. The right RTP sends a port select
discrete to the right transceiver.
Each transceiver has two tuning data input ports; port A and port B. The transceiver uses the port select discrete
to select its input port. A grounded port select discrete causes the transceiver to use port A. An open port
select discrete causes the transceiver to use port B.

9. LEFT AND RIGHT RTP can tune to how many xcvr? Page108/150
Both the left and right RTPs send tuning data to all three transceivers and to the left and right AIMS cabinets.
Both the left and right RTPs send tuning data to both HF communication transceivers and to the left and right
AIMS cabinets.
[Link] communication is through ACP via AMU.

1) Crew selects VHF ‘C’ on RH RTP. Both windows show dashes. This indicates  VHF ‘C’ transceiver failure.
The RTP does a test of itself continuously. The RTP shows PANEL FAIL in the two frequency display windows
when the RTP has an internal failure or there is a system [Link] two frequency windows show all
dashes if the flight crew selects a failed radio.
1) The VHF COMM sys connects with AIMS for these functions
[Link] DCGF
[Link]
[Link]
[Link] the above ans :d

2) On the RTP, the HF SENS control sets the RF sensitivity level of the onside HF transceiver. The left RTP sets
the left HF sensitivity. The right RTP sets the right HF sensitivity. The center RTP HF SENS control does not
connect to any transceiver.

3) The HF communication system connects with these components:


a. only with lh/rh RTP.
b. SELCAL decoder. and also connects to all RTPs.
[Link] connected to ACP not via AMU.
[Link] the above statements are correct ans: b.
The HF communication system connects with these components:
- Three radio tuning panels (RTPs) - send tuning data and mode data to the HF transceivers
- Audio management unit (AMU) - microphone audio and push-to-talk (PTT) discretes go to the transceiver
through the AMU; received audio goes from the transceiver to the speakers and headsets through the AMU
- SELCAL decoder - gives alerts to the flight crew when the airplane receives a call.

4)An HF antenna coupler fault indicates what condition?


[Link]/Tune sequence faults or arcing in the coupler
[Link] condition in the coupler.
[Link] ckt in the control bus
[Link] of HF antenna ans:a

To do a reset of the indications, push the CALL light on the audio control panel or push the mic switch for the
related radio.
T F To reset a SELCAL call received on the right HF radio, you push the right HF sw on the RTP.

7)If MODE SELECT discrete is grounded then PORT A is used.


When the left RTP is on, it sends a grounded port select discrete to the left HF transceiver. The left
transceiver uses port A as its input port when its port select discrete is a ground. Port A of the left transceiver
connects to the left RTP. The left RTP supplies tuning data to the left HF [Link] interface between
the right HF transceiver and the right RTP is the same as the left.
8)Audio DATALINK is done by all RTPS via LEFT & CENTER transceivers.
To receive and transmit data, the VHF communication system uses the three radio tuning panels (RTPs) and
only two VHF communication transceivers.

9)VHF sys ground test request is done by left AIMS cabinet.


The transceivers use the AIMS central maintenance computing function (CMCF) for on ground maintenance
tests. The right AIMS cabinet CMCF sends ground maintenance test requests to the left AIMS cabinet. The
left AIMS cabinet CMCF sends all test requests to the VHF transceivers. The transceivers return the test
requests to the CMCF.

10)T F The left RTP only tunes the left VHF and left HF radios.
T F The VHF transceivers can be used for air grnd datalink.

WEATHER RADAR

1. When WINDSHEAR function is active? Page 125- nav-2


System On/Off - Approach
PWS turns on automatically when the airplane descends below 2300 feet radio altitude. PWS turns off
automatically when one of these conditions exists:
- Airplane lands
- Airplane climbs above 2300 feet radio altitude.

2. What are the display modes of EFIS on ND? PAGE 125/NAV-2


The ND mode selector must be in a correct mode for the wind-shear data to show. These are the ND modes that
show wind-shear data:
- Expanded APP
- Expanded VOR
- Expanded MAP
- Centered MAP
Wind-shear data does not show above 1200 feet radio altitude.

3. From where Weather Radar tests can be performed? Page 149/150 Nav-2
a. Use the MAT to do a test of the WXR system.
b. Select TEST on the WXR control panel to start self test.

10)WXR PWS function is active below 2300ft. Windshear data does not show above 1200 feet radio altitude.

11) The left and right AIMS cabinets receives WXR on/off discrete inputs from the left and right EFIS CP or left,
center, and right CDUs and sends the discrete to the WXR [Link] WXR panel sends the ON/OFF discrete
to the left and right RTs. This discrete permits the selected RT to operate.
The RTs send 28v dc to the WXR control panel for the power interlock (INTRLK) and RT ENABLE. The WXR CP RT
ENABLE goes to the WXR RT to enable operation.
The RT ENABLE also causes the waveguide switch to connect the antenna to the selected RT. When the selected
RT operates, it sends 28v to the WXR panel power supply to make the WXR panel [Link] WXR antenna
assembly gets 115v ac power from the WXR RTs.

12) There is a horizontal scan and elevation scan disable switch on the antenna pedestal to permit you to
remove power to the scan and elevation stepper motors. Use these switches to inhibit movement of the
antenna during maintenance. The switches do not stop RF transmissions from the WXR RT.

13) When you push the WXR map switch on the EFIS control panel:
- The WXR RT selected on the WXR panel starts to operate
- The WXR data shows on the onside ND.
14) The ND modes that show a WXR display are:
- Expanded APP (approach) mode
- Expanded VOR mode
- Expanded MAP mode
- Centered MAP mode.

15) PWS turns on automatically when the airplane is on the ground and one of these conditions exists:
- One engine gets to takeoff thrust
- Flight crew pushes the WXR button on an EFIS control panel or control display unit (CDU).
The WXR button on the EFIS CP does not turn off the PWS if the engines are at takeoff thrust. PWS turns off
automatically when the airplane climbs above 2300 feet radio altitude.

16) These two range disagreement messages are possible:


- WXR RANGE DISAGREE - shows a difference between the EFIS CP range and the WXR RT range
- MAP/WXR RANGE DISAGREE - shows a difference between the EFIS CP range, the WXR RT range, and the
FMCF range.

- Define flight legs in the non-volatile memory if the CMCFs fail.

3. Function of ABOVE/NORM/BELOW switch on ATC panel? Page 216/nav-2


The above-normal-below (ABOVE-NORM-BELOW) switch controls the amount of altitude that shows for the
TCAS display on the captain's and first officer's ND. The switch has these three positions:
- ABOVE; this makes the ND show intruder airplanes that are from 2700 feet below to 9900 feet above
present airplane altitude
- NORMAL; this makes the ND show intruder airplanes that are within 2700 feet below or above present
airplane altitude
- BELOW; this makes the ND show intruder airplanes that are from 9900 feet below to 2700 feet above
present airplane altitude.

4. RA indications on PFD. Page 234/nav-2


These are the two types of TCAS advisories that can show on the PFD:
TCAS preventative down advisory
TCAS preventative up advisory.
These symbols only show for an RA when the function selector on the transponder panel is in the TA/RA or TA
ONLY position and TCAS communicates with threat airplanes that have TCAS.
Description
The red advisories that show on the attitude display tell the flight crew to avoid this area. (Termed as CUE)
