NAV.
- C.
ATT.
- D.
ON.
Correct Answer
B. NAV.Explanation
During the preliminary cockpit preparation, the IRS (Inertial Reference System) Mode Selectors are positioned to "NAV" which stands for Navigation. This means that the system is set to the navigation mode, allowing the IRS to provide accurate position and navigation information to the aircraft. The NAV mode is crucial for the aircraft to determine its position, track, and other important navigation parameters during the flight.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a major component of the inertial system?
- A.
Air data inertial reference units (ADIRU).
- B.
Inertial system display unit (ISDU).
- C.
Instrument Display Unit (IDU) transfer switch.
- D.
Mode select unit (MSU)
Correct Answer
C. Instrument Display Unit (IDU) transfer switch.Explanation
The inertial system is a navigation system that uses inertial sensors to provide accurate position, velocity, and attitude information. The major components of the inertial system include the Air data inertial reference units (ADIRU), which combine air data and inertial data, the Inertial system display unit (ISDU), which displays the information from the ADIRU, and the Mode select unit (MSU), which allows the pilot to select different modes of operation. The Instrument Display Unit (IDU) transfer switch is not a major component of the inertial system, as it is not directly involved in the navigation function but rather in the transfer of information between different instrument display units.Rate this question:

If the FAULT light on the IRS Mode Selector Unit illuminates, it indicates:
- A.
The IRS is NOT in ALIGN mode.
- B.
An entry of an invalid present position.
- C.
A system fault affecting the related IRS ATT and/or NAV mode has been detected.
- D.
That DC power for the respective IRS is not normal.
Correct Answer
C. A system fault affecting the related IRS ATT and/or NAV mode has been detected.Explanation
The FAULT light on the IRS Mode Selector Unit illuminates when a system fault affecting the related IRS ATT and/or NAV mode has been detected. This means that there is an issue with the IRS system that is responsible for the aircraft's attitude and navigation modes. It could indicate a malfunction or failure in the IRS system, which needs to be addressed and fixed before further operation.Rate this question:
