What is the standard barometric setting in inches of mercury (Hg) used above altitudes of 18,000 feet?
- 2.92.
- 29.2.
- 22.92.
- 29.92
Correct Answer

A. 29.92

Explanation

The standard barometric setting in inches of mercury (Hg) used above altitudes of 18,000 feet is 29.92. This is the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level and is commonly used as a reference point for aviation purposes. As altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases, and pilots need to adjust their altimeters to account for this change. The correct answer of 29.92 indicates that this is the standard setting to be used above 18,000 feet.

- Central computer (CC).
- Air data computer (ADC).
- Multiple indicator control panel (MICP).
- Programmable signal data processor (PSDP).
Correct Answer

A. Air data computer (ADC).

Explanation

The air data computer (ADC) is responsible for collecting and processing various flight data parameters such as angle of attack (AOA), Mach number, pressure ratio, and barometric corrected altitude. It then sends this data across MUX bus channels 1 and 3. The central computer (CC) is the main processing unit of the aircraft and does not specifically handle flight data. The multiple indicator control panel (MICP) is used for controlling and monitoring various aircraft systems, but it does not send flight data. The programmable signal data processor (PSDP) is not directly involved in collecting or sending flight data.

The F-15 central computer (CC) sends overload warning system (OWS) information to which line replaceable unit (LRU)?
- Air data computer.
- Inertial navigation unit.
- Head-up display (HUD) data processor.
- OVERLOAD WARNING RESET switch.
Correct Answer

A. Head-up display (HUD) data processor.

Explanation

The F-15 central computer (CC) sends overload warning system (OWS) information to the Head-up display (HUD) data processor. The HUD data processor is responsible for receiving and processing information related to the aircraft's display system. This includes receiving alerts and warnings from various systems, such as the overload warning system. Therefore, it makes sense for the CC to send OWS information to the HUD data processor so that the pilot can be alerted to any potential overloads or issues.

Which F-15 video tape recording system light will come on/flash when moisture is detected inside video tape recorder?
- FAIL.
- CAUTION.
- MOISTURE.
- Record (REC).
Correct Answer

A. CAUTION.

Explanation

The correct answer is "CAUTION." In the given question, it is stated that the light will come on or flash when moisture is detected inside the video tape recorder. The word "CAUTION" is commonly used to indicate a warning or potential danger. Therefore, it is logical to assume that the "CAUTION" light would be designed to alert the user about the presence of moisture, indicating a need for caution or potential damage to the system.

On an F-15, the operation of the air data computer (ADC) is divided into
- Three sections: input data converter (IDC), digital processor (DP), output data processor (ODC).
- Five sections: IDC, DP, ODC, pitot and static pressure sensor inputs, and power supply.
- Six sections: IDC, DP, ODC, power supply, calibrator, and built-in test (BIT).
- Four sections: IDC, DP, ODC, pitot and static pressure sensor inputs.
Correct Answer

A. Five sections: IDC, DP, ODC, pitot and static pressure sensor inputs, and power supply.

Explanation

The correct answer is five sections: IDC, DP, ODC, pitot and static pressure sensor inputs, and power supply. This is because the operation of the air data computer on an F-15 is divided into these five sections. The IDC is responsible for converting input data, the DP processes the digital data, the ODC processes the output data, the pitot and static pressure sensor inputs provide necessary pressure measurements, and the power supply ensures the computer is powered properly.

Into which component of the internal countermeasures system (ICMS) are the band 3 operational flight program (OFP) and preflight message (PFM) loaded?
- Preamplifier
- Band 3 oscillator.
- Band 3 aft RF amplifier.
- Band 3 forward RF amplifier.
Correct Answer

A. Band 3 oscillator.

Explanation

The band 3 operational flight program (OFP) and preflight message (PFM) are loaded into the Band 3 oscillator component of the internal countermeasures system (ICMS).
