Altitude Alert System

1) The Altitude Alert system alerts the pilot:

a) at decision height.

b) at the selected altitude.

c) when reference altitude equals the selected altitude.

d) when deviating from the selected altitude.

2) A transport airplane has to be equipped with an altitude warning device. This system will warn the crew about:

1. getting close to the preselected altitude, during both climb and descent.
2. getting close to the preselected altitude, during climb only.
3. the loss of altitude during take-off or missed approach.
4. a wrong landing configuration.
5. a variation higher or lower than a preselected altitude.

The combination regrouping the correct statements is:

a) 2.

b) 3, 4.

c) 1, 5.

d) 1, 3, 4.

3) An "altitude warning system" must at least warn the crew:

1. when approaching the pre-selected altitude

2. when the airplane is approaching the ground too fast
3. in case of a given deviation above or below the pre-selected altitude (at least by an aural warning)
4. in case of excessive vertical speed
5. when approaching the ground with the gear retracted

The combination regrouping all the correct statements is:

a) 2, 4, 5.

b) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

c) 1, 3.

d) 1, 3, 4.

4) The Altitude Alert system:

a) may alert by visual signals when approaching the selected altitude.

b) activates a warning light on reaching selected altitude.

c) engages auto-trim on reaching selected altitude.

d) disengages auto-trim on reaching selected altitude.

5) The purpose of the altitude alert system is to generate a visual and aural warning to the pilot when the:
a) airplane altitude differs from a selected altitude.

b) airplane altitude is equal to the decision altitude.

c) proximity to the ground becomes dangerous.

d) altimeter setting differs from the standard setting above the transition altitude.

6) An altitude alerting system must at least be capable of alerting the crew on:

1. Approaching selected altitude.

2. Excessive deviation from selected altitude.
3. Excessive vertical speed.
4. Excessive terrain closure.
5. Abnormal gear/flap combination
a) 1&2.

b) 1,2,3&4.

c) 1,2,3,4&5.

d) 1,2&3.
