2,3,4,5
Q12. ** What does the TCAS indication (in red) at the right mean? (Visual Q.)
An aircraft 300 ft above is descending at 500 fpm or more.
Q13. #TCAS indicates proximate traffic as a…………
Cyan solid diamond.
Q14. **When TCAS indications are provided on the VSI they will include? 1. Symbols to indicate the vertical positions of intruder and proximate traffic. 2. Arrows to indicate the vertical motion of intruder and proximate traffic. 3. The rates of climb or descent to be avoided to resolve conflicts. 4. The recommended rate of climb or decent to resolve conflicts 5. The track and CAS of intruder and proximate traffic.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Q15. #A TCAS RA is?
A resolution advisory is an aural and visual recommendation of the manoeuvres or manoeuvre restrictions in the vertical plane, to resolve the conflict – RA is recommendation of the manoeuvres – action “” A resolution advisory is an aural and visual recommendation of the manoeuvres or manoeuvre restrictions in the vertical plane, to resolve conflicts with made S SSR capable aircraft.”” wrong answer because you will get RA from Mode C transponder also…
Q16. * The correct response to a TCAS RA is?
Comply with descent/climb commands immediately and smoothly.
Q17. ## If an intruder aircraft has a Mode C transponder, TCAS 2 can give?
TA and RA in the vertical plane only.
Q18. TCAS 2 display may be provided on?
Any of the above depending on aircraft type.
Q19. **How should a pilot respond to TCAS RA?
Disengage the autopilot the immediately comply with climb and descent commands in a smooth manner.
Q20. #Non-conflicting traffic is indicated by?
Hollow cyan.
Q21. How does TCAS indicate other traffic that is not assessed as a threat?
A cyan hollow diamond
Q22. The use of the TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) for avoiding an aircraft in flight is now general. TCAS uses for its operation..
The replies from the transponders of other aircraft.
Q23. *** With reference to Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems:
RAs may be disregarded only when the pilot visually identifies the potentially conflicting traffic and decides that no deviation is necessary.
Q24. *Which of the following statements concerning TCAS is correct:
TCAS II cannot provide information on non-SSR equipped intruders
Q25. ## The Intruder is (Visual Q.)
300 below climbing with 500 feet per minute or more
Q26. *** A corrective advisory is?
A resolution advisory which tells the pilot which rates of climb or descent to use to resolve conflicts.
Q27. ** What does the TCAS indication (in red) at the right mean? (Visual Q.)
An aircraft 300 ft below is climbing at 500 fpm or more.
Q28. ## The aural messages provided by TCAS II are:
Climb; Descend; Increase Climb; Increase Descent
Q29. # A “TCAS II (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) provides?
The intruder relative position and possibly an indication of a collision avoidance manoeuvre within the vertical plane only.
Q30. Other traffic not constituting a threat is indicated by…………On TCAS?
a hollow white or cyan diamond – Other traffic — Not a threat — represented by a hollow white diamond – monochromatic display or a hollow cyan diamond — color display
Q31. *Concerning the TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System)?
No protection is available against aircraft not equipped with a serviceable SSR transponder. – Wrong option – Resolution Advisory (RA) must not be followed without obtaining clearance from ATC. when you will get RA follow immediately. you don’t require clearance from ATC. When you are clear of conflict/threat then you can inform ATC.
Q32. TCAS 2 fitted with mode C transponders only can provide?
Vertical TA and RA.
Q33. A TCAS2 RA is indicated by?
Red square.
Q34. #A TCAS TA is?
A traffic advisory message indicating aircraft in the vicinity which may become a threat.
Q35. On receipt of a TCAS RA your action is to:
initiate the required manoeuvre immediately
Q36. *From what does TCAS obtain its data? 1. Inertial reference unit. 2. Barometric altimeters. 3. RADALT. 4. Mode S transponders. 5. Additional equipment specific to each aircraft type
1,3, 4, 5. – no need of altimeter input because it has altitude from TRANSPONDER
Q37. #A preventive RA is represented by a………On a TCAS II?
Red square.
Q38. ## TCAS preventive Ra’s include?
Monitor vertical speed.
Q39. What information will TCAS provide to indicate an intruder aircraft with no altitude reporting facility?
TA only . – no altitude reporting facility means mode A
Q40. # The Intruder is: (Visual Q.)
500 above descending with 500 feet per minute or more
Q41. TCAS RA is indicated by?
Red square.
Q42. **How should a pilot respond to a TCAS TA?
Contact ATC before manoeuvring. – when you will get TA – do not maneuver – just monitor and do visual look out for intruder. but if you want to maneuver then you “Contact ATC before maneuvering”
Q43. # Inputs to TCAS 2 include?
Mode S transponders to coordinate avoidance manoeuvres.
Q44. An intruding “traffic advisory” is represented on the display system of the TCAS 2 (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) by displaying?
A yellow full circle.
