Yes, providing it is programmed with VNAV or LNAV settings.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 212. Approaching top of descent, the destination aerodrome ATIS includes RVRs around 200 m, with Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) in force. The Commander's windscreen heat failed, with an annunciated alert, in the cruise. Does it affect the autoland?
YES, since visual contact is important during the last stage of landing.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 213. Flight Envelope Protection systems of an aircraft with conventional flight controls (non fly-by-wire) can include: 1. Stall protection. 2. Overbank protection. 3. Overspeed protection. 4. Overpitch protection.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 214. The flight envelope protection system prevents the aircraft from exceeding the limits of the following parameters (among others): 1. N1 2. Angle of attack 3. Speed 4. Pitch attitude 5. Flight level The combination that of all correct statements is:
2, 3, 4.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 215. The Yaw Damper system: 1. Counters any wrong pilot action on the rudder pedals. 2. Counters Dutch roll. 3. Is active only when autopilot is engaged. The combination of all the correct statements is:
2.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 216. An aeroplane has a yaw damper that is unserviceable, and by the MEL is restricted to fly only at or below FL170. What is the potential problem that the yaw damper is intended to prevent from happening at high altitudes?
Dutch roll.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 217. The Yaw Damper system is designed to increase the damping ratio of:
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 218. A yaw damper:
Is a rudder damper and its purpose is to prevent Dutch roll.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 219. Which one of the following statements is true with regard to the operation of a Mach trim system:
It only operates above a pre-determined Mach number.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 220. When the autopilot ls engaged, the role of the automatic pitch trim is to:
relieve the autopilot servo motor and return the aircraft in-trim when disconnecting the autopilot .
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 221. You are flying an aircraft at FL350 with the autopilot engaged in VNAV and LNAV modes. What are the consequences of an auto-trim failure in these conditions?
The autopilot will disconnect and the pilot flying should take the controls.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 222. What is the green band/area on a pitch trim indicator?
The range within which the stabiliser trim should be set for take-off.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 223. The yaw damper system controls:
the rudder, with the angular rate about the yaw axis as the Input signal.
A-INST2-PT02.A.pdf | 224. How does the yaw damper detect dutch roll?
Using a gyro and Inputs from the IRS, depending on the aircraft type.
