Q1. The purpose of the altitude alert system is to generate a visual and aural warning to the pilot when the:
airplane altitude differs from a selected altitude.
Q2. 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 the correct statements is:
1, 3
Q3. Alarms are standardised and follow a code of colours. Those requiring action but not immediately, are signalled by the colour:
amber
Q4. Cockpit voice recorders shall record the following:
All speech and sound in cockpit, signals from radionavigation aids and radio communication.
Q5. 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 hi [deviation from selected altitude].
