ATA 22 · Autopilot Flight Director System
How many flight control computers (FCCs) does the AFDS have?
- A.Four
- B.Two
- C.Three
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Three
Left, center and right FCCs each control one servo in each axis. Cruise uses one channel; approach and autoland use two or three.
ATA 22 · Thrust Management and Maintenance Monitor
Which computers report faults to the maintenance control and display panel (MCDP)?
- A.Three FCCs, two FMCs and the TMC
- B.Two EICAS computers and the WEU
- C.All ARINC 700 radios and the GPWS
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Three FCCs, two FMCs and the TMC
The MCDP collects their flight faults and runs ground tests. Faults in the ADF, comm radios, weather radar and GPWS are not reported.
ATA 22, 27 · Yaw Damper, Stabilizer Trim and Flight Control Electronics
What does the yaw damper system prevent?
- A.Adverse aileron yaw
- B.Dutch roll and gust sideslip
- C.Rudder flutter at high speed
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Dutch roll and gust sideslip
It uses yaw rate and lateral acceleration to command the rudder through two yaw damper servos in series with the other inputs.
ATA 23 · VHF, HF, SELCAL and ARINC 429
What frequency range does the VHF communication system cover?
- A.2.000–29.999 MHz
- B.108.000–117.950 MHz
- C.118.000–136.975 MHz
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 118.000–136.975 MHz
The transceivers support 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz channel spacing and give 25 W output.
ATA 23, 31 · Interphone, PA, Recorders and Clocks
Which unit mixes and amplifies the flight interphone audio?
- A.The audio accessory unit
- B.The PA amplifier
- C.The audio selector panel
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The audio accessory unit
The AAU also holds the cabin, service interphone and PA interface circuits. Its amplifier card has no line adjustments.
ATA 34 · Air Data and Standby Instruments
How many pitot probes does the airplane have?
- A.Three, including a standby probe
- B.Two, one on each side
- C.Four, two on each side
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Four, two on each side
The pitot probes are at station 210. They are electrically heated and interchangeable because of their mounting bracket.
Questions about this course
What does this course cover?
Auto flight, communications, recorders, navigation and the flight management system. It is written for the 757-200 avionics, in 11 chapters that follow the ATA order of the type course.
Why are the courses kept apart?
So you only practise what your own course covers. The Boeing 757 B1.1 type course and the Boeing 757-200 to -300 differences course have their own question banks.
Is it included in the subscription?
Yes. Every chapter has 5 free questions to try, and all 573 questions come with the same Part66Exams subscription as the Part 66 modules, at no extra cost.
Are these the questions from my course exam?
No. They are written in our own words for revision. Your type course and the aircraft maintenance manual stay the authority, as limits and procedures can differ between airframes and operators.
Can I practise in another language?
Yes. Every question can be read in English or 15 other languages, with a switch back to the original English.
