3. What does the vertical Flight Director bar on an ADI indicate on ‘LOC HOLD ‘ mode?
A) instantaneous deviation of aircraft from localiser beam
B) how much bank to apply to recapture localiser *
C) aircraft position in relation to localiser centre
4. When you select 360 heading on the mode control panel and you are at 270 the FD bar is displaced as shown….what does this bar on the ADI indicate?
A) The angle of bank to be applied to achieve the selected heading at an optimum angle. ( don’t remember if it was angle or rate)*
B) A standard 30 degree bank to fly to reach the selected heading
C) A bank angle of 30 degrees or more to fly to when bar is centralised
D)
5. diagram on an ADI … the FD vertical bar is to the left with horiz. Bar below aircraft symbol.
What are the bars commanding you to do?
A) fly left and down
B) etc etc
