Hi guys,
a few questions came up today that have not seen before and thought to share them with you and if you could shine some light.

1.Fuel float gage is affected by?
attitude,acceleration,pressure.

I know the first two affect it but I thought the third will also as reducing the pressure will expand the fluid and the float measures volume.
Could not find anything in my books.
Opinions?

2.Gymbal errors on gyros is caused by?
I would expect that the answer would be excessive banking but the answers given were:
a. Apparent weight and acceleration
b. Slow prece. on the horizontal axis
Cant remember the other two but went for b.

3.TCAS II mearuses:
a. Mode C height
b. Altidute from the transponder.
c.Ground station data.
d..........

Went for b but found the wording a bit strange as some questions in the bank talk about height and others about altidute.

4.Autopilot inputs:
ADC,INS,Mode control panel,ILS
You had to choose and htought that ADC has no input as it feeds the INS which then feed the AP so I went for :INS,MCP,ILS.

As I said , have not seen them before.
Hope you could help a bit.
