Hi.

I presume you are a student.

If I just tell you the answers you won't learn much.

I suggest you research the systems so you have an understanding of them and then come back with your answers for others to comment on and provide help on any points you are having trouble with.

Good luck with your studies.

Take note of Dixi188 and tell us what you have learnt. Anyone can give you the answers, few can teach you.

No,

it's always a) alternating to c)

That's one of the secrets to become a commercial pilot.

DON'T TELL ANYBODY!

Just a few pointers on answering multiple-choice tests that I have learned over the years -
- RTFQ! (Read The F***ing Question),
- Using what knowledge you have, eliminate the obvious incorrect answers,
- Of the remaining answers, there may be one that is correct only under certain circumstances and the other is correct 99% of the time. Go for the 99% answer.
- If you still have no idea, the answer is (C).
