GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM (GPWS) – Air – DGCA Question Bank For Politics

#1. The GPWS the alert/warning information is provided by a radio altimeter with:

a downward transmitting beam whose dimensions are in the order of 60 and 30 in the fore/aft and the athwartship axes.

a downward transmitting beam whose dimensions are in the order of 30 and 60 in the fore/aft and the athwartship axes.

a forward transmitting beam

a downwards transmitting radio beam

#2. The GPWS would provide visual and audible warning to a pilot if the aircraft descended

to below 500' radio altitude with flaps not in the landing position and speed below Mach.28

to below 500' radio altitude with flaps not in the landing position and speed below Mach.35

to below 200' barometric altitude with flap not in the landing position and speed below Mach.28

to below 200' radio altitude with flap not in the landing position and speed below Mach.28.

#3. The Ground Proximity Warning mode 5 provides a visual and audible warning to the pilot if the aircraft:

descends below 500ft radio altitude with gear retracted.

is below 1000ft radio altitude and more than 1.3 dots below the ILS glidepath.

descend below 200ft radio altitude with flaps retracted

sinks more than approximately 10% of accumulated altitude.

#4. The GPWS uses inputs from:

the radio altimeter, the ILS receiver, the Air Data Computers and the landing gear position indicators.

the radio altimeter, the Air Data Computers, the landing gear position indicators and the flap position indicators.

the radio altimeter, the Air Data Computers, the Captain's ILS receiver, the landing gear position indicators and the flap position indicators.

the radio altimeter and the ILS receiver.

#5. The Ground Proximity Warning mode 4a provides a visual and audible warning ‘Too Low Gear' to the pilot if the aircraft descends below ____________ with landing gear retracted.

200 feet radio altitude with speed below M 0.28.

500 feet radio altitude with speed below M 0.35.

500 feet barometric altitude with speed below M 0.35.

200 feet radio altitude with speed below M 0.28.

#6. An aircraft ‘goes around' after descending to a radio alt of 190 feet. As power is applied a power unit is lost and some height is lost. The GPWS would provide an alert when the aircraft had lost about:

10 feet

20 feet

50 feet

100 feet

#7. GPWS Mode One gives warning of:

excessive descent rate.

height loss after take-off/missed approach.

unsafe terrain clearance when not in the landing configuration

excessive terrain closure rate.

#8. GPWS, Mode Three gives warning of:

excessive descent rate

height loss after take-off/missed approach.

unsafe terrain clearance when not in the landing configuration

excessive terrain closure rate.

#9. GPWS, mode two operates between:

50ft and 2450ft agl

50ft and 1800ft agl

50ft and 700ft agl

50ft and 500ft agl

#10. With reference to GPWS:

In all six modes the audible alerts and warnings are accompanied by the red flashing PULL-UP' light.

Mode 4A activates when the aircraft descends below 500ft radio altitude at a speed less than .35Mach with the landing gear retracted.

Mode 4A activates when the aircraft descends below 500ft barometric altitude at a speed less than .28Mach with the landing gear retracted.

Mode 6 re-arms when the aircraft leaves the hard alerting area.

#11. An aircraft ‘goes around' after descending to a radio altitude of 190ft. As power is applied a power unit fails and some height is lost. The GPWS would provide an alert when the aircraft had lost about:

10ft

20ft

50ft

100ft

#12. GPWS mode 3 will operate if altitude loss occurred before you have acquired:

700 ft barometric altitude gain.

500 ft terrain clearance.

200 ft barometric altitude gain.

700 ft terrain clearance.

#13. With reference to GPWS Mode 4. At or below what radio altimeter altitude is mode 4 activated if not in the landing configuration?

500 ft

700 ft

200 ft

790 ft

#14. Mode 4 gives warning of:

excessive descent rate.

height loss after take-off/missed approach.

unsafe terrain clearance when not in the landing configuration.

excessive terrain closure rate.
