UCT T-1A SYSTEMS 3 & 4 TEST EXAM
2025 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How do you inhibit the "Glideslope, Glideslope" aural alert? - ANS Tune the NAV #1 radio
from the ILS frequency.
What are the normal switch positions for the ELT? - ANS ELT unit switch OFF and pedestal
switch ARMED/RESET.
True or false: The green ELT ON light on the pedestal should normally be illuminated during
flight. - ANS False.
Does TCAS relieve the pilot of the responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft? - ANS No,
while TCAS is a wonderful tool to build SA, the aircrew are still ultimately responsible for
avoiding collisions.
True or false: Ignoring or failing to follow a resolution advisory (RA) could lead to additional RAs
in which alert and visual annunciations may not agree. - ANS True.
True or false: You can consider information displayed on the radio altimeter to be accurate at
all times, unless a warning flag is in view in the instrument. - ANS False.
Which TCAS symbol is used to identify an intruder aircraft that has been identified as a TA? -
ANS Yellow circle.
What are the four TCAS symbols and what do arrows, +, and - mean? - ANS Cyan open
diamond = Traffic that is not a threat.
Cyan solid diamond = Traffic that may become a threat if something changes.

, Yellow circle = Traffic advisory, could become a conflict if current flight path is maintained.
Red square = Resolution Advisory, an immediate threat.
An arrow indicates if traffic is climbing (up) or descending (down) at a rapid rate.
Traffic above your altitude are indicated with a plus and traffic below your altitude is indicated
with a -.
Does the TCAS in the T-1A provide vertical guidance, horizontal guidance, or both in the event
of traffic? - ANS Vertical only.
The radio altimeter provides an indication of AGL height up to ___ ft. - ANS 2,500.
Will the GPWS alert you to landing with the gear retracted? - ANS Yes, passing 200 ft AGL at
approach speeds.
True or false: The standby altimeter is accurate at all altitudes and configurations and no
corrections need to be applied. - ANS False.
When are readings from the magnetic compass valid? - ANS Only in level, unaccelerated
flight.
Where does the standby airspeed indicator use inputs? - ANS From the copilot's pitot static
system.
What setting must the windshield heat be in to ensure accurate magnetic compass readings? -
ANS LOW.
What would cause the aural alert "don't sink, don't sink"? - ANS Excessive altitude loss after
takeoff.
What type of traffic generates a Preventative Resolution Advisory? - ANS A traffic conflict
that should be resolved if you do not change present flightpath.
