The fast align sequence starts.

Correct! Wrong!

The ON BAT light also comes on for a few seconds at the beginning of a complete IRS alignment. The light does not come on in the case of a fast alignment.

When the NAV key is on and the flight crew presses one of these STBY NAV keys, the ACTIVE window displays the frequency/channel to which that receiver is tuned. The green monitor light on the selected key comes on, and the one on the previously selected STBY NAV or COM key goes out.

During a turnaround, you notice that there is a residual groundspeed on both NDS. How do you correct this?

As the engines have been shut down, it is necessary to carry out a full re-alignment of ADIRS 1 and 2 only.

There is no corrective action possible until the aircraft is completely shut down.

It is possible to carry out a rapid re-alignment by turning all three ADIRS off momentarily.

Correct! Wrong!

Each ADIRU is divided in two parts. The ADR (Air Data Reference) and the IR (Inertial Reference). The ADR part supplies:
