The Air Data and Inertial Reference System (ADIRS) supplies temperature, anemometric, barometric and inertial parameters to the EFIS system (PFD and ND) and to other user systems (FMGEC, FADEC, PRIM, SEC, FWC, SFCC, ATC, GPWS, etc.).

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of ADR 2 failure:

All statements are correct.

AP 2 and FD 2 are lost.

Before any transfer, speed and altitude information are lost on PFD 2.

Correct! Wrong!

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.

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

The Flight Management Guidance Envelope Computers (FMGECs) have three functions:

Flight guidance, ECAM control and EIS control.

Correct! Wrong!

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.
