The GPS receiver 1 supplies the ADIRU1, and the GPS receiver 2 supplies the ADIRU2 and ADIRU3

The GPS receiver 1 supplies the ADIRU2 and the ADIRU3, and the GPS receiver 2 supplies the ADIRU1.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Attitude, track, heading, accelerations, ground speed, vertical speed and aircraft position.

Altitude, airspeed, Mach, temperature and overspeed warnings.

Attitude, flight path vector, track, heading, accelerations, angular rates, ground speed, vertical speed and aircraft position.

In case of RA 1 failure:

There is no more Height information on the PFD 1 but a red flag on both PFD.

There is no more RA information on the PFD 1, but a red flag.

RA 1 information is replaced by RA 2 information on PFD 1 automatically and GPWS is lost.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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.

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