The control converter provides an ADF valid signal and an ADF bearing signal to which unit?

• A. CSC
• B. A-395
• C. MC 1
• D. The Direction Finder Set

Answer: (C)

ADF data must be fed to the navigation processor so it can be used in computing the aircraft’s bearing and position. The control converter formats the ADF readings into a bearing value and a validity flag, then passes them to MC 1. MC 1 relies on this bearing information, along with the validity signal, to update the navigation solution and decide whether the ADF data can be trusted in calculations. The Direction Finder Set is typically the display/indicator unit for pilots, while the other listed units serve different roles, so they aren’t the intended recipients for this data path.
