The Mission computer system uses the ADF information to what?

• A. Calculate fuel consumption from ADF data
• B. Provide terrain avoidance guidance
• C. Synchronize navigation with the master clock
• D. Position the ADF bearing symbol on the display

Answer: (D)

ADF information gives the mission computer the direction to the selected radio beacon (NDB). The system uses that bearing to position the ADF bearing symbol on the cockpit display, so you can see which way to fly toward or away from the station. ADF data isn’t used to calculate fuel, isn’t the basis for terrain avoidance guidance, and isn’t a time reference for syncing navigation with the master clock. The symbol on the display is all about showing the relative direction to the beacon.
