Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight (MTADS) Practice Exam

Which of the following is active five seconds after pressing the AZ/EL button?

The AZ and EL switches become active The RFI cursor becomes unlocked The TADS performs a self-check The display dims

Correct Answer:

The RFI cursor becomes unlocked

Explanation:

When you press the AZ/EL control, the system begins a transition into azimuth/elevation mode and allowed stabilization sequence. About five seconds later, the RFI cursor becomes unlocked, which is when you can freely move the targeting cursor to designate a point. This delay is intentional to let the gyros and sensors settle so cursor positioning is reliable for target designation. The other options don’t match what happens in that specific transition: the AZ/EL switches don’t suddenly become active five seconds later, a self-check is something that occurs during power-up or system checks rather than after pressing AZ/EL, and the display dimming isn’t tied to this AZ/EL transition.
