Airstreams Gate 4 Practice Test

When is the cable twist device activated?

When the control system fails to initiate the cable untwist function. When wind speed exceeds a threshold. During scheduled maintenance. When yaw position is within acceptable limits.

Correct Answer:

When the control system fails to initiate the cable untwist function.

Explanation:

The situation tests a safety fallback mechanism: if the main control system fails to start the cable untwist action, the cable twist device kicks in to prevent the cable from twisting uncontrollably. This activation serves as a fail-safe, ensuring the system remains in a safe, controlled state even when the primary command isn’t executed. Wind speed thresholds and yaw positioning describe normal operating conditions or separate protective actions, not a fault that requires the twist device to engage. Maintenance is a manual activity, not an automatic fault-triggered response.
