In ASE, the display of threats is controlled on the dedicated Threat Presentation page for the Targeting Sensor Display. This page houses the threat presentation controls and the TSD-THRT/SHOW function, which toggles how threats are shown on the TSD. It’s the central place to configure which ASE threats appear, how they’re symbolized, and how the information updates in real time, directly supporting situational awareness during flight. The other pages deal with threat planning or ASE settings on different displays, but not the live threat presentation on the TSD.

Finer detection means the sensor returns much more detailed information about the target. With a fine detection, you get higher resolution data that provides precise bearing (direction) and range (distance) to the threat. That level of accuracy lets you cue and track the target more effectively and engage it with confidence, unlike coarse detection which only gives a rough location. The other possibilities don’t fit because concealment isn’t determined by the detection mode, and higher resolution does not imply lower resolution. Also, while update timing matters, fine detection is about the quality of location data rather than having the longest update interval.

Emergency autorotation is the process a helicopter uses to land safely when engine power is lost. The rotor keeps turning because the upward flow of air through the rotor disk provides the energy needed to sustain lift during descent, so you can control a controlled, power-off landing. In a power-off landing scenario, crews perform autorotation; training covers how to manage rotor speed (Nr), choose the appropriate airspeed, and use cyclic control to set up the landing. Keeping the rotor at the right speed ensures there’s enough energy to flare and touch down softly, while the cyclic directs the glide path and attitude for a stable approach. Practicing these elements helps pilots convert that rotor energy into a controlled descent and a safe landing even without engine power.

Before takeoff, you want to confirm that the flight controls respond correctly and move freely. This means each input—cyclic, collective, and pedals in a helicopter—produces the expected rotor movement and aircraft response, with no binding, sticking, or abnormal resistance. Verifying control travel, symmetry, and feel ensures you can command the aircraft safely through takeoff, hover transitions, and initial climb. It also helps catch rigging or mechanical issues, excessive play, or hydraulic problems before they become hazards. Other preflight checks cover autopilot, gear, and weather or altitude, but the main purpose of the flight control check is to ensure you can reliably control the aircraft from the moment you lift off.
