Two units disagree in heading by 4.5 degrees against a comparator threshold of 3 degrees. The system will

  • A.Select the lower value
  • B.Ignore the difference
  • C.Raise a comparator warning
  • D.Average the two headings

Answer: C

Correct answer: Raise a comparator warning

The disagreement of \( 4.5 \) degrees exceeds the \( 3 \) degree threshold, so the comparator flags it. That is the entire function of the monitor: it detects that the two units are inconsistent to a degree that cannot be attributed to normal spread.

With only two units the system cannot tell which is at fault, so it must not select one or average them - averaging would produce a heading that is wrong by half the discrepancy and, worse, would conceal the fault. Ignoring a difference beyond the threshold would defeat the monitor. Identifying the faulty unit requires a third.
