Start Studying 1 Q

On an HSI, what does the tail of the bearing indicator show ?

A

the radial the aircraft is currently on.

When navigating using only VOR/DME based RNAV, selection of a VOR NAVAID that does not have DME service will

A

result in loss of RNAV capability.

When checking the course sensitivity of a VOR receiver, how many degrees should the OBS be rotated to move the CDI from the center to the last dot on either side?

A

10° to 12°.

For IFR operations off established airways, ROUTE OF FLIGHT portion of an IFR flight plan should list VOR navigational aids which are no more than

A

80 miles apart.

An aircraft 60 miles from a VOR station has a CDI indication of one-fifth deflection, this represents a course centerline deviation of approximately

A

2 miles. Assuming a receiver with normal course sensitivity and full-scale deflection at 5 dots, aircraft displacement from course is approximately 200 ft. per dot per NM. Because one-fifth deflection equals 1 dot, the aircraft is 12,000 ft. or 2 NM off course (200 ft./NM × 60 NM = 12,000 ft.).

Which situation would result in reverse sensing of a VOR receiver?

A

By flying a heading that is a reciprocal of the course set in the OBS, you will have two situations: You will be flying to the station with a FROM indication, or you will fly from the station with a TO indication. Either will result in reverse sensing.

When using VOT to make a VOR receiver check, the CDI should be centered and the OBS should indicate that the aircraft is on which radial ?

A

360 Radial

How well did you know this? 1 Not at all 2 3 4 5 Perfectly 8 Q

How should the pilot make a VOR receiver check when the aircraft is located on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface?

A

Set the OBS on the designated radial. The CDI must center within plus or minus 4° of that radial with a FROM indication.

Effective navigation by means of GPS includes

A

determining the current status of all databases.

How well did you know this? 1 Not at all 2 3 4 5 Perfectly 10 Q

What is a consideration when using a hand-held GPS for VFR navigation?

A

Position accuracy may degrade without notification.

To track inbound on the 215 radial of a VOR station, the recommended procedure is to set the OBS to

A

035° and make heading corrections toward the CDI needle.

To track outbound on the 180 radial of a VOR station, the recommended procedure is to set the OBS to

A

180° and make heading corrections toward the CDI needle.

How well did you know this? 1 Not at all 2 3 4 5 Perfectly 13 Q

How should the pilot make a VOR receiver check when the aircraft is located on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface?

A

Set the OBS on the designated radial. The CDI must center within plus or minus 4° of that radial with a FROM indication.

How well did you know this? 1 Not at all 2 3 4 5 Perfectly 14 Q

How many feet are the VOR dot deflections ?

A

200 Feet per dot

How well did you know this? 1 Not at all 2 3 4 5 Perfectly 15 Q

How many mile is each VOR DOT deflections ?

A

2 miles per dot. (5 dots = 200 ft x 5 = 12000 ft)

How well did you know this? 1 Not at all 2 3 4 5 Perfectly 16 Q

When the CDI needle is centered during an airborne VOR check, the omnibearing selector and the TO/FROM indicator should read ?

Study These Flashcards A

within 6° of the selected radial.

17 Q

Why does the FAA maintain a VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON)?

Study These Flashcards A

To support navigation of non-DME/DME equipped RNAV aircraft in the event of GPS outage.

18 Q

Which situation would result in reverse sensing of a VOR receiver?

Study These Flashcards A

By flying a heading that is a reciprocal of the course set in the OBS, you will have two situations: You will be flying to the station with a FROM indication, or you will fly from the station with a TO indication. Either will result in reverse sensing.

19 Q

When navigating using only VOR/DME based RNAV, selection of a VOR NAVAID that does not have DME service will

Study These Flashcards A

result in loss of RNAV capability. VOR/DME-based RNAV units need both VOR and DME signals to operate. If the NAVAID selected is a VOR without DME, RNAV mode will not function.

20 Q

How to quickly determine what radial the aircraft is on ?

Study These Flashcards A

use bearing pointer. The tail of the bearing pointer indicates which radial the aircraft is currently on.
