Practise General Navigation

The following information is displayed on an Inertial Navigation System: GS 520 kt, True HDG 090°, Drift angle 5° right, TAS 480 kt. SAT (static air temperature) -51°C. The W/V being experienced is: 4 Answers Given: Compass Heading 090 Deviation 2W Variation 12E, TAS 160 KT Whilst maintaining a radial 070 from a VOR station, the aircraft flies a ground distance of 14 NM in 6 MIN. What is the W/V (T)? 4 Answers Given: TAS = 470 kt, True HDG = 317°, W/V = 045°(T)/45kt. Calculate the drift angle and GS? 4 Answers Given: TAS = 125 kt, True HDG = 355°, W/V = 320°(T)/30kt. Calculate the true track and GS? 4 Answers Given: TAS = 225 kt, HDG (°T) = 123°, W/V = 090/60kt. Calculate the Track (°T) and GS? 4 Answers Given: course required = 085° (T), Forecast W/V 030/100kt, TAS = 470 kt, Distance = 265 NM. Calculate the true HDG and flight time? 4 Answers For a landing on runway 23 (227° magnetic) surface W/V reported by the ATIS is 180/30kt. VAR is 13°E. Calculate the cross wind component? 4 Answers The runway direction is 083° magnetic and the surface wind is from 035° magnetic at 35 kt. What is the headwind component, rounded to the nearest whole knot? 4 Answers A useful method of a pilot resolving, during a visual flight, any uncertainty in the aircraft's position is to maintain visual contact with the ground and: 4 Answers An aircraft at FL330 is required to commence descent when 65 NM from a VOR and to cross the VOR at FL100. The mean GS during the descent is 330 kt. What is the minimum rate of descent required? 4 Answers
