Practise General Navigation

An aircraft is on final approach to runway 32R (322°); The wind velocity reported by the tower is 350°/20 kt.; TAS on approach is 95 kt. In order to maintain the centre line, the aircraft's heading (°M) should be: 4 Answers An ILS outer marker is 4.6 NM before the runway threshold. For a straight 3° glide path with a threshold crossing height of 50 ft, what is the aircraft height above threshold elevation at the marker, rounded to the nearest foot? 4 Answers Given: AD = Air distance GD = Ground distance TAS = True Airspeed GS = Groundspeed. Which of the following is the correct formula to calculate ground distance (GD) gone? 4 Answers During a low level flight 2 parallel roads that are crossed at right angles by an aircraft. The time between these roads can be used to check the aircraft: 4 Answers An island appears 60° to the left of the centre line on an airborne weather radar display. What is the true bearing of the aircraft from the island if at the time of observation the aircraft was on a magnetic heading (MH) of 276° with the magnetic variation (VAR) 10°E? 4 Answers An aircraft at FL370 is required to commence descent at 120 NM from a VOR and to cross the facility at FL130. If the mean GS for the descent is 288 KT, the minimum rate of descent required is: 4 Answers An aircraft is 2500 ft above runway threshold elevation. For a straight 3° ILS glide path with a threshold crossing height of 50 ft, at what distance before the threshold does this height intersect the path, rounded to the nearest tenth of a nautical mile? 4 Answers The distance between positions A and B is 180 NM. An aircraft departs position A and after having travelled 60 NM, its position is pinpointed 4 NM left of the intended track. Assuming no change in wind velocity, what alteration of heading must be made in order to arrive at position B? 4 Answers Calculate the constant of the cone on a Lambert Chart given convergency between 010°E and 030°W as being 30°: 4 Answers On a lambert conformal chart the distance between two parallels of latitude having a difference of 2°, is measured to be 112mm. The distance between two meridians, spaced 2° longitude, is accordance to the chart 70 NM. What is the scale of the chart, in the middle of the square described? 4 Answers
