ATPL General Navigation Questions in English

Practise General Navigation

Given: ETA to cross a meridian is 2100 UTC GS is 441 kt. TAS is 491 kt. At 2010 UTC, ATC requests a speed reduction to cross the meridian at 2105 UTC. The reduction to TAS will be approximately: 4 Answers The distance between two waypoints is 200 NM. To calculate compass heading, the pilot used 2°E magnetic variation instead of 2°W. Assuming that the forecast W/V applied, what will the off track distance be at the second waypoint? 4 Answers Given: Half way between two reporting points the navigation log gives the following information: TAS 360 kt, W/V 330°/80kt, Compass heading 237°, Deviation on this heading -5°, Variation 19°W. What is the average ground speed for this leg? 4 Answers Complete line 1 of the 'FLIGHT NAVIGATION LOG'; positions 'A' to 'B'. What is the HDG°(M) and ETA?' 4 Answers Complete line 2 (C to D) of the attached flight navigation log. Convert CAS to TAS using subsonic compressible-flow relations and ISA pressure at the flight level, with the stated OAT. What magnetic heading and ETA are obtained, rounding only the final results to the nearest degree and minute? 4 Answers Complete line 3 of the 'FLIGHT NAVIGATION LOG', positions 'E' to 'F'. What is the HDG°(M) and ETA? 4 Answers Given: True Track = 095° TAS = 160 kt. True Heading = 087° GS = 130 kts. Calculate W/V 4 Answers A straight line from A (75°N, 120°E) to B (75°N, 160°E) is drawn on a Polar Stereographic chart. When passing the meridian 155°E, the True Track is: 4 Answers Which definition describes best the notion "poles"? 4 Answers In order to fly from position A (10°00'N, 030°00'W) to position B (30°00'N, 050°00'W), maintaining a constant true course, it is necessary to fly: 4 Answers
