ATPL General Navigation Questions in English

Practise General Navigation

Given: TAS = 485 KT OAT = ISA +10°C FL 410. Calculate the Mach Number 4 Answers In a simplified navigation calculation, an aircraft is at FL200 with OAT 0°C. An altimeter set to the QNH of a sea-level aerodrome indicates 19,300 ft. Use ISA temperature −25°C at FL200 and the 4%-per-10°C rule, assuming the ISA temperature deviation is uniform throughout the layer. What true altitude results, rounded to the nearest 100 ft? 4 Answers An aircraft is flying at FL180 and the outside air temperature is -30°C. If the CAS is 150 kt, what is the TAS? 4 Answers A great circle intersects the equator on 030°W with a great circle direction of 035°(T). An aircraft tracking the great circle will reach the maximum Northern/Southern latitude in position 4 Answers A course of 120°(T) is drawn between 'X' (61°30'N) and 'Y' (58°30'N) on a Lambert Conformal conic chart with a scale of 1: 1 000 000 at 60°N. The chart distance between 'X' and 'Y' is: 4 Answers Given: VAR 8°W. What is the average track (°M) and distance between WTD NDB (N5211.3 W00705.0) and KER NDB (N5210.9 W00931.5)? 4 Answers Given: True course from A to B = 090°, TAS = 460 KT, W/V = 360/100 KT, Average variation = 10°E, Deviation = -2°. Calculate the compass heading and GS? 4 Answers Use a spherical Earth and a North polar stereographic chart with Greenwich-aligned grid north (the direction parallel to true north on the Greenwich meridian). From the geographic North pole, an aircraft travels 480 NM along the 110°E meridian, then maintains a grid track of 154° for 300 NM. Which listed position is the closest approximate result? 4 Answers An aircraft was over 'Q' at 1320 hours flying direct to 'R'. Given: Distance 'Q' to 'R' 3016 NM True airspeed 480 kt Mean wind component 'out' -90 kt Mean wind component 'back' +75 kt The ETA for reaching the Point of Equal Time (PET) between 'Q' and 'R' is: 4 Answers For a straight 3.5° ILS glide path and groundspeed 150 kt, what rate of descent is required, rounded to the nearest 10 ft/min? 4 Answers
