Given SHA VOR/DME (N5243.3 W00853.1), radial 025°, distance 49 NM and magnetic variation 8°W, what is the aircraft position? 4 Answers Given CRN VOR (N5318.1 W00856.5) DME 18 NM and SHA VOR (N5243.3 W00853.1) DME 30 NM, with aircraft heading 270°M and both DME distances decreasing, what is the aircraft position? 4 Answers Using WGS84 coordinates, CRK VOR/DME is at 51°50.4'N, 008°29.7'W and Kerry aerodrome at 52°10.9'N, 009°31.4'W. For this exercise, assume VOR station alignment with 7°W declination and negligible height difference. What are the approximate CRK radial and DME distance overhead Kerry, rounded to the nearest degree and nautical mile? 4 Answers In a conventional transport-aircraft FMS, which crew interface is used to enter route and performance data? 4 Answers For radio-only position fixing with adequate station geometry and valid signals, which method normally provides greater accuracy than a VOR/DME fix? 4 Answers In the Smiths FMCS configuration for the Boeing 737 described in TDM 2024 (FMC Update 10.0–10.4), which is the usual sequence of the first three CDU preflight pages? 4 Answers Some inertial reference and navigation systems are known as strapdown.
