ATPL Radio Navigation Questions in English

Practise Radio Navigation

Using the theoretical radio-horizon approximation D(NM) = 1.23 × (√h₁ + √h₂), with heights in feet above MSL, what is the range for an aircraft at FL80 in ISA (8,000 ft MSL) and a VDF antenna at 325 ft MSL? 4 Answers What airborne equipment, if any, is required to be fitted in order that a VDF let-down may be flown? 4 Answers If a failed RMI rose is stuck on 090° and the ADF pointer indicates 225°, the relative bearing to the station will be: 4 Answers An NDB is on a relative bearing of 316° from an aircraft. Given: Compass heading 270°. At aircraft deviation 2°W, Variation 30°E. At station Variation 28°E. Calculate the true bearing of the NDB from the aircraft 4 Answers In the conventional NDB inbound-track establishment criterion, also reflected in EASA approach training, the aircraft should be within which angle of the required bearing before further descent after the inbound turn? 4 Answers Two NDBs are 20 NM and 50 NM inland. In a simplified comparison, their respective ranges from an aircraft over water are 50 NM and 80 NM. If both received bearings have the same small non-zero angular error, the linear displacement of the plotted position line at the aircraft is: 4 Answers You are on a magnetic heading of 055° and your ADF indicates a relative bearing of 325°. The QDM is: 4 Answers An OBS is set to 048 with a TO flag showing. The VOR deviation bar is showing almost full right deflection. Approximately what radial are you on? 4 Answers According to the ICAO Annex 10, Volume I definition, what is the usual average radius of rated coverage of an LF/MF locator? 4 Answers On which displays can the pilot read the magnetic bearing from the aircraft to the NDB directly, without calculation? 4 Answers
