Question 1

Which statement about compass deviation is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

It is the error caused by magnetic influences in the aircraft

Answer

It is forecast wind

Answer

It is runway slope

Answer

It is pressure altitude

Question 2

An aircraft is flying at a pressure altitude of 7000 feet with an outside air temperature (OAT) of +21°C. The QNH altitude is 6500 ft. The true altitude equals...

Accepted Answer

7000 ft.

Answer

6750 ft.

Answer

6250 ft.

Answer

6500 ft.

Question 3

When transmitter and receiver are moving towards each other...

Accepted Answer

The perceived frequency increases

Answer

The frequency varies, but the wavelength remains constant

Answer

The perceived frequency equals the transmitted frequency

Answer

The perceived frequency decreases

Question 4

Radio waves within the LF and MF range (e.g. NDB) travel as...

Accepted Answer

Sky wave and as ground / surface wave.

Answer

Sky wave.

Answer

Ground / surface wave.

Answer

Space wave (quasi-optical).

Question 5

Magnetic heading is 219° and compass deviation is 6°E. What compass heading should be flown?

Accepted Answer

213°

Answer

219°

Answer

207°

Answer

223°

Question 6

Which direction corresponds to 'compass north' (CN)?

Accepted Answer

The direction to which the direct reading compass aligns due to earth's and aircraft's magnetic fields

Answer

The most northerly part of the magnetic compass in the aircraft, where the reading takes place

Answer

The direction from an arbitrary point on Earth to the geographical North Pole

Answer

The angle between the aircraft heading and magnetic north

Question 7

An agonic line joins points where magnetic variation is...

Accepted Answer

zero

Answer

90°

Answer

maximum

Answer

always west

Question 8

Dead reckoning navigation uses...

Accepted Answer

heading, time, speed and wind correction

Answer

only QNH

Answer

only radio calls

Answer

only runway length

Question 9

A pilot wants to approach an NDB on QDM 090°. The aircraft flies for about 5 minutes with a magnetic heading (MH) of 095° and an RBI indication of 355°. After 6 minutes the RBI indicates 358°. Which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

The crosswind component increased; the pilot has to increase the MH

Answer

The crosswind component increased; the pilot has to decrease the MH

Answer

The crosswind component decreased; the pilot has to increase the MH

Answer

The crosswind component decreased; the pilot has to decrease the MH

Question 10

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should QDM and QDR be understood?

Accepted Answer

QDM is magnetic bearing to a station and QDR is magnetic bearing from it

Answer

It is set by the transponder

Answer

It replaces fuel planning

Answer

It is a maintenance inspection interval
