Question 1

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

Answer

MH: 167°. MC: 161°.

Answer

MH: 163°. MC: 161°.

Question 3

Which statement about chart scale is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

Answer

It is a licence category

Question 4

Which navigation statement is correct? Latitude is measured...

Accepted Answer

north or south of the equator

Answer

It applies only to IFR flights

Answer

Answer

from the nearest VOR

Question 5

For a true course of 040°, TAS 180 kt and wind 350°/30 kt, which wind correction angle should be applied?

Accepted Answer

- 7°

Answer

+5°

Answer

+ 11°

Answer

- 9°

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

It is a valuable navigation aid but should be monitored and cross-checked

Answer

It removes the need for airspace awareness

Answer

It guarantees terrain clearance

Answer

It replaces legal weather minima

Question 7

When using GPS to track to the next waypoint, a deviation indication is shown by a vertical bar and dots to the left and right of the bar. Which statement describes the correct interpretation of the display?

Accepted Answer

The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as an absolute distance in NM; the scale for full deflection depends on the operating mode of the GPS.

Answer

The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as an angular distance in degrees; the scale for full deflection depends on the operating mode of the GPS.

Answer

The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as an angular distance in degrees; the scale for full deflection is ±10°.

Answer

The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as an absolute distance in NM; the scale for full deflection is ±10 NM.

Question 8

Which option correctly describes QDM and QDR?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

It guarantees terrain clearance

Answer

It improves radio readability only

Answer
