Question 4

What should a private pilot remember about GNSS?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

It is unrelated to wind

Answer

It guarantees terrain clearance

Answer

It changes aircraft mass

Question 5

Quasi-optical waves travel...

Accepted Answer

Through the air directly from the transmitter to the receiver.

Answer

Along the surface of the earth.

Answer

Through the air and are influenced (e.g. reflected) by the ionosphere.

Answer

Along the surface of the earth, but are absorbed by the sea.
