Question 1

Which navigation statement is correct? QDR is the magnetic bearing...

Accepted Answer

from the station

Answer

to the station

Answer

It changes aircraft mass

Answer

It is a maintenance inspection interval

Question 2

The VDF range depends on...

Accepted Answer

The aircraft's altitude.

Answer

The aircraft's speed.

Answer

The condition of the ionosphere.

Answer

The range of the ground / surface wave.

Question 3

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 4

Which practical rule applies to DME?

Accepted Answer

It indicates slant range distance from the station

Question 8

Which statement is correct with regard to the polar axis of the Earth?

Accepted Answer

The polar axis of the Earth crosses the geographic South Pole and the geographic North Pole and is perpendicular to the plane of the equator

Answer

The polar axis of the Earth crosses the geographic South Pole and the geographic North Pole and is at an angle of 23.5° to the plane of the equator

Answer

The polar axis of the Earth crosses the magnetic south pole and the magnetic north pole and is perpendicular to the plane of the equator

Answer

The polar axis of the Earth crosses the magnetic south pole and the magnetic north pole and is at an angle of 66.5° to the plane of the equator
