Navigation - EASA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane)

Question 1

Given: True course: 165°. TAS: 90 kt. Wind: 130°/20 kt. Distance: 153 NM. The true heading equals...

Accepted Answer

158°.

Answer

126°.

Answer

152°.

Answer

172°.

Question 2

For a VFR private pilot, what should be remembered about chart scale?

Accepted Answer

It allows distances measured on the chart to be converted to ground distance

Answer

It converts magnetic variation into compass deviation

Answer

It gives the same ground distance per centimetre for every chart scale

Answer

It states a time-to-distance ratio regardless of speed

Question 3

Approximately how many metres are 1000 ft?

Accepted Answer

300 m.

Answer

30 km.

Answer

3000 m.

Answer

30 m.

Question 4

Given: True course from A to B: 352°. Ground distance: 100 NM. GS: 107 kt. Estimated time of departure (ETD): 0933 UTC. The estimated time of arrival (ETA) is...

Accepted Answer

1029 UTC.

Answer

1129 UTC.

Answer

1146 UTC.

Answer

1045 UTC.

Question 5

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should wind correction angle be understood?

Accepted Answer

It is applied to maintain the desired track over the ground

Answer

It corrects only the difference between true and magnetic north

Answer

It corrects only compass deviation

Answer

It eliminates the crosswind by changing the magnetic field

Question 6

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should true course and magnetic course be understood?

Accepted Answer

Magnetic variation is applied to convert between true and magnetic directions

Answer

Compass deviation is the same as wind drift

Answer

Magnetic variation converts indicated airspeed into groundspeed

Answer

Magnetic course is always equal to compass heading

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

north or south of the equator

Answer

east or west of Greenwich

Answer

from magnetic north

Answer

from the nearest VOR

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

They support fuel management, daylight planning and arrival coordination

Answer

They are unnecessary when actual groundspeed changes

Answer

They establish fuel endurance without checking fuel quantity or consumption

Answer

They are required only after landing

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

It is the angular difference between heading and track caused by wind

Answer

It is solely the difference between true and magnetic north

Answer

It is solely the difference between magnetic and compass north

Answer

It is always zero in a crosswind

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

They compare planned fuel remaining with actual progress

Answer

They remove the need for fuel reserves

Answer

They are useful only after landing

Answer

They replace the need to consider diversion options
