Q

What is the “Thunderstorm Effect”

A
  • Radio signals generated by thunderstorms affecting the net signal received by the ADF receiver.
  • This causes major interference with NDB signals

Q

What is coastal refraction in relation to the NDB?

A

When there is an abrupt change in the medium i.e ocean to ground the radio wave can bend

19
Q

What is the formula for 1-in-60 Radio Nav

A

a=60d/D

20
Q

What is the formula to calculate nm for a NULL procedure?

A

mins flown x GS / Degrees of change

21
Q

What is the formula to calculate mins to intercept NDB for a NULL procedure?

A

mins flown x GS / Degrees of change = Miles to NDB

THEN

Take adjust NM to GS to get mins

22
Q

TRUE/FALSE: The NDB is a signal that is transmitted in equal strengths in all directions?

A

TRUE

23
Q

What is the formula for a wave?

A
24
Q

A VHF frequency of 124MHz has a wavelength of what?

A

2.42m

25
Q

You Are flying from Hamilton Island to Cairns. What is the rated coverage for Townsville

A

170nm ( you are obviously flying over water from Hamilton island)

26
Q

If a right crosswind is present and a pilot maintains 000° on the ADF towards the NDB: what will occur to the aircraft in regards to flight path?

A

The aircraft will take longer as it will now fly a curved path to the NDB and arrive into the wind.

27
Q

Why do some NDBs have reduced coverage at night?

A

The radio waves are reflected by the ionosphere at night

28
Q

What is a positive fix defined as?

(hint AIP ENR 1.1)

A
  1. Passage over RADIO Nav
  2. The intersection of 2 or more not less than 45°
    - If using 2 NDBs must be within 30nm
29
Q

If using 2 NDBs to gain a positive fix what range must they both be in?

A

30nm

30
Q

When using Radio Nav equipment you must make an allowance of tracking errors of how many degrees?

(AIP ENR 1.1)

A

9°

31
Q

Which is faster?

Ground waves

Sky Waves

A

Ground waves

(sky waves bounce off the atmosphere and then must travel further at the same speed.
