8. Visual Navigation Procedures Flashcards
When map reading under normal conditions in flight, the recommended technique is to read from the chart to the ground. When should this technique be reversed.
during unsure of position (lost procedure)
While allowing for 10 degrees right (starboard) drift and holding a steady heading, the aircraft deviates from the required track to the right. One possibility is that the wind from your (left / right) is (stronger / weaker) than forecast.
left; stronger
What does the mnemonic ‘SCADIE’ stand for?
Suction CO Amps DI Icing Engine
When you mark a DR position on your chart you should identify that with a (triangle with a dot in the centre / circle with a dot in the centre)
triangle with a dot in the centre
Name three occasions in flight when when a safety check should be carried out.
shortly after departure;
at check/turning points each 10 to 15 minutes
When flying over a large featureless area, one of the most important aspects is to fly a steady (altitude / heading) with reference to the (altimeter / synchronised DI)
heading; synchronised DI
List two important actions you should take after you have logged your set heading time.
calculate ETAs;
transmit departure report
Calculate the climb time (to the nearest whole minute) if you wish to climb from take-off at an aerodrome of elevation 1,500 ft to 7,500 ft at a rate of climb of 650 ft/min
nine minutes
Calculate the rate of climb (to the nearest 10 ft/min) if you wish to climb from 1,200 ft AMSL to an altitude of 8,500 ft and complete the climb in 12 minutes.
610 ft/min
Use mental calculations only. You have travelled 45 nm in 18 mins. What is your groundspeed.
150 kt
Use mental calculations only. Your groundspeed is 100 kt. How much time will it take to travel 20 nm.
12 minutes
What happens to the TOD position relative to the bottom of descent if, instead of descending at a low power setting, you descend at a higher power setting while maintaining a given airspeed.
TOD is further away from the bottom of descent
