Air Navigation Flashcards
How sensitive is the Localizer near the outer marker and middle marker?
Near the Outer Marker, a one-dot deviation puts you about 500 ft. from the centerline. Near the Middle Marker, one dot means you’re off course by 150 ft.
Speed Limits Below 10,000': Class B: Beneath Class B: Procedure Turn: Class C or D (below 2,500 AGL within 4NM of the airport): Class E or G Airport Traffic Pattern:
Below 10,000’: 250 KIAS
Class B: 250 KIAS below 10,000’
Beneath Class B: 200 KIAS (or in a VFR corridor through a Class B)
Procedure Turn: 200 KIAS
Class C or D: 200 (unless a higher is approved by ATC)
Class E or G Airport Traffic Pattern: 200 KIAS recommended

When must you advise ATC of speed adjustments?
10 KIAS or 5% TAS
If used under IFR, the aircraft must have what inspections?
1) A maintenance inspection appropriate to the type of operation.
2) Static system and altimeter tests within the last 24 months.
3) Transponder test within the last 24 months.
4) VOR accuracy checks, within the last 30 days, shall be entered in the aircraft log or other record.
5) IFR or VFR, the emergency locator transmitter battery must be within certain time parameters.
If used under IFR, the aircraft must have what documents?
ARROWE Airworthiness certificate. Registration certificate. Radio station license (International flight only). Operating limitations. Weight and balance data. Equipment list.
At each compulsory reporting point when not in radar contact, or at any point requested by ATC, provide the controller the following (6):
(PTA PET)
Position.
Time.
Altitude (state actual altitude when VFR-on-top).
Pertinent remarks.
ETA and name of next reporting point.
The name of the succeeding reporting point.
The following reports must be made at all times (10):
Vacating an assigned altitude for a newly-assigned one.
Any altitude change when operating on a VFR-on-top clearance.
Unable to climb or descend at least 500 feet per minute.
A missed approach.
Change in true airspeed of five percent or ten knots, whichever is greater, from that filed in the flight plan.
Time and altitude reaching a holding fix or clearance limit.
Leaving an assigned holding fix.
Any loss of navigation or communication capability.
Any hazardous weather encountered during flight.
Any information relating to the safety of flight.
When not in radar contact, make these additional reports:
Leaving the final approach fix inbound on an instrument approach.
A corrected ETA if it becomes apparent a previous ETA is in error by more than three minutes.
Which direction are turns made in a holding pattern?
To the right. If the turns are non-standard (to the left), it is specified.
What does RAIM stand for and what is it doing?
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring.
The GPS receiver verifies the integrity (usability) of the signals received from the GPS constellation through receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) to determine if a satellite is providing corrupted information.
How many GPS satellites are there and how many can you see at any time? What is the minimum that are needed?
The GPS constellation of 24 satellites is designed so that a minimum of five are always observable by a user anywhere on earth. The receiver uses data from a minimum of four satellites above the mask angle (the lowest angle above the horizon at which it can use a satellite).
