Q

What is the aim of SBAS?

A

To correct positional error by comparison with known satellite position

23
Q

What is the purpose of RAIM?

A

To tell you that a satellite has failed

24
Q

How many technical freedoms are there and what are they?

A

2
First freedom: overfly state B without landing
Second freedom: land in state B for technical reasons

25
Q

What are the minimum requirements for flying in RVSM airspace?

A

1) 2 independent altitude measuring systems

2) An altitude alert system + one auto altitude control system

26
Q

What altitudes are RVSM airspace?

A

FL290 - FL410

27
Q

What is vertical separation in RVSM?

A

1000ft

28
Q

What is the most critical factor in designing instrument procedures?

A

Obstacle clearance

29
Q

In what conditions may a preferential runway not be used purely for noise abatement?

A

Vis less than 1km, x-wind greater than 15kts, Tail wind great than 5kts, runway contaminated, cloud base less than 500ft, wind shear or thunderstorms

30
Q

How wide is a preferential route?

A

1.5km eitherside

31
Q

What is the difference in purpose of an NADP1 & NADP2?

A

NAPD1 : used to alleviate noise close to the aerodrome

NAPD2 : used to alleviate noise more distant from aerodrome

32
Q

What is a low level wind shear alert system?

A

Ground based system
6-36 anemometers located around aerodrome
Enhanced with Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR)
Warnings issued by ATC

33
Q

Where are you at risk of a bird strike?

A

Everywhere

34
Q

What solutions are used to minimise the risk of bird strike

A

Not watchman radar

35
Q

What should your actions be in the vicinity of a thunderstorm?

A

1) Request to steer around the thunderstorm

2) Consider Nav aids selection for accuracy

36
Q

What are dangerous goods?

A

Substances/material that poses a hazard to the aircraft

Except medical aid, operating reasons, catering and cabin service supplies, veterinary aid

37
Q

How often should you receive DG training?

Dangerous goods?

A

Bi-annually

38
Q

For aerodrome response times, when was the first vehicle in position, with foam at 50% discharge rate?

A

2minutes

39
Q

If forced to ditch in single swell, 15kts wind, how would you choose the landing direction?

A

Parallel to swell

40
Q

What page is the turbulence table?

A

P111

41
Q

Define Accidents

A

Fatal or serious injury
Aircraft structural failure
Aircraft missing

42
Q

Define Incidents

A

An occurrence other than an accident which affects the safety of operation

43
Q

Define Serious Incident

A

CFIT

44
Q

How soon after DG incident should it be reported?

A

72hours

45
Q

Strong wind speeds, 50kts which direction should a large multi engine land?

A

45% into wind

46
Q

Define land as soon as practical

A

Landing site and duration are at the discretion of the pilot. Not recommended to fly further than required.

47
Q

Define land as soon as possible

A

Land without delay at a site which a safe landing is assured.

48
Q

Define land immediately

A

Emergency landing minimising risk to crew.

49
Q

If caught in wind shear what are the actions?

A

Do not maintain lower than normal approach speed, and do not continue approach.
DO set power early.

50
Q

What makes up total system error?

A

Path definition error +
Flight technical error +
Navigation system error

51
