Question 15

VOR and VOR/DME station passage occurs:

Answer 15

When the TO-FROM indicator makes the first positive change to FROM

Question 16

Which statement is correct concerning station passage?

Answer 16

(Both A and B are correct)
With VOR and VOR/DME, station passage occurs when the TO-FROM indicator makes the first positive change to FROM
With TACAN, station passage is determined when the range indicator stops decreasing

Question 18

Required Navigational Performance Type (RNP Type) is a value stating the actual position of the aircraft for at least 95 percent of the total flying time from the intended position of that aircraft. This must remain within value is typically expressed in:

Answer 18

Nautical miles

Question 19

After setting the reported altimeter setting, the maximum error allowed when comparing the indicated altitude to the elevation of a known ground checkpoint is:

Answer 19

75 feet

Question 20

Cold weather altimeter corrections are designed to adjust published instrument approach procedure altitudes to ensure adequate obstacle clearance. This adjustment becomes important in temperatures lower than standard since:

Answer 20

The aircraft’s altitude is below the figure indicated by the altimeter

Question 21

MAJCOMS allowing aircraft to fly an instrument approach procedure using a lower category must publish procedures to ensure that aircraft do not exceed:

Answer 21

TERPS airspace for the IAP being flown to include circling and missed approach

Question 22

An aircraft can fly an IAP:

Answer 22

Only for its own category or higher unless authorized by MAJCOM directives

Question 23

Answer 23

.

Question 24

The NAVAIDS which appear in the name of an IAP:

Answer 24

Are those that provide the final approach guidance

Question 25

If an IAF is displayed on an IAP by name only (no defining NAVAID and radial/DME):

Answer 25

Refer to the appropriate Enrique and terminal charts for the area and for this information

Answer 26

.

Question 27

If you are required to fly a circling approach which does not have a published ceiling, you can determine the required ceiling using which of the following methods:

Answer 27

Add 100 feet to the HAA and then round up to the next one hundred foot value

Question 29

The maximum allowable CDI error when checking the the VOR or TACAN at a designated ground checkpoint is:

Answer 29

+/- 4 degrees

Question 30

When checking the TACAN at a designated ground checkpoint, the allowable error is:

Answer 30

(Both A and B) 1/2 mile or 3 percent of the distance to facility, whichever is greater +/- 4

Question 31

If the aircraft is equipped with dual VOR or dual TACAN receivers, the systems are considered reliable:

Answer 31

(Both A and B) If each checks within +/- 4 degrees of the designated ground checkpoint If they check within +/- 4 degrees of each other

Question 32

Which of the following statement concerning IFR departure procedures is/are correct?

Answer 32

(Both A and B are correct) USAF aircraft are authorized to use non-standard takeoff weather minimums to "see and avoid" only if specific MAJCOM instructions exist USAF aircraft are not authorized to create their own "see and avoid" weather minimums in lieu of meeting the required minimum climb gradients

Question 33

TERPS specialists are not allowed to publish climb gradients to heights of 200 feet or less. Which of the following statements is/are true regarding these low, close-in obstacles?

Answer 33

(Both A and B are true) TERPS specialists will publish a NOTE informing you of the height and obstacle location You must ensure you can clear these obstacles in climbout planning because there is no minimum climb gradient published for them

Question 34

While flying any type of IFR departure procedure, USAF aircraft are required to meet or exceed a climb gradient of at least

Answer 34

200 feet per NM unless a higher climb gradient is published

Question 35

Unless a higher gradient is published, USAF aircraft are required to meet or exceed ______ on all IFR departures.
