What are the RNP modes?

Enroute- Full scale deflection happens at 2NM
Terminal-Full scale deflection happens at 1NM (automatically happens 30NM from the airport
Approach- Full scale deflection happens at .3NM (automatically changes 2NM from the FAF)

When is instrument rating required?

-While flying in IMC
-Fly in Class A airspace
-Special VFR at night
-Allows you to fly passengers at night with commercial certificate/fly passengers more than 50+ NM during the day

What are the errors of instrument cross checking?

Fixation - Applying full concentration to one single instrument

Omission - Excluding one or more instruments from a scan

Emphasis - Unknowingly relying on an instrument you readily understand even if it’s not the most beneficial

What are the control instruments?

Attitude Indicator, Tachometer, Manifold Pressure

What are the Performance instruments?

Heading indicator, turn coordinator, airspeed, altimeter, VSI

What are the magnetic compass errors?

DVMONA

Deviation
Variation
Magnetic Dip
Oscillation
uNos
ANDS

What is a standard rate turn?

360 degrees = 2 minutes

3 degrees = 1 second

What does the airspeed indicator get it’s information from?

Pitot & static
Ram pressure - static pressure = dynamic pressure

What is a VOR?

Very High Frequency Omni Directional Range

How does a VOR work?

VOR sends a reference signal and a variable signal. VOR receiver in plane will take these 2 signals to determine your bearing to the VOR.

What are the types of VOR checks?

Airborne (+/- 6) Ground (+/- 4) Dual (+/- 4) VOT (+/- 4) TO 180 FROM 360

Who can do VOR sing-offs?

PPL or higher

How does DME measured?

DME receiver takes the time between signal sent from plane to ground then determines distance from DME

What is slant range error?

If you are over 1000 ft for every 1 NM, reading will come off wrong

Will DME every read 0?

No. Over station it will read 6000

What is the point of a course deviation indicator (CDI)?

Tells you how far off course you are

How many degrees is a dot on the CDI?

2 degrees

How many miles is a dot on the CDI?

200 ft per dot per 1 NM

What is full scale deflection on the CDI?

10 degrees

At what point are you established?

Half scale deflection or less

What does GPS provide with number of satellites in view?

3 Satellites = 2D Position 4 satellites = 3D position 5 satellites = RAIM 6 satellites = fault detection and elimination

What are the components of the ILS?

GLAM Glideslope Localizer ALS Marker Beacons

Dimensions of localizer?

35 degrees on each side of the runway up to 10 NM. 10 degrees on each side of centerline up to 18 NM.

What's the point of an ALS?

Transition from instrument to visual approach

What are marker beacon colors and distance?

Outer marker - Blue FAF Middle Marker - Amber Missed approach point Inner Marker - White Missed approach point for Cat 2 and 3 Back course - white

Speed limits for hold?

0-6000 200KIAS 6001 - 14000 230 KIAS 14000+ 265 KIAS

Lost comms?

Highest of MEA MEA Expected Assigned AVEF (down the list) Assigned Vectored Expected Filed

What are the radar environment reporting points?

Compulsory reporting point

ODPs

Textual or graphical

What are the departure procedures?

200 FPM 35 ft above threshold 400 ft before turn out
