Q

What are the RNP modes?

A

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)

Q

What are the errors of instrument cross checking?

A

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

20
Q

What are the control instruments?

A

Attitude Indicator, Tachometer, Manifold Pressure

21
Q

What are the Performance instruments?

A

Heading indicator, turn coordinator, airspeed, altimeter, VSI

22
Q

What are the magnetic compass errors?

A

DVMONA

Deviation
Variation
Magnetic Dip
Oscillation
uNos
ANDS

23
Q

What is a standard rate turn?

A

360 degrees = 2 minutes

3 degrees = 1 second

24
Q

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

A

Pitot & static
Ram pressure - static pressure = dynamic pressure

25
Q

What is a VOR?

A

Very High Frequency Omni Directional Range

26
Q

How does a VOR work?

A

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.

27
Q

What are the types of VOR checks?

A

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

28
Q

Who can do VOR sing-offs?

A

PPL or higher

29
Q

How does DME measured?

A

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

30
Q

What is slant range error?

A

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

31
Q

Will DME every read 0?

A

No. Over station it will read 6000

32
Q

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

A

Tells you how far off course you are

33
Q

How many degrees is a dot on the CDI?

A

2 degrees

34
Q

How many miles is a dot on the CDI?

A

200 ft per dot per 1 NM

35
Q

What is full scale deflection on the CDI?

A

10 degrees

36
Q

At what point are you established?

A

Half scale deflection or less

37
Q

What does GPS provide with number of satellites in view?

A

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

38
Q

What are the components of the ILS?

A

GLAM

Glideslope
Localizer
ALS
Marker Beacons

39
Q

Dimensions of localizer?

A

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

40
Q

What’s the point of an ALS?

A

Transition from instrument to visual approach

41
Q

What are marker beacon colors and distance?

A

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

42
Q

Speed limits for hold?

A

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