It is possible Under Specific Circumstances
(i.e. Charter flights)
It must be Done with the Approval of the Dir. of Operations.
330- What happen if ATC Inform the Aircraft that it is Not flying within the Standard of Navigational Accuracy?
(8.3.1.2)
The Commander shall Report it by Filing an ASR.
331- What are the Standard Procedures regarding the Use on NAV Aids in Flight?
(8.3.1.2)
- For DEP & ARR Procedures the NAV Aids
* Shall be Displayed and Identified by Both Pilots
* Can be Auto-Tuned.
332- What are the Navigation Database Available on FMGS for A320/321.
Where to Find their Reference?
(8.3.1.2)
KA 1 -> Legacy FMS
KA 2 -> FMS Release 1A
They can be Identified via “A/C Status Page” (LSK 2R).
333- According to KA Standard,
What the Suffix “8” means on a Company Route?
i. e. HKGXMN8
(8. 3.1.2)
Suffix ‘8’ is Normally used for Company Alternate Routes.
334- If a Pilot Store a Waypoint in the Database Will it be Automatically Deleted at the End of the Flight?
(8.3.1.2)
NO, it will Stay in the Database Until:
- The Navigation Database is Updated
- The Waypoint is Manually Deleted.
335- What will be the Default Approach in the KA1 Database (due to programming constraints) if More than One is available?
i. e. ILS X,Y,Z
(8. 3.1.2)
The Only Approach will be ILS “Z” by Default
* Only One per Type is Inserted for KA1.
336- If a Discrepancy Exists Between Chart and Navigation Database, Which is Definitive?
How should it be Reported?
(8.3.1.2)
- The Charts are Always Definitive version
* Unless Amended by Notams.
- It shall be reported in the CAR with attention to:
* Line Operations.
337- What North Reference is Used by the RNAV System?
(8.3.1.2)
- The RNAV is based on True North
- It displays Magnetic Course Only for Pilot Reference.
338- What is the Maximum Allowed Difference between the Course of RNAV Display and the SID/STAR Charts Course?
(8.3.1.2)
The Maximum Difference shall Not Exceed “3°”.
339- What is the Standard Reference for All Charts in Aviation?
(8.3.1.2)
Geodetic Reference Datums: WGS-84
340- What is the Future Concept of Navigation?
(8.3.1.2)
It’s Area Navigation (RNAV)
+ Required Navigation Performance (RNP)
+ Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
341- What is the Definition of RNAV?
(8.3.1.2)
- It’s a “Method of Navigation” Allowing Operation on
“Any Flight Path” with support of:
* Ground Based Navigation or GNSS or Both.
- It does Not require to be Monitored
342- How is RNAV Accuracy Defined?
(8.3.1.2)
RNAV - “Accuracy Factor”
i.e. RNAV-3 = 3 NM Accuracy
343- What is the Definition of PBN in Navigation?
(8.3.1.2)
- PBN = Performance Based Navigation
- It combines 3 Interrelated Elements:
* Nav Application
= Nav Specifications
+ Navaid Infrastructure
344- What is the Definition of RNP?
(8.3.1.2)
- RNP = Required Navigation Performance
- It Allows an Aircraft to Proceed on Specific Procedures
* Such as Complex Arrivals/Departures
- It Requires to be Monitored
- It Will Alert the Crew if it’s Not Compliant.
345- How is the RNP Accuracy Defined?
(8.3.1.2)
RNP-“Accuracy Factor” (i.e. RNP-0.3) means:
- 0.3 NM of Accuracy
* It Must be Accurate at least 95% of the time
with All Aircrafts Within the Airspace.
346- What is the Difference Between:
RNP and RNAV?
(8.3.1.2)
RNP is an RNAV with an On-board Navigation Monitoring
and Alerting System.
347- Where to find the Diverse Specifications / Requirements for RNAV/RNP?
(8.3.1.2)
Chapter 8
Flight Procedures
(Navigation) 8.3.1.2
348- Is DragonAir Approved for:
RNAV(RNP),
RNAV(GNSS),
RNAV(GPS) & GPS Approaches?
(8.3.1.2) & (8.3.6.1)
- RNP, GNSS, GPS Approaches = YES (S1 S2 on FPL)
- RNP AR (Authorisation Required) = Not Yet (T1 T2 on FPL)
Flight Procedures
(Approach)
(Instrument Approach Procedures) 8.3.6.1.
349- Can a RNAV be Substitutes to a Navaid in All Cases?
(8.3.1.2)
- YES / NO …
* RNAV can be Substitutes to a NAV Aids
(VOR, NDB, DME …) if those are Out of Service
* Except for the Navaids providing Lateral Guidance
on the Final Approach Segment.
350- What Precautions should be Taken When Using RNAV for an ILS?
(8.3.1.2)
- If the ILS Info is Entered in the PROG Page it will
Provide the Distance to the ILS Localizer Antenna…
* Which might be Different from the Distance given
by the Original DME
(Localizer Antenna being located at the End of the
RWY)
- It will be Better to Enter the Runway Threshold in
the PROG Page.
