Chapter 10 Flashcards
Where can locations for VOR test facilities be found?
Chart Supplement
What should the airborne accuracy of a VOR be?
+/- 6
When the course deviation indicator (CDI) needle is centered using a VOR test signal (VOT), the omnibearing selector (OBS) and the TO/FROM indicator should read
0° FROM or 180° TO, regardless of the pilot’s position from the VOT.
What is the approximate position of the aircraft if the VOR receivers indicate the 340° radial of Savannah VORTAC (area 3) and the 184° radial of Allendale VOR (area 1)?
Town of Springfield
What is your approximate position on low altitude airway Victor 1, southwest of Norfolk (area 1), if the VOR receiver indicates you are on the 340° radial of Elizabeth City VOR (area 3)?
18 nautical miles from Norfolk VORTAC.
The VOR is tuned to Elizabeth City VOR/DME (area 3 in Figure 20), and the aircraft is positioned over Shawboro, a small town 3 NM west of Currituck County Regional (ONX). Which VOR indication is correct?
5
(refer to illustration 5) The VOR receiver has the indications shown. What radial is the aircraft crossing?
030
(Refer to illustration 8.) The VOR receiver has the indications shown. What is the aircraft’s position relative to the station?
south
The VOR is tuned to Bonham VORTAC (area 3 in Figure 24) and the aircraft is positioned over the town of Sulphur Springs (area 5 in Figure 24). Which VOR indication is correct?
7
What is the approximate position of the aircraft if the VOR receivers indicate the 245° radial of Sulphur Springs VOR-DME (area 5) and the 140° radial of Bonham VORTAC (area 3)?
Glenmar airport
(Refer to illustration 3.) The VOR receiver has the indications shown. What is the aircraft’s position relative to the station?
SOutheast
The VOR is tuned to Jamestown VOR (area 4 in Figure 26), and the aircraft is positioned over Cooperstown Airport (area 2 in Figure 26.). Which VOR indication is correct?
4
(Refer to area 5.) The VOR is tuned to the Dallas/Fort Worth VOR. The omnibearing selector (OBS) is set on 253°, with a TO indication, and a right course deviation indicator (CDI) deflection. What is the aircraft’s position from the VOR?
East-northeast
When navigating using only VOR/DME based RNAV, selection of a VOR NAVAID that does not have DME service will
result in loss of RNAV capability.
how many Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites are required to yield a three-dimensional position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) and time solution?
4
If Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) capability is lost in-flight,
the pilot has no assurance of the accuracy of the GPS position.
Which of the following is a true statement concerning the Global Positioning System?
Navigating by GPS must be integrated with other forms of navigation.
What is a consideration when using a hand-held GPS for VFR navigation?
Position accuracy may degrade without notification.
What procedure could a pilot use to navigate under VFR from one point to another when ground references are not visible?
Dead reckoning.
