Chapter 9, ADF Flashcards
ADF antennas are used to determine what aspect of the transmitted signal?
Null signal strength
The ADF antennas include
One sense loop and two directional loops
ADF operates in the following frequency range
LF to MF
Bearing to the tuned ADF station is displayed on the
RMI
The purpose of an ADF sense antenna is to
Combine with the loop antenna to determine a station bearing
The RMI has two pointers coloured red and
green; these are used to indicate
Two separately tuned ADF stations
The bearing source indicator adjacent to the
RMI confirms
ADF or VOR selection
NDBs on navigation charts can be identified
by
Two/three letter codes
Morse code is used to confirm the NDB’s
Name
During sunrise and sunset, ADF transmissions
are affected by
Variations in the ionosphere
NDBs associated with the final approach to an
airfield are called
Locator beacons
Quadrantal error (QE) is associated with
the
Physical aspects of the aircraft structure
ADF ground waves are affected by
Coastal refraction and terrain
ADF sky waves are affected by
The ionosphere
A BFO can be used to establish
An audio tone for an NDB
