Q

True north, also called as?

A

Geographic North

20
Q

It is where the meridians coincide in the north.

A

Geographic North

21
Q

It is the fixed point

A

North Pole

Geographic North Pole

True North

22
Q

It is a spot where the compass needle points.

A

Magnetic North

23
Q

It is constantly moving.

A

Magnetic North

24
Q

It displays the bearing information to the pilot which is determined by the relative phase of the 30 Hz reference and variable signals from the VOR.

A

VOR Indicator

25
Q

Type of VOR Indicators

A

Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)

Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)

Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)

Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI)

26
Q

This indicator is mostly found in light aircraft and is of electromechanical type.

A

Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)

27
Q

It is the combination of two cockpit instruments; the directional gyro and the VOR/ILS Indicator.

A

Horizontal situation indicator (HSI)

28
Q

It reduces the pilot workload by lessening the number of elements in the pilots instruments scan to the 6 basic flight instruments.

A

Horizontal situation indicator (HSI)

29
Q

An aircraft navigational instrument coupled with a gyro compass that indicates the direction of a selected NAVAID and indicates bearing.

A

Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI)

30
Q

It is used to select the desired course in case of manual VOR flying.

A

Omni Bearing Selector (OBS) Knob

31
Q

It indicates whether the aircraft is flying towards or away from the selected course.

A

“TO” and “FROM” Indicator

32
Q

They are displayed when an aircraft is flying Towards the station.

A

TO Indications

33
Q

They are displayed when flying away from the station.

A

FROM Indications

34
Q

It will show zero deviation when the aircraft is flying on the desired radial.

A

Deviation Pointer
