Q

RNAV is defined as:

A

A method of navigation which permit aircraft operation on any desired flight path within the coverage of station-referenced nav aids or within the limits of the capability of self-contained aids, or a combination of these.

Q

Which airspace support only RNAV operations?

A

Continental en-route airspaces in Asia and the Middle East.

24
Q

*In case of “TOO LOW GEAR” or “TOO LOW FLAPS” caution?

A

The crew must initiate a GO AROUND!

25
Q

CFIT

How do we improve terrain awareness of pilots?

A

Along with technical reasons, HUMAN FACTORS also play a vital part of CFIT avoidance.

26
Q

In the TA/RA mode of TCAS, on what factor does the warning time or TAU value depend?

A

Altitude.

29
Q

*The concepts of RNAV and RNP are fundamentally similar. The key difference is:

A

RNP requires on-board performance monitoring and alerting while RNAV does not.

30
Q

True or False. An RNAV/RNP system with multiple sensors typically bases its calculations on the most accurate positioning sensor available.

A

True.

31
Q

*Where does an RNAV system obtain the data required to carry out its functions?

A

Most accurate sensor and Navigation Database.

32
Q

A key advantage of RNAV over traditional navigation:

A

RNAV allows the aircraft to fly the shortest route within a network of available waypoints.

33
Q

According to ICAO’s PBN Manual, which airspaces currently support RNAV/RNP 10 and RNP 4?

A

Oceanic and Remote Continental airspaces.

34
Q

At present, which airspaces support only RNAV operations?

A

Continental en-route airspaces in Asia and the Middle East.

35
Q

*What are the major causes of CFIT accidents?

A
  1. Approaches other than ILS
  2. Flight crew complacency and visual illusions.
  3. Altimeter anomalies and complex instrument procedures.
  4. Lack of flight crew vertical and horizontal situational awareness.
36
Q

*How long should the GPWS escape maneuver be continued?

A

Until the GPWS warning ceases and until the airplane has reached the MSA.

37
Q

How do flight crew avoid altimeter setting errors?

A

Read back ATC altitude clearances and cross-check Altimeter indications and setting in accordance with company procedures.

38
Q

Which functions are common to both RNAV and RNP systems?

A

Navigation
Flight planning
Guidance &control
Display & system control
