202v3 Chs. 8, 10, 11, 12, 20
Which sections of the AIM refers to basic NAVAID information?
1-1-1 through 1-1-20
Who should pilots notify of any NAVAID malfunction or deteriorating performace?
ATC
True or False. There is a direct correlation between NDB signal strength and the volume of its identifier.
True
PBN Procedures are primarily reliant on:
GNSS
The ______ is a limited network of VORs that should provide nearly continuous VOR signal at 5,000’ AGL across the NAS outside of the western US mountainous area.
MON (Minimum Operational Network)
What NAVAID consists of a rotating antenna for transmitting azimuth information and a receiver-transmitter for transmitting range information?
TACAN
True or False. Only azimuth information must be available for aircrew to navigate using TACAN; range may be out of service as long as there is a valid NOTAM
False
What are the 3 principle factors that affect TACAN signals?
Aircraft Altitude, Distance, and Terrain and Obstructions
What is the default TACAN setting?
X
How many interrogations can TACAN ground equipment respond to before becoming saturated?
100
True or False. TACANs are designed to disregard the weakest signals when more than the limit of interrogations are received.
True
Which is not a ICAO PANS-OPS LOC standard service volume?
A. 17 NM between 10 and 35 degrees of centerline
B. 38 NM within 5 degrees of centerline
C. 10 NM outside of 35 degrees of centerline
D. 25 NM within 10 degrees of centerline
B. 38 NM within 5 degrees of centerline
What is the ICAO abbreviation for localizer facility on instrument approaches?
LLZ
ICAO PANS-OPS criteria require localizer final approach track alignment within how many degrees of runway centerline?
5 Degrees
A localizer offset more than ____ degrees from runway centerline is
considered a __________
3, Localizer Type Directional Aid (LDA)
Unless local directives or local FLIP procedures are in place, what should be used to determine which instrument chart procedural criteria aircrew should use?
Geographic Location of the Aircraft
If flying outside the NAS, which procedures should be used?
ICAO
True or False. A current copy of appropriate instrument procedure charts must be in the aircraft for departure, destination, and alternates. If necessary, charts may be out of date by only one cycle.
False
When using printed approach charts, what should you refer to to ensure the publication is up to date?
Terminal Change Notice
All instrument procedures are based off of:
Ground track
Where is the design criteria used to develop an IAP published on the chart?
Bottom left margin below ammendment and revision date
What can pilots assume when no criteria is published on the IAP plate?
US TERPS criteria is applied
True or False. For a fly over waypoint, turn anticipation is allowed
False
The missed approach holding waypoint is normally a:
Fly over waypoint
Use of Radius-to-fix legs require approval from whom?
MAJCOM
When can you proceed direct to the initial RF fix or accept a vector to join an RF leg when:
Aircrew can never accept this
Equipment wise, what is required to be coupled to the RNP system?
Autopilot (AP) or Flight Director (FD) with roll steering capability
True or False. An electronic display depicting RNP computed path is required to fly RNP
True
How many degrees of bank must the AP and FD be capable of commanding above 400’ AGL to fly RNP?
25 degrees
What is the maximum deviation of an RNP leg during RNP 1 operations?
0.5 NM (Half the navigation accuracy associated with the procedure)
Which commercial product does not require a comparison evaluation but requires MAJCOM training?
Jeppesen
