True Airspeed
the speed of your aircraft relative to the air it’s flying through
Calibrated Airspeed
indicated airspeed corrected for instrument and positional errors
Pressure Altitude
the altitude of the aircraft above the standard datum plane
Density Altitude
pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature.

what does VOR stand for
Very-High Frequency Omnidirectional Range
Purpose of VOR Mon network
designed to enable aircraft, having lost GPS service, to revert to conventional navigation procedures
when is slant range error the greatest
when close and high to station
What does an HSI do?
combines heading indictor and nav
what does RMI stand for
Radio magnetic indictor
ILS components
Glideslope
Localizer
Range

When do you get reverse sensing
with non-HSI or nav
Marker beacon colors
OM: blue
MM: amber
IM: white
Zone of ambiguity
Area perpendicular to the selected course where the aircraft does not have a clear indication if it is the TO or FROM side of the VOR
Cone of confusion
A cone-shaped volume of airspace directly above a VOR station where no signal is received, causing the CDI to fluctuate.

What is RAIM
receiver autonomous integrity monitoring
Verifies accuracy of GPS system
Scaling of RAIM
Enroute: outside 30NM, 5NM scale
Terminal: inside 30NM, 1NM scale
Approach: within 2NM of FAF, .3NM scale
How many satellites for RAIM?
Need 5 for RAIM, need 6 to kick out bad signal
Scaling for WAAS
Enroute: 2nm
Terminal: 1nm
Approach: .3nm
Do we need WAAS to fly LPV?
yes
what is ADSB
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast
where do we need ADSB out?
A, B, C, and E above 10000MSL or 2500 AGL mtns.
over the gulf of mexico
What does RNP stand for
Required Navigation Performance
what is straight leg
track to fix
what is RF leg
radius to fix
when do we turn on course when taking off IFR
RWY Heading to 400ft AGL then turn on course
what is the standard IFR climb gradient

How to find OBS?
MC –> TC (variation, do the opposite) –> AF/D minus
