GPS 3

Question 1

GPS systems certified for IFR enroute and terminal operations may be used to

Answer 1

fly the aircraft along a DME arc.

GPS used to : FLY the AC along ARC

Question 2

If GPS RAIM is lost while flying IFR enroute, you should

Answer 2

advise ATC and continue while actively monitoring required alternate navigation systems.

RAIM lost while flying: Advise & Continue

Question 3

You are flying IFR in an aircraft equipped with GPS (no WAAS). Your destination airport approach requires GPS. Any alternate airport must have an instrument approach procedure

Answer 3

that is not GPS based.

GPS no WAAS; Any ALT MUST have IAP: not GPS Based

Question 4

While flying an RNAV GPS approach, the published vertical descent angle can be used to

Answer 4

establish a stabilized descent from the FAF or step-down fix to the MDA.

Descent Angle used to: EST Stabilized Descent from FAF-MDA

Question 5

(Refer to figure 249.) If the RNAV (GPS) RWY 30 approach was the only IAP available at LBF, which of the following statements is true?

Answer 5

Circling to runway 17 is not authorized at night.

GPS RWY30 APPH = Circling RWY 17 is NA @Night

Question 6

When on an RNAV (GPS) approach and you lose GPS signal, you should

Answer 6

Immediately fly the missed approach procedure.

Lose GPS Signal on APPH: Immediately Fly MAP

Question 7

During a GPS approach (non-WAAS) to your destination, what requirement must be met?

Answer 7

An alternate airport, if required, must have a non-GPS approach.

GPS Non-WAAS: ALT Aport MUST have Non-GPS APPH

Question 8

Prior to beginning a GPS approach, the pilot must verify the validity of the database. One method of doing this is to

Answer 8

Determine that the waypoints and the transitions coincide with the names on the procedure chart.

Valid Database: Determine Waypoints & Transitions coincide Chart

Question 9

You are flying a WAAS equipped aircraft. Filing an alternate under IFR that only has a GPS approach is permitted provided your flight planning is based on

Answer 9

Flying the RNAV(GPS) LNAV or circling minima.

Filling ALT w/Only GPS APPH; Based on: Flying RNAV/LNAV or Circling Minima

Question 10

Since GPS navigation signals can be jammed, interfered with, or spoofed (failed), what should pilots do when noticing erratic or deteriorating GPS performance?

Answer 10

Report the malfunction by radio immediately or by telephone to the controlling ATC facility.

Erratic GPS: RPT Malfunction immediately

Question 11

(Refer to figure 47.) Using an appropriate GPS navigation system, you are flying east on V448. You have just crossed LEARN. How will you identify ANGOO?

Answer 11

Load YAKIMA as the active waypoint and watch for 37 NM remaining.

How to ID ANGOO: Load YAKIMA as WAYPT
