Q

Are we required to cover FOIs on this stage? Why do we cover them anyways?

A

No - this is an Instrument add on to my CFI certificate (CFII PTS Table)

FOIs are listed In the UND stage check manuals, because it is important that we stay current with FOIs to be good instructors

Q

What is RAIM? How many satellites does is need to function?

A
  • Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
  • An internal check (not augmentation) for bad satellite signals that will kick them out/replace with good ones
    1. 5 Satellites to DETECT a bad signal
    2. 6 Satellites to KICK IT OUT
29
Q

What is WAAS? What does it augment, and how? (Draw a Picture)

A
  • Wide Area Augmentation System
  • Corrects GPS positioning signal errors
    1. WAAS Satellites send signals to surveyed positions on the ground with known, unchanging coordinates
    2. Satellite signal indications are compared with the real ground station coordinates
    3. Any identified errors are signaled to a Mother-Ground Station
    4. Mother-Ground Station signals a Broad-casting satellite of the error
    5. Broadcasting Satellite sends out the correction to the a/c
30
Q

If we lose WAAS, how does that limit us?

A
  • Information will not be as accurate
  • En-Route CDI deflection will increase to 5nm either side
  • Airport you’re going to must have another type of approach available
31
Q

  2. When slaved to a Magnetic Flux Gate, it automatically updates with a/c rotation (adjusts to magnetic currents)
38
Q

What is the purpose of a flux gate/valve?

A

Deviation - errors in magnetic indication due to instrument/equipment that could not be eliminated

Variation - difference between True North and Magnetic North (changes over time)

42
Q

What information does the Turn-Slip Indicator provide? How does it know what the airplane is doing?

A
  1. Aircraft YAW (turn rate/heading) only
  2. GYRO is mounted HORIZONTAL and PARALLEL to LATERAL axis, allowing it to “feel” precession from the a/c YAWING around it
43
Q

What is Relative Bearing? What is the formula for it?

A
  • The angular difference between a/c heading and the location of the station, measures CLOCKWISE from the nose of the a/c

45,000-60,000’ (100nm)

45
Q

How does a DME measure distance between the station and a/c?

A
  • The TIME delay between a/c INTERROGATOR signals being sent OUT, and the ground beacon TRANSPONDER REPLY PULSE being received back
46
Q

What is the purpose of having SSVs?

A
  • To know the MINIMUM ranges in which you are GUARANTEED reception
  • To plan routes always within a SSV of a navaid WHEN FLYING OFF-ROUTE
47
Q

What are the 3 ways to check a VOR and their respective tolerances? Where can you find information on check facilities?

A
  • Information can be found in AFD/Pacific Chart Supplement
    1. VOT/Ground Checks: +/- 4° with VOR reading 180TO or 360FR
    2. Dual VOR Checks: +/- 4 °
    3. Airborne Checks: +/- 6 °
48

49
Q

How does the altimeter work?

A
  • Standard temp and pressure is sealed within the aneroid barometer
  • As non-standard temp and pressure change in the atmosphere, the barometer will compress/expand in response
  • The barometer’s compression/expansion is transmitted through mechanical linkage to rotate instrument pointers
50
Q

What happens to TAS with changing altitude? Why?

A
  • TAS increases with increasing altitude
  • TAS decreases with decreasing altitude
  • As altitude increases, air becomes less dense and therefore Pitot Pressure readings will decrease at a greater rate than the atmospheric presser outside, and vice versa
51
Q

How does the VSI detect climbs and descents?

A
  • Diaphragm measures change in atmospheric pressure (from static line) for “trend” information
  • Calibrated leak in the back of the casing indicates “rate” information depending on the amount of air entering/exiting
52
