Instrument - Navigation display (Day 4, 5 and 6)

Question 1

Regarding the RMI, the head of the needle points towards:

Answer 1

The NAVAID source

Question 2

Regarding the RMI, the tail of the needle points towards:

Answer 2

The NAVAID radial you are flying on

Question 3

What is “Homing”?

Answer 3

Adjust AC headding as necessary to keep the bearing pointer under the top index or upper lubber line. Because homing does not incorporate wind-drift correction, ind a X-wind the AC follows a curved path to the station.

Question 4

HSI is what?

Answer 4

Horizontal situation indicator (basically the ND)

Question 5

Wind drift correction: “initial correction”

Answer 5

Used to return to course:
30* below 90 kts
20* at or above 90 kts

Question 6

Wind drift correction: “Too little wind correction”

Answer 6

Repeat initial correction to return to course

Question 7

Wind drift correction: “Second trail”

Answer 7

Increase correction by applying 1/2 of the first trail correction (ex: 1/2 of 15* is 7.5* [rounded to 7] is 22*)

Question 8

Wind drift correction: “Too much wind correction”

Answer 8

If trail drift correction is too large, turn to parallel course and allow wind to drift back on course; then decrease correction on next trail correction.

Question 9

Wind drift correction: “Bracketing process”

Answer 9

Continue until a heading is determined that maintains AC course.

Question 10

Wind drift correction: “Corrections for unusually strong winds”

Answer 10

After applying standard initial corrections and course is not reintercepted. correction of 40* or more may be required to return to course.

Question 11

Full deflection on the CDI in NMS mode (enroute) is:

Answer 11

2nm (1nm pr circle)

Question 12

Full deflection on the CDI in VOR mode (enroute) is:

Answer 12

10* (5* pr circle)
