Jeppesen Instrument/FAA Text Flashcards
What are sources of PILOT error in IFR flight?
Misinterpretation of chart, failure to understand a clearance, inability to use equipment properly, lack of coordination among crewmemebers.
DECIDE?
D-detect the fact that a change has occured
E- estimate the need to counter or react to the change
C- choose a desirable outcome for the flight
I- identify actions which could control the change
D- do the necessary action to adapt to change
E- Evaluate the effect of the action
What constitutes good situational awareness?
A solid mental picture of the flight
weather trends, good fitness, and ATC instructions
Kinesthetic sense?
A term used to describe an awareness of position obtained from the nerves in skin, joints, and muscles. It is unreliable becuase the brain cannot tell the difference between input caused by gravity and that of maneuvering G-loads.
Saptial disorientation?
occurs when there is a conflict between the signals relayed by your central vision and information provided by your peripheral vision, It is more likely in IFR conditions,
Vestibular disorientation?
When subjected to the differenct forces of flight during instrument maneuvers, the vestibular system may send misleading signals to the brain
Four types of hypoxia?
-Hypoxic - when there is not enough molecules of oxygen available at sufficient pressure to pass the membranes in your respiratory system.

okay
HOw do you establish the correct heading after losing it in coordinated flight?
When you see heading deviation, use the attitude indicator to establish an angle of bank equal to the degrees deviation from the heading (10 degrees off = 10 degree bank)
What is the primary instrument for bank control after a turn has been entered?
The turn coordinator
HOw can you estimate the approximate angle of bank required for a standard rate turn?
Divide true airspeed in knots by 10 and add 5 to result
How do you stop a turn on the desired heading?
Lead the roll out by 1/2 the angle of bank
Why does an aircraft tend to lose airspeed in a level turn?
The increased angle of attack results in an increase in induced drag
what is the primary pitch instrument?
The altimeter
What should you due when using the compass to turn to a northerly heading in the northern hemisphere?
Roll out before the compass reaches the desired heading
What should you do when using the comapss to turn to a southerly heading in the northern hemisphere?
Roll out after the compass passes the desired heading.
What is The most accurate way to turn to a specific heading without the heading indicator
a timed turn
What should you do prior to beinning a timed turn?
Determine the accuracy of the turn coordinator. Establish a standard rate indication on the instrument for 30 seconds and determine weather the aircraft turns 90 degrees
How do you determine how long to turn in a timed turn?
Divide the degrees of desired heading change by three degrees per second for a standard rate turn. the result in the number of seconds to turn
What does blockage of the ram air inlet and the drain hole cause?
It causes the airspeed indicator to react like an altimeter.
What does each dot on the deviation scale refer to with regard to HSI/VOR?
2 degrees, or 200 feet per nautical mile
What does an HSI provide that a VOR does not?
An HSI provides information about the aircraft’s heading and its relationship to the intended course
How do you determine magnetic bearing to a station?
Add magnetic heading (MH) and relative bearing (RB)
What is relative bearing?
the angle between the needle and the aircraft nose reference
How accurate is a DME?
TO within 1/2 mile or 3%, whichever is greater.
How far can a DME be received?
In a line of sight distance up to 199 nautical miles
When checking a VOR, what is the maximum permisible error on the ground?
+- 4
When checking a VOR what is the maximum permissible error while airborne?
+- 6
What is the maximum permissible difference allowable when performing a dual VOR check?
4
How is VOR station passage indicated?
By the first positive and complete reversal of the TO/FROM indicator
MH+RB=MB
to the station.. figure this out?
When is NDB station passage said to occur?
When the needle either points to a wingtip or settles at or near the 180 position
What is the maximum permissible deviation of a VOR checked via VOT?
+-4
What does RNAV provide?
(Area Navigation) provides the ability to fly direct to your destination without the need to overfly VORs or other ground facilities
What is RAIM and what does it do?
Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring continuously verifies the integrity (usability) of the signals received from the GPS constellation
What is a non precision instrument runway?
A runway used with an instrument approach that does not have an electronic glide slope for approach glide path information.
ILS?
It uses an electronic glide slope to provide glide path information during the approach. The associated runways are marked so you can receive important visual cues. Touchdown zone markings are coded to provide distance information in 500 foot increments. Aiming point markings are located approximately 1,000 feet from the landing threshold.
What might be unique about the taxiway to an ILS runway?
The runway might have an ILS hold line to prevent aircraft near the runway from interfering with the ILS signal.
What operations are permitted in a displaced threshold.
It depends upon the type of restrictions imposed. Taxi, takeoff, and rollout areas are marked by white arrow leading to the displaced threshold. When landing, you must touch down beyond the displaced threshold. If the displaced threshold is marked with a yellow taxi line leading to it, it can only be used for taxi operations.
How do mandatory instruction signs look?
They have white lettering with a red background
What color are displaced threshold lights?
Green
