NAV Flashcards
You’re cleared for a DP on an IFR flight plan. After takeoff you’re instructed, “Climb and maintain FL350” what do you do?
Climb immediately to FL350 and proceed directly to the DP transition point.
On a flight from NAS Meridian to Montgomery Regional, prior to commencing a HI ILS approach, tune and ID NAVAIDS. Which TACAN should be ID’ed?
Channel 97 (MXF)
For all flights in a jet, OPNAV 3710 requires fuel from takeoff to landing plus a reserve of?
10% but not less than that required for 20 minutes of flight at max endurance (10,000 MSL)
Check approach chart for NAS Meridian HI-TACAN 19L.
Between which radials must you maintain 3000?
328 & 358
Check departure mins for NAS JAX. With all NAVAIDS and facilities operating, takeoff mins for a standard instrument departure from RWY 9 would be?
200 & 1/2
If you’re in the GCA pattern within 25nm of the field and you go NORDO what altitude should you maintain?
Minimum safe altitude from the approach plate or the last assigned altitude whichever is higher.
What does an asterisk* mean next to an ATIS freq?
It operates non-continuously
If you go NORDO enroute what do you do?
maintain the last assigned altitude for the current route segment and then the MEA if higher.
AVE FAME
When has an approach officially started?
At the initial penetration altitude at the IAF?
If cleared for the approach are you cleared to land as well?
No
What is the symbol for PAPI lights?
P surrounded by a circle
What do you do if you go IMC during a circle to land procedure?
Execute a missed approach for the original runway, not the one you are circling to
Clearance read-back implies acceptance except under what circumstances?
If you read-back with a refusal and state the reason for refusal.
What is the non-interference range for TACAN
130nm
Is a voice report required upon reaching a newly assigned altitude?
No
A GPS requires _ satellites for lat and long and with _ satellites it can also get altitude.
3 for lat and long only, 4 for altitude.
GPS (passive receivers) do what to determine satellite to aircraft range?
They send information that requires a response and the satellite processes the time elapsed between transmissions. (Time-Delay)
Calculating the lead point to turn from a radial on to an arc.
- 5 x GS = lead point DME
ex) .5 x 200 = 1 DME
Determining the lead radial for an arc to radial intercept.
60/ARC DME = Radials per Mile
then
.5 x GS = DME
(1 may be substituted for .5 if a half standard rate turn is required)
finally
DME x Radials Per Mile = Turn point in radials.
What is the default holding direction?
Clockwise (right turns)
Surface to 6000 MSL minimum holding airspeed?
200
Three holding entries
Parallel, Teardrop, Direct
6001’ - 14000’ MSL minimum holding airspeed?
230
Height Above Touchdown (HAT) is associated with what approaches? MSL or AGL?
Straight-in, AGL
14001’ MSL and above minimum holding airspeed?
265
Height Above Airport (HAA) is associated with what approaches? MSL or AGL?
Circling, AGL
Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) is associated with what approaches? MSL or AGL?
Non-Precision (no glideslope approaches), MSL
Procedure Turn Approach
An approach designed to time outbound and include a turn (denoted by a barb on the approach plate) which will set the aircraft back on the final approach course while insuring the “Remain Within” distance is observed.
