Nav Flashcards
LF/MF
Freq Range
NDB Range
30 to 3000 khz
190-415 and 510-535 are used by NDBs
HF
Freq Range
3000 to 30000
Range dependent on ionosphere
VHF
freq Range
Nav Range
Radio Range
30-300 MHZ
108-117.95 ILS and VORs
118-136 for Aviation Voice comms
UHF
Freq Range
300 to 3000 MHZ
NDB
Power rating
Min to station
NM to station
L less than 50 watts
M 50W-2000W
H at least 2000W
Min to station = time in seconds/degrees of bearing change
NM to station = TAS x mins flown/degrees of bearing change
Distance = TASx TTS/60
VOR
Reception equation
VFR reception distance = 1.23x(square root altitude AGL)
HSI
ILS dots
ILS one dot equals 0.5 degrees
1 dot on Glideslope equals 0.1 degrees
RAIM
How many satellites
Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring
Needs 5 satellites
Lambert projection
To fly straight line, change heading 2 degree for every 3 degrees of longitude
Up to 300 miles measure heading off middle meridian
Time and longitude
Civil twilight 6 degrees
25 minutes
AST 60W, EST 75W, CST 90W, MST 105W, PST 120W
East subtract 4 mins for each degree east
1:60 rule
One degree off for 60 mins equals INM
Distance off course/distance travelled*60 equals angle
Latitude
1 min = INM
60 min equals 1 degree
