Question 1

A VOR receiver with normal five-dot course sensitivity shows a three-dot deflection at 30 NM from the station. The aircraft would be displaced approximately how far from the course centerline?

Answer 1

3 NM

Question 2

When checking the sensitivity of a VOR receiver, the number of degrees in course change as the OBS is rotated to move the CDI from center to the last dot on either side should be between

Answer 2

10 and 12 degree

Question 3

What indication should a pilot receive when a VOR station is undergoing maintenance and may be considered unreliable?

Answer 3

no coded identification, but possible navigation indications

Question 4

Where does the DME indicator have the greatest error between ground distance to the VORTAC and displayed distance?

Answer 4

high altitudes close to the VORTAC

Question 5

Which distance is displayed by the DME indicator?

Answer 5

slant range distance in NM

Question 6

When using VOR for navigation, which of the following should be considered as station passage?

Answer 6

the first positive, complete reversal of the TO FROM indicator

Question 7

Full scale deflection of a CDI occurs when the course deviation bar or needle

Answer 7

deflects from the center of the scale to either far side of the scale

Question 8

What is the meaning of a single coded identification received only once approximately every 30 seconds from a VORTAC?

Answer 8

The DME component is operative and the VOR component is inoperative

Question 9

Which DME indication should you receive when you are directly over a VORTAC site at approximately 6000 feet AGL?

Answer 9

1

Question 10

An aircraft which is located 30 miles from a VOR station and shows a 1/2 scale deflection on the CDI would be how far from the selected course centerline?

Answer 10

2 1/2 miles

Question 11

When a VOR/DME is collected under frequency pairings and the VOR portion is inoperative, the DME identifier will repeat at an interval of

Answer 11

30 second intervals at 1350 Hz

Question 12

What angular deviation from a VOR course centerline is represented by a full scale deflection of the CDI?

Answer 12

10 degree

Question 13

When is one time you may use a suitable RNAV system to substitute for a ground-based NAVAID?

Answer 13

when the ground based NAVAID is out or service

Question 14

Which of the following should be considered as station passage when using VOR?

Answer 14

the first complete reversal of the TO-FROM indicator

Question 15

A particular VOR station is undergoing routine maintenance. This is evidenced by

Answer 15

removal of the identification feature

Question 16

As a rule of thumb, to minimize DME slant range error, how far from the facility should you be to consider the reading as accurate?

Answer 16

one or more miles for each 1000 feet of altitude above the facility

Question 17

What angular deviation from a VOR course centerline is represented by a 1/2 scale deflection of the CDI?

Answer 17

5 degree

Question 18

After passing a VORTAC, the CDI shows 1/2 scale deflection to the right. What is indicated if the deflection remains constant for a period of time?

Answer 18

the airplane is flying away from the radial
