Navigation

Question 1

Category C

Answer 1

Landing Category for the CRJ-700

Question 2

1/2 sm 200 ft

Answer 2

Lowest landing minimums for and ILS approach

Question 3

Ground Based Navigation

Answer 3

LOC, VOR, DME

Question 4

Satellite Based Navigation

Answer 4

GPS, RNAV, RNP

Question 5

SID Route

Answer 5

Standard Instrument Departure

Question 6

STAR Route

Answer 6

Standard Terminal Arrival Route

Question 7

Purpose of SIDS and STARS

Answer 7

To sequence traffic in and out of the terminal environment and relieve work load

Question 8

ILS

Answer 8

Instrument Landing System- approach with the lowest landing minimums. It is made up of a localizer (LOC) and glideslope (GS). If the localizer is U/S the approach is not useable. If the GS is out you can still use the approach but will have higher minimums.

Question 9

Non-Precision Approach

Answer 9

An approach that only gives us horizontal guidance

Question 10

Types of Non-precision Approach

Answer 10

GPS, VOR, LDA

Question 11

Precision Approach

Answer 11

A standard instrument approach procedure in which both vertical and horizontal guidance is provided.

Question 12

Types of Precision Approach

Answer 12

ILS and RNP

Question 13

VOR

Answer 13

Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni-Directional Range (VOR) is a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a receiving unit to determine its position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons.

Question 14

Jet Routes

Answer 14

High altitude airways from 18,000 feet MSL to FL450

Question 15

Victor Routes

Answer 15

Low Altitude Routes below 18,000 feet MSL

Question 16

RVSM Airspace

Answer 16

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum- the reduction of vertical space between aircraft from 2,000 to 1,000 feet at flight levels from FL290 to FL410. It was implemented as a means to increase airspace capacity and access to more fuel efficient flight levels. Flights Require a ATC transponder and Auto pilot to fly in RVSM airspace

Question 17

Odd Flight Level

Answer 17

Route heading in an eastward direction

Question 18

Even Flight Level

Answer 18

Route heading in a westward direction

Question 19

Runway Slope

Answer 19

Slope of a runway from one end to the other. The allowable limits for the slope of a runway are between -2% to +2%. Runway slope is found in the Airport Facilities Directory (AFD)

Question 20

Takeoff Performance

Answer 20

Some of the things that can affect or limit an aircrafts takeoff performance are runway slope, winds (headwind/tailwind), runway length, temperature, airport elevation, aircraft systems operating (anti-ice, ac pack, etc)

Question 21

One Navaid Rule

Answer 21

When calculating alternate minimums. If you have one navigation facility then you will Add 400 ft to the ceiling and 1sm to the visibility.

Question 22

Two Navaid Rule

Answer 22

When calculating alternate minimums If you have Two navigational facilities. Determine your two lowest landing minimums and you will add 200 feet to the higher of the two ceilings and 1/2 mile to the higher of the two visibilities. They must be two separate but suitable runways. Meaning they must have two different navigational aids and must consider the winds. (Can’t exceed 10kt TW)

Question 23

VOR Service Volumes

Answer 23

High VOR 130 miles

Low VOR 70 miles

Terminal VOR 25 miles

Question 24

Landing Category

Answer 24

Landing category is based on the landing speed of the aircraft
