Navigation Flashcards
Coordinate System
-WGS-84
-World Geodetic System at 1984
Reliable Localizer Coverage
-20 degrees 25 / 18
-35 degrees 17 / 10
-ICAO / FAR
Localizer Signal
-VHF signals
-Consists two overlapping cone shaped patterns
-Left lobe 90Hz, Right Lobe 150Hz modulation
Glidepath Signal
-UHF signals
-Consists two overlapping cone shaped patterns
-Top lobe 90Hz, Bottom lobe 150Hz
Low Visiblity Minimas
-CAT I: 200ft / RVR 550m - Visibility 800m
-CAT II: 100ft / RVR 300m
-CAT IIIa: <100ft / 175m
-CATIIIb: <100-50ft / 150-125m with fail passive rollout
-CATIIIb lowest: <50 / 75m with fail operational rollout
-CATIIIc: no DH / no limit with fail operational rollout
APV
-Approach with Vertical Guidance
-LNAV/VNAV approaches
-Have DA/DH instead of MDA/MDH
LPV
-Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance
-More precise than APV
-They need SBAS
Baro-VNAV
-No need for cold weather correction but path changes within limits
-They have min operational temperature
-When used SBAS path does not change
RNP LNAV only Approach
-Uses MDA/MDH
-Obstruction different than LNAV/VNAV
Side-step Maneuver
-RWYs must be within 1200ft
-May be called “Swing Over”
-Uses MDA/MDH
SBAS / GBAS
-Satellite Based Augmentation System / WAAS: Wide Area Augmentation System
-Ground Based Augmentation System / LAAS: Local Area Augmentation System
RAIM
-Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring by aircraft equipment
-Requires one additional satellite to be available withing range
Oceanic PBN
-RNP 2
-RNP 4
-RNAV 10 (RNP 10)
Difference between RNP and RNAV
RNP requires on-board performance monitoring and alerting equipment
A-RNP
-Advanced RNP
-Includes RNAV 1/2/5 and RNP 1/2 + RNP Approach
-It’s a package
