Navigation Flashcards
Magnetic Heading
Magnetic course with wind correction angle applied.
How long are charts and sectionals good for?
56 days
In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the North if…
the aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a south heading in the northern hemisphere?
The compass will indicate a turn to the right but further rate than is actually occurring.
When cruising on a mag course between 0-179 degrees, use what altitude?
Odds thousands feet plus 500.
What symbol is used to depict airports that have fuel?
Ticks around the airport symbol.
What Radial is an aircraft crossing if the OBS is set to 210 and the indicator is TO, and the CDI is centered.
030 radial
Where on the sectional does it say VOR DME?
In a box with the name of the VOR, frequency, channel of DME, plus identifier.
What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area. MOA
Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.
Deviation in magnetic compass is caused by…
magnetic fields in the aircraft.
In the northern hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated on a northern heading the magnetic compass will normally indicate…
Correctly
True Course
the course measured on the aeronautical chart. Measured from true north.
Magnetic Heading
the true variation applied.
Variation
Obtained from isogonic line on chart. (added if west, subtract if east)
What are isobars
reveal the pressure gradient of an area of high or low-pressure areas on a map.
