Navigation Flashcards
What is the correct procedure to find your position using two VOR stations?
a. fly directly towards the first VOR, then tune to the second VOR
b. set the OBS to a radial from the first VOR, then intercept and fly along it. Repeat for the second VOR. Your position is where the radials intersect.
c. set both OBS to the same radial and fly until both needles center.
d. adjust your heading towards the first VOR until both needles center with the second VOR
b.
What is the ADF frequency range?
a. 535 - 1605 kHz
b. 190 - 106 kHz

d. 190 - 535 kHz
d.
The frequency allotted for the VOR:
a. 118.00 - 135 MHz
b. 108 - 111 MHz
c. 108 - 117.95 MHz
d. none of these
c.
VOR station transmits radio beams called
a. bearings
b. magnetic bearings
c. radials
d. none of these
c.
What are the 3 kinds of VOR stations?
a. short, medium, long
b. terminal, low, and high altitude
c. enroute VOR, approach VOR, and station VOR
d. none of these
b.
You should always identified the VOR before using by checking:
a. Morse code identifier
b. errors
c. accuracy
d. none of these
a.
What is the meaning of ADF?
a. automatic direction frequency
b. automatic direction finder
c. automatic direction fix
d. automatic direction free
b.
What is the advantage of the VHF frequency used for VOR navigation?
a. You can receive AM radio broadcasts over your VOR on these frequencies
b. VHF frequencies are not limited by mountains or the curvature of the earth
c. VHR radio waves are less susceptible to interference than low-frequency radio waves
d. none of these
c.
Magnetic heading plus relative bearing equal to
a. relative bearing
b. magnetic heading
c. magnetic bearing
d. none of these
c.
A technique in flying the NDB by keeping the needle of the ADF on the aircraft nose:
a. tacking
b. homing
c. bracketing
d. none of these
b.
If the CDI is deflected 3 dots to the right of your VOR indicator and heading indicator are in general agreement, where is your desired course:
a. 6 degrees left
b. 3 degrees right
c. 5 degrees right
d. 6 degrees right
d.
It is the horizontal direction from 1 point to another; it can be measured clockwise in degrees from any reference point.
a. bearing
b. heading
c. relative bearing
d. none of these
a.
Maximum error of VOR in flight or IFR navigation:
a. 2 degrees
b. 4 degrees
c. 6 degrees
d. 8 degrees
