Random Flashcards
Single Coded ID every 30 seconds from VORTAC
DME code sounds every 30 seconds, so this means DME is operative. But the VOR code cannot be heard, and it should sound 3-4 times every 30 seconds so this means VOR is inop

When is radar service terminated during a visual approach?
Automatically when ATC instructs to contact the Tower
Precision runway monitoring is
Radar system to monitor approaches parallel runways
In en route phase “radar service terminated “
Resume normal position reporting
Contact approach maybe used in lieu of
standard instrument approach procedure SIAP
Which nautical chart depicts MTR’s above 1500 feet?
IFR low altitude en route
Slipping or skidding in IMC conditions can result in a false sense of
Banking
What FL requires DME / suitable RNAV for IFR flight?
Ops at or above FL 240 if VOR nav required
Force that causes an airplane to turn
Horizontal lift component
If first airport of intended landing has no IAP, is alternate required?
Yes, planning fuel to an alternate is required
REIL
Runway end identifier lights designed to help identify runway amidst preponderance of other lighting
Roll upsets caused by ice accumulations forward of the ailerons can be remedied by
Increase airspeed
extend wing flaps to first setting
Rolling wings level
++ on tower open times means
To subtract extra hour
How is ATC radar used when the facility is approved for approach control services?
Course guidance
ASR and PAR approaches
monitoring
To use an instrument departure procedure, the pilot must possess
Either the textual or the graphic form of the approved procedure
All pilots should use correct local altimeter setting because
It provides better data for aircraft SEPARATION
Maximum permissible variation between two bearings during an airborne dual VOR check
4 degrees between indicated bearings
NO PLUS OR MINUS
VFR on top clearance is based on magnetic, heading or course?
Magnetic course
Rule of thumb is to avoid restricted and prohibited areas by at least
3NM
What type of altitude am I using at flight level 210?
Pressure
(29.92 altimeter setting will give the pressure altitude)
“Resume own navigation” after being vectored to a victor airway. You should.
Maintain airway by use of your own navigation equipment
What three instruments are affected if the Venturi is clogged by ice?
Turn coordinator, heading indicator and attitude indicator (all bank gyros)
How can you obtain an IFR clearance when there is no clearance delivery frequency listed?
Contact flight service before Taxi
(do not use departure and approach control frequency)
Main purpose of vertical decent angle for non-precision approaches
to establish stabilize decent
(D) notams
Airports and nav facilities (ex runway closures)
FDC Notams
Flight data center notams- IFR changes (airways or approaches)
Air data computer malfunctions. What info unreliable?
Primary flight display (PFD)
airspeed,
altitude,
and vertical speed
“Minimum fuel “– what does this imply to ATC?
Advisory – emergency situation possible
To level off from descent at a higher speed, add power— feet above the desired altitude
100-150
During standard rate level turn, what effect does increase in air speed have on the rate and radius of turn?
Radius would increase, rate would decrease
Taking off runway 4 behind a Boeing 737. Which wind will prolong wake turbulence?
180@5
It’s a light quartering tail wind
Requires maximum caution
Can move the with turbulence into the touchdown zone ⚠️

180 S
360 N
FAA wrong
Ammended from IGN to SAX
Middle
41 min
12 gallons
Hdg 350 N
Left turn to 280
N- opposite (slower)
Middle and far bars of 3 bar VASI
