SARON (General Navigation) Flashcards
If an ATF frequency is not published, what frequency shall you use:
123.2
MF reporting requirements:
intentions before entering maneuvering area
- Intentions before entering MF airspace
- If IFR/VFR departing uncontrolled but lying within an MF, you shall call:
- Before taking position on runway, with departure intentions
- Before taking off visually and over radio ensure no conflicting traffic
- After takeoff, report departing circuit
During a GNSS overlay approach, is a pilot required to monitor the underlying approach aid (NDB, VOR, etc.)?
No! Unless stated in AFM or AFM supplement (aircraft POH, AFM)
Can you fly a GNSS overlay approach if the ground-based NAVAID us U/S?
Yes you can.
What is the “leans”?
Spatial disorientation; feels like you are upright but actually turning
- Slow turns in cloud; fluid in ears stops moving; not quick enough to allow your body to recognize a bank.
- Avoid by making slow turns in bank and me more authoritative on controls
** you correct your wings back to level flight abruptly, your ears and brain think they’re banking in the opposite direction**
leannnnn; fluid stops moving and you think you’re straight and level
What is Coriolis illusion:
In a constant turn (no fluid in ears moving) and you turn your head quickly (moving fluid in ears)
Avoid by focusing on instruments!
Coriolis; movement of head movement of earth
What is Somatogravic illusion:
- Accelerate; think you’re pitching up, and you pitch down as a result of this feeling
- Decelerate; think you’re pitching down, and you pitch up as a result of this feeling
“Somatogravic; feeling of gravity in airplane when accel and decel”
A slaved gyro magnetic compass (gyrosyn) minimizes oscillation and turning errors associated with p-type magnetic compasses though utilization of a:
Remote sensing unit equipped with a torque actuator
slaved gyromagnetic = remote sensing unit w/ torque actuator
NOTAM:VOR U/S
Do you need replacement NOTAM?
No, only if the NOTAM stated “TIL APROX”
NDB or VOR which one is restricted to line of sight?
NDB is not restricted to line of sight
VOR depends on:
A PHASE DIFFRENCE between two signals transmitted simultaneously form the same ground station
Minimum reception distance and altitude of VOR?
40NM at 1000ft!
Dual VOR check in air & ground tolerance:
4 degrees and 4 degrees
Depth of an ILS glide path beam?
1.4 degrees
Is it possible to increase reception range of an HF radio by changing frequencies?
Yes, higher frequencies will increase reception range
