16
Q

RAIM

A

Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
- 5 Satellites required to ensure reliable info is being received
- With bad satellite info, RAIM will annunciate integrity has been compromised and take that satellite offline

17
Q

WAAS

A

Wide Area Augmentation System
- 1) Signals from satellites are monitored by ground based stations
- 2)Ground stations correct signals for: Clock errors, Position errors
- 3) Ground stations send corrected data to master station
- 4) Master station prepares a correction message
- 5) New message is sent to a geostationary satellite (GEO)
- 6) GEO broadcasts to WAAS receiver on aircraft

18
Q

DME

A

Distance Measuring Equipment
- Uses slant range (line of sight) to determine distance
- Most Inaccurate when directly over VOR/DME (Negligible for every 1 mile away and 1000ft high)

19
Q

Compass Errors

A

VDMONA
- Variation: Difference between true and magnetic north (isogonic lines)
- Deviation: Electronic Equipment interferes with compass
- Magnetic Dip: as compass approaches magnetic poles, it wants to dip towards ground
- Oscillation: Mixture of all other errors
- Northerly Turning Errors (UNOS): Compass is a magnet and wants to stay attracted to magnetic poles (Result of Magnetic Dip) (1/2 latitude + 15 degrees)
- Acceleration Errors (ANDS): (Accelerate North, Decelerate South) Compass is a magnet and wants to stay attracted to magnetic poles (Result of Magnetic Dip) (ONLY EAST AND WEST HEADINGS)

20
Q

Instrument Landing System (ILS)
Precisions vs non-Precision

A
  • Precision Instrument Approach: Lateral and Vertical Guidance
  • Non-Precision Instrument Approach: Only Lateral Guidance
21
Q

ILS Components

A
  • Localizer
  • Glideslope
  • Marker Beacon
  • Approach Lighting System
22
Q

Localizer

A
  • Provides lateral guidance
  • Width 5 degrees
  • Full deflection to one side is only 2.5 degrees
23
Q

Glideslope

A
  • Provides Vertical Guidance
  • Angle between 2.5 and 3.5 degrees
24
Q

Marker Beacons

A
  • Avionics signal different colors/audible morse code when passing over
  • Outer: Flashing Blue, Code: (- - - -), usually 4-7nm from runway threshold
  • Middle: Flashing Amber, Code: (- . - .), 3500ft away from runway threshold
  • Inner: Flashing white light, Code: (. . . .), short and high pitched
25
Q

Required Inspections

A
  • Annual (12 Calendar Months)
  • VOR Check (30 Days)
  • 100hr (for hire/instruction)
  • Altimeter/Pitot-Static check (24 Calendar Months)
  • Transponder (24 Calendar Months)
  • ELT (12 Calendar Months)
  • Air Worthiness Directives
26
Q

27
Q

Currency

A

66 HITS
- In the last 6 months, 6 approaches must include: Holds, Intercepting, Tracking, Navigational Systems
- Can be completed in a Simulator
- After 6 months, you have 6 more months to get currency with safety pilot (safety pilot must be at least private in appropriate category and class, able to act as PIC and log name in remarks)
- After 12 months, Instrument Proficiency Check(IPC): can be done my designated examiner, CFII (details in back of ACS)

28
Q

Logging Instrument

A
  • Actual: be instrument rated, or with appropriately rated CFII, in IMC
  • Simulated: Wearing a hood, instrument rated or with a CFII
  • Recency: Approach conducted under actual IMC until past FAF, or under simulated conditions do to minimums
29
Q
