Q

Heading Indicator

A

● G1000 system utilizes an HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator)
● Current track represented by a
magenta diamond
● Turn rate trend vector

17
Q

Turn Coordinator

A 
● Canted Gyro
○ Senses both rate of roll and
rate of turn
● Standard rate turn marked on
turn index
● Does not display bank angle
● Electrically powered
18
Q

ILS/LOC

A

● Horizontal guidance
● Positioned at the end of runway
● 700 ft wide at runway threshold

Localizer service volume

  • 10nm, within 35 degrees of centerline
  • 18nm, within 10 degrees of centerline
19
Q

Area Navigation (RNAV)

A 
● Allows aircraft to fly directly to
any point within the coverage
zone of the station being used
● Frees up more airspace for
traffic
20
Q

Required Navigation Performance (RNP)

A

● Allows an aircraft to fly directly between two 3D points in space
● Specific testing and equipment are required (autopilot and precision computer)
● Generally won’t fly until corporate or airline aircraft
