Unit 3 Flashcards
What is the principle of VOR
Phase Comparison
What is point-to-point navigation coming from one ground station to another. This also determines the A/C’s position by magnetic bearing to two or more (triangulation) ground stations and plotting these bearings on a map
VHF Omni Diretional range (VOR)
What two signals does VOR use
30 Hz Reference and 30 Hz Variable
Which 30 Hz signal is Omni directional and uses frequency modulation
Reference
What 30 Hz signal is sweeping and uses amplitude modulation
Variable
What shape is created by _______ on the Cardiod Power Pattern?
Heart shape, reflector
What groundstations is enroute navigation
High Altitude and Low Altitude
What groundstation is local navigation
Terminal
Frequency range of High Altitude and Low Altitude (Enroute)
112-117.95 MHz
Frequency range of Terminal (LOC)
108-111.85 MHz (Even 1/10)
How many possible frequencies for Enroute and how many for LOC. How many it total?
Enroute - 120
Local - 40
Total Frequency/channels - 160
