OGRAD 08.03 - VOR/DME Area Navigation

Results

Q1. Which of the following lists information required to input a waypoint or ‘Phantom Station’ into a basic VOR/DME-based Area Navigation System?

Magnetic track and distance to a VOR/DME from the waypoint or 'Phantom Station'

Radial and distance from a VOR/DME to the waypoint or 'Phantom Station'

Radials from a minimum of two VORs to the waypoint or 'Phantom Station'

Magnetic track and distance from the aircraft to the waypoint or 'Phantom Station'

Radial and distance from a VOR/DME to the waypoint or ‘Phantom Station’

Q2. What is the deviation per dot on the HSI when using a 2-dot basic RNAV system in the en-route mode?

10 NM

5 NM

2 NM

1 NM

5 NM

Q3. In an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) data relating primarily to navigation is provided by:

Inertial Reference Systems, Navigation radios, True airspeed and drift inputs

Flight Management Computer, Aircraft Mapping Radar, Navigation radios

Inertial Reference Systems, Aircraft Mapping Radar, Navigation radios

Navigation radios, Flight Management Computer, Inertial Reference Systems

Q4. How does the Electronic Flight Instrument System display of a B737-400 respond to the failure of a VHF navigation (VOR) receiver?

The pointer flashes and a VOR 1 or 2 failure warning bar appears

It removes the associated magenta deviation bar and/or pointer from the display

The pointer rotates around the display and a VOR 1 or 2 failure warning bar appears

The deviation bar and/or pointer change colour to red and flash intermittently

It removes the associated magenta deviation bar and/or pointer from the display

Q5. Which of the following combinations is likely to result in the most accurate Area Navigation (RNAV) fixes?

VOR/VOR

DME/DME

NDB/VOR

VOR/DME

DME/DME

Q6. Which one of the following lists information given by a basic VOR/DME-based Area Navigation System?

True airspeed; drift angle

Aircraft position in latitude and longitude

Wind velocity

Crosstrack distance; alongtrack distance; angular course deviation

Q7. Erratic indications may be experienced when flying towards a basic VOR/DME-based Area Navigation System ‘Phantom Station’:

when operating at low altitudes close to the limit of reception range from the reference station

when in the cone of silence overhead the Phantom Station

when the Phantom Station is out of range

because, under adverse conditions (relative bearing to the Phantom Station other than 180°/360°) it takes the computer more time to calculate the necessary information

when operating at low altitudes close to the limit of reception range from the reference station

Q8. In order to enter a waypoint that is designated by a VOR into an RNAV, the VOR:

does not have to be in range when entered but must be when used

does not have to be in range when entered or used

must be in range

has to be positively identified by one of the pilots

does not have to be in range when entered but must be when used

Q9. In an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) data relating primarily to automatic flight is provided by:

Flight Management Computers, Flight Control Computers, Air Data Computers

Air Data Computer, Inertial Reference Systems, Autothrottle

Flight Control Computers, Flight Management Computers, Autothrottle

Flight Control Computers, Inertial Reference Systems, Autothrottle

Flight Control Computers, Flight Management Computers, Autothrottle

Q10. Which component of the B737-400 Electronic Flight Instrument System generates the visual displays on the EADI and EHSI?

Flight Management Computer

Symbol Generator

Flight Control Computer

Navigation database

Symbol Generator

Q11. In it’s simplest form, RNAV may consist of

At least 3 DME sets and an associated navigation computer

At least one VOR and 2 DME sets

ADF and VOR receivers with an associated navigation computer

A VOR/DME receiver with an associated navigation computer

Q12. Which of the following is one of the functions of the Course-Line-Computer in a basic Area Navigation (RNAV) system?

It checks the ground station accuracy using a built-in test programme

It transfers the information given by a VOR/DME station into tracking and distance indications to any chosen Phantom Station/waypoint

It calculates cross track information for NDB approaches

It automatically selects the two strongest transmitters for the Area-Nav-Mode and continues working by memory in case one of the two necessary station goes off the air
