FAA

Basic components of ILS

NO ANSWER JUST A TITLE

Nondirectional Beacon (NDB)

Nonprecision approach less accurate than a VOR approach adversely affected by lighting and precipiation static provides a nondirectional signal that pilot uses to fly a course to that airport

Obstacle Departure Procedures

ODP are printed either textually or graphically to assist pilots in obstruction avoidance, and may be flown by the pilot without an ATC clearance, unless an alternate SID or radar vector has been assigned

Nondirectional radio beacons are adversely affected by lightning and precipitation static.

T

T OR F 5500 indicates the minimum altitude a pilot may fly

T

T OR F A Localizer approach is less accurate than an ILS approach because NO electronic altitude guidance is provided.

T

T OR F Consider an aircraft overdue when neither radio nor radar can be established and 30 minutes has passed since ETA

T

T or F A solid triangle is a mandatory reporting point

T

T or F A specific STAR may serve several different airports

T

T or F Marker beacons are depicted in the Planview section of an Instrument Approach Chart

T

T or F Pilots may squawk 7600 for a radio failure

T

T or F The purpose of the marker beacon is to identify a particular location

Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP)

a series of predetermined maneuvers for the orderly transfer of an aircraft under instrument flight conditions from the beginning of the initial approach to a landing or to a point from which a landing may be made visually

minimum required information

aircraft indenfiication and type nature of emergnecy pilot desires

Height of obstructions depicted on Instrument Approach Procedure Charts are

always MSL

An Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) is designed to provide

an IFR descent to a point where a safe landing can be made

To accept a clearance for the DANDD 1 arrival to Denver, the pilot must be in possession of the __________________ for that STAR.

approved chart

Instrument Departure Procedures

are preplanned IFR procedures that provide obstruction clearance and facilitate transition from the terminal area to the en route structure

Instrument Departure Procedure Routes have been established at certain airports to

facilitate transition between takeoff and en route operations

T OR F Low level fuel is always a distress condition

false

You may change frequnecy if only there

is a vaild reason

RCC

is run by the military

Decision Height

is the height at which a decision must be made to either continue the approach or execute a missed approach.

When the glideslope component of an ILS is inoperative

it is classified as a Localizer approach.

A Localizer approach differs from an ILS approach because

no electronic altitude guidance is provided.

VOR/Distance measuring equipment (DME)

nonprecision approach more accurate than the vor approach because of the range guidance provided by the DME usually allows for lower minimum altitudes using step down fixes along the final approach course

Very High Frequency Omidrect-ional Range (VOR)

not precision very common approach the vor itself need not to be located at the airport provides a course to be intercepted and tracked which leads to the airport

The purpose of a STAR is to

expedite atc arrival procdeures

Pilot responsibility for accpeting star

...

The STAR is not designed to ________.

...

Which statement is true regarding a SID? Which statement is true regarding a SID?

...
