Gleim Navigation Practice Exam 5
What is the magnetic heading for a flight from Priest River Airport (area 1) to Shoshone County Airport (area 3)? The wind is from 030° at 12 knots and the true airspeed is 95 knots.
121°
An aircraft departs an airport in the eastern daylight time zone at 0945 EDT for a 2-hour flight to an airport located in the central daylight time zone. The landing should be at what coordinated universal time?
1545Z
An aircraft departs an airport in the mountain standard time zone at 1515 MST for a 2-hour 30-minute flight to an airport located in the Pacific standard time zone. What is the estimated time of arrival at the destination airport?
1645 PST.
Estimate the time en route from Majors Airport (area 1) to Winnsboro Airport (area 2). The wind is from 340° at 12 knots and the true airspeed is 136 knots. Magnetic variation is 5° east.
17 minutes 30 seconds.
On what course should the VOR receiver (OBS) be set to navigate direct from Hampton Varnville Airport (area 1) to Savannah VORTAC (area 3)?
195°
Determine the magnetic course from Cooperstown Airport (area 2) to Jamestown Airport (area 4).
210°
Determine the magnetic heading for a flight from Allendale County Airport (area 1) to Claxton-Evans County Airport (area 2). The wind is from 090° at 16 knots and the true airspeed is 90 knots. Magnetic variation is 7°W.
210°
Determine the estimated time en route for a flight from Priest River Airport (area 1) to Shoshone County Airport (area 3). The wind is from 030 at 12 knots and the true airspeed is 95 knots. Add 2 minutes for climb-out.
31 minutes.
Determine the magnetic heading for a flight from St. Maries Airport (area 4) to Priest River Airport (area 1). The wind is from 340° at 10 knots and the true airspeed is 90 knots.
330°
When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used?
Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing.
In flying the rectangular course, when should the aircraft bank vary from a steep bank to a medium bank?
Corner 3.
In flying the rectangular course, when would the aircraft be turned less than 90°?
Corners 1 and 4.
What procedure could a pilot use to navigate under VFR from one point to another when ground references are not visible?
Dead reckoning.
If more than one cruising altitude is intended, which should be entered in item 15, "Level," of the flight plan?
Initial cruising altitude.
What is a consideration when using a hand-held GPS for VFR navigation?
Position accuracy may degrade without notification.
(Refer to illustration 8.) The VOR receiver has the indications shown. What is the aircraft's position relative to the station?
South
Select the four flight fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft.
Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.
How should a VFR flight plan be closed at the completion of the flight at a controlled airport?
The pilot must close the flight plan with the nearest FSS or other FAA facility upon landing.
What information should be entered in item 19, "Endurance," for a VFR day flight?
The total amount of usable fuel onboard expressed in hours and minutes.
The line from point C to point B of the wind triangle represents
groundspeed and true course.
When executing an emergency approach to land in a single-engine airplane, it is important to maintain a constant glide speed because variations in glide speed will
nullify all attempts at accuracy in judgment of gliding distance and landing spot.
What should be expected when making a downwind landing? The likelihood of
overshooting the intended landing spot and a faster groundspeed at touchdown.
The Global Positioning System is
satellite based
VFR approaches to land at night should be accomplished
the same as during daytime.
The line from point A to point B of the wind triangle represents
true heading and airspeed.
The line from point C to point A of the wind triangle represents
wind direction and velocity.
