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

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?
...
