Commercial Gleim 10
To track inbound on the 215 radial of a VOR station, the recommended procedure is to set the OBS to
035° and make heading corrections toward the CDI needle.
Which illustration indicates that the airplane should be turned 150° left to intercept the 360 radial at a 60° angle inbound?
1
When checking the course sensitivity of a VOR receiver, how many degrees should the OBS be rotated to move the CDI from the center to the last dot on either side?
10 to 12
To track outbound on the 180 radial of a VOR station, the recommended procedure is to set the OBS to
180° and make heading corrections toward the CDI needle.
An aircraft 60 miles from a VOR station has a CDI indication of one-fifth deflection, this represents a course centerline deviation of approximately
2 miles.
Which illustration indicates that the airplane is crossing the 030 radial?
3
Which illustration indicates you will comply with ATC instructions if the current heading is maintained and ATC instructs you to intercept the 360° radial north of the station?
3
When using VOT to make a VOR receiver check, the CDI should be centered and the OBS should indicate that the aircraft is on the
360 radial
Which HSI indicates you will comply with ATC instructions if the current heading is maintained and ATC instructs you to intercept the 240° radial southwest of the station?
4
(figure 17) Which illustration indicates that the airplane will intercept the 060 radial at a 75° angle outbound, if the present heading is maintained?
5
Which illustration indicates that the airplane will intercept the 060 radial at a 60° angle inbound, if the present heading is maintained?
6
For IFR operations off established airways, ROUTE OF FLIGHT portion of an IFR flight plan should list VOR navigational aids which are no more than
80 miles apart.
Why should pilots understand how to cancel entries made on a GPS?
Because heavy workloads and turbulence can increase data entry errors.
What procedure could a pilot use to navigate under VFR from one point to another when ground references are not visible?
Dead reckoning.
Which situation would result in reverse sensing of a VOR receiver?
Flying a heading that is reciprocal to the bearing selected on the OBS.
Which button/feature provides information on the closest airport at any given time?
Nearest.
What is a consideration when using a hand-held GPS for VFR navigation?
Position accuracy may degrade without notification.
How should the pilot make a VOR receiver check when the aircraft is located on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface?
Set the OBS on the designated radial. The CDI must center within plus or minus 4° of that radial with a FROM indication.
Why does the FAA maintain a VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON)?
To support navigation of non-DME/DME equipped RNAV aircraft in the event of GPS outage.
Reliance on GPS units
can cause pilots to lose proficiency in performing manual calculations of time, distance, and heading.
Which statement is true regarding illustration 2, if the present heading is maintained? The aircraft will
cross the 180 radial at a 45° angle outbound.
Which is true regarding illustration 4, if the present heading is maintained? The airplane will
cross the 180 radial at a 75° angle.
Effective navigation by means of GPS includes
determining the current status of all databases.
(Refer to illustration 1.) If the aircraft turns to the heading indicated by the heading marker, it will
intercept the 180° radial after station passage.
(Refer to illustration 2.) If the aircraft turns to the heading indicated by the heading marker, it will
not intercept the 360° radial.
When navigating using only VOR/DME based RNAV, selection of a VOR NAVAID that does not have DME service will
result in loss of RNAV capability.
The primary purpose of the direct-to button is to
show the quickest way to fly to any given point.
When the CDI needle is centered during an airborne VOR check, the omnibearing selector and the TO/FROM indicator should read
within 6° of the selected radial.
