Answer 11

True

Question 12

Which is not a ICAO PANS-OPS LOC standard service volume?

D. 25 NM within 10 degrees of centerline

Answer 12

B. 38 NM within 5 degrees of centerline

Question 13

What is the ICAO abbreviation for localizer facility on instrument approaches?

Answer 13

LLZ

Question 14

ICAO PANS-OPS criteria require localizer final approach track alignment within how many degrees of runway centerline?

Answer 14

5 Degrees

Question 15

A localizer offset more than ____ degrees from runway centerline is
considered a __________

Answer 15

3, Localizer Type Directional Aid (LDA)

Question 16

Unless local directives or local FLIP procedures are in place, what should be used to determine which instrument chart procedural criteria aircrew should use?

Answer 16

Geographic Location of the Aircraft

Question 17

If flying outside the NAS, which procedures should be used?

Answer 17

ICAO

True or False. A current copy of appropriate instrument procedure charts must be in the aircraft for departure, destination, and alternates. If necessary, charts may be out of date by only one cycle.

Answer 18

False

Question 19

When using printed approach charts, what should you refer to to ensure the publication is up to date?

Answer 19

Terminal Change Notice

Question 20

All instrument procedures are based off of:

Answer 20

Ground track

Question 21

Answer 21

Bottom left margin below ammendment and revision date

Question 22

What can pilots assume when no criteria is published on the IAP plate?

Answer 22

US TERPS criteria is applied

Question 23

True or False. For a fly over waypoint, turn anticipation is allowed

Answer 26

Aircrew can never accept this

Question 27

Equipment wise, what is required to be coupled to the RNP system?

Answer 27

Answer 28

True

Question 29

How many degrees of bank must the AP and FD be capable of commanding above 400' AGL to fly RNP?

Answer 29

25 degrees

Question 30

What is the maximum deviation of an RNP leg during RNP 1 operations?

Answer 30

0.5 NM (Half the navigation accuracy associated with the procedure)
