IFR Navigation Flashcards
When converting from magnetic course to true course, a pilot should
add easterly variation regardless of heading.
When converting from true heading to true course, a pilot should
remove any wind correction angle.
When diverting to an alternate airport because of an emergency, pilots should
apply rule-of-thumb computations, estimates, and other appropriate shortcuts to divert to the
new course as soon as possible.
Which statement is true about magnetic deviation of a compass?
Deviation varies for different headings of the same aircraft.
Which instrument provides the most pertinent information (primary) for pitch control in
straight-and•levelflight?
Altimeter.
What instrument(s) is {are) supporting bank instrument(s) when entering a constant airspeed
climb from straight-and-level flight?Altitude and turn coordinator
Which instrument are considered primary and supporting for bank, respectively, when establishing a level standard rate turn
Attitude and turn coordinator
When an airplane is in an unusual flight attitude and the attitude indicator has exceeded its
limits, which instruments should be relied upon to determine pitch attitude before recovery?
Airspeed indicator and altimeter.
recovery steps from a spiraling, nose-low, increasing airspeed unusual flight attidue?
Reduce power, correct bank attitude, and raise nose to a level attitude.
An aircraft Is flying at a constant power setting and constant indicated altitude. if the outside air
temperature (OATI increases, true airspeed will
increase and true altitude will increase.
As density altitude increases, which wm occur if a constant indicated airspeed is maintained in a
no-wind condition?
True air speed increases; ground speed increases
What are the standard temperature and pressure values for mean sea level?
59°F and 1013.2 mb.
A particular VORTAC station is undergoing routine maintefli:lnce. This Is evidence by
removal of the identification feature.
The three individual navigation services provided by a VORTAC facility are
VHF VOR azimuth,
UHF TACAN azimuth, and
UHF TACAN distance information.
Flight through a restricted are should not be accomplished unless the pilot has
Received prior authorization from the controlling agency
A warning area is airspace of defined dominations established
from three NM miles outward from the coast of the U.S.
A military operations area (MOA) is airspace of definad vertical and lateral limits established for
the purpose of
separating certain military training activities from lFR traffic
Local Airport Advisory service is usually available at all airport
Where a flight service station is located on the airport
If a military training route has flights operating at or below 1,500 feet AGL, it will be
designated by
IR or VA and a four digit number.
When landing at an airport that does not have a tower, FSS, Of UNICOM, you should broadcast
your intentions on
122.9MHz.
NOTAMs for navigational facilities are reported in
NOTAM (0).
When information is disseminated about a taxiway closure, it will be located in
NOTAM (D) distribution
IF an aircraft has a transponder, encoding altimeter, and DME, the proper equipment suffix to be
entered on a flight plan is
A
How much time do you have to close a VFR flight plan before search and rescue procedures
are initiated?
One-half hour after your ETA.
