A radial is a magnetic bearing ______ the station.
from
Proceeding direct to a station involves a wind correction.
True
What is the name of the angle between the intercept heading and the desired course?
Intercept angle
You want to intercept the 360° course outbound. Which of the following is a good intercept heading?
045°
You plan to intercept the 180° inbound course. After you TIM the station, set 180° in the course select window, and check for a “TO” indication, what is the next step in the procedure?
Turn right toward the CDI and place the head of the course arrow in the top half of the case.
You want to intercept the 360° course inbound. You have tuned and identified the station, and have set the desired course in the EHSI. What would be a good heading you could fly to intercept the course?
315°
You are planning to intercept the 090° radial inbound. Which of the following is a valid intercept heading?
180°
To perform a fix-to-fix you require DME.
True
You are cleared to proceed direct to the 360° radial, 20 DME fix. What is a good initial heading?
315°
You have been cleared from your present position direct to the 360° radial, 50 DME fix. Which of the following is the best initial heading?
035°
You are cleared direct from your present position to the 260° radial, 15 DME fix. Select the best initial heading.
305°
You are proceeding direct from your present position to the 270° radial, 20 DME fix. Approximately how far are you from the fix?
60 NM
You are proceeding to the 270° radial, 20 DME fix. You estimate the distance to the fix to be approximately 60 NM and have a GPS ground speed of 150 knots. About how long will it take you to get there?
24 minutes
You are inbound on the 180° radial and have a groundspeed of 240 knots. You plan to intercept the 20 NM arc and arc West. At what DME will you begin your turn? Use NM/Min - 2 technique.
22
While arcing, a common method to remain on the arc is to fly a series of short legs.
True
How many radials per NM are there if you are flying on the 15 DME arc?
4
You are arcing on the 20 NM arc, and will intercept the 360° course outbound. Your groundspeed is 180 knots. Using the NM/Min - 2 technique and using the nearest whole degree, you should begin your turn when the head of the bearing pointer passes ______.
183°
You are on the 10 NM arc and will intercept the 090° course outbound. Your groundspeed is 240 knots. You can use a ______ NM leadpoint, which is about ______ radials at this DME.
2.0; 12
You are flying on the 20 DME arc, and notice your DME indicates 19. You should turn to place the bearing pointer ______.
10° below the 90° index
The first step in any radio instrument procedure is always ______.
tune, identify, and monitor the station
How far apart are radials at 15 nautical miles from the station?
0.25 NM
In instruments, a ______ is the intended direction of flight to or from a NAVAID
course
Both radials and courses are measured in ______.
degrees
