Q

When in the WX+T mode, what is the airborne weather radar able to detect?

24
Q

A modern Airborne Weather Radar (AWR) uses a flat plate antenna with a BLANK beam.

25
The information available on an air traffic controller's screen about an aircraft may include (1)____ from the SSR.
Ground speed
26
Which of the following types of interrogations will a mode S transponder reply to?
SSR and TCAS
27
Which of the following can be displayed or integrated into a modern ATC radar display? 1. Remote weather radar 2. Terrain 3. TCAS 4. SSR replies 5. Aircraft identification number
Terrain SSR replies A/c ident
28
ABAS uses redundant BLANK measurements to support Fault Detection (FD) or Fault Detection and Exclusion (FDE).

29
In an Aircraft-Based Augmentation System (ABAS), the method of integrity monitoring that only uses information from the GNSS is called..
RAIM
30
Maximum coverage of a Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) station is…
20 NM
31
In the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), what is the User Equivalent Range Error (UERE)? It is a computed value for:
Residual errors
32
An aircraft flying out of sight of land, using GNSS and ABAS (without SBAS), briefly loses power to the IRS. The navigation information of the IRS is lost due to the temporary power loss. What effect could this failure have on how GNSS is used during the flight?
ABAS to RAIM
33
User Equivalent Range Error (UERE) or User Range Accuracy (URA) is a signal-in-space error consisting of several individual errors. The most significant of these errors is:
Ionospheric propagation delay
34
Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) provides data which defines the Final Approach Segment (FAS). The data is transmitted on…
VHF
35
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is a method used to ensure the integrity of navigational data. With GNSS, this is achieved by checking the BLANK of the range measurements from a group of at least BLANK satellites.
Consistency - 5 satellites
36
Using SBAS, up to BLANK geostationary satellites are used to improve accuracy to within 1 m to 2 m horizontally and to advise of any GNSS malfunction.

37
A flight is planned to Longyear Airport in Svalbard (lat. 78°15'N), Due to the high latitude the aircraft GPS will NOT be able to achieve RAIM during the arrival phase of flight, as not enough satellites will be in view. If the aircraft is suitably equipped, AAIM could be used for integrity monitoring by incorporating what two things?
IRS and barometric altimeter
38
A performance-monitoring and alerting function is required for BLANK 1 only.
RNP
39
Which of these A-RNP does not incorporates the navigation specifications: 1) RNAV 1 2) RNAV 5 3) RNAV APCH 4) RNP 1 / RNP 2 5) RNP APCH
RNAV APCH
40
RNAV 2 can be used when?
Continental / arrival / departure
41
How is the vertical information for an LNAV/VNAV approach provided?
SBAS or baro-VNAV
42
In Performance Based Navigation (PBN), with respect to navigation error components, the Total System Error (TSE) is a measure of BLANK
Navigation accuracy
43
Which term refers to the difference between the aircraft's estimated position and actual position in the context of PBN?
Navigation system error
44
Considering PBN procedures, which of the following RNP/RNAV specifications allows the pilot to manually define waypoints not already in the FMS database?
RNAV 5
45
What type of turn is excluded in RNP tracks?
Fly over
46
The Performance Based Navigation (PBN) concept uses terms to describe the requirements of each navigation specification. Which of the following terms defines the capability of the system to perform its function without unscheduled interruptions during the intended operation?
Continuity
47
Some approaches are labelled RNP APCH. These approaches are based on GNSS and can be recognised on the charts by what?
LNAV minima published
48
3D approach operations are very common nowadays. Which of the following options belongs to this type of approach? 1. RNP APCH (GNSS and baro VNAV) 2. GLS 3. RNP APCH (LNAV minima) 4. RNP 1 5. ILS 6. RNP APCH (SBAS)
