Last Three Hundred Flashcards
(52 cards)
Radio waves in the VHF and higher frequency bands propagate mainly as…
Space waves
In which frequency band may fading occur during the twilight period?
Medium
In what, is phase modulation used, in which the phase of the carrier wave is reversed?
GPS
MLS can minimise multi path errors because the transmission can be BLANK to avoid reflection by stationary objects.
Interupted
ADFs can receive and take bearings on any broadcasting station transmitting within the frequency band 190 – XXXX kHz.
1750
What is the reason that a DME-station can generally respond to a maximum of 100 aircraft?
Limited pulse pairs
failure of the VOR station to stay within the required limits can cause the removal of BLANK and BLANK components from the carrier or radiation to cease.
Identification and navigation
What type of number comes after the decimal on a TVOR?
Even
What type of modulation is seen on a doppler VOR?
Frequency
ADF bearings by an aeroplane by day within the published protection range should be accurate to within a maximum error of:
5’
What is the standard coverage area of an ILS Glide Path?
10nm 8’
What is the correct frequency band, propagation path and frequency range for an NDB?
LF and MF
What is the height of ILS CAT 2?
50ft
On a back-beam ILS approach with the inbound course set on a HSI, the needle is showing half scale deflection to the right. The aircraft is to the BLANK of track.
Right
What are the holding pattern entry sectors which are permissible when following a DME arc entry track?
Parallel + direct
What uses a UHF DME Frequency is paired with the VHF co-located VOR frequency?
TACAN
What type of radar principles does an AWR use?
Primary.
What information may be displayed on an ATC radar screen connected only to a primary radar system?
Position
Can primary radar show aircraft identification?
No
BLANK allows the identification of a primary radar target by its code and call sign.
Secondary surveillance radar
Increasing the gain on rotary switch number 3 increases the..
Sensitivity
When an aircraft is operating its Secondary Surveillance Radar in Mode C an air traffic controller’s presentation gives information regarding the aircraft’s indicated pressure altitude in increments of:
100ft
When in the WX+T mode, what is the airborne weather radar able to detect?
Turbulence
A modern Airborne Weather Radar (AWR) uses a flat plate antenna with a BLANK beam.
