M Additional Flashcards
(27 cards)
Off track by 30 degrees for 5 mins, parallel for X Time then intercept at 15 degrees
10 miles
Hobart to Christchurch, TAS (with working) 404 find GS then ETI
29 mins
Mackay to George Town, pass Townsville you fix pos at time and radial, asking ETA for George Town
18:36
How to get max range from radar
Pulse repetition frequency
A straight track on a lambert chart is
On GC
How does a radio altimeter work
Frequency modulation, phase, but not Doppler
ILS loc indication fluctuates due to
An approaching aircraft ahead
How does HF get to long range
Single and multi skywaves
Function of the annunciator for the flux valve
To indicate that the compass cards and flux valve are synchronised
Difference between ivsi and conventional vsi
IVSI has accelerometer that indicates climb/descent much faster
Function of the loop antenna of the ADF
Sense the null position
The direct reading compass dip, if any, occurs
None when at the magnetic equator (more at higher latitudes)
Attenuation in weather radar is caused by
Radio waves refracted by clouds
Benefit of using single side bad
Eliminates the high power AM carrier wave
Integrity of GPS means
It will provide timely warnings
Sydney to Perth with altimeter subscale left set on Sydney, altimeter will
Over read
Longreach to Richmond at 0920 on the 327 radial from long bearing 044 from window NDB hdg 325 TAS 240 departed at 0900, what’s the W/V
160/40
What is true about tilt error on a compass?
Tilt is zero at the magnetic equator
Longreach to mount Isa PSD to tsv
115nm mt isa
What does the air data computer do
ADC sends electrical pulses to the asi, alt, vsi
Which instruments are prone to error?
Machmeter, asi, altimeter, vsi
The amount of transport precession is dependent on
Aircraft latitude, provided there is also a change in longitude
What type of wave does MF predominantly use
Ground wave (that’s it)
A horizontal gyro at the North Pole experiences
Max drift, no topple
