Q

What is drift

A

The angle from the HDG/TAS vector to the TR/GS vector. Easy way to think if port or starboard drift is to think what way aircraft would drift if heading was track. Whichever way the aircraft would drift is the drift direction.

Q

Definition of pressure altitude

A

QNE. A surface of constant pressure related to a specific datum 1013.2 hPa measured in hundreds of feet (FL150 is 15000 ft. Commonly referred to as flight levels, and used over 15000 ft.

Q

QNH

Study These Flashcards
A

Mean sea level pressure. When set, altimeter reads altitude.
All aircraft 13000 ft and below use altitude
Set QNH on descent at 15000

23
Q

QFE

Study These Flashcards
A

Pressure of a selected datum. When set altimeter reads height above datum (eg airfield$

24
QNE
ISA sea level pressure. When set altimeter reads flight levels. Used > 15000 ft. Set QNE on ascent at 13000 Also called pressure altitude
25
When flying from an area of high pressure to low pressure the altimeter will
Over read High low high 30ft/hPa
26
When flying from an area of low pressure to high pressure the altimeter will
Under read Low high low 30ft/hPa
27
NOSE
North odd + 500 - 270M to 89M South even + 500 - 90M to 269M IFR don't add 500

Time zone for Greenwich and NZ
Greenwich Zulu | NZ Mike

UTC + 13 | D = bakers dozen
31
Sunrise and sunset
When first/last part of sun visible
32
Daylight
Morning twilight + sunlight + evening twilight
33
Morning Civil Twilight (MCT)
When the centre of the sun is 6* below the sensible horizon
34
Evening Civil Twilight (ECT)
When the centre of the sun is 6* below the sensible horizon
35
What features affect daylight
Altitude - may be in sunlight at altitude but lose it when descending Atmospheric conditions - clouds and rain Obstructions - mountains Take these into account when planning a flight terminating neat ECT
36
Daylight zones found
AIP vol 4 gen 2.7
37

41
What colour is used for instrument aerodromes
Purple
42
What colour is used for visual aerodromes
Blue
43
Are bearings on aerodrome charts magnetic or true
Magnetic
44
Make sure know legends on VPC VNC and Aerodrome charts
.
45
What is EET
Estimated elapsed time
46
Define track error
The angle between the required track and the TMG
47
When marking a DR position on a chart use what symbol
Triangle with dot and time
48
What is a dead reckoning position (DR)
Places you anticipate you will be at a certain time based on track made good and ground speed
49
How to mark visual fix on chart
Circle with dot and time
50
What is set heading time (s/h)
When you settle on heading for first leg of flight
51
What is the angular difference between flight planned track and flight planned heading
Flight planned drift
52
What is the angular difference between heading and track made good
Actual drift
53
What is the angular difference between flight planned track and track made good
Track error
54
Formula for 1 in 60 rule
60/distance gone x distance off = track error Should not be used if angle > 15 degrees
55
GPS should use which geodetic system
WGS84
56
