Question 1

Used for flights intending to operate within a controlled airspace

Answer 1

Flight Plan

Question 2

This activates search and rescue services if the aircraft does not land after its endurance runs out.

Answer 2

Flight Plan

Question 3

Frequency for voice communication

Answer 3

118-137 mHz

Question 4

Frequency for NAVAIDs

Answer 4

108.000 - 117.950 mHz

Question 5

Frequency for ILS and terminal VORs

Answer 5

108.000 - 112 mHz

Question 6

Frequency for low and high VORs

Answer 6

112.000 - 117.950 mHz

Question 7

Frequency for emergency

Answer 7

121.50 mHz

Question 8

This is a radio transmitter in the cockpit that works with a ground radar. It receives a signal from a ground radar, it returns a squawk code with the aircraft’s position, its altitude and its call sign

Answer 8

Transponder

Question 9

This is an electronic system which measures the range and bearing of objects by transmitting an electromagnetic pulse at the object and listening for the echo

Answer 9

Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging)

Question 10

This enables aircraft to pass additional information, such as identification and flight level, back to the interrogating radar

Answer 10

Secondary Surveillance Radar

Question 11

They are small, battery-powered devices that broadcast a distinct sound, either activated by impact or manually, on a dedicated emergency frequency

Answer 11

Emergency Locator Transmitter

Question 12

What is the frequency that newer models broadcast on for ELTs?

Answer 12

406 mHz

Question 13

What are the three situations for NORDO?

Answer 13

• No receive and transmit
• No receive but you can transmit
• You can receive but you can’t transmit

Question 14

State the NORDO procedure

Answer 14

• Troubleshoot
• Squawk 7600
• Rock your wings beside the control tower
• Turn landing lights on and off
• Follow the light fun signals (if available)
• Observe traffic pattern for other aircraft before joining the circuit
• Enter the traffic pattern at a 45 degrees on the downwind leg

Question 15

A licensed base station that provides air-to-ground and ground-to-air communication and may also serve as a CTAF when in operation. This frequency may provide airport information such as the current wind direction and velocity, possibly altimeter setting, the favoured runway in use, and any reported traffic in the pattern or area

Answer 15

UNICOM

Question 16

This is a frequency allocation without a physical base station that is reserved as a CTAF for airports without other facilities

Answer 16

MULTICOM
