Question 7

How is the bearing from the station calculated for an NDB?

Accepted Answer

Add or subtract 180° from the bearing to the station.

Answer

Add 90° to the bearing to the station.

Answer

Subtract 90° from the bearing to the station.

Answer

Multiply the bearing to the station by 2.

Question 8

What is the first step in determining a line of position using a VOR?

Accepted Answer

Turn the OBS until the CDI is centered and the TO/FROM flag indicates FROM.

Answer

Draw an arc corresponding to the DME distance.

Answer

Plot the true bearing on the map.

Answer

Calculate the magnetic variation.

Question 9

How is a line of position created using a DME?

Accepted Answer

Draw an arc corresponding to the DME distance indicated.

Answer

Use the OBS to center the CDI.

Answer

Draw a straight line from the station.

Answer

Calculate the bearing to the station.

Question 10

What is the golden rule for intercepting tracks?

Accepted Answer

Draw a diagram.

Answer

Use the OBS to center the CDI.

Answer

Calculate the intercept angle.

Answer

Use a flight computer.

Question 11

What is the formula for calculating the bearing to the station (BTS) for an NDB?

Accepted Answer

BTS = MH + RB

Answer

BTS = MH ÷ RB

Answer

BTS = MH - RB

Answer

BTS = MH x RB

Question 12

How do you determine the heading required to intercept a radial using a VOR?

Accepted Answer

Add or subtract the intercept angle from the direction of the required radial.

Answer

Subtract the radial from the intercept angle.

Answer

Use the OBS to center the CDI.

Answer

Multiply the intercept angle by the radial.

Question 13

What inputs are required to use performance charts or tables?

Accepted Answer

Pressure altitude and outside air temperature

Answer

Aircraft weight and speed

Answer

Runway length and elevation

Answer

Wind speed and direction

Question 14

How do landing distances change with headwinds and tailwinds?

Accepted Answer

Decrease by 10% for every 9 knots of headwind; increase by 10% for every 2 knots of tailwind.

Answer

Increase by 10% for every 9 knots of headwind; decrease by 10% for every 2 knots of tailwind.

Answer

Increase by 5% for every 9 knots of headwind; decrease by 5% for every 2 knots of tailwind.

Answer

Decrease by 5% for every 9 knots of headwind; increase by 5% for every 2 knots of tailwind.

Question 15

How is landing performance estimated for temperatures and altitudes not directly provided in the table?

Accepted Answer

Answer

By using a flight computer.

Answer

By using the average of provided values.

Answer

By calculating the difference between the highest and lowest values.

Question 16

What is the process for calculating headwind and crosswind components?

Accepted Answer

Use the wind strength and the angle between the wind direction and runway direction.

Answer

Use the pressure altitude and outside air temperature.

Answer

Use the runway elevation and wind strength.

Answer

Use the aircraft speed and wind direction.
