Dispatcher Distance Learning Course-Week 4


This is View Only - You must be an enrolled student with AGS to take this exam!!!





1. Pitot static instruments include:
airspeed and altimeter.
airspeed, vertical speed, and compass.
airspeed, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, and RMI.


2. The TO-FROM indicator on a VOR:
will flip 180 degrees when passing over the VOR station.
will show OFF when you are not on the selected radial.
will show FROM when on the northside of the station and TO when on the southside of the station.


3. A standard rate turn is 3 degrees/second. How long to fly a holding pattern with 1 minute legs?
4 minutes.
That would depend on the True Airspeed.
It would depend of the angle of bank.


4. The pressure of air entering the pitot tube by forward motion, is read in the cockpit as:
altitude and vertical speed.
airspeed.
pressure altitude.


5. The attitude indicator is:
the lubber line.
an artificial horizon.
needle, ball and airspeed.


6. "IAS" is airpseed corrected for:
installation error only.
compressibility only.
nothing.


7. The horizontal situation is a VOR combined with a:
heading indicator.
heading indicator, and airspeed indicator.
heading indicator, airspeed indicator, and DME.


8. CAS is indicated airspeed corrected for positioning and mechanical errors.
True
False


9. DME is available from a:
VOR.
VORTAC.
NDB.


10. A waypoint is:
an intermediate stop on your flight plan.
an artificial VOR you insert in your RNAV equipment enabling you to fly direct.
an intersection where you are directed to "hold" by ATC.


11. An ADF is:
a transmitter on the ground.
a low frequency radio nav aid in the aircraft which can receive AM radio broardcasts.
an automatic distance finder.


12. The RMI needle always indicates:
the course to a VOR station with the head of the needle.
the course or radial from the station with the tail of the needle.
Both are correct.


13. A VOT is:
A VOR Test Facility.
A test signal based on a max error (if on the ground) of + - 4 degrees.
Both are correct.


14. High altitude VORs:
can be received up to 45000' and 130 NM from the station.
are usually found on selected mountain peaks for best reception.
with restrictions to service volume are published as PIREPs when first discovered.


15. When the glide slope of an ILS fails:
the ILS reverts to a nonprecision localizer approach.
the aircraft must divert to an alternate airport.
adjustments to ILS minimums are not required in IMC conditions if you are inside the FAF.


16. The Global Positioning System (GPS):
is a US satellite-based radio navigational, positioning, and time transfer system operated by DOD.
is based on constellation of 24 satellites of which 5 are always in sight from anywhere on the earth.
Both are correct.


17. RAIM capability assures the pilot of acceptable GPS reception and accuracy.
True
False


18. GPS operation in the aircraft must be approved by:
either the FAA approved Aircraft Flight Manual or the Flight Manual Supplement.
the Department of Defense (DOD).
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).


19. Regarding GPS, air carriers may use it only:
in terminal operations.
if approved in the Ops Specs.
enroute; not during instrument approaches.


20. Setting 29.92" in the Kollsman window of the altimeter will give you:
pressure altitude.
true altitude.
indicated altitude.
