    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Very-high frequency omnirange aural (station identification) signals are transmitted?

    • Intervals of 5 micro-seconds

    • Continuously

    • Intervals of 5 seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. Continuously
    Explanation
    Very-high frequency omnirange aural signals are transmitted continuously. This means that the signals are constantly being transmitted without any breaks or interruptions. Unlike the other options, where the signals are transmitted at specific intervals (either 5 microseconds or 5 seconds), the correct answer states that the signals are transmitted continuously, indicating a continuous and uninterrupted transmission of the signals.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The instrument landing system localizer course width at a distance of 10 miles from the transmitter is normally?

    • 5 degrees

    • 15 degrees

    • 35 degrees

    • 60 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 degrees
    Explanation
    The instrument landing system localizer course width at a distance of 10 miles from the transmitter is normally 5 degrees. The localizer course width refers to the width of the signal beam emitted by the instrument landing system. At a distance of 10 miles, the width is typically 5 degrees, indicating the precision and accuracy of the system in guiding aircraft during the landing approach.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which radial will the aircradt be positioned on if the aircraft is located north of the very-high frequency omnirange station?

    • 2.5 degrees

    • 210 degrees

    • 90 degrees

    • 000 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 000 degrees
    Explanation
    If the aircraft is located north of the very-high frequency omnirange station, it will be positioned on the 000 degrees radial. This is because the radial represents a specific direction or bearing from the station, and 000 degrees corresponds to the north direction.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    To get a FROM flag in view on the horizontal situation indicator when the magnetic bearing to the very-high frequency omnirange station is 75 degrees, the selected course should be manually set to?

    • 2.5 degrees

    • 210 degrees

    • 90 degrees

    • 000 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 210 degrees
    Explanation
    To get a FROM flag in view on the horizontal situation indicator when the magnetic bearing to the very-high frequency omnirange station is 75 degrees, the selected course should be manually set to 210 degrees. This is because the FROM flag indicates that the aircraft is flying away from the station, and to achieve this, the selected course should be set 180 degrees opposite to the magnetic bearing of the station. Therefore, setting the course to 210 degrees would ensure that the aircraft is flying away from the station and the FROM flag is displayed.

    When tactical air navigation main reference burst occurs at the minimum amplitude of the 15-Hz variable signal, the azimuth to the station is?

    • 45 degrees

    • 90 degrees

    • 15 degrees

    • 75 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 degrees
    Explanation
    When the main reference burst occurs at the minimum amplitude of the 15-Hz variable signal in tactical air navigation, it indicates that the aircraft is directly facing the station. In this position, the azimuth to the station is 90 degrees.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    If the horizontal situation indicator displays a magnetic heading of 45 degrees and a magnetic bearing of 5 degrees to the tactical air navigation station, then the relative bearing is?

    • 320 degrees

    • 270 degrees

    • 160 degrees

    • 220 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 320 degrees
    Explanation
    The relative bearing is the angle between the aircraft's heading and the direction of the target. In this case, the aircraft's magnetic heading is 45 degrees and the magnetic bearing to the TACAN station is 5 degrees. To find the relative bearing, we subtract the magnetic bearing from the magnetic heading: 45 degrees - 5 degrees = 40 degrees. However, since the relative bearing is always measured clockwise from the aircraft's nose, we subtract the result from 360 degrees: 360 degrees - 40 degrees = 320 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is 320 degrees.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    In the tactical air navigation mode, each dot on the horizontal situation indicator represnts an error from the selected course of

    • 0.5 degrees

    • 5 degrees

    • 2.5 degrees

    • 10 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 degrees
    Explanation
    In the tactical air navigation mode, each dot on the horizontal situation indicator represents an error from the selected course of 5 degrees. This means that if the aircraft deviates from the planned course by one dot on the indicator, it is off track by 5 degrees. The larger the deviation, the further the aircraft is from its intended path. Therefore, a deviation of 5 degrees indicates a significant error in navigation.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    The purpose of the tactical air navigation system is to provide the pilot with accurate?

    • Distance information

    • Distance and bearing information

    • Bearing and aural information

    Correct Answer
    A. Distance, bearing, and aural information
    Explanation
    The purpose of the tactical air navigation system is to provide the pilot with accurate distance, bearing, and aural information. This means that the system is designed to give the pilot precise measurements of the distance between the aircraft and its destination, the direction in which the aircraft should travel, and any relevant audio cues or alerts that the pilot needs to be aware of. This comprehensive information helps the pilot navigate effectively and make informed decisions during the flight.
