ANSWERS { GRADED A+}
Unless otherwise authorized, which situation requires Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) - ✔✔Overflying Class C airspace below 10,000
feet MSL.
With certain exceptions, all aircraft within 30 miles of a Class B primary airport
from the surface upward to 10,000 feet MSL must be equipped with - ✔✔An
operable transponder having either Mode S or 4096-code capability with Mode C
automatic altitude reporting capability, and ADS-B out equipment.
The VOR is turned to Bonham VORTAC (area 3), and the aircraft is positioned
over the town of Sulphur Springs (area 5). Which VOR indication is correct? -
✔✔3.
,Place a plotter on a line from Bonham VORTAC to Sulphur Springs, which
indicates the town is on the 120° radial. With the OBS set to 210° the TO/FROM
indicator would be OFF with the needle deflected to the right while on the 120°
radial, which is represented by VOR Indicator #3. NOTE: the needle should also
show a full-scale deflection for this scenario.
What is a limitation of using a GPS without RAIM capability? - ✔✔The pilot
would not be alerted that the navigation solution had deteriorated and an
undetected navigation error could occur.
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the - ✔✔Magnetic fields within the
aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force.
How far will an aircraft travel in 7.5 minutes with a ground speed of 114 knots? -
✔✔14.25 NM.
If you are using an electronic E6B flight computer, select the distance flown
function. Enter a groundspeed of 114 knots. Next, enter seven and a half minutes
for the time traveled. The answer comes out to 14.25 NM. Alternatively, use the
formula D = GS x T (distance = groundspeed multiplied by time). Divide 7.5 by 60
to convert minutes to hours. Which equals 0.125
, When flying through the lateral and vertical boundaries of Class C or B airspace,
what additional equipment is your aircraft required to have installed, if any? -
✔✔ADS-B Out equipment.
You depart from Wood Co. airport (1G0 - area 5) and head northbound. You level
off at 1,600' MSL under the Toledo Class C airspace to circle your house. The
ADS-B system on your airplane was marked inoperative in the maintenance log. Is
this flight legal? - ✔✔Yes - ADS-B Out is not required for this operation.
The VOR receiver has the indications shown. What radial is the aircraft crossing? -
✔✔030°
The VOR receiver has the OBS set to a course of 210° and the TO/FROM
indicator shows TO. The CDI is centered. The aircraft is crossing the reciprocal of
the 210° radial, or the 030° radial. 210 - 180 = 30.
ADS-B Out equipment is required when flying: - ✔✔In Class E airspace at and
above 3,000' MSL over the Gulf of Mexico from the U.S. coastline out to 12 NM.
At the beginning of a turn from a northerly heading: - ✔✔The compass will show
a turn in the opposite direction.
