ATPL Navaids 4

What is the basic principle of PBN?

• Personal Based Navigation.

• Performance Based Navigation.

  Only the accuracy of the navigation aid matters.

• Aircraft must use at least one radio navaid as well as GPS and Inertial referencing

• It doesn't matter what Nav systems you use as long as they meet the required performance standards

What is ANP/EPE?

• Actual navigation performance. The area the FMS calculates the aircraft to be in.

• Authorisation Needed Prior. A specialist route that requires specific training and authorisation.

• The aircrafts exact position.

• The range of the current radio navaid.

what is the difference between RNP and RNAV?

• One ends in P and ones ends in AV.

• RNP requires onboard performance monitoring

• RNP is the new name for RNAV routes

• RNAV requires on board performance monitoring.

What is the purpose of GBAS?

• To improve VOR accuracy.

• To Improve GPS accuracy over a small area.

• To improve GPS accuracy over a large area.

• To replace GPS

What is SLOP?

• Strong lateral outline procedure

• Strategic Longitudinal Offset Procedure.

• system layout off procedures

• Strategic lateral offset procedure.

What is CPDLC used for?

• To give ATC control of the aircraft in case of emergency.

• To allow Pilots and ATC to communicate efficiently when out of VHF voice range

• To allow passenger to text and call while the aircraft.

• To track aircraft accurately all around the world.

What is ADS-B?

• Automated design system- Blue

• Automatic diverting system- B

• Automatic dependent surveillance-Broadcast

• Automated Data system- Broadcast

How Does MLAT find the position of aircraft?

• It uses a system of ground spotter with binoculars.

• It uses radar and ADS-B

• A system of satellites triangulate aircraft positions.

• It uses Ground stations which then triangulate aircraft positions.

BRNAV is equivalent to?

• RNAV 2

• RNP AR

• RNP5

• RNP 10
