M12.07.02 Avionic Systems - Navigation (ATA 34) Cat A3 V4.3.0

Which system uses radio signals from ground stations to assist aircraft navigation between waypoints?

• Radar Altimeter (Rad Alt)

• Instrument Landing System (ILS)

• Microwave Landing System (MLS)

• VHF Omni-directional Range (VOR)

What does the abbreviation ILS stand for in the context of navigation systems?

• International Landing System

• Instrument Landing System

• Integrated Locator System

• Infrared Landing System

What are the three subsystems of the Instrument Landing System (ILS)?

• The directional, the omnidirectional, and the elevation

• The transponder, the marker beacon, and the glide slope

• The localizer, the glide slope, and the marker beacon

• The radar, the beacon, and the navigation display

Which navigation system provides lateral guidance to the runway centerline?

• Glide slope

• Marker beacon

• Localizer

• VOR system

What is the primary function of a Marker Beacon in the ILS?

• Provides visual and aural indications

• Calculates descent path

• Determines the direction to the station

• Guides the aircraft during takeoff

Which type of chart is commonly used for Visual Flight Rules (VFR)?

• En route chart

• ICAO chart

• Instrument approach chart

• Radar navigation chart

What is the difference between True North and Magnetic North?

• True North is the direction to the geographical north pole, while Magnetic North is the direction to the magnetic north pole.

• True North is measured from the aircraft's heading, while Magnetic North is measured from the aircraft's track.

• True North is used in VFR flights, while Magnetic North is used in IFR flights.

• True North is a fixed reference, while Magnetic North is the track you would need to take in prevailing winds.

What is the purpose of the Automatic Direction Finder (ADF)?

• To calculate the descent path for landing

• To receive and process bearing information from ground stations

• To provide lateral guidance to the runway centerline

• To transmit distress signals in case of emergencies

Which signals does the localizer ground station transmit for lateral guidance?

Select all that apply

• • 90 Hz

• • 150 Hz

• • 50 Hz

• • 180 Hz

• 120 Hz

What is the function of the glide slope ground station?

• Provides lateral guidance

• Measures slant distance

• Guides the aircraft on a descent path

• Measures vertical distance to the ground
