RNAV 5

Which statement about RNAV routes is correct?

• RNAV routes are only used in terminal areas in order to make more efficient use of the approach and landing facilities of an airport.

• All waypoints of RNAV routes are called phantom stations.

• In general RNAV routes coincide with standard routes in order to make optimum use of the available VOR/DME stations.

• A method of navigation which permits aircraft operation on any desired flight path.

If you are flying an ILS back-beam approach, you are flying a:

• precision approach on the precision approach runway.

• non-precision approach on the reciprocal runway of the precision approach runway.

• precision approach on the reciprocal runway of the precision approach runway.

• non-precision approach on the precision approach end of the runway.

What approximate rate of descent is required in order to maintain a 3° glide path at a groundspeed of 120 kts?

• 550 ft/min.

• 600 ft/min.

• 800 ft/min.

• 950 ft/min.

SBAS improves the performance (position accuracy) of GNSS/GPS receivers by:

• providing an additional signal coming from the geostationary satellites.

• reducing clock errors.

• providing an additional signal to GPS receivers.

• providing an additional signal coming from the navigation satellites.

Under EASA regulations color code rules for EFIS displays, increasing intensity of precipitation are colored in the order:

• green, amber/yellow, red, magenta.

• green, red, magenta, black.

• black, amber/yellow, magenta, red.

• amber/yellow, magenta, black.

In flight, a pilot can improve the range of his transmission with a VDF operator by:

• increasing altitude.

• speaking louder.

• decreasing altitude.

• flying out of clouds.

Ignoring pulse length and fly-back, a radar facility designed to have a maximum unambiguous range of 50 km will have a PRF of:

• 330 pps

• 6,000 pps

• 167 pps

• 3,000 pps

In aviation electronic systems the so-called Doppler principle may be used in:

• VOR, DME and ILS.

• VOR, GPS and MTS and the turbulence mode of AWR.

• VOR, DME and GPS.

• VOR, MTI and the mapping mode of AWR.

On a modern commercial aircraft, the FMS provides:

• a 3D area navigation and an air/ground data link.

• an air/ground data link.

• traffic alert information

• lateral and vertical navigation and guidance and performance management.

In order to indicate an emergency situation, the aircraft Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) transponder should be set to:

• 7600

• 7500

• 7000

• 7700
