If an AHRS does not have a physical gyroscope, it could have what sort of alternative to provide pitch and roll information?
micro electro-mechanical switches
a rotor
a gimbal
a magnenometer
A Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) works by;
radar tracking of aircraft movements and issuing of alerts if a conflict is likely to occur
transponders in aircraft being interrogated by TCAS equipped aircraft
TCAS equipped aircraft being monitored by transponder equipped aircraft
transponders in mode C or S providing data to a secondary radar installation
Modern day Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS) use
mapping data along with inputs from GNSS and inertial reference units to predict an aircraft's flight path
satellite tracking fed to a control room, which advises the nearest Air Traffic Services unit of any impending collision with terrain
satellite tracking fed to a control room, which advises the aircraft directly of any impending collision with terrain
a forward looking radar altimeter which looks for rate of descent and compares this to a reference airfield
If a one axis autopilot system is fitted to a light aircraft, the most likely axis it would control is
yaw
pitch
roll
When using the autopilot on an aircraft, it is advisable to...
ensure it is engaged for take off and landing
ensure it is off for take off
ensure it is engaged for landing
ensure it is engaged prior to run ups
A Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) may contain an audible alert to assist a pilot in avoiding a confliction with other aircraft. Such advice is known as a...
resolution advisory
conflict information
avoidance resolution
information assistance
Usually forming part of an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS), especially in light aircraft, what device senses the direction of the earth's magnetic field?
Magnetron
Flux capacitor
Magnetometer
Variometer
Global Navigation Satellite Systems use what method of determining a receiver's position?
Trilateration
Triangulation
Transfixation
Terralocation
A GNSS satellite transmits two signals. One of these is a...
pseudorandom code which identifies the satellite
random code which allows for proper identification of the signal by the receiver
pseduocycled code which is used to determine satellite position
pseudorandomised code which allows for satellite position to be encoded within it
An accurate 3D position fix from a GNSS system requires at least how many satellites?
5
2
3
4
What is "ephemeris error"?
Satellite clock error
Position error of a satellite
Where a satellite signal reflects off buildings and terrain
Where the ionosphere affects the satellite signal

WGS84
WMD48
EGM2008
PZ2008
RAIM stands for...
Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
Received Actual Integration and Monitoring
Response Acquired Integration Measuring
Ryan And Isaac are aMazing
Relative Acquired Integrity Measuring
RAIM...
is an internal test of a GNSS receiver unit
is an internal algorithm which compares the diagnostic information of the satellites whose signal it can receive
requires that the receiver be able to see at least 5 satellites
is not used on the GPS system due to the number of satellites available
Where can you obtain a RAIM prediction report?
Select all options that apply
From the IFIS website
From the IFIS app
From Christchurch Information and Delivery
From CAA
RNP stands for...
Required Navigation Performance
Route for Navigation Provider
Required Navigation Provider
Route for Navigation Provided
An approach into Queenstown is published as "RNP 0.15".
This means that...
you must become visual on the approach at 0.15 nautical miles prior to the runway threshold
you must become visual on the approach at 150 metres prior to the runway threshold
the aircraft must be able to maintain its position to within a radius of 0.15 nm of the published route
the aircraft must be able to maintain its position to within a radius of 150 metres of the published route
In order to fly an RNP approach, what must have an aircraft have?
Select all options that apply
A GNSS system and back up system
Performance monitoring of the approach by the onboard equipment
A system to alert the pilots in the event that the aircraft does not maintain the RNP value
