Bearing to the station is found by adding heading to relative bearing in an anticlockwise direction.
False
True
What is a caution when deriving distance from a chart?
Distances change over the chart and therefore the distances are always slightly inaccurate
Using the right side of the nav ruler depending on what the chart scale is
Ensuring that everything is in km when making a flight plan
That variation is accounted for when converting nm to sm
Select the true statement
Distance is measured in nm, altitude is measured in feet, visibility is measured in m or km and runways are measured in m.
Distance is measured in sm, altitude is measured in hectopascals, visibility is measured in km and runways are measured in m.
Distance is measured in sm, altitude is measured in feet, visibility is measured in m or km and runways are measured in km.

A prominent geographical feature that can be seen by day or night if lighted
Is your position when you are on time. If you are running late you are overpoint.
True or false
With QNE set and outside air pressure is lower than 1013.2 the altimeter will over-read (you are lower than you actually are)

How do charts indicate relief?
Using different colours for different elevation
Using spot heights to indicate the highest points on mountains
By referencing the height numerically in each quadrant of the chart
By showing variation as a dashed line that goes over the ocean segments only
The 1 in 60 rule states
If you have gone 60nm and you are 1nm off track then your TE is 1°
If you have gone 1nm and you are 0.60nm off track then your TE is 6°
If you have gone 60nm and you are 2nm off track then your TE is 1°
If you have gone 60nm and you are 2nm off track then your TE is 4°
