An aircraft is flying on a heading of 075 and a track of 082. The aircraft is travelling 80kts. What is the drift?
7 degrees of left drift
7 degrees of right drift
5 degrees of right drift
5 degrees of left drift
Drift is:
The angle between the aircraft heading and the track
When the aircraft is being pushed by wind
The magnetic angle between the heading of the aircraft and the track
None of the above
Drift angle is:
The angle at which the aircraft is being pushed off track
Track minus the relative bearing
None of the this
The angle from the aircraft's heading to the track the aircraft is flying
An aircraft is flying from NZCH to NZTU with a TAS of 122kts and a tailwind component of 23kts. What is the groundspeed?
99kts
155kts
145kts
100kts

5.2nm
52nm
2nm
20nm
After travelling 50nm you realise you are 10nm off track. What is your track error?
(just enter the number)
(a)
If your track error is 3° to the right of track and your closing angle is 7°. What way must you turn and how many degrees to get back on track? (total corrrection)
10° to the left
10° to the right
4° to the left

5° to the right
7.2° to the right
5° to the left

6.5° to the left
You are on the NZCH 13DME arc. Currently on radial 235. If you were to continue on the arc, how many nm do you need to travel to reach the 200 radial?
(just enter the number)
(a)
You are on the 235 radial on the CH 13DME arc. With a G/S of 112 kts, how long will it take you to reach the 205 radial?
12 minutes
3.5 minutes
45 seconds
It is not possible to figure out
At 2130 UTC you are on the 080 radial of the CH VOR. At 2140UTC you are on the 100 radial. Your G/S is 100kts. How far away from the VOR are you?
5nm
50nm
7.2nm
72nm
Total correction is?
Track error - closing angle
Track error + closing angle
The correction needed to fly parallel with your intended track
