Types of navigation methods
What is dead reckoning, visual, and electronic (+RADAR)
These are global lines, converging at the poles, and are all great circles
What are Meridians
In order to get from one time zone to another, you need to travel this many degrees East or West
What is 15o
The E6B (not the plane) aka "Whiz Wheel" should NOT be
What is kept in the sun and written on with anything other than pencil
A barometric altimeter uses "this" pressure as reference
What is Mean Sea Level (MSL)
Dead Reckoning requires these:
What is PTSD:
-Position
-Time
-Speed
-Direction
This route is the shortest distance between two points, and when drawn on a global scale, intersects the center of the Earth
What is great circle route
A knot is the relationship of nautical miles per hour. A nautical mile is 2000 yards, or this
What is 1 minute of latitude
(60 nautical miles = 1 degree of latitude)
The outer and inner wheels of the E6B represent "____" and "___" respectively
What is distance and time
In order to obtain True Altitude, a pilot must correct for "this" with the Calibrated Altitude
Density
The Remote Gyro Vertical Compass Card, Bearing Distance Heading Indicator (BDHI), and Electronic Heading Situation Indicator have different names, but all give you:
What is your heading
A Lambert Conforming Chart (a conic projection), has these characteristics for Parallels, Meridians, Scale, and Great Circles
Meridians- Straight lines converging at the poles
Scale- Constant Distance
Great Circles- Plotted as a straight line
An aircraft would have to fly at this speed if it traveled 875 nautical miles in 3.5 hours
What is 250 kts
On the outer wheel, the three represented indexes are these
What is 60 minutes, 3600 seconds, or 1 hour (gallon)
The different types of airspeeds are these
ICE-TG
Indicated-read directly from airspeed indicator
Calibrated-IAS corrected for instrument error
Equivalent-speed at sea level that would produce the same dynamic pressure as the aircraft's true airspeed and altitude
True-CAS corrected for density
Ground-actual airspeed relative to the ground. TAS corrected for tail/headwind
These pieces of equipment receive their information from the ground
What is:
-VOR
-VOR/DME
-VORTAC
-TACAM
The ONC is a "this" scale Lambert conformal chart and the TPC is a "this" scale Lambert conformal chart.
ONC - 1:1,000,000
TPC - 1:500,000
An EA-18G Growler departs NAS Whidbey Island (where the ZD is -8) at 0900 local time for NAS Oceana (ZD is -5). The local time in Oceana at take of is?
What is 1200LMT
The rule of 6 states this
1/10th of the aircraft’s ground speed is the distance it will travel in six minutes.
(Ex: at 300kts an aircraft will travel 30nm in 6 minutes)
Pressure Altitude (PA) is this
What is the measurement of atmospheric pressure from the "Standard Datum Plane" 29.92"Hg
(Remember LAGS)
If your True Course is 000o with a variation of 5o W, your magnetic course would be
What is 355o
(Remember: East is Least, West is Best)
Name the differences between Course, Heading, and Track
Course - intended path of aircraft over ground
Heading - where the nose of the aircraft is pointed
Track - actual path of aircraft over the ground
Time Travel? Hardly, but switching time zones in these locations tends to feel quicker. Because it is!
The time required formula is this
Speed/Rate index = Distance/time
The formula for Mach number is this
Mach Number (M) = TAS/LSOS
LSOS - Local Speed of Sound
