Intro to Radio Instruments
________ are used to determine your position relative to a ground transmitter
Radio Instruments
Where your aircraft is pointed
heading
an imaginary line extending outward from a NAVAID
radial
radials are _____ bearings referenced in degrees
magnetic
in radio instruments, the desired track to or from a navigation aid
course
T or F an outbound course intercept is the same as a radial intercept
T
For inbound intercepts, you will need to take the reciprocal of the radial to get it right.
T
Befor using radio instruments, you must…
Tune, Identify, Monitor
Use the ____, to tune the VOR
RMU
Identify the NAVAID by its…
Morse code identifier
The simplest way to go from station to station is to place the bearing pointer at the top of the EHSI, which is called
Homing
A method better than homing, in which you fly a wind corrected heading, is called
proceeding direct
If you are flying in any direction other than directly to or directly away from a station, ther bearing pointer will…
move on the EHSI compass card
In a no wind situation the following two situations are always true…
the head of the bearing pointer will fall, the tail of the bearing pointer will rise
The TO/FROM indicator is dependent only on the…
course selected and not the aircraft heading
CDI
course deviation indicator
The CDI shows the aircraft position relative to the
course selected
Each dot on the face of the EHSI indicators is
5 degrees of displacement
since both the bearing pointer and the CDI provide course information, the displays are consistent when within…
10 degrees of the selected course
When using GPS, the CDI indicates ___ NM off course with full scale deflection
5
The act of using your instrument displays to select and fly to a course
course intercept
intercepting a course that will take you to the selected station
inbound intercept
intercepting a course that will take you away from the selected station
outbound intercept
the heading you choose to fly to accomplish a couse intercept
intercept heading
the angle between your intercept heading and your desired course
intercept angle
For inbound intercepts, roll out of the turn when the bearing pointer is between the
upper lubber line and the head of the course arrow to establish and intercept heading
For outbound intercepts, roll out of the turn on an
intercept heading with a suitable angle of intercept
OUTBOUND 45 intercept
use a 45 intercept angle to your desired course (TDC +45)
OUTBOUND Double the angle method
double the difference between the tail of the bearing pointer and the new course to determine an intercept angle
INBOUND Double the angle method
double the difference between the tail of the bearing pointer and the new course to determine an intercept angle
INBOUND Course to bearing pointer +30 (Charlie Brown +30)
turn to a heading 30 degrees beyond the bearing pointer position ( not to exceed 90 degrees intercept angle)
A simple way to determine a good intercept heading is TDC +45
from tail of bearing to desired course + 45
As a technique outside of __ NM, and using an intercept angle of __ degrees or less, apply about __ degrees of lead prior to turn
15, 30, 2
As a technique inside __ NM and using an intercept angle of __ degrees or less, apply about __ degrees of lead prior to turn
15, 30, 4
______ navigation is used to fly from fix to another fix using a direct track.
Fix-to-Fix
___ and ___ are required for fix-to-fix navigation
DME, bearing pointer
Your present position is always along the ___ of the bearing pointer.
tail
How do you determine the time required to to proceed to the new fix?
estimate the distance between the two fixes using the distance from the center to ther outer edge of the EHSI as the scale
To fly direct to a fix using the GPS, you will
Tune, Turn, Visualize, then enter the desired fix into the GPS and proceed direct
____ is defined as flying a constant distance from a VORTAC or VOR/DME station by reference to DME
Arcing
To determine your lead point, in nautical miles, use..
1% of your groundspeed
A commonly used method to maintain arcs, is…
flying a series of short legs
If outbound, maitane heading until the bearing pointer is 5-10 degrees____ the reference point
below
If inbound, maintain heading until the bearing pointer is 5-10 degrees ____ the reference point
above
LEAD POINT IN RADIALS =
1% of groundspeed x (60/ arc DME)
If you are inside the arc (DME too low), displace the bearing pointer 5 degrees _____ the reference point
below
If you are outside the arc (DME too high), displace the bearing pointer 10 degrees ____ the reference point.
