|
Define great circle |
The largest possible circle that can be drawn around a sphere. In relation to earth this will be around the equator. Fastest point from a to b |
|
|
Define rhumb line |
A line which cuts the earths meridians at an equal angle (constant course) |
|
|
What is 1degree of longitude at the equator in NM |
60nm |
|

How are sensitive areas represented on falconview what are the limits to consider |
Yellow circles (overlay must be on) 1NM 1000FT |
|
|
Explain what following figure means (blue number) |
Max elevation figure. Thousands and hundreds of feet above msl. Based on highest known feature including terrain and obstructions |
|
|
Can you fly through a danger area? What are your consids? |
Yeah just consider the hazard. No administering authority so no requirement to control access |
|
|
Nav specs for rnav |

|
Will flight plan automatically terminate at uncontrolled aerodrome |
No. Contact controlling agency via rt or phone |
|
|
Will flight plan terminate at controlled aerodrome |
Yes |
|
|
What is Lambert conformal + properties |
"cone-formal" - a cone of top of the globe around the equator Great circles are straight Better from polar mapping Scale considered constant Conformal between parallels Airways charts are example of this |
|
|
Rate of climb equation |
Reqd rate of climb (ft/min) = Gradient % x GS x 1.013 Feet/NM = VSI x 60 / GS |
|
|
Metar says wind 240/15 Cloud bkn 3000 Magnetic or true wind? Agl or amsl cloud? |
True wind Agl cloud |
|
|
Wind 220T. Variation 24E Mag wind? |
Variation east. Magnetic least 196mag |
|
|
Define isogonal |
Connecting points on Earth's surface where magnetic declination is equal |
|
|
What is earth convergence and what effect does it have on a rhumb line |
Meridians are only parallel at the equator and converge toward the poles, known as earths convergence. Due to convergence. Rhumb lines generally flown max 1000nm |
|
|
Measure distance on chart without ruler |
10nm thumb 1:500,000 scale |
|
|
WGS84 |
World geodetic system 1984 Standard for use in cartography, geodesy, satellite nav, including gps |
|
|
Map where angles are constantly represented? Why used? |
Orphiomorphic map. Easy to use |
|
|
What happens to an altimeter flying from high pressure to low pressure |
Flying high to low, look out below Altimeter will display higher altitude than desired |
|
|
How many seconds in angular degree? |

|
|
How to measure distance on different scale maps |
1 degree of latitude is always 60nm |
|
|
Standard closing angle uses |
Used when no suitable feature visible on track to fly to. SCA is based on 1:60 rule 1 min on sca will remove 1nm error from track |
|
