Your aircraft is heading 255° and headed toward the localizer course. d. Both a and c are correct. C 3.2.2.2.1.3 12. [A] Using information provided in figure 5 to complete a course intercept, which of the following is/are true? a. A lead-point must be calculated to complete the intercept. b. This intercept heading will take the aircraft toward the NAVAID. c. The aircraft is on a 45o intercept to the desired course. d. All of the above. D 5.4.1.4.1 5.4.2 5.4.2.3.2 13. [A] Using figure 7, in which direction and to what heading should you turn to intercept the 180° radial inbound in a no-wind situation? a. Right turn to a heading of 260°. b. Left turn to a heading of 300°. c. Right turn to a heading of 300°. d. Left turn to a heading between 270° and 330°. C 5.4.2.3 14. [A] Using the cockpit indications shown in figure 8, you want to intercept the 300° magnetic course outbound from the selected NAVAID. You should: a. maintain your present heading. b. turn right to a heading greater than 300°. c. turn 90° to the left to place the bearing pointer on the 45° index marker. d. insufficient information is given. A 5.4.7.2 15. [A] VOR and VOR/ DME station passage occurs: a. when the TO-FROM indicator makes the first positive change to FROM. b. with the first positive FROM indication for VOR and when range stops decreasing for VOR/ DME. c. when the bearing pointer passes 90° to the inbound course. d. all of the above. A 5.5.1 16. [A] Which statement is correct concerning station passage? a. With VOR and VOR/DME, station passage occurs when the TO-FROM indicator makes the first positive change to FROM. b. With TACAN, station passage is determined when the range indicator stops decreasing. c. When established in the VOR or TACAN holding patterns, station passage is determined when the bearing pointer first moves through the wingtip position. d. Both a and b are correct. D 5.5 17.
