US Maximum holding speeds correct answer: • Up to 6,000 ft MSL: 200 KIAS • From 6,001K to 14K ft MSL: 230 KIAS • 14,001 ft MSL and above: 265 KIAS The ICAO Maximum holding speeds correct answer: • Up to 14000 ft: 230kts • 14000 ft to 20000 ft: 240kts • 20000 ft to 34000 ft: 265kts • Above 34000 ft: M0.83 J Routes- Width correct answer: 8NM Q Route- Width correct answer: RNAV- 8NM TERPS correct answer: Terminal Instrument Procedures TERPS criteria specify the minimum measure of obstacle clearance that is considered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to supply a satisfactory level of vertical protection from obstructions and are predicated on normal aircraft operations RNAV correct answer: -Area navigation (RNAV) is a method of instrument flight rules (IFR) navigation that allows an aircraft to choose any course within a network of navigation beacons, rather than navigating directly to and from the beacons Altimeter: QNE, QFE, QNH correct answer: QNE: En-route (MSL) QFE: Height above field elevation (AGL) QNH: Local altimeter setting QNE = EASY, always 29.92 QNH = HARD, as in the ground is very hard... so set your altimeter properly. QFE = simply field elevation VNAV correct answer: -Vertical NAVigation is an autoflight function which directs the vertical movement of an aircraft LNAV correct answer: Lateral navigation (LNAV) refers to navigating over a ground track with guidance from an electronic device which gives the pilot (or autopilot) error indications in the lateral direction only and not in the vertical direction Required navigation performance (RNP) correct answer: type of performance-based navigation (PBN) that allows an aircraft to fly a specific path between two 3D-defined points in space. RNAV and RNP systems are fundamentally similar. The k
