Graded A+
What is the purpose of the VOR (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range) system during
instrument navigation?
✔✔The VOR system helps pilots determine their position and navigate along a specific course.
How does DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) assist in navigation?
✔✔DME provides the distance between the aircraft and a specific VOR or DME station, helping
pilots gauge their location.
What is the function of an Instrument Landing System (ILS)?
✔✔ILS guides aircraft to the runway using both lateral and vertical guidance, enabling safe
landings in low visibility.
Why is situational awareness essential during instrument flight?
✔✔Situational awareness helps pilots stay oriented, anticipate navigational changes, and respond
to unexpected events.
1
,What is the main difference between precision and non-precision approaches?
✔✔Precision approaches provide both horizontal and vertical guidance, while non-precision
approaches provide only horizontal guidance.
What is the importance of setting the correct altimeter prior to flight?
✔✔Setting the altimeter correctly ensures altitude readings are accurate, which is critical for
maintaining safe separation from terrain and other aircraft.
How do pilots use an approach plate during instrument flight?
✔✔Approach plates provide critical information on altitude, headings, and procedures to follow
for a safe approach to landing.
Why is it important to stay within the parameters of a holding pattern?
✔✔Remaining within a holding pattern keeps the aircraft in a designated area, avoiding conflict
with other air traffic.
What action should a pilot take if the communication frequency becomes too congested?
✔✔A pilot should be patient and wait for an opening, or try an alternate frequency if available.
2
, How can turbulence affect instrument navigation, and how should a pilot respond?
✔✔Turbulence can cause altitude and heading fluctuations, so a pilot should prioritize
maintaining attitude control and scanning instruments.
What does "identifying the station" mean in relation to VOR navigation?
✔✔It means verifying the VOR signal by listening to the Morse code identifier of the station.
What is the purpose of the "clearance void time" given in a clearance?
✔✔A clearance void time is the deadline by which a pilot must depart; if missed, the clearance is
no longer valid.
What is an acceptable response if a pilot cannot meet the altitude requirement for a climb during
an instrument departure?
✔✔The pilot should inform air traffic control immediately and request alternate instructions.
What key information does an ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) broadcast
provide?
