Study Notes
Aircraft Positioning and Navigation
- Glass cockpit displays utilize RMI to determine aircraft location.
- For a VOR with a heading of 325 and 40 radial with a TO flag, the CDI deflects to the left indicating the aircraft is positioned left of the VOR.
- A right turn is necessary to return to the intended track.
GPS Navigation
- A triangle symbol on GPS indicates the aircraft's position relative to the track.
- When the aircraft is left of the track, a right turn is required to realign with the route.
Icing Conditions
- During a flight from CYVI to CYRT, mixed icing is expected from surface level to 12,000 feet.
- Icing conditions include two layers: one from surface to 4,000 feet and another from 4,000 to 12,000 feet.
Fuel Burn Calculation
- For a VFR flight conducted at night, the fuel burn calculated is 1,825 units, denoting the largest expected value.
PSR Overview
- Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) provides critical information including azimuth and range.
- Avoid selecting options that only mention azimuth to ensure complete understanding.
