Study Notes
PIREP Interpretation
- Ceiling height indicated by PIREP (SKY OVC 006) is at 600 feet.
- Aircraft position based on PIREP (YHZ VOR095055) is on the 095 radial at a distance of 55 nautical miles.
Flight Dynamics
- When en route with tailwind, the critical point shifts closer to the departure airport.
Navigation Systems
- WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) includes a specific option identified by the word "BARO."
- MLAT (Multilateration) relies on transponder signals to determine aircraft positions.
- Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) does not include collision avoidance as a correct application.
Altitude Considerations
- Indicated altitude is lower than actual altitude when temperature is above standard levels, particularly in warmer regions or areas with higher pressure.
