Study Notes
Characteristics of VASIS
- Closes automatically when ceiling is below 500 feet.
- Typically located on the left side of the runway.
- May involve a comparison with a 25-foot reference (specific context requires clarification).
Calculation of Fuel Burn for XC
- Total fuel burn calculated as 6686 units (specificity may depend on context).
Information of FMS
- The average wind condition when flying to the alternate airport indicates a tailwind of 3 knots.
Distance Measurement Principle of DME
- DME functions by sending and receiving pulses to calculate distance.
- Key operations include the transmission and reception of signals.
Upper Air Analysis Chart
- The 850 hPa pressure level corresponds to an altitude of 1340 meters.
