1. If a holding pattern was constructed over the Talliputiya<br />
beacon (NDB), with the inbound track being the initial<br />
approach track, and it was a ‘standard’ pattern, which of<br />
the following would apply?<br />
a) Left hand, 2 minutes<br />
b) Left hand, 1 minute<br />
c) Right hand, 2 minutes<br />
d) Right hand, 1 minute<br />
2. From what direction would the Boeing be arriving in<br />
order to go ‘straight in’ to the initial approach and not<br />
require a sector entry?<br />
a) East South East<br />
b) West North West<br />
c) North North West<br />
d) South South East<br />
3. If the 707 was experiencing a 20-knot northerly wind<br />
along the initial approach, what approximate heading<br />
would be flown to maintain the track?<br />
a) 100<br />
b) 090<br />
c) 290<br />
d) 280<br />
4. Still tracking outbound on the initial approach, the<br />
localiser needle begins to move right. Which of the<br />
following is correct?<br />
a) Command sense, fly left to correct<br />
b) Command sense, fly right to correct<br />
c) Non command sense, fly left to correct<br />
d) Non command sense, fly right to correct<br />
5. Still tracking outbound…<br />
If the localiser needle was to move to the position in the<br />
diagram, how many degrees off track is the aircraft?<br />
a) 1 degree off track to the right<br />
b) 4 degrees off track to the right<br />
c) 1 degree off track to the left<br />
d) 4 degrees off track to the left<br />
6. After two minutes outbound the Boeing executes a turn<br />
back inbound to the ‘front’ beam of the localiser. Which<br />
of the following is correct concerning the turn?<br />
a) It is a left-hand procedure turn to 145 degrees initially,<br />
then after the specified time, reversal turn onto 325<br />
degrees for intercept<br />
b) It is a right-hand procedure turn to 145 degrees<br />
initially, then after the specified time, a reversal turn<br />
onto 325 degrees for intercept<br />
c) It is a left-hand procedure turn to 055 degrees initially,<br />
then a reversal turn onto 235 degrees for intercept<br />
d) It is a right-hand base turn to 145 degrees initially, then<br />
a reversal turn onto 325 degrees for intercept<br />
7. If the aircraft were descending at 600fpm on the<br />
glideslope, what approximate groundspeed would<br />
it be doing?<br />
a) 140kt<br />
b) 100kt<br />
c) 120kt<br />
d) 160kt<br />
8. Now established inbound heading 285 and descending,<br />
the localiser needle moves to the position in the<br />
diagram. How many degrees off track is the aircraft?<br />
a) 2 degrees off track to the left<br />
b) ½ a degree off track to the right<br />
c) 2 degrees off track to the right<br />
d) ½ a degree off track to the left<br />
9. The heading is altered to re-intercept the localiser.<br />
Once this is achieved, which of the following headings is<br />
correct to remain on the localiser?<br />
a) 280 since the wind is lighter<br />
b) 275 since the wind is stronger<br />
c) 285 since the wind is steady<br />
d) 290 since the wind is stronger<br />
10. If the heading is now 290, what would the fixed card<br />
radio compass (the ADF) be indicating, if tuned to the<br />
Tallaputiya beacon (the NDB)?<br />
a) 350 R<br />
b) 170 R<br />
c) 010 R<br />
d) 360 R
