What the resources cover

This page sits in the Navigation and Meteorology strand of Aviation. It follows the radio side of navigation, from how radio waves behave to the systems pilots use in flight. The quiz called Radio Navigation opens with wavelength, frequency and emission characteristics. Other quizzes move on to VOR checks, DME principles, ILS frequencies and NAVSTAR satellites.

Where to start

Begin with theory. The mind map Properties of Radio Waves and Radio Theory and the quiz Radio Navigation give you the vocabulary. Then work through the ground-based aids one at a time:

VOR: try the mind map VHF Omni direction Range (VOR) and the flashcards 5. VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR).
DME: use the flashcards 11. DME and then the DME Quiz.
Direction finding: read the mind map Automatic Direction Finding by NDB, which covers range and the BFO selector.
Landing and approach: the flashcards 6. Instrument Landing System.

Satellite and surveillance topics

Once the radio aids feel familiar, move to satellite systems. The NAVSTAR Questions quiz asks about space segments and the L1 and L2 signals. The notes on the Satellite Based Augmentation System explain its segments and error corrections. For surveillance, the Radar mind map and the flashcards 10. SSR are good places to look.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first to see how a system fits together. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note which questions you missed. Go back to the map or flashcards for those points only. Several quizzes use exam-style questions, such as 3 NAVIG. EXAM. PREP., which includes VOR indication diagrams. Teachers can pick a quiz or map for a class and use it as it is.

Choose one system, take its quiz, and see what you still need to work on.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Radio Navigation quiz. It covers wavelength, frequency, emission characteristics and ICAO Annex 10 frequency bands, which the later topics build on. After that, pick a system such as VOR or DME and take its quiz.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps cover radio theory, VOR, DME, direction finding with NDB, radar, LORAN and Omega. There are also maps on GNSS material, including an attachment on guidance for applying the GNSS SARPS. A few mind maps are a good way to preview a topic before a quiz.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it helps to check them against your own course material.

Who are these resources for?

They suit university students and professional candidates studying radio navigation, plus teachers looking for ready-made quizzes and flashcards. Most of the material is at professional level, with a small share aimed at university study.

Which quizzes work well for practicing VOR?

Try Jeppesen Chapter 2C, which asks about operational checks on aircraft VOR equipment under IFR. The Radio Nav quiz covers CDI indications and VOR status, and 3 NAVIG. EXAM. PREP. uses VOR receiver diagrams to find the aircraft's position.

What if I can't find what I need?

Use the flashcards and mind maps on neighboring systems, since many topics overlap. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes for any gap you find.
