Cards in this deck (27)
- 1What does Navigation consist of?- Planning a flight to a destination;
- Conducting the flight accurately whilst making allowances for wind and weather;
- Avoiding conflict with other traffic and restricted airspace; and,
- Adjusting time and fuel calculations to achieve a safe arrival within time and fuel constraints - 2What is heading?Direction the longitudinal axis is pointing
- 3What is track?Actual path over the ground when flying
- 4What is drift? and what affects it?Angular difference between heading and track
- strength of wind, wind direction and TAS - 5Is this left or right drift?LEFT
- 6Is this left or right drift?RIGHT
- 7LEFT or RIGHT drift?RIGHT

- 8What are Isogonals and an agonic line?Isogonals = lines joining places of equal magnetic variation
Agonic Line = Nil variation - 9Calculate Magnetic North54

- 10Does the earth move anti or clockwise?Anti clockwise
- 11When the sun is directly above it is what time?12pm (noon)
- 12What is UTC/EST/LMTUniversal coordinated time, eastern standard time , Local mean time
WA = UTC + 8
NT/SA = UTC + 9.5
QLD/NSW/VIC/TAS = EST = UTC + 10 - 13what are the reference points for LMTLocal Mean Time (LMT) uses the sun as its reference point and the local meridian of longitude as its earth reference point
- 14What is the correlating time?
- 15—1000LMT
- 16Difference between EST, CST and WSTEaster Standard Time (EST) uses the 150° meridian of longitude and hence EST = 10 hours + UTC (10 hours ahead of UTC)
Central Standard Time (CST) is based on the 142°30’E meridian of longitude and hence CST = 9 hr 30 min + UTC
Western Standard Time (WST) is based on the 120°E meridian of longitude and hence WST = 8 hours + UTC - 17—1600UTC
- 18—0200UTC
- 19—242000UTC
- 20—140900UTC
- 21—232200LMT
- 22—241900LMT
- 23—240900LMT
- 24What are the 4 different types of airspeed?Indicated air speed (IAS) - uncorrected
Calibrated Air Speed (CAS) - corrected for installation and instrument error (different to IAS in different flap settings and airspeeds)
True Airspeed (TAS) - CAS corrected for altitude nonstandard temp
Ground speed (GS) - TAS adjusted for wind - 25What is the mercator projection?a conformal cylindrical map projection where the earth is
imagined as a reduced sphere that fits inside a cylinder and the image is projected onto the cylinder to be laid out flat. - 26—2115UTC
- 27—2310UTC
