  1. 1285 An a/c departs from Kerkyra (LGKR) at 12:00 UTC to fly to Paros (LGPA) which is 290 NM away, with TAS 150kts. Desired track is 118(°T) and initial heading is 110(°T). At 12:20 UTC the a/c's position is fixed 10NM left of track over Arta which is 55NM away from departure. W/V and immediate alteration at 12:00 to destination is requested.
    1. AO 325/25 11 starboard or [R]
    2. BO 046/16 2 starboard or [R]
    3. CO 235/15 11 port or [L]
    4. DO 353/25 13 starboard or [R]
  2. 2286 Why should we consider GPS as a back-up method of navigation?
    1. AO All of them are true.
    2. BO An error code for military use is being randomly transmitted.
    3. CO An electric power supply failure can occur at any time.
    4. DO We must not rely only on high-end technologies, but mainly on human instinct.
  3. 3287 Rhumb line is defined………………?
    1. AO as the line on the earth cutting all meridians at the same angle
    2. BO as the line on the earth cutting all parallels of latitudes at the same angle
    3. CO as the course we follow based on magnetic compass
    4. DO as the line connecting small circles on the earth's surface
  4. 4288 Variation (var), is……..?
    1. AO the angular difference between true and magnetic bearings in any place and defines as EAST and WEST
    2. BO the angular difference between horizontal and vertical coefficient of the magnetic field of the earth and defines as NORTH and SOUTH
    3. CO the lines on the chart, connecting two points on the earth with equal magnetic dip
    4. DO the lines on the chart, connecting two points on the earth with equal true dip
  5. 5289 Mercatorial Projection, in aviation charts, can be used…
    1. AO for all of these cases
    2. BO for navigation purpose
    3. CO for the depiction on aeronautical charts up 75° parallel (N), (S) from the equator
    4. DO for the depiction of local areas around the equator
  6. 6290 The disadvantages of Mercatorial Projection are…………..
    1. AO (i) and (iii) are true
    2. BO (i) that scale is increasing disproportionately with latitude and distance measurement is difficult
    3. CO (ii) projection is conformal
    4. DO (iii)poles projection is impossible
  7. 7291 Magnetic heading, is………..?
    1. AO the true track, corrected for wind drift and variation
    2. BO the true track, corrected for drift
    3. CO compass heading, corrected for wind drift
    4. DO true heading corrected for wind and deviation
  8. 8292 In a Mercatorial chart, orthodromes "Rhumb lines" are straight lines and "Great Circles" are curved lines?
    1. AO False
    2. BO True
  9. 9293 Why is it necessary to know the altitude of the Tropopause?
    1. AO all of them are correct
    2. BO because great changes of wind and temperature may exist
    3. CO because high winds (known as Jet Streams) may be encountered
    4. DO because due to temperature and wind change, clear air turbulence may be encountered
  10. 10294 Flying on northern hemisphere on heading east and decelerate. The compass will indicate……….?
    1. AO a false turn to South
    2. BO a false turn to North
    3. CO a steady turn
    4. DO no influence at all
