ILS false glideslope strongest at:

Max beacon spacing for airway with ±5 NM half-width, VOR error 5°:

When flying over the sea and using an inland NDB to fix position with a series of position lines, the plotted position in relation to the aircraft's actual position will be:

DME accuracy standard (en-route) is:

ILS CAT IIIB minima:

GPS L1 frequency:

Frequency band and scan rate of Airfield Surface Movement radars:

Class 'B' VHF DF bearings are accurate to within:

The BFO facility on ADF equipment should be used as follows when an NDB having N0NA1A type emission is to be used:

The main advantage of continuous wave (CW) radars is:

An aircraft is intending to track from NDB 'A' to NDB 'B' on a track of 050°(T), heading 060°(T). If the RBI shows the relative bearing of 'A' to be 180° and the relative bearing of 'B' to be 330° then the aircraft is:

ILS receivers showing predominant 90 Hz on both localizer and glide slope; runway QDM 264°. Aircraft is:

Two NDBs — 20 NM from coast vs 50 NM inland. Greatest coastal refraction error?

Positions input to FMC using maximum 5 alphanumerics:

4D RNAV adds to 3D capability:

DME transponder offset:

The upper and lower limits of an ILS glide path transmitter having a 3.5° glide slope are:

SSR transponder receives on ___, replies on ___:

Radial resolution improved by:

ILS outer marker: tone and light:

An aircraft on a heading of 235°(M) shows an RMI reading of 090° with respect to an NDB. Any quadrantal error which is affecting the accuracy of this bearing is likely to be:

VORTAC provides:

When a DME is operating in the TRACKING phase, it interrogates at approximately:

Aircraft on radial 270°, heading 090° inbound to VOR, OBS set to 090°. TO/FROM indicator shows:

The principal propagation path employed in an NDB/ADF system is:

Most significant ADF error:

ILS CAT IIIC minima:

Middle marker approximately:

DME frequency band:

GPS time accuracy (SPS, 95%):

PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision) — best geometry:

The frequency band containing the frequency corresponding to 29.1 cm is:

A category II ILS installation in the UK:

A radio wave is:

VORTAC differs from VOR/DME in that:

ILS glidepath accuracy requirement:

The range promulgated in the AIP and flight guides for all NDBs in the UK is the range:

ELS (Elementary Surveillance) provides:

RAIM — what does it detect?

The phenomenon of coastal refraction which affects the accuracy of ADF bearings:

The DOC of a VOR is valid:
