Welcome to your Private Pilot - Chapter 10 Name Email How many Global Positioning System satellites are required to yield a three dimensional position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) and time solution? 5 6 4 If receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) capability is lost in flight... The pilot may still rely on GPS derived altitude for vertical information. The pilot has no assurance of the accuracy of the GPS position GPS position is reliable provided at least 3 GPS satellites are available A VORTAC station is represented by A single dot inside a square. A single dot inside a hexagon. A single dot inside a hexagon with tabs on three of the sides. How many satellites make up the Global Positioning System (GPS)? 25 22 24 When the course deviation indicator (CDI) needle is centered using a VOR test signal (VOT), the omnibearing selector (OBS) and the TO/FROM indicator should read 180° FROM, only if the pilot is due north of the VOT. 0° TO or 180° FROM, regardless of the pilot's position from the VOT. 0° FROM or 180° TO, regardless of the pilot's position from the VOT. A GPS with an expired database may be used under no circumstances. only on the ground for taxi. under VFR flight for situational awareness. What symbol would indicate a VORTAC location on an airport? A hexagon with a dot in the middle. A runway configuration with a dot. A circle with a dot in the center. Can a GPS be used as an altimeter? No, there can be too many errors in the vertical height computations of the GPS to rely on it as an altimeter. Yes, but only if a barometric altimeter is available as a backup. Yes The VOR is tuned to the Ranger VORTAC. The omnibearing selector (OBS) is set on 256°, with a TO indication, and a left course deviation indicator (CDI) deflection. What is the aircraft's position from the VORTAC? Refer to Figure 25, area 5. East-Northeast. East-Southeast. West-Northwest. The navigation facility at Dallas-Ft. Worth International (DFW) is a VOR. VOR/DME. VORTAC. Time is Up! Time's upTime is Up! 0 Private Pilot – Chapter 11 Private Pilot – Chapter 8
