Question 1

What component of the ILS provides lateral guidance to the runway centerline?

Accepted Answer

Localizer transmitter

Answer

The localizer transmitter provides lateral (left/right) guidance aligned with the extended runway centerline.

Question 2

DME slant range distance differs from actual ground distance most significantly when an aircraft is:

Accepted Answer

At high altitude and close to the DME station

Answer

Slant range error is greatest when the aircraft is at high altitude close to the station because the slant angle is steepest.

Question 3

A VOR service volume classification of 'High' (H) provides reliable reception up to what altitude and distance?

Accepted Answer

14,500 ft to 130 NM and 18,000 ft to 100 NM

Answer

A High VOR is usable from 14,500 ft AGL to 130 NM and from 18,000 to 45,000 ft at 100 NM.

Question 4

What is the standard ILS glide slope angle for instrument approach procedures in the United States?

Accepted Answer

3.0 degrees

Answer

The standard ILS glide slope angle is 3.0 degrees, providing a safe and stable descent path to the runway.

Question 5

During a radar approach, if the controller loses radar contact, the controller must:

Accepted Answer

Issue missed approach instructions and advise pilot of loss of radar contact

Answer

When radar contact is lost during a radar approach, the controller must issue missed approach instructions and inform the pilot that radar contact has been lost.
