FAA Flight Operations Test 1

Question 1

(Refer to Figure 20.) What is your approximate position on low altitude airway Victor 1, southwest of Norfolk (area 1), if the VOR receiver indicates you are on the 340° radial of Elizabeth City VOR (area 3)?

Accepted Answer

18 nautical miles from Norfolk VORTAC.

Answer

To determine the position, first locate the Elizabeth City VOR (area 3) and the Norfolk VORTAC (area 1) on Figure 20. Then, trace the 340° radial extending from the Elizabeth City VOR. Identify where this radial intersects with low altitude airway Victor 1 southwest of Norfolk. By measuring the distance along Victor 1 from the Norfolk VORTAC to this intersection point, you will find it is approximately 18 nautical miles.

Question 2

(Refer to Figure 20, area 3; and Figure 28.) The VOR is tuned to Elizabeth City VOR, and the aircraft is positioned over Shawboro. Which VOR indication is correct?

Accepted Answer

9.

Answer

First, locate Shawboro and the Elizabeth City VOR on Figure 20. Draw a line from the VOR to Shawboro to determine the radial the aircraft is on. Shawboro lies on the 080° radial of the Elizabeth City VOR. Therefore, if the aircraft is positioned over Shawboro, a VOR receiver tuned to Elizabeth City VOR would show a centered CDI with the OBS set to 080° and a 'FROM' indication, corresponding to option 9.

Question 3

(Refer to Figure 21.) What course should be selected on the omnibearing selector (OBS) to make a direct flight from Mercer County Regional Airport (area 3) to the Minot VORTAC (area 1) with a TO indication?

Accepted Answer

A. 359°.

Answer

To determine the correct course, draw a straight line on Figure 21 connecting Mercer County Regional Airport (area 3) to the Minot VORTAC (area 1). Then, measure the magnetic bearing from Mercer County to Minot using a plotter or by estimating the radial. This bearing will be approximately 359°. Setting the OBS to 359° with a 'TO' indication will provide direct guidance to the Minot VORTAC.
