If a pilot has coupled the automatic pilot to the directional gyro equipped with a rate correction device set
for astronomical precession, the course followed by the aircraft (in still air conditions) is:
A great circle
One of the properties of a gyro is its rigidity in space. Correction of the astronomical precession means correction of
the effects of the earth rotation, or in other words, apparent wander correction, drift und tilt.
Even older airplanes (like the DC-10) where fitted with automatic wander-correction.
This brings us to the topic of GRID-Navigation. To follow, with respect to the earth surface, a constant free gyro
heading, without consideration to the TN-reference and without wind, means to follow a great-circle track. On a
chart, this would be depicted as a constant GRID track.
A rhumb-line is always referenced to TN, therefore the gyro should also be constantly adjusted for TN, even if we fly
close the pole. This is the task of the navigation computer (i.e. INS) and is used for TN-navigation. This has nothing to
do with astronomical precession, more likely with transport drift.
The gyro in this question is obviously not adjusted for TN. There is also no mention that we fly with a constant
heading!! But we must assume it.
189.
An aircraft leaves point P (60N 030W) on a true heading equal to 090 while the gyro compass, which is
assumed to be operating perfectly and without an hourly rate corrector unit, indicates 000.
The aircraft arrives at point Q (62N 010W) on a true heading equal to 095. On the journey from P to Q the gyro
compass remains in free gyro mode.
If the flight lasted 1 hour 30 minutes, the gyro heading at Q will be:
328
In the whole thinking process, Variation can be completely disregarded. From the beginning, the gyro indicates 90
less than the true heading. We can say that the scale has shifted by 90.
The aircraft flies eastwards, covering 20 longitude in 1.5 hours. During this time, the earth rotates by 22.5 (1.5 x
15), eastwards as well. To simplify understanding, make a sketch of this situation in the form of a Lambert chart. For
a free gyro, it's the same as if he would have been moved 42.5 (20 + 22.5) eastwards on a "non-rotating" earth, i.e.
imagine a point Q' which lies 22.5 east of Q.
Let's suppose that the axis of the gyro at point P was aligned with true north. Now draw-in the gyro axis at point Q'.
If, at point P, the gyro-axis was aligned with true north, then at point Q', the axis must still be parallel to the local
meridian at P. Therefore, the gyro-axis at Q' will be inclined to the right.
The angle between the gyro-axis and the local meridian at Q' is the convergence between P and Q'. CA = diff. long. x
sin(mean-lat), in this case, 42.5 x sin(61) = 37.17. The true heading at Q' is 095, 5 greater than at P. The angle
between the gyro-axis and the aircraft longitudinal axis at Q' equals 57.83 (095-37.17). At P, the angle between
the gyro-axis and the aircraft longitudinal axis was 90. Therefore, the angle decreased by 32.17 (90-57.83). If the
gyro indicated 000 at P, it will now indicate 32.17 less, or 327.83 (360-32.17).
190.
A pilot is using a polar stereographic chart whose grid is parallel to the zero meridians, with Grid North in the
direction of the North geographic pole.
In Polar Regions, the pilot stops navigation in free-gyro mode after leaving the 6 microteslas zone, and the grid
heading controlled by information from the inertial navigation system (INS) is 045. After switching to "magnetic
mode", the compass heading is 220. The INS position at this moment is 76N 180W. The magnetic variation on the
chart is 10E.
The compass shift on this heading at this point in time is:
-5
191.
On the diagram where:
Nt = True North
Nm = Magnetic North
Ng = Grid North
If the magnetic variation is equal to 65W and if the grid variation is equal to 4E, the correct arrangement of the
different north is:
3
192.
You plan to fly from point A (60N 010E) to point B (60N 020E).
The gyro North of the gyro compass, assumed to be operating perfectly, with no rate correction device, is aligned
with the true North of point A.
The constant gyro heading to be followed when starting from A given that the flight time scheduled is 1h30 min with
a zero wind, is equal to:
076
Step 1
Your flight from A to B shows an earth convergence of 8.66 (diff long x sin lat). This leads to a initial TT 85.7 and in
no wind condition to initial TH 085.7
Step 2
Gyro north aligned with true north at E010 is equivalent with a grid and a grid datum E010. At position E010 TH
085.7 equals a gyro heading (GH) 085.7.
Step 3
If your gyro were equipped with an earth rate correction device you could maintain GH 085.7 along the great circle
to B.
Step 4
Without earth correction device your compass drifts during 1h 30min by 19.5 (1.5h x 15/h x sin lat). The heading
decreases even without any aircraft movement. In order to reach point B with constant gyro heading you anticipate
half the drift (9.7). The required GH is calculated as 085.7 minus 9.7 which gives 076. Be aware of the fact that
you will no longer follow a great circle but a curve convex to the pole.
193.
When a course is plotted at minimum time route, one passes from the air isochrone to the corresponding
ground isochrone by applying to point K (original spot) a vector KK' which is equal to:
Mean wind from the preceding ground isochrone
194.
When leaving the MNPS oceanic control area for a domestic controlled area, the pilot has to:

A polar stereographic chart has a grid printed over it which is parallel to the meridian 054W, with Grid
North in the direction of the North geographic pole.
An aircraft is following a true course of 330.
At position 80N 140E, its grid heading (GH) with this system will be:
136
196.
On a polar stereographic chart whose grid is parallel with the Greenwich meridian in the direction of the true
North pole, the "true" orientation of the great circle linking point 62N 010E to point 66N 050W is 305. The grid
route at the starting point of this great circle is:
295
197.
The chart is a South polar stereographic projection of the Antarctic regions. A grid, printed over it, its aligned
with meridian 180, the grid North in the direction of the geographic North (non standard grid).
The grid course followed by the aircraft is Rg=280, the position is 80S 100E.
The true course followed at this moment is:
000
Draw a sketch of the south polar stereographic chart.
This will be some concentric circles with the South Pole in the centre the 0 meridian upwards, 180 meridian
downwards, 90 W meridian to the left, 90E meridian to the right.
Draw the Grid. Grid North is downward.
Mark the position of the aircraft, S80 E 100 Draw the grid course at the position of the aircraft, GC=280 this is
towards right and slightly downward in your sketch. Now you can see that this is exactly outward from the centre of
your chart, in other words exactly to the north.

Mach number
200.
Refer to the picture below:
The inertial navigation system (INS) indicates: Position: 71 55.1'N 09455.3'W, Drift: 6L (left)
The route followed in order to return to the VOR station is the meridian of the VOR station used:
RESOLUTE BAY (7443.6'N 09455.3W), this VOR has North set on the local geographic meridian.
The gyro compass has just been reset to Grid North (chart used: polar stereographic chart, grid parallel to zero
meridian, Grid North in the direction of geographic North Pole).
The correct representation of the RMI VOR/DME is at this moment:
(The distance DME is in the box)
2
201.
The chart type is polar stereographic with the grid parallel to the zero meridian, and Grid North in the
direction of the North geographic pole. The gyro is not fitted with a rate correction device.
The gyro-magnetic compass of an aircraft standing at an aerodrome located at 5957'N 01030'E is switched to free
gyro mode at 14.00 UTC, with gyro North being aligned with Grid North and the gyro heading reading 120. A
technical problem delays take off until 16.30 UTC. The gyro, whose mechanical precession is zero, was not reset prior
to take off.
The error (E) at the time of alignment on this runway will be:
+32.5
202.
On a polar stereographic chart where the earth convergence between 2 points located on the parallel 60N
is 20, the great circle maximum cross-track difference with the straight line joining the 2 points is:
9.2 NM
The given earth convergency is 20 at N60. The formula dlong = earth conv / sin lat shows a dlong of 23.1 between A
and B.
Draw a circle with its centre at the NP and a radius of 1800 NM corresponding to the distance NP to N60; sketch a
angle of +/- 11.55. The secant represents the straight line between A and B. At half way the distance between
secant and circumference is 1800 NM x (1-cos 11.55) = 36.45 NM.
This result can be checked on the chart AT5 between A at N60 W128 30 and B at N60 W151 30
As the given earth convergency is only 20 degrees you now sketch an angle of +/- 10. The above formula gives the
distance between N60 and the great circle: 1800 NM x (1-cos 10) = 27.35NM
Finish the calculations with the following conclusions:
N60 and the straight line differ by 36.45 NM
N60 and the great circle differ by 27.35 NM
The straight line and the great circle differ by only 9.1 NM
203.

weight in an emergency:
Unless it is capable of meeting the climb requirements: 2.7% in approach configuration with 1 engine inoperative
and 3.2% in landing configuration with all engines operative
The question asks for the criteria, when an aircraft has to be equipped with a Fuel Jettison System, and not, what
such a system must be able to do!
The answer is to be found in JAR 25.1001, (a):
"(a) A fuel jettisoning system must be installed on each aeroplane unless it is shown that the aeroplane meets the
climb requirements of JAR 25.119 and 25.121(d) at maximum take-off weight, less the actual or computed weight of
fuel necessary for a 15-minute flight comprised of take-off, go-around, and landing at the airport of departure with

approach, and landing climb performance requirements of this JAR-25."
JAR 25.121 (d) is the Approach Climb Requirement, according to that, a four engine aircraft in approach
configuration with one engine inoperative must at least be able to maintain a climb gradient of 2.7 %. JAR 25.119 is
the Landing Climb Requirement, according to that, in Landing Configuration with all engines operating; an aircraft

511.
For a given aircraft and runway contamination, increased pressure altitude will:
Increases the hydroplaning speed
First of all: How to interpret the question?
The question concerns the "Hydroplaning Speed", is it influenced by the pressure altitude and if yes, in which
direction? What can be the meaning of this? It must be about the speed where dynamic aquaplaning occurs, in other
words the limit speed where the tyre looses contact to the ground because it dynamically gets lifted off the ground
and glides on the water like a water ski. This limit speed is influenced by the following factors:
1) Load on the wheel
2) Water depth
3) Condition of the tyre itself like thread, width, tyre pressure
4) Surface condition of the ground (runway)
So, what's the influence of the pressure altitude on the factors above? Only item 1) is a concern, because lift
influences the load on the wheel. The next question is, what is the meaning of this speed? Is it ground speed or
indicated air speed?
Let's assume we talk about ground speed:
Increasing pressure altitude means less lift at the same ground speed (e.g. during T/O roll) and consequently to a
higher load on the wheel. This will slightly increase the hydroplaning speed. But, the speed increase will be less than
that to generate the same load on wheel, because at the same time the hydroplaning effect will become more with
increasing speed. So this means, that dynamic pressure, in other words Indicated Air Speed, will be less than at a
lower pressure altitude. We can therefore say, that the IAS at which hydroplaning occurs will be less at increased
pressure altitude. So depending on what the interpretation of "speed" is, answer B) or D) would be correct.
Obviously, the meaning is "Ground Speed" and D) is correct
512.
Viscous hydroplaning occurs primary if the runway is covered with a thin film of water and:
Is very smooth and dirty
513.
The type of hydroplaning that is most likely to occur at the touch down area located at both ends of the
runway is called:
Viscous
514.
In case of landing on a flooded runway and in heavy rain:
1. you increase your approach speed,
2. you land firmly in order to obtain a firm contact of the wheels with the runway and immediately land your nose
gear,
3. you decrease your approach speed,
4. you use systematically all the lift dumper devices,
5. you land as smoothly as possible,
6. you brake energically.
1, 2, 4
515.
For an airplane with a tyre pressure of 12 bars, there is a risk of dynamic hydroplaning as soon as the :
1- water height is equal to the depth of the tyre grooves.

3- water height is equal to the half of the depth of the tyre grooves.
The combination regrouping all the correct statements is :
1 and 2
516.
For an airplane with a tyre pressure of 10 bars, there is a risk of dynamic hydroplaning as soon as the:

518.
For an airplane with a tyre pressure of 16 bars, there is a risk of dynamic hydroplaning as soon as:
1 and 2
Hydroplaning is dependent on speed in relation to tire pressure. Since most aircraft have greater tire pressure in the
main wheels compared to the nose wheel one shall bear in mind that the nose wheel will hydroplane at a lower
speed compared to the main wheels, given the right condition exists. To determine at what speed an aircraft tire will
hydroplane the formula below may be used. It should be stated that you get an theoretically calculated estimate by
using the formula and physically conditions will influence whether hydroplaning occurs or not.
S H =8.73*SQRT P S H is the theoretical speed in knots at which a tire will hydroplane P is tire pressure given in
pounds per square inch 8.73 is a constant.
Calculate Hydroplaning Speed: S H = 8.73 x SQRT (16x14.5) (Note: 1 bar = 14.5 psi)
S H = 133 KT
