aircraft heading is 300 º C .The deviation is 1 º W, variation at the VOR is 10 º E and at the
aircraft's position is 15 º E . If the OBS selector is set at 090 º with the indicator
indicating 'TO' and the pointer centred , what do you plot on a Mercator chart ? Use
conversion factor of 0.8 and change in longitude 5 º W ,what is the heading True of the
aircraft ?

88 Which of the following statements concerning the variable, or directional, signal of a


conventional VOR is correct?

The receiver adds 30 Hz to the variable signal before combining it with the
reference signal

The transmitter changes the frequency of the variable signal by 30 Hz either side of
the allocated frequency each time it rotates

The rotation of the variable signal at a rate of 30 times per second gives it the
characteristics of a 30 Hz amplitude modulation

The transmitter varies the amplitude of the variable signal by 30 Hz each time it
rotates

100 Weather radar operates in the SHF band because

Narrow beams can be transmitted only on SHF.

The short wave lengths produced by SHF give excellent reflections from large water
droplets.

The scanner dish required by SHF is small and can fit into the nose of an aircraft.

Of the long ranges needed to know the weather ahead.
