ATPL QUESTIONS FOR ORAL (questions asked to me ) GENERAL NAVIGATION 1 On Approach charts Difference bwn VOR DME ‘X’ AND ‘Y’ APPROACH, WHAT IS FAF IN ILS AND VOR BOTH , WHY IS DME ALTITUDE TABLE GIVE IN ILS CHARTS,HOW DO YOU DECIDE ROD IF DESCENDING IN A HOLD,ABT CHART DATE AND CHART INDEX NO.(3 FOR VOR,1 FOR ILS,6 FOR NDB),IDENTIFYING HIGHEST OBSTACLE,DOES THE GIVEN CHART HAS MIDDLE MARKER FOR ILS AND IS IT NECESSARY TO HAVE IT FOR ILS,IDENTIFYING MINIMAS FOR THE GIVEN APPROACH 2 On ENROUTE CHART Which projection (LAMBERT) and its scale , identifying routes with r-nav and various other symbols of the nav facilities at a place ,identifying proh,dang and rest areas(actual name of the place with referrence table given) , identifying grid mora for the route,why grid mora coloured magenta(not green) above FL140 ( oxygen mask required),significance of FIR boundary. 3 What is SLOP ? (STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURE ) 4 What is CANPA APPROACH ? HOW IS IT USEFUL AND SAFER ? 5 JEPPESSEN DEFINITIOS :GRID MORA ,MDA,MEA,MSA,RNP-5 V/S RNP 10,MOUNTAINOUS AREA 6 DEFINE NAUTICAL MILE. ITS EXACT VALUE IN FEETS. 7 HOW DO YOU CALCULATE MSA AND GRID MORA. STUDY THE CHARTS WELL !
RADIO NAVIGATION 1. Which aircraft did u fly ? is r-nav facility there in your aircraft? which transponder mode and garmin in your aircraft?
2. Princilpe and errors of various instruments…asi,vsi,vor,dme,ils 3. GPWS v/s TCAS….WHICH is to be followed if both giving warning simultaneously in air (GPWS )
4. STUDY GPS WELL-PRINCIPLES,SEGMENTS AND ERRORS 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
IF VOR/DME FAILS…CAN U CARRY OUT R-NAV AND HOW ? INPUTS TO GPWS AND ITS MODES,TA AND RA IN TCAS ADVANTAGE OF TCAS-3 AND WHICH MODE USED. HOW TO CALCULATE CLOUD BASE USING AWR. WHICH AIRCRAFT WILL U LIKE TO FLY IN FUTURE ? WHY ?
10.CVOR V/S DVOR
OTHER IMP TOPICS ON WHICH QUESTIONS WERE ASKED THAT DAY FROM OTHERS :FANS,FMS,ETOPS,IRS,INS,RVSM,R-NAV,REQUIREMENTS FOR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ILS,REQUIRED INSTRUMENTATION FOR RVSM,LNAV,VNAV,PAPI,SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE AIRPORT I HOPE THIS WILL HELP…BEST OF LUCK GUYS.
