hi everyone,
I had cleared my radio aids & instrument oral in april 2013 attempt but couldn't make it in nav.
The following questions were asked to me this time:-
1) What is latitude, longitude, rhumb line?
2) What is earth's compression?
3) What is orthomorphism?
4) What is convergency?formula?
5) Tell me everything you know about mercator and lambert projection? (explain everything construction, properties, shapes of rhumb line, G.C., scale variation etc)
6) What is transverse and oblique mercator?
7) What is GPS?
8) There was a VOR approach plate, was asked to brief him the approach.
What is the MSA, FAF?
MSA was 2600', he asked if coming inbound ATC clears you to descend to 2600' at 26nm would you descend?(I said yes i would descend as i am coming inbound i will enter the msa shortly. I dont know if its correct because technically msa clears obstacles uptill 25nm only
)
Tell me the missed approach procedure of this approach.
9) He took an enroute chart and asked me to locate a particular location (jodhpur) in the chart? (ans. locate it by opening the page where the page nos are written across the location name, eg. jodhpur pg7c etc they want to see you do this
)
And what are the standard parallels of this chart?
Thats it, you can go now
My last attempt at nav orals was pathetic, but this time it was good, hopefully, i will clear this time.
Thanks for reading.
