G Nav Questions - 2
Hi
Need help on these questions please ...
On a Mercator chart a straight line is drawn between point A (34 23'S 007 00'W) and point B (34 23'S 009 00'E). Use this info to answer following...
The chart distance of the line is 83cm. The scale of the chart at 34 23'S is:-
a) 1:954,000
b) 1:1,772,000
c) 1:1,160,000
d) 1:2,150,000
--------------------
The scale of the chart at the equator is:-
a) 1:954,000
b) 1:1,772,000
c) 1:1,160,000
d) 1:2,150,000
-------------------
The rhumb line track from A to B is:-
a) 090 T
b) 090 M
c) 270 T
d) 270 M
-------------------
The great circle track from A to B measured at A is:-
a) 086T
b) 090T
c) 094T
d) 099T
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
Best regards,

Scale = Chart length / Earth Length
Chart length = 83 cm
Earth length is departure = ch. long (minutes) x cos lat = 16 x 60 x cos 34°23' = 792 nm
change to centmetres : 792 x 1852 x 100 = 146,728,000 cm
Scale is 83 : 146,728,000 however should be expressed as 1 : something so divide both sides by 83. Scale is then 1 : 1,768,000.
----------------------
For scale at the equator divide the denominator of the scale (the "1,768,000" bit) by cos of the latitude.
1,768,000 / cos 34°23' = 2,142,000. Scale is 1: 2,142,000
---------------------
They are at the same latitude, rhumb-line track must be 090° or 270°. B is further East so track is 090°.
--------------------
The rhumb-line track is 090°. If you draw a diagram the great-circle track at A is greater than the rhumb-line track. The difference is conversion angle.
C.A. = 0.5 x ch.long x sin mean lat = 0.5 x 16° x sin 34°23' = 4.5°
90° + 4.5° = 94.5°
Any better answer requires diagrams, so you should contact your training povider. Best of luck!

here my answers:
departure: 16 degrees*60miles*cos 34=794 miles
794miles*1.852=1470 km
1470000m:0.83=1772000
answer B.
-------------------------------------------------------
then the scale contract at the equator(biger) and expand away from equator
1772000 : cos 34=2137418
answer D
--------------------------------------------------------
rhumb line 090T
answer A
----------------------------------------
last question: we are in the south!!!
16 degree * sin34=9 degrees
9:2=4.5 degree
090+4.5=94.5 degree
departure: 16 degrees*60miles*cos 34=794 miles
794miles*1.852=1470 km
1470000m:0.83=1772000

Well, It is written nowhere you have to do the progress tests by yourself. So ABO is in his right to post his homework, and it is good for us , it makes us safer, exactly what the CAA/JAA wants...
