@cvc chetan
hey even with the formula root 1.5 times ht in ft is not working on that sum that is posted.

it comes to 193.6 almost equal to 194..

the nearest option here is 198 .. so its the answer.

to be precise - add the 900 to 25000 and then do the calculation.. it comes to 197.x

yup if u add them it comes right otherwise it comes to 194. thanks.

well that's the reason its called approximate.. cos u don't know the exact..

Best of luck and cheers

i have a small doubt the vhf formula
D=1.25 * Sq(h1) + 1.25 * Sq (h2)
D IS IN NM
H1&H2 are the altitudes of station and ac in feet amsl

where as in the question FL are used for ac

and for FL are 29.92hg or 1013.25hpa

and sq(1.5*height) is same as D=1.25 * Sq(h1) + 1.25 * Sq (h2)
because square root of 1.5 is 1.22 or 1.25 aprox


may be because of the ac vertical distance given in FL we are not getting the correct ans
:ok:

In the question mentioned in the book, the distance is given as 25000' and not FL250....

@uniform
 

The formula 1.25(root of h1+ root of h2) is an approximation just like 1 by 60 rule.

The exact formula of calculating range of a Tx considers POwer, medium characteristics , frequency and more components which are not associated with Aviation. (must have read R=root (power))

So, the above mentioned formula gives you an approximate ans, choose whichever is near to that ans.

Theoritical and approximate ranges are same thing. I think its a no brainer, just to confuse. Only ques 4 sounds confusing in which ans comes out to be 281 but the ans given is different. I presume this as a mistake.

@UNIFORM

"1. What is the theoretical maximum range that an aircraft at FL420 will obtain from a VOR beacon situated at 400' amsl?
ans - 276nm

2. What is the approximate maximum range that an aircraft flying at 25000' would expect to obtain from a VOR beacon situated 900' amsl?
ans - 198nm"

Max Theoretical Range of Vor = 1.23 √Receiver Ht (in feet) + 1.23√Transmitter Ht (in feet)

= 1.23 √42000 +1.23 √400
= 276 nm

Approximate Maximum Range = 1.23√[Reciever Ht + Transmitter Ht(in feet)]


= 1.23√[25000+ 900]
=198 nm


LOFT:ok:

hey thanks to all :ok:

i used 1.25 √Receiver Ht + 1.25 √Transmitter Ht instead of 1.23 which also made a lot of difference
using 1.25 in the 1st numerical gives ans = 281nm (which is one of the option but is WRONG)
and 1.23 gives the perfect answer = 276nm

Also didnt knew the difference in theoretical maximum range and approximate maximum range :rolleyes:

but now all clear.. :) thanks again to all :ok:

Hi ALL
I have a doubt from radio aids oxford
The reference wave is 240 and variable is 90. What is the phase difference?
Answer should be 150 or 210?

Thanks

i thought it was 150 ::E:E.. But it's 210.. As it's 360+90-240 = 210..

Answer would be 210.

Folks, candidates are getting the call up letters.
Exam is on 27 feb 2011 as speculated.

Best of Luck to all

Fly safe

it seems ppl with 65xxx nos got the mail
