AVIA 102 COMPLETE LATEST MIDTERM
1 BASED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Methods of Navigation: - correct answer-✅- Pilotage
- Dead Reckoning
- Celestial Navigation
- Radio Navigation
Pilotage (Nav): - correct answer-✅•An organized system with reference to the Earth's surface
•I.e. planning to follow landmarks
Dead Reckoning (Nav): - correct answer-✅•"Point and shoot" using the Earth's surface - tracks and
times
Celestial Navigation: - correct answer-✅Using reference to stars
Radio Navigation: - correct answer-✅Navigating without visual reference to the Earth's surface
Meridians of Longitude: - correct answer-✅•Run from North to South
•Measure from 0 ° to 180 ° east and west of the Prime Meridian
•Scale on lines of longitude measures Latitude
Parallel's of Latitude: - correct answer-✅•Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
•Measured from 0° to 90° North or South of the equator.
•The scale measures Longitude.
Geographical Coordinates: - correct answer-✅•Positions of landmarks obtained using Latitude and
Longitude
•Expressed in latitude first then longitude
•IE 50°N 91°W
•For more specific positions use Degrees, Minutes and Seconds
•IE 50°06'52''N 91°54'15''W
Time Zones in Canada (PMCEAN): - correct answer-✅•Pacific (PST) = 8 hours behind GMT
•Mountain (MST) = 7 hours behind GMT
•Central (CST) = 6 hours behind GMT
•Eastern (EST) = 5 hours behind GMT
•Atlantic (AST) = 4 hours behind GMT
•NFLD (NST) = 3.5 hours behind GMT
Great Circle: - correct answer-✅•A line over the surface of the earth that, if extended over the entire
surface of the sphere, would cut it exactly in half
Rhumb Line: - correct answer-✅•A curved line on the earth that meets each meridian at the same
angle
Heading: - correct answer-✅•The direction the aircraft's nose is pointing
•Measured in degrees from North
Bearing: - correct answer-✅•The direction of an object from an observer or our position relative to a
point.
•Measured in degrees from North
Earth's Magnetism: - correct answer-✅•Magnetic north and a south poles
•Lines of force exist between these 2 poles, creating a magnetic field around the earth
•A compass needle will align itself with these lines of force.
•The north seeking end will point north
Earth's Magnetic Fields: - correct answer-✅•The earth's magnetic lines of force are horizontal over the
equator and vertical at the poles
•The horizontal part of the force makes a compass magnet point toward north
