●● Great circle route
Answer: The shortest route between any 2 points on a sphere is known
as the ______.
●● Rhumb Line
Answer: A ________ makes the same angle with each meridian of
longitude.
●● The equator
Answer: Longitude cannot be used as a scale to measure distance except
at ______.
●● Prime Meridian
Answer: The ______ is the reference line used to measure degrees of
longitude.
●● Meridians
Answer: ________ are used to measure angular (circular) differences
east and west of the Prime Meridian.
,●● Parallels
Answer: ______ run east/west and are used to measure degrees of
latitude.
●● Parallels
Answer: ________ measure distance north or south of the equator.
●● coordinates
Answer: Places where meridians and parallels cross are known as
________.
●● Rhumb line
Answer: This route requires more time and fuel because of the greater
distance traveled, but is easier to navigate.
●● great circle route
Answer: The _______ is the most direct route over the earth's surface
and saves time/money for pilots.
●● great circle route; rhumb line
Answer: The __________ crosses every meridian at a different angle
and the ______ makes the same angle with each meridian of longitude.
,●● equator
Answer: The reference line for measuring north/south distances is the
_________.
●● 1.15; .87
Answer: 1 NM = ____ SM. 1 SM = ____ NM.
●● NM
Answer: What is used for all mileages in IFR planning and operations, in
addition to federal airways and separation rules?
Meters
NM
SM
●● 15 degrees of longitude
Answer: A time zone is established for every ___.
15 degrees of latitude
15 degrees of longitude
24 degrees of longitude
24 degrees of latitude
, ●● subtract
Answer: When converting US time zones to Zulu time, if Daylight
Savings time is in effect, ___ 1 hour from the conversion.
●● 0500
Answer: If it is 1300Z in Philadelphia (EST), what local time would it
be in San Francisco (PST)?
●● Indicated airspeed
Answer: What type of airspeed is shown on the a/c's airspeed indicator
and is used in pilot/controller communications?
●● True airspeed
Answer: This type of airspeed is used in flight planning and the en route
portion of flight, and is relative to undisturbed air mass.
●● Ground speed
Answer: This type of airspeed indicates the speed of an aircraft relative
to the surface of the earth, and corrects the true airspeed for the effects
of wind.
●● Mach number
