7. What is Class 1 Navigation?

   Any Enroute flight operation conducted in controlled or Class G airspace that is entirely within operational service volumes of ground-based NAVAIDs (VOR, VOR/DME, NDB) *Note: Class 1 Navigation is not dependent upon the equipment installed in the aircraft. Class 1 navigation also includes enroute flight operations over routes designated with an MEA Gap The method used to conduct Class 1 navigation is not dependent on the use of these facilities and many include pilotage or any other means whic…

8. What does an MEA ensure

   1) Reception of Navigation aids necessary to navigate accurately along the required route 2) Safe Clearance from obstacles within the sector 1000ft of clearance above the highest obstacle within 4 miles of the airway centerline 2000ft of clearance in designated mountainous terrain

9. What is an MEA (or Navigation) GAP?

   You might loose ground-based navigational coverage along that airway segment. If you loose reception, dead reckoning or some other form of navigation is needed

10. What is Class 2 Navigation?

    Any Enroute Operation or portion of an operation that takes place outside the operational service volumes of ground-based NAVAIDs Class 2 includes transoceanic operations and operation sin remote land areas. Example: Q routes from Tampa to New Orleans over the Gulf of Mexico. Aircraft must have suitable RNAV Equipment.

20. T/F variation is noted on Jeppesen products on the airport diagram

    Ture!!

21. MSA is depicted on Jeppesen approach plates just like government plates

    Yes! it is the same on approach plates

22. When are takeoff alternates needed?

    When the weather is below landing minimums 1 hour before to 1 hour after the scheduled time of departure.

23. After landing in a 2-engine jet (part 121) the airport goes below landing mins, how does this impact your departure?

    Takeoff is still allowed if the alternate is within 1 hour with one engine operating to an airport with better weather.

24. MORA is depicted in what color for less than 10,000'? For both Jeppesen and Government Charts

    Green for Jeppesen charts. Tan for Gov Charts

    Method One Navigation provides a positive slope at least 1000ft above terrain/obstructions within 5 SM of the track.

28. For Part 121 Operations, when an Alternate(s) is required, what are the fuel requirements?

    Enough fuel to: Fly to Destination then the most distant alternate +45 min @ normal cruise fuel burn rate

29. Part 121 Derived Alternate Airport for the 2 NAV rule

    Add 200' & 1/2 to the higher of the 2 published minimums
