Answer the following questions
Test Mode
Training Mode
1. What is the slant range error for an aircraft flying at 9000 feet absolute altitude above a DME located at elevation 2000 ft, when the slant range is 12 NM?
1.42 NM.
0.9 NM.
0.31 NM.
2. A VOR/DME share the same first two letters of their respective identifiers; the last identifying letter of the DME is a Z. This means that
they are more than 600m apart but serve the same location.
they are a maximum distance of 30m apart.
they are widely separated and do not serve the same location.
3. DME and VOR are frequency paired because
both ground transmitter aerials can be placed on the same site if required.
cockpit workload is reduced.
the same receiver can be used for both aids.
4. The aircraft DME receiver cannot lock on to interrogation signals reflected from the ground because
aircraft transmitter and DME ground station are transmitted on different frequencies
reflections are subject to Doppler frequency shift
DME pulse recurrent rates are varied
5. Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) operates in the
UHF band and is a primary radar system
UHF band and is a secondary radar system
SHF band and uses frequency modulation techniques
6. Airborne DME equipment is able to discriminate between pulses intended for it self and pulses intended for other aircraft because
aircraft reject pulses not synchronised with its own random pulse recurrence rate.
aircraft will only accept unique twin pulses.
each aircraft has its own frequency allocation.
7. A DME in tracking mode subsequently experiences a reduction in signal strength will switch the equipment in the first instance to
standby mode
signal controlled search
memory mode
8. In which situation will speed indications on a airborne Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) most closely represent the groundspeed of an aircraft flying at FL 400?
When passing abeam the station and within 5NM of it
When overhead the station, with no change of heading at transit
When tracking directly towards the station at a range of 100NM or more
9. DME is a (i) radar operating in the (ii) band and transmits (iii)
(i) primary; (ii) SHF; (iii) CW pulses
(i) secondary; (ii) SHF; (iii) 2400 pulse pairs per second
(i) secondary; (ii) UHF; (iii) pulse pairs
10. An a/c is flying at a height of 20,000 ft over a DME stn it will show
2,000'
Zero.
Appx 6 km
11. If a VOR station and a DME station, having different locations, are selected to provide a fix
two sets, with separate frequency control, are required in the aircraft.
two different IDs will have to be checked
all 2 answers below are correct.
12. If an ident signal is received once in 30 seconds on a frequency paired VOR/DME, then:
the VOR only is operational.
the TACAN signal is degraded.
the DME only is operational
13. When a DME is used insted of marker beacons to provide range to the threshold on an ILS approach and where the DME frequency is paired with the ILS, the DME indications should not be used at altitudes greater than
3,000 ft
6,000 ft
25,000 ft
14. During a flight at FL210, a pilot does not receive any DME distance indication from a DME station located approximately 220NM away. The reason for this that the
Aero plane is circling around the station
Aero plane is below the "line of sight" altitude
Altitude is too high
15. A VOR and DME are co-located. You want to identify the DME by listening to the Call sign. Having heard the same call sign 4 times in 30 seconds the
DME call sign is the one with the higher pitch that was broadcast only once
DME call sign was not transmitted, the distance information is sufficient proof of correct operation
VOR and DME call signs were the same and broadcast with the same pitch
16. An aircraft flying at flight level 250 wishes to interrogate a DME beacon situated 400 ft above man sea level. What is the maximum range likely to be achieved?
198 nm.
210 nm.
222 nm.
17. Groundspeed measurement using DME equipment is most accurate flying
towards the station at short range.
from the station at long range.
past the station at short range.
18. On a DME, display counters rotating throughout their range indicates
the airborne receiver is conducting a range search
airborne equipment failure
the airborne equipment is conducting a frequency search
19. An aircraft receives a reply pulse from a DME 1200 ยต sec after transmission of the interrogation pulse. The DME has a fixed delay of 50 microsec) The range of the aircraft from the DME station is
45 nm
75 nm
93 nm
20. Referring to DME during the initial stage of the search pattern before lock-on
the ground receiver maintains the ground transmitter pulse transmission rate at no more than 150 per second.
the airborne transmitter transmits 150 pulses each second.
the aircraft transmits 24 pulses per second and the receiver checks a maximum of 150 pulses per second.
21. A DME is located at MSL. AN aircraft passing vertically the station at FL360 will obtain a DME range of approximately
6NM
7NM
8NM
22. A DME receiver does not lock on to its own transmitter because of
DME is free from ground clutter.
Transmitter and receiver are working at different frequency.
It works on the principle of random PRF
23. An aircraft DME receiver rejects pulses meant for other aircraft because
the random PRF is unique to each aircraft.
the transmission and reply frequencies are 63 MHz apart.
the pulses are unique to each aircraft.
24. Of what use, if any, is a military TACAN station to civil aviation?
It can provide DME distance
It is of no use to civil aviation
It can provide a magnetic bearing
25. A DME station is located 1000ft above MSL. An aircraft flying at FL 370, 15NM away from the DME station, will have a DME reading of
16NM
14NM
15NM
26. A DME receiver is able to distinguish between replies to its own interrogation pulses and those intended for other aircraft using the same transponder because
each aircraft transmits pulses at a random rate (jittering) and will only accept replies that match this randomisation.
DME is a secondary radar and each aircraft transmits and receives on a different frequency.
when DME is in the range search mode it will accept only pluses separated by + or - 63 MHz from the interrogation frequency.
27. The DME automatic standby will activate the DME interrogator when
there are too many aircraft in the area for it to service.
the DME ident signal is received.
a VOR frequency that has a frequency paired DME is selected.
28. A DME that has difficulty obtaining a "lock-on":(NOTE : PRE = pulse recurrence frequency, PPS = pulse per second)
stays in search mode but reduces PRF to max. 60PPS after 100 seconds.
stays in search mode but without a reduction in PRF
stays in search mode but reduces PRF to max, 60PPS after 1500 pulse pairs have been transmitted
29. An aircraft will not accept replies from its own transmissions that are reflected from the ground because the
pulses are transmitted in pairs.
interrogation and reply frequencies are 63 Mhz apart.
the aircraft's registration is embedded onto the signal.
30. The airborne DME equipment will transmit pulse pairs at a comparatively high PRF
Whenever a stable signal is being received from the selected ground station
When first switched on and after a channel selection
At all times, except when the panel control LO is operated.
