Questions for VOR

Answer the following questions

1. A VOR beacon ceases to transmit its normal identification which is substituted by ‘TST'. This means that
2. An aircraft is attempting to home to a VOR beacon. The pilot has set 329 on the OBS of the deviation indicator. If the aircraft is situated on the 152 radial then the deviation indicator will show
3.
An aircraft is tracking away from a VOR on the 050 radial with 10° starboard drift. An NDB lies to the east of the VOR. Which of the RMIs illustrated below shows the aircraft when it is obtaining a relative bearing of 100° from the NDB?
4. The Designated Operational Coverage quoted for VOR beacons in the COMM section of the Air Pilot
5. What is the approximate maximum range that an aircraft flying at 25000' would expect to obtain from a VOR beacon situated 900' above mean sea level?
6.
The VOR in an aircraft is correctly tuned and set to define the centre line of an airway within UK airspace which you intend to fly. The indication received on the VOR/ILS deviation indicator is shown below. At the same time the DME gave a range of 90nm from the facility. At the time of the observation, the aircraft's radial and distance from the airway centre-line were:
7. A Conventional VOR

9. The VOR indications on an RMI whose deviation is not zero
10. The type of emission radiated by a VOR beacon is
11. An aircraft is on the airway boundary range 100 nm from a VOR marking the airway centre line. Assuming that each dot equates to 2° how many dots deviation will be shown on the deviation indicator?
12. Concerning conventional and Doppler VORs (DVOR), which of the following is correct?
13.
