  Chapter 16: Navigation › Using the VOR › Time and Distance Check From a Station Using a RMI

  Time and Distance Check From a Station Using a RMI To compute time and distance from a station, first turn the aircraft to place the RMI bearing pointer on the nearest 90° index. Note the time and maintain the heading ... bearing change is flown. If the elapsed time for the bearing change is noted Time-Distance Check Example in seconds and a 10° bearing change is made, the time from the station, in minutes, is determined by counting…

  prior to takeoff. Few pilots have ever had to make an “emergency takeoff.” While the point of the 5P check is to help the pilot fly, the correct application of the 5 P before takeoff is to assist in making ... reasoned go/no-go decision based on all the information available. That decision will usually be to “go,” with certain restrictions and changes, but may also be a “no-go.” The key idea is that these two points in the process…

  accomplish the dual receiver check, a pilot must tune both VOR receivers to the same VOR ground facility. The maximum permissible variation between the two indicated bearings is 4°. A list of the airborne and ground checkpoints is published ... Chart Supplement U.S. Basically, these checks consist of verifying that the VOR radials the aircraft equipment receives are aligned with the radials the station transmits. There are not specific tolerances in VOR checks required for VFR flight…

  Time and Distance Check From a Station Using a CDI To compute time and distance from a station using a CDI, first tune and identify the VOR station and determine the radial on which you are located. Then turn inbound ... flown that results in an angle or rate of intercept sufficient for solving a particular problem. Time-Distance Check Formula Figure 16-34. Time-distance check formula using…

  satisfactorily controlled when an engine suddenly becomes inoperative and the remaining engine is at takeoff power. Instrument Check Prior to takeoff, the ASI should read zero. However, if there is a strong wind blowing directly into the pitot tube ... moisture (including ice), dirt, or even insects. During preflight, make sure the pitot tube cover is removed. Then, check the pitot and static port openings. A blocked pitot tube affects the accuracy of the ASI, but a blockage…
