What is density altitude? and what is pressure altitude?

What is density altitude? and what is pressure altitude?

Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for temperature.

Pressure altitude is the indicated altitude when an altimeter is set to 29.92 (1,013.2 mb).

What is RVSM?

What is RVSM?

Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) is the reduction, from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet, of the standard vertical separation required between aircraft flying between flight level 290 (29,000 ft) and flight level 410 (41,000 ft).

What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?

What do you need to descend from MDA on a non-precision approach?

You will need to have a clearance, to be stable and visual.

What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?

What is a VOR? What frequency range and band is it in?

VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) is defined as VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range, an aircraft navigation system operating in the VHF band.

VOR's are assigned radio channels between 108.0 MHz and 117.95 MHz (with 50 kHz spacing); this is in the very high frequency (VHF) range.

How accurate are NDB's?

How accurate are NDB's?

NDB’s are stations emitting a signal. There is nothing for them to be accurate about. ADF's on the other hand, when tuned to an NDB need to be accurate within +/- 5 degrees.

What is an MCP and what is an FMA?

What is an MCP and what is an FMA?

IRS / GPS / VOR / DME

Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?

Why does the speed tape on the PFD reads 45kt when the aircraft is stationary?

The speed is too low for an indication.

You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?

You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?

The elevation at which the airplane departed from the runway.
