ATPL QUESTIONS FOR ORAL (questions asked to me )GENERAL NAVIGATION 1 On Approach charts Difference bwn VOR DME X AND

Y APPROACH, WHAT IS FAF IN ILS AND VOR BOTH , WHY IS DME ALTITUDE TABLE GIVE IN ILS CHARTS,HOWDO YOU DECIDE ROD IF DESCENDING IN A HOLD,ABT CHART DATE ANDCHART INDEX NO.(3 FOR VOR,1 FOR ILS,6 FOR NDB),IDENTIFYING HIGHESTOBSTACLE,DOES THE GIVEN CHART HAS MIDDLE MARKER FOR ILS AND IS ITNECESSARY TO HAVE IT FOR ILS,IDENTIFYING MINIMAS FOR THE GIVENAPPROACH2 On ENROUTE CHARTWhich projection (LAMBERT) and its scale , identifying routes with r-navand various other symbols of the nav facilities at a place ,identifyingproh,dang and rest areas(actual name of the place with referrence tablegiven) , identifying grid mora for the route,why grid mora colouredmagenta(not green) above FL140 ( oxygen mask required),significance of FIR boundary.3 What is SLOP ? (STRATEGIC LATERAL OFFSET PROCEDURE )4 What is CANPA APPROACH ? HOW IS IT USEFUL AND SAFER ?5 JEPPESSEN DEFINITIOS :-GRID MORA ,MDA,MEA,MSA,RNP-5 V/S RNP 10,MOUNTAINOUS AREA6 DEFINE NAUTICAL MILE. ITS EXACT VALUE IN FEETS.7 HOW DO YOU CALCULATE MSA AND GRID MORA.STUDY THE CHARTS WELL ! RADIO NAVIGATION1. Which aircraft did u fly ? is r-nav facility there in your aircraft?which transponder mode and garmin in your aircraft? 2.

Princilpe and errors of various instrumentsasi,vsi,vor,dme,ils 3. GPWS v/ s TCAS.WHICH is to be followed if both giving warningsimultaneously in air (GPWS ) 4. STUDY GPS WELL-PRINCIPLES,SEGMENTS AND ERRORS 5. IF VOR/DME FAILSCAN U CARRY OUT R -NAV AND HOW ?6. INPUTS TO GPWS AND ITS MODES,TA AND RA IN TCAS7. ADVANTAGE OF TCAS-3 AND WHICH MODE USED.8. HOW TO CALCULATE CLOUD BASE USING AWR.9. WHICH AIRCRAFT WILL U LIKE TO FLY IN FUTURE ? WHY ?10.CVOR V/S DVOR OTHER IMP TOPICS ON WHICH QUESTIONS WERE ASKEDTHAT DAY FROM OTHERS :FANS,FMS,ETOPS,IRS,INS,RVSM,RNAV,REQUIREMENTSFOR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ILS,REQUIREDINSTRUMENTATION FOR RVSM,LNAV,VNAV,PAPI,SUITABLEAND ADEQUATE AIRPORT I HOPE THIS WILL HELP BEST OF LUCK GUYS

ATPL VIVA QUESTIONS 65236335 1. What is the required instrumentation for RVSM? 2. If a pilot is unable to maintain RVSM, what is the RT

phraseology? 3. What is ETOPS, Different extensions available4. What is TCAS? 5. How does TCAS work? Difference between TCAS I and II 6. What is the difference between GPWS and EGPWS 7. Questions on runway lighting (from jeppesons)8. Questions on runway marking (Jeppesons)9. Radio failure procedure in Radar, Non -Radar and during a SID10. Requirements for ILS Cat IIIb11. DH and RVR requirement for cat IIIb12. Is middle marker mandatory for ILS approaches13. Outer marker colour of visual lighting, frequency, morse code and distance14. Wind shear mode in GPWS. What is predictive wind shear(a 320 kingfisher pilot got grilled on this topic)15. If you are navigating using triple INS and if all three fail, how will younavigate (The same 320 pilot answered raw data but the examiner was looking for gps as an answer)16. What is CANPA? How is it useful? 17. Why is 50 feet added to MDA to calculate DDH in a CANPA approach? 18. Why is 50 feet not added to the DH in an ILS approach if the same if done for a CANPA approach to calculate the DDH? 19. What is FANS? 20. What is RNP? Required equipment for RNP-5 21. Why is the instrumentation for RNP-10 more complex than RNP-5? 22. ETOPS: What is the difference between adequate airport and suitable airport? 23. Questions on approach plate symbols Height of highest obstacle, MSA,Circling minima etc 24. What is the code for NDB in an approach plate (63 for vor and 1 for ils)25. Questions on enroute chart symbols fir boundary, navigation and communication frequency change over point, MEA26. What is MORA? How is MORA calculated? 27. What is mountainous area? (Jeppeson definition)28. Questions on lighting in TVASI, Pulsating VASI 29. How do you carry out a CANPA approach if FAF is not published? How is theFAF crossing height calculated? 30. How is the height of cloud base calculated using weather radar? 31. Frequency of operation, working of weather radar? 32. In NDB chart for Runway 07 chennai, visibility minima for cat c and cat d

aircraft is published as 3400 and 5000 m respectively. If prevailing visibility is 3400 m, can the approach be carried out for a cat b category aircraft? 33. VOR interception angles while going outbound and inbound to a station34. Working of GPS 35. Questions on WAAS and LAAS 36. Questions on type of FMS aboard the aircraft you fly 37. How do you navigate to the north pole(the answer examiners are looking for is grid navigation) 38. What is DVOR? 39. What is the modulation pattern of a reference and variable signal in DVOR 40. In Chennai, what is the direction of the runway slope? (the whole idea is supposedly to check if you are familiar with the aerodrome you operate out of)41. Why is circle to land operations not allowed south of RWY 27 in Mumbai?These were the questions which I got and those I managed to gather from the peoplewho did their ATPL oral. Hope it helps! 1. How do you the Jeppesen IFR Plotter on IFR Charts??2. What is Standard of Parallel??
