SCAN Homework #8


NTSB 830:

1. Define an aircraft accident:
 
 
 
2. What is a fatal injury?
 
 
 
 
3. How about a serious injury?
 
 
 
4. Define substantial damage:
 
 
 
5. If I accidentally land an airplane gear up, do I necessarily have to report it to the 
	NTSB?   Why or why not?
 
 
6. For a light aircraft, what incidents must be reported immediately to the NTSB?
 
 
 
7. Who is responsible for preserving the wreckage of an aircraft involved in an accident 
	or reportable incident?
 
8. If you crash your brand new A-36 Bonanza on runway 30L at San Jose international 
	causing substantial damage to your aircraft, can airport operations move the 
	aircraft off the runway to allow inbound traffic to land before the NTSB arrives?  
	Why or why not?  (The wreckage can be moved in one piece and will not shift during 
	transportation)
 
 
 
9. In the aftermath of an accident, it was necessary to move hazardous cargo away from the 
	main wreckage to protect it from further damage and to protect the public.  What 
	must be done to help the NTSB with their investigation?  After all you just moved 
	pieces of the puzzle they would use to solve the mystery.
 
 
 
10. After being involved in an accident, how soon and in what form must you submit a 
	report to the NTSB?
 
 
 
11. If you are in a comma after being a crewmember involved in an accident, when must you 
	file a statement regarding the accident?




AIM Chapter 1:

1. A NOTAM has been issued that XYZ VOR is inoperative, yet you tune it in and find that 
	it appears to be indicating properly.  Should you use the VOR for navigation?
 
2. How can you tell if voice transmissions are not possible at a particular NDB station?
 
3. What types of things can result in erroneous ADF indications?
 
 
4. The DAY VOR has voice identification along with Morse code.  You tune in the station 
	and all you hear is "DAYTON" over the frequency.  Is the VOR operating properly?  
	Why or why not?
 
 
 
5. During periods of maintenance on a VOR, what might you hear and/or not hear over the 
	frequency?
 
 
6. While flying along during climb you tune in XYZ VOR and track outbound.  For the entire 
	climb segment you keep the needle perfectly centered as you fly.  After leveling 
	off and reducing the power, you notice the course needle swinging up to six 
	degrees either side of center.  Should you report this to ATC?  Why or why not?
 
 
 
 
7. What is a VOT and how is it used?
 
 
 
8. Where can you find the location and frequency of a VOT?
 
9. As far as a civilian pilot is concerned, what is the difference between a VORTAC (a VOR 
	with TACAN capabilities) and a VOR/DME?
 
 
10. What is the accuracy of DME distance information?
 
 
11. While flying over a VOR/DME station your DME indicates 6.0nm.  Why does it indicate as 
	such?
 
 
12. How can you tell if the DME at a VORTAC is operating properly?
 
 
13. What are the different types of VORs, along with the standard service volumes of each 
	type?
 
 
 
 
 
14. What are the different types of NDBs, along with the standard service volumes of each 
	type?
 
 
 
  
15. What are the standard operating hours for navigation facilities?  And, where can I 
	find information on the hours of operation of specific navaids?
 
 
 
16. What types of navaid malfunctions should you report?
 
 
 
17. What should you include in a report of a malfunctioning navaid?
 
 
 
 
 
18. In what ways can you make a report of malfunctioning navaids?
 
 
 
 
19. What is LORAN?
 
 
 
20. What is VHF/DF and what can it be used for?
 
 
 
21. How can you identify a VFR waypoint that can be entered in your GPS receiver on a 
	sectional or terminal chart?
 
 
 
22. Where can you get RAIM information and for how long is it valid?
 
 
 
23. What is the difference between ASR and ARSR?
