After setting the Origin in IFD Trainer, which button could I push to load the published departure?

NRST

PROC

ENTR

You cannot load the departure in the IFD

Please select an option. Incorrect Departures are procedures, and therefore the best way to bring up a list of possible departures is with the dedicated function key on the right side of the bezel. Hitting the ENTR knob at this point would bring up waypoints instead.

How can I preview each waypoint in a flight plan as the flight plan is being built?

‘View Compact’ LSK while in the FMS Page with the map visible

Pinch zoom while in the Map Page

Under the Route tab in the Map Page

This is only possible with an EFB on a tablet

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD allows you to preview your route as it’s being built while in the FPL tab by expanding the map. The Cursor view will cause the map to hover over the highlighted waypoint along the flight plan. The ‘Compact’ view allows you to view flight plans in a format that more closely resembles a clearance.

How do I intercept a radial along a procedure such as a SID or STAR while in GPS Mode?

Go direct to the next downpath waypoint and hand-fly to the radial as necessary

Highlight the appropriate downpath waypoint and activate the leg to that waypoint

Ask ATC for vectors

Fly direct to the previous waypoint and pick up your flight plan from there

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD will navigate ‘to’ each waypoint, and since the radial is a leg of the departure, it will fly you to the leg at an appropriate intercept angle to put you on the assigned course to the next waypoint.

How do I intercept a radial while in OBS Mode?

Activate leg to the appropriate downpath waypoint, Push CDI to get to OBS Mode, then tune to the reciprocal

Turn the CDI knob to VLOC mode and tune to the navaid frequency

Activate downpath waypoint and decouple the autopilot

Push Direct-To, Enter, Enter

Please select an option. Incorrect If given instructions to fly to a navaid on the given radial, we are coming from a course that is 180 degrees in the opposite direction. ATC wants us on a specific radial to the navaid, but since we are on the opposite side of the navaid, we just need to tune the reciprocal.

What happens if my IFD is still in OBS Mode when I cross the waypoint?

The IFD will stay in OBS mode, and you may bust your clearance

The IFD will automatically switch back to GPS mode and continue along your flight plan

The IFD will stay in OBS mode and will alert you to change modes

The IFD will prompt you to activate the next leg

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD was designed to be more intuitive and to reduce the amount of human intervention in flight.

When is Course Offset unavailable as an option along a flight plan?

During the Enroute portion of your flight

While flying a published procedure

Between user-defined waypoints

Between GPS waypoints only

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD will allow you to alter your course easily unless you are currently flying a published procedure, where course deviations are rare and only as specifically instructed by ATC.

Where can I find the Invert LSK when creating a reversed flight plan?

FMS Page, FPL tab

FMS Page, WPT tab

FMS Page, Route tab

FMS Page, Info tab

Please select an option. Incorrect Inverting a route is done when copying and naming a new route, not necessarily the active flight plan.

What waypoints will the IFD allow me to hold at?

GPS waypoints only

VORs and VORTACs only

Only published waypoints

All published waypoints and user-defined waypoints

Please select an option. Incorrect The IFD makes it easy to enter a hold at any waypoint at any time, and completely customize inbound radial, direction, ang length of legs in both minutes and miles.

The course to the active waypoint must be within___degrees of the final approach course for proper GPS>VLOC capture criteria.

30 degrees

15 degrees

60 degrees

45 degrees

Please select an option. Incorrect Aircraft track must be within 15 degrees, but the COURSE must be within an angle that is not too steep to intercept. 60 would be too steep of a course angle, and 30 is still a bit shallow.

How do I intercept a DME Arc?

You have to fly to the IAF then fly the arc in its entirety to the intermediate fix

Highlight the first waypoint after the arc and activate the DME Arc leg

Tune to the VOR and turn 10, twist 10

Go direct to the IAF and follow the magenta line

Please select an option. Incorrect Intercepting a DME arc is no different than intercepting a normal leg. Because the DME arc is flown with GPS navigation, tuning to the nav frequency is not required.
