SSR mode C read outs indicate

Height

Altitude

Pressure altitude

Correct answer

Pressure altitude

DME gives range and bearing within

200 nm to

Limited no. Of a/c

Unlimited

Only one a/c

 SSR code for entering FIR and radio
failure are

2000/7600

4326/7600

2000/7500

2000/7700

Correct answer

2000/7600

Which of the following is correct?

DME equipment receive TACAN

ranges without modiNcation

A DME station can give ranges upto

200 a/c at a time

Simultaneous DME ranges from 2

stations give a unique Nx

The DME station sends a signal 36

mhz different from the interrogator
 The DME provides distance
information to:

Any number of a/c, provided they are

within 200 miles of station

Limited number of a/c within 500

miles of station

Limited number of a/c within 200 nm

of the station

Correct answer

Limited number of a/c within 200 nm

of the station

You’re a/c is being hijacked. What

SSR code should you select on mode
A?

7700

7600

7500

7007
 #Which of the following is correct?

A DME transponder in an a/c receives

TACAN ranges

A TACAN transponder on the

ground sends DME ranges

A VORTAC transmitter on the ground

sends TACAN radials

TACAN is not compatible with DME

Which of the following is not an

advantage of secondary radar over
the primary radar?

Ground returns are eliminated

Every a/c within range points on the

screen

The target a/c identiNes itself

Power required by the transmitter

is reduced considerably

Correct answer

Every a/c within range points on the

screen
 What accuracy would you expect
from a conventional DME range
indication of 50nm

0.5 nm

1 nm

1.5 nm

2 nm

Correct answer

1 nm

Under normal circumstances, a DME

station can transmit ranges between

50 a/c locked on to it

100 a/c locked on to it

50 a/c search on to it

100 a/c search on to it

 If DME is paired with an ILS, where
will the indicated ranges be correct?

In all direction, up to 20 nm

Within the localiser catchment area

In all directions, upto 10 nm

Along the runway centerline in both

directions, upto 20 nm

An a/c is flying at FL 250 with its

altitude alerting system set to that
flight level. If it enters a climb, at
what altimeter indication will the
altitude alert warn the pilot?

25100 ft

25300 ft

25500 ft

25900 ft

Correct answer

25300 ft
How many codes are available in
mode A of SSR?

7777

4069

4096

What approximate frequency is used

for DME?

10 ghz

1000 mhz

10 mhz

1000 khz
 What does the SPI facility of an SSR
do?

It sends an extra pulse for 20 s

It switches the mode A response

on and off for 20 secs

It sends an extra pulse for 1 min

It switches the mode A response on

and off for 1 min

Correct answer

It sends an extra pulse for 20 s

How often should the detabase of

the FMC be updated?

Every 90 days

Every 28 days

Every 14 days

After very ]ight

 Mode A 7700 is used in the case of
an

Hijack

Emergency

RCF

Mode C gives indication to the

ground about the a/c’s altitude. If the
indications are more than a certain
amount in error, it must be switched
off. What are the limits?

± 50 ft

± 300 ft

± 150 ft

± 200 ft

Correct answer

± 300 ft
 In DME the ground beacon uses a
different frequency from that used by
the a/c

To prevent self triggering

To measure distance very

accurately when close to the
station

As it operates on VHF

Correct answer

To prevent self triggering

Name *

Sneha Jauhari

Why are SSR transmissions in pairs

of pulses?

To prevent random noise being

falsely identiNed

To provide side lobe suppression

To indicate the mode of interrogation

Your a/c being hijacked. What SSR
code should you select on mode A?

7700

7600

7500

What form of emission does a DME

signal use?

A2A

A3E

A8W

P0N
 If your DME indicator reads 5 nm
and you’re a/c is flying at 24000 what
is your surface range from the
station?

3 km

4 km

5.5 km

8 km

Correct answer

5.5 km

When DME is co-located with I.L.S

then the zero distance will be
indicated at

The ILS threshold

At the DH

AT the MAP

At the VOR
 What SSR code would you select on
mode A if you were crossing an FIR
and had not been allocated a specific
code?

Standby

2000

7000

0000
