RTR 3 : Radar

 

Results

Q1. What does RADAR stand for?

Correct answer is A – Radio Detection And Ranging

Q2. How does radar determine the distance to an object?

Correct answer is B – By measuring the time delay between sending the pulse and receiving the echo

Q3. What is the primary function of Surface Movement Radar (SMR) in air traffic control?

Correct answer is B – Detecting and tracking aircraft and vehicles on airport runways and taxiways

Q4. How does Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar (MSSR) differ from Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR)?

Correct answer is A – MSSR uses transponder replies to provide aircraft identity and altitude, while PSR detects all reflected signals

Q5. Which frequency band is commonly used for long-range air traffic control radar?

Correct answer is A – L band (1–2 GHz)

Q6. What is the main purpose of Radar?

Correct answer is B – To detect objects and measure their distance

Q7. Radar works by sending out radio waves and then:

Correct answer is B – Listening for signals that bounce back from objects

Q8. What does SMR (Surface Movement Radar) mainly track?

Correct answer is B – Vehicles and aircraft on the ground at airports

Q9. Which radar type uses aircraft transponders to get information like identity and altitude?

Correct answer is B – Monopulse Secondary Surveillance Radar (MSSR)

Q10. Doppler radar can measure the speed of an object by using:

Correct answer is B – Change in frequency of the reflected waves

Q11. (DME) operate on?

Correct answer is – Secondary radar principle

Q12. DME provides which type of distance measurement?

Correct answer is – Slant range distance

Q13. What is the typical frequency range used by DME?

Correct answer is – 960–1215 MHz

Q14. Which navigation systems is DME commonly used with?

Correct answer is – VOR and ILS

Q15. What does the acronym RHO-THETA represent in navigation?

Correct answer is – Distance and bearing

Q16. How does secondary radar differ from primary radar?

Correct answer is – Secondary radar receives a reply from the target’s transponder

Q17. What happens to the DME distance reading when the aircraft is directly above the ground station?

Correct answer is – It shows the aircraft’s height in nautical miles

Q18. Reliable DME signals can be received up to what range (line-of-sight altitude)?

Correct answer is – 199 NM

Q19. DME full form is?

Correct answer is – Distance measuring equipment

Q20. What is the function of the transponder in the DME system?

Correct answer is – To receive interrogation pulses and send a reply

Q21. What is the meaning of the term “slant range”?

Correct answer is – The straight-line distance between aircraft and station, including altitude

Q22. How often is the station identification (3-letter Morse code) transmitted by the DME ground station?

Correct answer is – Every 30 seconds

Q23. Why is slant range usually greater than actual ground distance?

Correct answer is – Because it includes altitude as well as horizontal distance

Q24. What is the equation used to calculate the slant range distance in DME?

Correct answer is – R = (T – 50) / 12.359

Q25. How long is the fixed beacon delay accounted for in DME calculations?

Correct answer is – 50 microseconds

Q26. What type of dose† DME provide to support RNAV systems?

Correct answer is – Very accurate slant range data for position fixing
