OGRAD 09.03 - DECCA Navigation System ( ATPL Only)

Results

Q1. In relation to Decca ground transmitters, hyperbolic position lines are lines on which all points will always have the same:

difference in signal amplitude from both

range from both

difference in range from both

phase angle from both signals

difference in range from both

Q2. DECCA is

A short range hyperbolic navigation system, operating at Low frequencies

Using airborne equipment measuring phase difference between two received carrier waves, and is operating at Medium frequencies

Is a low frequency hyperbolic navigation system, being very accurate and based on measuring the difference in time of arrival of two pulses, one from a master and the other from a slave station.

A long range hyperbolic navigation system, based on measuring the phase difference of carrier waves

A short range hyperbolic navigation system, operating at Low frequencies
