CANADIAN ATPL SARON EXAM LATEST ACTUAL EXAMWhat is Variation? - ANSWER: Variation is related to the difference between true and
magnetic direction.
What is Deviation? - ANSWER: Deviation is the difference between magnetic and
compass direction.
What is Compass Deviation? - ANSWER: Compass Deviation is the difference
between magnetic direction and Compass direction. It is an error in the compass.
What is the calculation for calculating True, Magnetic and Compass Direction? -
ANSWER: Take the True Direction and add or subtract the Variation (East is
least/West is best). This will give you the Magnetic Direction.
Take the Magnetic Direction and add or subtract the Deviation (The compass
direction). This will give you the Compass Direction.
What is an Isogonal Line? - ANSWER: It is a line of constant variation.
What is an Agonic Line? - ANSWER: It is a line of zero variation.

1) What type of projection is it?
2) What is the scale? - ANSWER: 1) Lamberts Conformal Conic
2) Various
In terms of a Polar Stereographic Chart:
1) What type of projection is it?
2) What is the scale? - ANSWER: 1) Polar Stereographic Projection
2) Various
In terms of a Transverse Mercator:
1) What are Great Circle Tracks?
2) What are Rhumb Lines?
3) What are Meridians? - ANSWER: 1) Arcs - Curved towards the nearer pole.
2) Straight Lines
3) Straight Lines
In terms of a Lamberts Conformal Conic:

2) What are Rhumb Lines?
3) What are Meridians? - ANSWER: 1) Straight Lines
2) Arcs - Curved towards the equator
3) Straight Lines
In terms of a Polar Stereographic Projection:
1) What are Great Circle Tracks?
2) What are Rhumb Lines?
3) What are Meridians? - ANSWER: 1) Arcs - Concave towards the poles
,2) Arcs - Concave towards the poles
3) Straight Lines
1 Nautical Mile is:
1) In latitude?
2) In feet?
3) In Statute Miles? - ANSWER: 1) One Minute of Latitude
2) 6076' but usually rounded to 6000 or 6080
3) 1.15 Statute Miles
- ANSWER: 1) 3.77 liters approximately
2) 6.7 pounds
3) 7.5 pounds
1 pound per square inch (PSI) is approximately equal to _____ kPa. - ANSWER: 6.9
What is the One in 60 Rule? - ANSWER: "If you allow your aircraft to drift 1° off track
over a 60 nm distance then you will be 1 nm off your desired track"
Miles off = (Degrees off X Distance Flown) / 60
What is the Double Track Error Correction? - ANSWER: Will only work if you are less
than 1/2 way to your destination.
Double the drift angle to obtain heading change.
Once back on course (Time that you flew off course for) remove half the correction.
What is the Opening and Closing Angle Correction Method? - ANSWER: Will work
even when you're more than halfway to your destination.
Once you find your position, you must figure out your angle from both your
departure airport and destination.
Add both the angles to obtain your correction change. Maintain this heading to the
destination.
1) What is the Equation for Critical Point of the Point of Equal Time? (CP / PET)
, 2) And the time to this point? - ANSWER: 1) PET/CP = (Total Distance X GS return) /
(GS Continue + GS return)
2) Distance to Point / GS cruise
Becareful of winds, TAS and One-engine speeds
The Point of Equal Time or Critical Point in a Zero Wind condition will be located
_____.
In any wind condition the CP or PET will move _____. - ANSWER: 1) The midpoint
2) Into the wind
1) What is the equation for Point of No Return?
2) And the time to this point? - ANSWER: 1) PNR = ( F x GS outbound x GS return) /
( GS outbound + GS return)
2) Distance to the point / GS outbound
The greater the aircraft's fuel endurance the _____ the PNR will be to the
destination. This is true provided that the PNR __________ which is perfectly
possible.
PNR will be ______ with any wind and the distance will be greatest to the PNR in a
____ situation. - ANSWER: 1) Closer
2) Does not lie beyond the destination
3) Shortened
4) Calm wind

4) The height of the tropopause is 36,090'
5) In the lower Stratosphere, the temperature remains constant with increasing
altitude
