| How do LOW radio waves travel? | Long wavelengths which allow to travel over obscurations, follow curve of earth, known as "ground wave" |
| How do HIGH radio waves travel? | Short wavelengths, go from earth's surface to the sky and get reflected back to earth |

| Classes of NDBs: | - Locator- 15 NM - MH- medium high- 25 NM - H- high- 50 NM - HH- high high- 75 NM |
| Magnetic bearing: | The heading that points the plane directly to the NDB |

| Pilot induced VOR errors: | Careless tuning, turning in wrong direction, failure to check TO/FROM indicator, chasing CDI, reverse sensing |
| Maximum permissible error for VOR checks: | VOT/ dual: +/- 4 degrees Air: +/- 6 |
| Phases of VOR: | Reference: Beacon Variable: Spins Measures distance/ time between the two |
| What does each dot represent on the deviation scale for VOR? | 2 degrees deviation |

| DME | Distance Measuring Equipment |
| VORTAC? | A VOR and a tactical air navigation system which measures distance through AZIMUTH |
| How does the pilot know if the DME transmitter has failed in a VOR/DME? | Morse Identifier for DME goes once every 30 seconds it has failed |
| Pitot Static Instruments: | Altimeter, VSI, Airspeed |
