Default PSA Interview Questions

I have seen the gouge for the PSA interview written test and would like some help on some answers.

1) On a GPS approach how much sensitivity is required at FAWP?
2) A localizers angular area of operational service volume provides from blank to blank degrees either side of the course along a radius of 10 miles.
3)What are the flight time limits for domestic carrier 2 person crew?
4)What altitude do you cross the inner marker?
5)Distance between papallel runways?

Yeah, IM is the DH for whatever cat approach you are flying CAT I MM and IM are the same if 200 DH. At least that is what I thought!
