3.5: Visual Glide Slope Indicators

Question 1

When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall

Answer 1

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.

Question 2

A below glide slope indication from a pulsating approach slope indicator is a

Answer 2

pulsating red light.

Question 3

While operating in class D airspace, each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) shall

Answer 3

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope until a lower altitude is necessary for a safe landing.

Question 4

Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?

Answer 4

Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area.

Question 5

Each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) shall

Answer 5

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.

Question 6

(Refer to figure 47) Illustration A indicates that the aircraft is

Answer 6

on the glide path

Question 7

(Refer to figure 47) While on final approach to a runway equipped with a standard 2-bar VASI, the lights appear as shown by Illustration D. This means that the aircraft is

Answer 7

below the glide path.

Question 8

(Refer to figure 47) VASI lights as shown by Illustration C indicate that the airplane is

Answer 8

above the glide slope.

Question 9

Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?

Answer 9

Safe obstruction clearance in the area.

Question 10

A slightly high glide slope indication from a precision approach path indicator is

Answer 10

three white lights and one red light.
