3.7 Collision avoidance

Question 1

during a night flight, you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft

Answer 1

the other aircraft is crossing to the left

Question 2

During a night flight you observe steady white light and a flashing red light and at the same altitude what is general direction of movement of the other aircraft

Answer 2

the other aircraft is flying away from you

Question 3

during a night flight you observe steady red and green lights ahead and at the same altitude. what is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft

Answer 3

the other aircraft is approaching head on

Question 4

how can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft

Answer 4

there will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft

Question 5

eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should

Answer 5

not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second

Question 6

the most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use

Answer 6

a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector

Question 7

prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should

Answer 7

visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance

Question 8

what procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway

Answer 8

execute gentle banks left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace

Question 9

the most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use

Answer 9

peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing

Question 10

most midair collision accidents occur during

Answer 10

clear days

Question 11

responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with

Answer 11

all pilots

Question 12

the aeronautical information manual (aim) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 ft, day or night, and especially when operating

Answer 12

in conditions of reduced visibility

Question 13

it is the responsibility of the pilot and crew to report a near midair collision as a result of proximity of at least

Answer 13

500 ft or less to another aircraft

Question 14

ADS-B equipment is not required for aircraft in flight above 10,000 ft MSL

Answer 14

while that flight is still being conducted below 2,500 ft AGL

Question 15

can aircraft without ADS-B out equipment overfly class C airspace

Answer 15

yes, but only in exceptional circumstances because flight over class C airspace is not permitted without appropriate ADS-B equipment

Question 16

ADS-B equipment offers many benefits to pilots; however, the range of coverage for air traffic controllers is

Answer 16

often better than radar, even in remote areas

Question 17

any airspace that requires the use of a transponder also requires aircraft to be

Answer 17

equipped with specific ADS-B Out equipment

Question 18

onboard ADS-B Out equipment is useful to pilots and ATC controllers

Answer 18

all the time, even when aircraft are positioned on the airport surface

Question 19

when should ADS-B equipment be operated on the ground while taxiing

Answer 19

all the time when on the airport surface
