3.7: Collision Avoidance and ADS-B Flashcards
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?
The other aircraft is crossing to the left.
During a night flight, you observe a steady white light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
The other aircraft is flying away from you.
During a night flight, you observe a steady red and green lights ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
The other aircraft is approaching head-on.
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?
There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.
Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should
not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use
a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sectors.
Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should
visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance.
What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?
Execute gentle banks left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use
peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.
Most mid-air collision accidents occur during
clear days.
Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with
all pilots
The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on the landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, and especially when operating
in conditions of reduced visibility.
It is the responsibility of the pilot and crew to report a near midair collision as a result of proximity of at least
500 feet or less of another aircraft.
ADS-B equipment is not required for aircraft in flight above 10,000 MSL.
while that flight is still being conducted below 2,500 ft. AGL.
Can aircraft without ADS-B Out equipment overfly Class C airspace?
Yes, but only in exceptional circumstances because flight over Class C airspace is not permitted without appropriate ADS-B equipment.
