Question 6

11. 06 When confronted with an approaching thunderstorm, a take-off or landing
    (1) should be avoided as a sudden wind shift or low level turbulence could cause a loss of control.
    (2) is safe if you can see under the thunderstorm through to the other side.
    (3) should be avoided unless the take-off can be made away from the thunderstorm.
    (4) is safe of the thunderstorm is regarded as “light”.

Answer 6

1

Question 7

11. 07 An isolated thunderstorm is in close proximity to your aerodrome of intended landing. You should
    (1) land giving due consideration to wind shear on final approach.
    (2) hold over a known point clear of the thunderstorm until it is well past the aerodrome.
    (3) land as quickly as possible.
    (4) add one-half the wind gust factor to the recommended landing speed and land.

Answer 12

1

Question 13

11. 13 At the request of the pilot, VHF direction finding stations normally provide a homing service
    (1) only in Class B airspace.
    (2) only after declaration of an emergency on 121.5 MHz.
    (3) on the approach control frequency.
    (4) on a pre-selected tower or FSS frequency.

Answer 13

Question 14

11. 14 VDF steers are intended to provide directional assistance to VFR flights
    (1) in times of difficulties.
    (2) on routine navigational trips.
    (3) cleared for Special VFR.
    (4) in uncontrolled airspace.

Answer 14

1

Question 15

11. 15 You are uncertain of your position and have requested a VDF steer to an airport. You should be aware that
    (1) avoiding other traffic is your responsibility but terrain clearance will be provided.
    (2) avoiding other traffic and terrain clearance is your responsibility.
    (3) traffic avoidance and terrain clearance will be provided.
    (4) traffic avoidance will be provided but terrain clearance is your responsibility.

Answer 15

Question 16

11. 16 ATC advises that simultaneous operations are in progress at an airport. Pilots could expect a clearance to
    (1) take off over top of an aircraft on an intersecting runway.
    (2) take off on a specified parallel runway.
    (3) land and hold short of an intersecting runway.
    (4) land on a specified parallel runway.

Answer 16

Question 17

11. 17 When issued a clearance to land and hold short of an intersecting runway, pilots
    (1) shall comply regardless of the circumstances.
    (2) may taxi across the intersection after the departing or arriving aircraft has cleared their path.
