17
Q

Traffic patterns

A

Landing strip indicators with traffic pattern indicator
Typically enter at midpoint of downwind, 45 degrees, 1000ft

18
Q

Radio equipment

A

VHF, line of sight, 118.0 - 136.975 MHz
720 or 760 channels in 0.025 spacing
Seven European countries use 8.33kHz channels

19
Q

ATC Primary radar

A

Range, direction, elevation
Degrades over distance, updates 4.7s

20
Q

ATCRBS

A

Secondary surveillance radar
Interrogator, transponder, radarscope
ADS-B same info but more accurate, faster, plus speed, direction

21
Q

ADS-B

A

Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast
Satellite based, more accurate, faster updates
Increase safety, traffic
Includes Traffic Information Services Broadcast
TIS-B
Flight Information Services Broadcast FIS-B
978MHz = Universal Access Transceiver
1090MHz = associated with Mode A, C, S transponder, extended squitter message

22
Q

Radar Traffic Advisories

A

For instrument flight plan and VFR
Safety alerts, traffic advisory, limited vector ING
Terminal radar services area TRSA

23
Q

Wake turbulence vortex strength

A

Function of weight, speed, wings, wake decay
Changes with configuration, flaps
Strongest when heavy, clean, and slow, in terminal area
En route, strong due to low density, speed
Remain wingspan apart, sink at several 100ft/min

24
Q

Vortex Avoidance

A

Same runway: Stay at or above large plane approach path, land beyond touch point
Parallel, less than 2500ft, same
Cross above flight path on crossing runway
Land (Take off) prior to departing planes rotating point
En route avoid below behind large aircraft

25
Q

Collision Avoidance

A

Before takeoff, climbs, descents, straight and level, traffic patterns, at VOR, training

26
Q

Pilot Deviations

A

Violating Federal Aviation Regulation, clearance
Only to avoid collision, respond to traffic alert
Ground Deviations during taxi, take off, landing

27
Q

Runway incursion Avoidance

A

Read back instructions
Review airport layout, signs
Review NOTAMs
Progressive taxi instructions
Check traffic, turn on lights
Clear active runway quickly

28
Q

ATC Line up and wait

A

Enter runway, no takeoff clearance
Issued while other plane is landing??

29
Q
