Airport Operations Flashcards
The numbers 8 and 26 on the approach ends of the runway indicate that the runway is orientated approximately
080 and 260 magnetic
Airport taxiway edge lights are identified at night by
blue omnidirectional lights
When approaching taxiway holding lines from the side with the continuous lines, the pilot
should not cross the lines without ATC clearance
How does a pulsating approach slope indicator illustrate an aircraft is below the glide slope?
With a pulsating red light
A lighted heliport may be identified by a
green, yellow, and white rotating beacon
What does a green, yellow, and white rotating beacon indicate?
A heliport
What is the recommended entry position to airport traffic pattern?
To enter 45 degrees at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude
How should VFR approaches to land at night be accomplished?
in the same manner as they are during the day
A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits
two quick, white flashes between green flashes
Two quick, white flashes between green flashes indicates what?
A military air station
what is the purpose of the runway/runway hold position sign?
It denotes intersecting runways
What denotes intersecting runways?
The runway/runway hold position sign
An on glide slope indication from a try-color VASI is
a green light signal
An above glide slop indication from a try-color VASI is
an amber light signal
HOw can a military airport be identified at night?
Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes
A below glide slop indication for a tri-color VASI is a
red light signal
What identifies direction to take-off runways?
The outbound destination sign
What does the outbound destination sign identify?
The direction of take-off runways
A slightly high glide slop indication from a precision approach path indicator is
three white lights and one red light
To set the high intensity ruway lights on medium intensity, the pilot should click the microphone seven times and then click it
five times within five seconds
The numbers 9 and 27 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately
