Airports, Air Traffic Control, and Airspace Flashcards
During a takeoff made behind a departing large jet airplane, the pilot can minimize the hazard of wingtip vortices by
Being airborne prior to reaching the jet’s flightpath until able to turn clear of its wake.
To avoid possible wake turbulence from a large jet Aircraft that has just landed prior to your takeoff, at which point on the runway should you plan to become airborne?
Past the point where the jet touched down.
What the primary hazard of wake turbulance ?
Loss of control because of induced roll.
To conduct LAHSO a pilot should have readily available
runway slope information.
When approaching to land at an airport with an ATC facility, in Class D airspace, the pilot must establish communications prior to…
4 NM, up to and including 2,500 feet AGL.
Excluding Hawaii, the vertical limits of the Federal Low Altitude airways extend from…
1,200 feet AGL up to, but not including, 18,000 feet MSL.
At some airports located in Class D airspace where ground visibility is not reported, takeoffs and landings under special VFR are
authorized by ATC if the flight visibility is at least 1 SM.
When operating an airplane for the purpose of takeoff or landing within Class D airspace under special VFR, what minimum distance from clouds and what visibility are required?
Remain clear of clouds, and the ground visibility must be at least 1 SM.
When approaching to land at an airport without an operating control tower, in Class G airspace, the pilot should…
make all turns to the left, unless otherwise indicated.
To operate an airplane under SPECIAL VFR (SVFR) within Class D airspace at night, which is required?
The pilot must hold an instrument rating, and the airplane must be equipped for instrument flight.
The radius of the uncharted Outer Area of Class C airspace is normally…
20 NM.
The ‘yellow demarcation bar’ marking indicates
runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway.
When operating a U.S.-registered civil aircraft, which document is required by regulation to be available in the aircraft?
A current, approved Airplane Flight Manual.
