What is the highest point on an airports usable runway
Airport elevation

What visibility is required for a contact approach
One statute mile
What weather is required to hold short of the ILS critical area
800 & 2
What direction is a standard holding pattern
Right turns
What is the standard holding speed 6000 feet and below

What is the holding time for a standard hold above 14,000 feet
1+30 minutes
What is an LDA approach
A non-precision approach similar to a localizer
Alignment with the runway can be up to 30° off
What is an SDF approach
A non-precision instrument approach similar to an ILS but may be offset by 3°
The course may be wider than a standard ILS localizer
What is a clue that an approach is a circling approach
It has a letter instead of a number for example VOR-A
How much obstacle clearance does a circling MDA provide
300 feet
What weather is required for a visual approach
1000 & 3
Can an AWOS be used as an authorized weather source if the visibility is missing
No
