The numbers 8 and 26 on the approach ends of the runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately
080 degrees and 260 degrees magnetic.
(Refer to Fg 48) What is the difference between area A and area E on the airport depicted?
“A” may be used for taxi and takeoff, “E” may be used only as an overrun.
(Refer to Fg 48) Area C on the airport depicted is classified as a
Closed runway.
(Refer to Fg 48) That portion of the runway identified by the Peter A may be used for
Taxiing and takeoff.

D
(Refer to Fg 65) Which sign is a designation and direction of an exit taxiway from a runway?
K
(Refer to Fg 65) Which sign identifies where aircrafts are prohibited from entering?
D
(Refer to Fg 65) (Refer to E) The sign is a visual clue that
Confirms the aircraft location to be on taxiway B
(Refer to Fg 65) (Refer to F) The sign conforms your position on
Runway 22
When approaching taxiway holding lines from the side with the continues lines, the pilot
Should not cross the lines without ATC clearance
What is the purpose of the runway/runway hold position sign?
Denotes intersecting runways.
What does the outbound destination sign identify?
Identifies direction to take-off runways.
When Turing onto a taxiway from another taxiway, what is the purpose of the taxiway directional sign?
Indicates designation and direction of taxiway leading out of an intersection.
What purpose does the taxiway location sign serve?
Identifies taxiway on which an aircraft is located.
The “yellow demarcation bar” marking indicates
Runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway.
From the flight deck, this marking confirms the aircraft to be
On a runway, about to clear.
(Refer to Fg 64) Which marking indicates a vehicle lane?
C
A lighted heliport maybe be identified by a
Green, yellow, and white rotating beacon.
A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits
Two quick whit classes between green flashes.
An airports rotating brain operated during daylight hours indicates
The weather at the airport located in Class D airspace is below basic VFR weather minimums.
How can a military airport identified at night?
Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes.
Airport taxiway edge lights are identifies at the night by
Bue omnidirectional lights.
To set high intensity runway lights on medium intensity, the pilot should click the microphone seven times, and then clock it
Five times within 5 seconds
(Refer to Fg 49) If the wind id as shown by the landing direction indicator, the pilot shucked land on
Runway 18 and expect a crosswind from the right.
(Refer to Fg 49) The arrows that appear on the end of the north/south runway indicate that the area
Cannot be used for landing, but may be used for taxiing and takeoff.
(Refer to Fg 49) Selct the proper traffic pattern and runway for landing
Right-hand traffic and runway 18.
(Refer to Fg 50) Which runway and traffic pattern should be used as indicated by the wind Coen in the segmented circle?
Left-hand traffic in Runway 36
(Refer to Fg 50) The segmented circle indicated that the airport traffic is
Left-hand for Runway 36 and right-hand for Runway 18
(Refer to Fg 50) The traffic patterns indicated in the segment circle have been arranged to avoid lights over an area to the
Southwest of the airport.
(Refer to Fg 50) The segmented circle indicates that a landing on Runway 26 will be a
Right-quartering headwind.
Which id the correct traffic pattern departure procedure to use at a noncontrolled airport?
Comply with an FAA traffic pattern established for the airport.
The recommended entry portion to an airport traffic pattern is
To enter 45 degrees at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude.
You are on approach to land on Runway 19 of a non-towered airport. You observe ripples on the southeast side of a small tale 3/4 mi. east of the airport. What is the most appropriate course of action?
Check the wind sock to determine the appropriate runway.
When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slop indicator (VASI), the pilot shall
Maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.
A below gild slope indication from a pulsating approach slip indicator is a
Pulsating red light.
Which operating in class D airspace, each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slop indicator (VASI) shall
Maintain an altitude at or above the glide slip until a lower altitude is necessary for a safe landing.
Which approach and landing object is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glide path of the VASI?
Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area
Each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slop inidicator (VASI) shall
Maintain and altitude at or above the glide slope.
(Refer to Fg 47) Illustration A indicates that the aircraft id
On the glide slope.
(Refer to Fg 47) While in final approach to a runway equipped with a standard 2-bar VASI, the lights appear as shown by illustration D. This means that the aircraft is
Below the glide path.
(Refer to Fg 47) VASI lights as shown by illustration C indicate that the airplane is
Above the glide slope.
Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glide path of the VASI?
Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area.
A slightly high glide slip indication from a precision approach path indicator is
3 white lights and one red one
Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is
Developing lift
Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft ten to
Sink below the aircraft generating turbulence
(Refer to Fg 48) With winds reported as from 300 degrees at 4 kts, you are given instructions to taxi to runway 30 for departure and to expect take off after an airliner, which is departing from runway 35L. What affect would expect from the airliner’s vortices?
The winds will push the vortices into your takeoff path.
When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircrafts are operating, one should be particularly alert t the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to
Sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence.
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying
Above the large aircrafts final approach path and landing beyond the large aircrafts touchdown point.
The wind condition that required maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a
Light, quartering tailwind.
How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?
Outwatds, upward and around each tip.
When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance?
Stay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown.
The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft id
Heavy, clean and slow.
