7. A transverse white stripe on a runway is associated with a:
a. closed runway.
b. runway which is 2400 metres or longer.
c. displaced threshold.
d. runway available for circling to land approaches.

c. 52 m or more but less than 65 m.
d. 24 m or more but less than 36 m.
c. 52 m or more but less than 65 m.
10. The stopway is a defined rectangular area on the ground at the end of the take-off run available which is prepared as a suitable area:
a. to stop an aircraft after a rejected take-off.
b. to stop a landing aircraft in case of an emergency.
c. to stop a starting or landing aircraft.
d. to stop a landing aircraft if it overshoots the runway.
a. to stop an aircraft after a rejected take-off.
11. An area defined about the extended runway centre line and adjacent to the end of the strip, primarily intended to reduce the risk of damage to an aircraft undershooting or overrunning the runway is defined as a:
a. clearway.
b. runway strip extension.
c. runway end safety area.
d. altimeter operating area extension.
a. clearway.
12. What is the width of a code letter D taxiway used by aircraft with an outer main gear wheel span of less than 9 m?
