Chapter 4.5 - Exam Review Flashcards
What does a double white cross displayed next to the primary wind direction indicator at a non-towered Aerodrome?
Gliding is in progress.
What is the significance of a horizontal white dumb-bell displayed adjacent to the primary wind direction indicator at a non-towered Aerodrome?
Restricted Operations.
True or False. If an Aerodrome is completely unserviceable, a single white cross will be displayed adjacent to the primary wind direction indicator at a non-towered Aerodrome?
True.
What is the significance of red flashes directed at an Aircraft on the ground at a Controlled Aerodrome?
The Aircraft must taxi clear of the landing area.
If an Aircraft is taxiing at an Aerodrome and a steady red light is directed at it from the tower, what action must the Pilot take?
Stop.
What is the significance of red flashes directed at an Aircraft on approach to land at an Aerodrome?
The Aerodrome is unsafe and the Pilot must not land.
If a sealed area beyond the end of the runway is not suitable for normal use by Aircrafts, its entire length is marked by (white/yellow) ‘vee bars’?
Yellow.
What type of markers indicate the limits of the movement area?
Cone/Gable Boundary Markers.
What is the meaning of a single white cross displayed on a runway or any other part of a movement area?
The Runway/Movement Area is unserviceable.
True or False. An Aerodrome apron can be left unmarked when the surface contrast defines the boundary?
True.
(Yellow/White) cones or gables are used to show the edges of any ill-defined taxiways or aprons?
Yellow.
On some larger runways, the beginning of that portion of the runway usable for landing, the (permanent threshold/centre-line) of the runway, is marked with (a dashed line/white piano key markings)?
- Permanent Threshold.
- White Piano Key Markings.
White ‘V’ markings or Vee-Bar markers are used to indicate that the runway threshold is (permanently/temporarily) displaced?
Temporarily.
Holding bay markings are painted (white/yellow)?
Yellow.
What is the purpose of ‘taxi-holding position markings’ at the taxiway/runway intersection and what colour are they (2)?
- Aircraft must stop short of the markings until cleared to proceed.
- Yellow.
An enlargement or special arrangement of a taxiway, positioned near the end of a runway, where Aircraft may hold without obstructing other Aircraft from using the taxiway is called a (holding bay/apron)?
Holding Bay.
When approaching to land at a non-towered Aerodrome, on which three legs of the circuit is a non-RPT flight recommended to join the traffic pattern?
- Upwind.
- Crosswind.
- Downwind.
What is the ‘standard’ circuit height for medium performance Aircrafts?
1000 feet AGL.
A runway is aligned along the magnetic direction of 169/349. What is the number normally given to the northern and southern ends of this runway (2)?
- 17 to the Northern end.
- 35 to the Southern end.
What is the only exception to getting permission from the owner/occupier prior to using a landing area?
In an emergency situation.
Who is responsible for assessing the suitability of a landing area prior to use for VFR private operations?
The Pilot.
True or False. VHF radio and qualification to use it are mandatory at registered and certified Aerodromes in Class G Airspace and in de-activated Control Zones?
True.
In de-activated Control Zones, what frequency normally becomes the CTAF frequency?
The Tower Frequency.
What boundary markers, when used to delineate aprons or taxiways at Aerodromes, are spaced at not more than (15/30) metres apart?
15.
