Charts and Publications/Collision Avoidance Flashcards
What information is contained in the Notices to Airman Publication (NTAP)
Current NOTAM (D) and FDC NOTAMs
When are blue and magenta colors used to depict airports on Sectional Aeronautical Charts?
Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are shown in blue
Information concerning parachute jumping sites may be found in the
Airport/Facility Directory
The letters VHF/DF appearing in the Airport/Facility Directory for a certain airport indicate that
the Flight Service Station has equipment with which to determine your direction from the station
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use
A series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector
During a night flight, you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
The other aircraft is crossing to the left
Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should
visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance
The best method to sue when looking for other traffic at night is to
look to the side of the object and scan slowly
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?
There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft
Most midair collision accidents occur during
clear days
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours
Peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off center viewing
What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?
Scan slowly to permit off center viewing
What procedure eis recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?
Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace
During a night flight, you observe a steady white light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
The other aircraft is flying away from you
What technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight?
systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals
