Enroute Flight Flashcards
What minimum pilot certification is required for operation within Class B airspace?
Pivate Pilot Certificate or Student Pilot Certificate with appropriate logbook endorsements.
What minumum pilot certification is required for operation within Class B airspace:
Private Pilot Certificate or Student Pilot Certificate with appropriate logbook endorsements.
What minimum radio equipment is required for VFR operation within Class B airspace?
Two-way radio communications equipment, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
A blue segmented circle on a Sectional Chart depicts which class airspace?
Class D.
Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as Class D airspace only:
When the associated control tower is in operation.
The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on:
The instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established.
When a control tower, located on an airport within Class D airspace, ceases operation for the day, what happens to the airspace designation?
The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation.
A non-tower satelite airport, within the same Class D airspace that is designated for the primary airport, requires radio communications be established and maintained with the:
Primary airport’s control tower.
Two way radio communication must be established with the Air Traffic Control facility having jurisdiction over the area prior to entering which class airspace (C, E, or G):
Class C.
Which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C airspace?
Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.
The vertical limit of Class C airspace above the primary airport is normally:
4,000 feet AGL.
The normal radius of the outer area of Class C airspace is:
20 nautical miles.
All operations within Class C airspace must be in:
An aircraft equipped with a 4096-code transponder with Mode C encoding capability.
Under what conditions may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport within Class C airspace?
The pilot must contact ATC as soon as practicable after takeoff.
What minimum radio equipment is required for operation within Class C airspace?
Two way radio communications equipment, a 4096 code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
Normal VFR operations in Class D airspace with an operating control tower require the ceiling and visibility to be at least:
1,000 feet and 3 miles.
Unless otherwise authorized, two-way radio communications with Air Traffic Control are required for landings or takeoffs:
At all tower controlled airports regardless of weather conditions.
The width of a federal airway from either side of the center line is:
4 nautical miles.
Unless otherwise specified, Federal Airways include the Class E airspace extending upward from:
1,200 feet above the surface up to and inluding 17,999 feet MSL.
With certain exceptions, Class E airspace extends upward from either 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL to, but does not include:
18,000 MSL.
Under what condition, if any, may pilots fly through a restricted area?
With the controlling agency’s authorization.
Flight through a restricted area should not be accomplished unless the pilot has:
Received prior authorization from the controlling agency.
What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area (MOA):
Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.
Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with:
All pilots.
Prior to entering an Airport Advisory Area, a pilot should:
Contact the local FSS for airport and traffic advisories.
Pilot’s flying over a national wildlife refuge are requested to fly no lower than:
2,000 feet AGL.
In which type of airspace are VFR flights prohibited?
Class A.
