Two lines indicate side u need to hold on, cant go until u have ATC clearance, they can have centerline markings 150ft before runway holding position to say stop in 150ft..

Q

If no segmented circle

A

Traffic patterns will be on runway’s end

20
Q

Segmented circle

A

Means no need for operating tower, consists of wind direction indicator, traffic pattern indicator, segmented circle, landing strip indicator, landing direction indicator, on the landing strip indicator the long leg is the runway, the short leg is what turn u need to make to land in that direction, and there r two bc u need to turn into the wind, u want to land the same direction as the windsock goes from big to small

21
Q

Segmented circle parts

A

Acts as centralized point for other parts

22
Q

Traffic pattern indicator

A

X = runway closed, double arrow means only taxi/takeoff

23
Q

VASI

A

Visual approach slope indicators (lights for descent), two barred tier lights

24
Q

Glide path

A

Stay above until instructed to go lower, red always means low, white high, PAPI vs VASI, PAPI scale is 2.5-3.5, it provides obstruction clearance

25
Q

Wing tip vortices

A

Create wake turbulence during lift

26
Q

Greatest vortex strength when aircraft is

A

Heavy, clean, slow

27
Q

Flying near big jets

A

It affects your flight path/ drifts into downwind so dont fly below them and fly upwind

28
Q

Most dangerous wind

A

Light quartering wind, will push vortices into ur tailwind zone even in perfect takeoff

29
Q

Civilian transponder types

A

A,C, S selective

30
Q

Transponder type A

A

Gives ATC 4 dig squawk code (1200 normal VFR code (visual flight rules) to tell ATC ur not following air traffic, 7777 military interceptor, 7600 lost radio comms, 7700 emergency, 7500 hijack)

31
Q

Transponder type C

A

Gives squawk code + alt in 100ft increments to IRF interrogating radar facility, MUST set to transponder reply type C by setting function switch to alt unless ATC says otherwise, (use when above 10k ft MSL (unless 10ft MSL and less than 2.5k AGL), within 30 NM of B airport, within/above C airspace, or in ADIZ area, Air Defense Identification Zone)

32
Q

Transponder type S selective

A

Allows for TIS and TACAS (TCAS), traffic info system, traffic alert and collision avoidance system, meant for air traffic, no squawk but indiv call sign + permanent unit code, sends to TACAS, SSR, and ADS-B, secondary surveillance radar, received ground-based radar info for collision avoidance

33
Q

ATIS

A

automatic terminal info eervuce, non continous broadcast of non control info in high terminal areas (busy airports), essential but routine

34
Q

Atis includes

A

Weather report/active runways

35
Q

Atis forsnt include

A

Doesnt mention ceilings above 5k ft, or visibility past 5 SM

36
Q

After landing contact ground control when

A

Instructed by tower

37
Q

When cleared to taxi to the tunway

A

U can take other taxiways but not other runways

38
Q

When cleared to a runway

A

Ur not cleared for the runway j the runway runup, u have to wait for “lineup and wait”, u can then go on AR active runway, but have to notify tower ur ready for takeoff by telling them ur location (current runway + intersection)

39
Q

when under 10k ft

A

use landing lights to avoid crashes

40
Q

when changing/making flight plan w FFS (flight service station)

A

say the FFS and radio (Avery Radio)

41
Q

traffic information services

A

gives traffic advisories for other plane’s locations using clock places, 3 is off right wing, 9 is off left wing, direction of other plane is told in miles, w altitude, w heading direction, told in ground position not heading bc its no wind condition

42
Q

when radio fails, tower can can communicate via lights

A

in day, respond by rocking wings, at night respond via lights, stay above air traffic pattern unitl u determine the flow of traffic and then u can join the traffic pattern and wait to see lights from the tower

43
Q

radio fails lights meaning on the ground

A

red/green=warning/beware, green=cleared for takeoff, flashing green=cleared to taxi, red=stop, flashing red= fuck off the runway is in use, flashing white= return to standing point on airport

44
Q

radio fails lights meaning in the air

A

red/green= beware, green= cleared to land, flashing green= return for landing, red= do not land and give way to another aircraft, no flashing white here, flashing red=not safe to land

45
Q

LAHSO

A

Land and hold short of runway/taxiway/intersection, used at airports w tower to inc capacity/dec traffic, before LAHSO make sure u can land in the ALD (available landing distance), dont do if u have a PPL, u can only LAHSO w a ceiling of 1k or more and visibility of 3 SM or more bc u need VFR conditions to see other aircraft

46
Q

ALD

A

Available landing distance info is in special notes section of chart supplements but u can ask ATC for it
