At each end and no more than 300m apart
Piano keys (threshold markings) number of stripes (4)
18m
On the ground, flashing red from Aldis lamp means
Taxi clear of runway

23m
What are one or more white crosses on the manoeuvring area?
Any area marked by a cross or crosses with the limit delineated (lined or marked) by markers is unfit for use by aircraft
In air, flashing green from Aldis lamp means
Return for landing
when is it appropriate to cruise in the transition layer?
Never, you either fly below transition altitude or above transition level.
When joining the circuit, what are 2 approaches that are legal but not recommended
Joining on base leg and on final.
If there is a squadron of jets and a approaching them is a 747, who has to give way?
The 747 has to give way to the squadron. Formations of aircraft are less manoeuvrable than single aircraft
what does VMC stand for?

60m
On the ground, flashing green from Aldis lamp means
Cleared to taxi
What colour are unserviceability cones?
White and red
What is the lowest height an acrobatics plane can descend to AGL?
3000ft
A student pilot is authorised to fly solo if they meet which two conditions
Hold an ARN and are 15 years old
Piano keys (threshold markings) number of stripes (12)
45m
Parafield tower when doing circuits
124.6
In air, steady green light from Aldis lamp means
Cleared to land
When two aircraft are on converging headings and approx same height, who has to give way?
The aircraft on the right has “right of way” and the aircraft which is on the left must “give way”
On the ground, white from Aldis lamp means
Return to starting point on airport
Parafield ground freq
119.9
On the ground, steady green from Aldis lamp means
Cleared for takeoff
In air, flashing red from Aldis lamp means
Unsafe and do not land
If there is a 747 on the runway preparing for takeoff and a Dash 8 in the air, who has to give way?
The aircraft on the ground has to give way. No matter the size, it is safe on the ground and must let aircraft in the air get down to ground safely
In air, steady red from Aldis lamp means
Give way and continue circling
Adelaide centre
130.45
In class D airspace, What is the minimum horizontal distance from cloud?
600m
When overtaking, how is the manoeuvre accomplished?
Aircraft being overtaken has to maintain speed and heading and is given right of way. The aircraft doing the overtaking has to pass on the right whether climbing, descending, or horizontal flight until no remaining risk of collision
An aircraft is deemed to be overtaking another aircraft if it is approaching where?
From the rear at an angle of 70 degrees or less, as measured either side of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft being overtaken
Parafield atis
120.9
in Class G airspace, over 10000’ AGL, what is the minimum visibility required?
8000m
Aircraft in the air and on the ground have to give way to each other when on converging tracks. There is an order of priority, what is it from highest priority to lowest?
Balloons, gliders, airships, aircraft in flight towing any object, powered heavier than air aircraft (planes and helicopters)
On the ground, steady red from Aldis lamp means
STOP
What do dumbbells next to the wind sock mean?
Use hard surfaces (sealed runways and taxiways and aprons only). Where an aerodrome has only gravel and natural surface runways, taxiways, and aprons, use gravel surfaces only
An aircraft is deemed to be overtaking another aircraft if it is approaching where?
From the rear at an angle of 70 degrees or less, as measured either side of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft being overtaken
