Lighting Flashcards
(Refer to Figure 91.) What lighting is indicated on the chart for Jackson Hole Airport?
Pilot controlled lighting.
(Refer to Figure 134.) Unless a higher angle is necessary for obstacle clearance, what is the normal glide path angle for a 2-bar VASI?
3.00*.
Which of the following indication would a pilot see while approaching to land on a runway served by a 2-bar VASI?
If departing to the high side of the glidepath, the far bars will change from red to white.
The middle and far bars of a 3-bar VASI will
constitute a 2-bar VASI for using the upper glidepath.
Tricolor Visual Approach Indicators normally consist of
a single unit, projecting a three-color visual approach path.
When on the proper glide path of a 2-bar VASI, the pilot will see the near bar as
white and the far bar as red.
When conducting a non-precision approach, the pilot reaches the missed approach point and observes that all three bars of a 3-bar VASI are red. The pilot should
level off momentarily to intercept the proper approach path.
Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?
Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area.
(Refer to Figure 135.) Unless a higher angle is required for obstacle clearance, what is the normal glide path for a 3-bar VASI?
3.0*.
Which type of runway lighting consists of a pair of synchronized flashing lights, one on each side of the runway threshold?
REIL.
The primary purpose of runway end identifier lights, installed at many airfields, is to provide
rapid identification of the approach end of the runway during reduced visibility.
(Refer to Figure 210.) Which runway and landing environment lighting is available for approach and landing RWY 6 at Bradley International?
ALSF2 and HIRL.
(Refer to figure 169.) What lighting equipment installed for RWY 33 at ADS is designed to help locate the runway, which is surrounded by a preponderance of other lights?
REIL.
