Module 3 - Airports and Airspace Flashcards
Runway 09 and 27 indicate that the runway is approximately orientated?
090 and 270 degrees magnetic.
What is a mandatory signs color?
Red
An Airport Beacon on during the day would indicate what?
The weather at the airport is less than VFR minimums. The airport is IRR.
A lighted heliport may be identified by a?
Green, Yellow, White, airport beacon.
To set the high intensity lights on medium intensity the pilot should click the microphone
Five times within five seconds
Which is the proper traffic pattern departure procedure to use at a pilot controlled airport?
Comply with any FAA traffic pattern established for that airport.
The recommended airport traffic pattern is?
45 to downwind
Wingtip vortices are created when
Developing lift
Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to
sink below the aircraft generating turbulence
Wake turbulence is the worst when the aircraft generating the wake turbulence is
Heavy, clean, and slow.
During a night flight you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light at the same altitude what is the direction of movement of the other aircraft?
The other aircraft is crossing to the left.
What is the most effective method for scanning for traffic during daytime hours?
A series of short regularly spaced eye movements focusing on 10 degrees at a time.
How can you tell if a aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?
There will be no apparent movement between you and the other aircraft.
When do most mid-air collision happen?
On clear days.
After landing at a controlled airport when should the pilot contract ground?
When advised by the tower to do so.
If instructed by ground control to taxi to runway 9 the pilot may proceed
To the next intersecting runway where further clearance is required.
The automatic terminal information (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of recorded information concerning
Noncontrol information in select high activity terminal areas.
The absence of the sky condition & visibility in an ATIS broadcast indicates
The ceiling is at least 5,000ft & visibility 5 miles.
Two-way radio communications required
Part Time Control Tower
When closed it becomes ‘E’ or ‘G’
Lateral dimensions based on instrument approach procedures.
Class Delta Airspace
Two-way radio communications required
Full time control tower
Usually a 20NM radius & 4,000 AGL
Class Charlie Airspce

ATC Light Gun Signals - Steady Red
Stop/Give way to other aircraft
ATC Light Gun Signals - Flashing Red

What is the minimum visibility for a pilot to receive a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance?
3 statute miles.
