Practice Test Two Wrong Answers Flashcards
Risk management, as part of the Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?
Risk management, as part of the Aeronautical Decision-Making process, relies on situational awareness, problem recognition and good judgment to reduce the risks associated with each flight.
(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 21, Area 1.) After receiving authorization from ATC to operate a small UA near Minot International airport (MOT) while the control tower is operational, which radio communication frequency could be used to monitor manned aircraft and ATC communications?
The radio frequency that sUAS operators can tune into to listen to manned aircraft chatter from incoming or outgoing pilots is called the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF).
The CTAF frequency is always going to be to the left of the circle C icon.
After locating the Minot International airport (MOT) icon on the chart, look for the airport information text next to the icon. Remember that in the testing supplement legend, you’re actually being told exactly where a lot of information is on the Sectional Chart.
In this example, the CTAF is 118.2, which also happens to be the Control Tower frequency. That’s why you’re seeing “CT” in the answer choice instead of “CTAF.”
What action should a pilot take when operating in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?
Military Operations Areas (MOAs) are established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic.
Each pilot is responsible for collision avoidance in a Military Operations Area (MOA).
Permission to fly in an MOA is not required, but pilots should exercise extreme caution.
The outer rings of Class C airspace are typically a:
Although Class C airspace can be different airport to airport, it generally consists of a 5 NM radius core surface area that extends from the surface up to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation, and a 10 NM radius shelf area (outer ring) that extends no lower than 1,200 feet up to 4,000 feet above airport elevation.
(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 78. Near the center of the figure.) What class of airspace is associated with SIOUX GATEWAY/COL DAY (SUX) Airport?
We know that SIOUX GATEWAY/COL DAY (SUX) Airport sits in Class D airspace because of the blue-dashed circle around the airport. Remember that Class D airspace always starts at the surface, and you can look at the number in the brackets to see what height the Class D airspace goes up to.
Refer to Figure 26, area 4.) A farmer wants you to fly a UAV over the land 3NM SE of Jamestown Rgnl (JMS) airport. What is the airspace?
After identifying where Jamestown Rgnl (JMS) airport sits, use the scale at the bottom of the chart excerpt to look 3NM southeast of the airport icon. You should notice that you’re still sitting within the magenta dotted lines, which indicate Class E airspace that starts at the surface.
(Refer to Figure 20) You’re asked to inspect the high-intensity lighted tower 12 statute miles SE of Lake Drummond. What’s the highest you’re allowed to fly under Part 107 (as long as you operate within 400 ft. of the tower at all times)
While the Part 107 regulations state a maximum altitude of 400 ft. AGL, you’re allowed to fly higher than that as long as you’re within 400 ft. of a tower / obstruction. You’re even allowed to fly up to 400 ft. over the topmost part of that tower. In this case, the high-intensity lighted tower 12 statute miles (SM) southeast (SE) of Lake Drummond is 1,036 ft. AGL. If you’re flying “as high as allowed under Part 107,” you’d be flying 1,036 ft. AGL + 400 ft., or 1,436 ft. AGL
(Refer to Figure 21, area 2.) What’s the minimum altitude / lowest elevation of the area depicted by the blue line labeled V15
The blue lines are Victor Airways. On a Sectional Chart, these show up as thick, faded blue lines that run between either two VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) stations, or a VOR and a VOR intersection.
Victor Airways are identified by a number, similar to an interstate highway. Victor Airways are always designated as Class E airspace and extend from a base of 1,200 ft. AGL up to 18,000 ft. MSL.
That’s why the minimum altitude / lowest elevation as asked in this question will be 1,200 ft. AGL
