Aim section 3

31
Q

Runway Incursion

A

-Prevention:
-Have the taxi diagram out and available(Hotspots
along route)
-Read back instructions in full
-Write down instructions
-Practice sterile cockpit
-Familiarized yourself with airport layout, markings,
and signs
-Tune to tower frequency in runup area to gain
situational awareness of runway activities

32
Q

Loss of Communications Procedure

A

-Troubleshoot!
-Check radio on
-Check volume and squelch
-Check Headset plug connection
-Check Frequency
-Request Radio Check
-Go back to previous frequency if Applicable
-While in Controlled Airspace, Squawk 7600
-Landing at a towered airport
-Stay above the traffic pattern altitude and circle
while observing the traffic flow and looking out for
other traffic
-Wait for ATC light gun signals
-Rock your wings(day) or flash landing light(night) in
acknowledgement
-Follow Instructions and land when cleared
-If Uncontrolled, land as soon as practicable

33
Q

Light Gun Signals

A

-Steady Green: Ground- Cleared for Takeoff, Air- Cleared to land
-Flashing Green: Ground- Cleared for Taxi, Air- Return for landing
-Steady Red: Ground- STOP!, Air- Give way to other aircraft and continue circling
-Flashing Red: Ground- Taxi clear of runway in use, Air- Airport unsafe, do not land
-Flashing White: Ground- Return to starting point on airport, Air- N/A
Alternating Green/Red: USE EXTREME CAUTION

34
Q

Awake Turbulence Avoidance

A
  • Wake Turbulence(Wingtip vortices) slowly descend behind the aircraft
  • On takeoff roll, rotate prior to where the aircraft ahead rotated
  • On landing, stay above the flight path of the aircraft ahead and land beyond where the aircraft has touched down
35
Q

Wind Shear Avoidance

A

Wind shear: Sudden changes in wind speed and/or direction

  • Low level wind shear
  • Increase the takeoff/approach speed to account for wind shear
