Question 1

All altitudes

Answer 1

Are MSL unless in parenthesis or say AGL

Question 2

Surface based E airspace (dashed box)

Answer 2

Surface ti 18,000ft

Question 3

Dot in airport symbol

Answer 3

VOR/VORTAC location approximation

Question 4

Services

Answer 4

Magenta airport with bars on it, or D airspace up to B.

Question 5

Mode C

Answer 5

A, B, C, above C, above 10,000ft, within the “vail”.

For class C, 20 miles from center of the runway complex we can make two way radio comms (MUST when within)

For class B, must clear you to enter. Communication is established when they repeat to your tail number. MUST GET CLEARANCE and will give a transponder code to squawk

TRSA - terminal radar service area: extra set of eyes that is not mandatory but highly recommended. Must abide by their directions if used

Tabulated data on back of chart gives altitudes (and times) for special and restricted airspaces. Restricted requires a clearance.
R - restricted (clearance needed)
P - prohibited
A - alert (no comms needed)
W - warning (no comms needed, not always US property)

TFR = temporary flight restriction (disaster relief area example - clearance if giving aid, otherwise nobody is alloweddddd)

Question 6

Delta airspace

Answer 6

Goes up to 2500AGL, displayed as MSL on chart (altitude of ceiling could increase)

Question 7

Weather minimums VFR takeoff

Answer 7

B, C, D, E :

• cloud ceiling 1000ft AGL for takeoff and landing (clouds reported AGL!!!)
• flying in: 3sm vis, 500ft below, 1000ft above, 2000ft horizontal of clouds

Special VFR: DOD 1/2 SM, clear of clouds, 300ft ceiling min

E airspace above 10,000ft:
- 5SM vis, 1000ft above, 1000ft below, 1SM horizontal

• • distances in visibility given as SM, whereas distances traveled are NM usually. (Watch conversions)
• • Clouds ALWAYS given in AGL unless you ask a tower, etc.

Question 8

Wildlife refuge

Answer 8

See chart, but normally request 2,000ft AGL and above for aircraft

Question 9

Oxygen requirements

Answer 9

Above 10,000ft to 12,000ft can operate without oxygen for 60 minutes

12,000ft to 14,000ft, can operate without oxygen on board for 30 minutes.

Above 14,000ft, must have oxygen for all crew/passengers

Question 10

VFR cruising requirment

Answer 10

3000ft AGL rule for directional flight:

• Eastward 3500, 5500, 7500, etc
• Westward 4500, 6500, 8500, etc

Question 11

Weather brief is void

Answer 11

1 hour and 30 minutes from time forecast is received

Destination weather minimums (clouds, vs) must be equal to or greater than VFR minimums for ETA plus an hour

PLUS AN HOUR!!!!

Question 12

Answer 12

Rotating beacon

Question 13

DD 175

Answer 13

Military flight plan

Fuel listed as TIME aircraft can stay aloft
