SU9: Navigation: Charts and Publications

Question 1

Which sources of aeronautical information, when used collectively, provide the latest status of airport conditions (e.g., runway closures, runway lighting, snow conditions)?

Answer 1

Chart Supplement and Distant (D) NOTAMs.

(AIM Para 5-1-3) ( ? )
The latest status of airport conditions can be determined by using the Chart Supplement for items that have been known for some time and distant NOTAMs (D), which contain the most up-to-date data.

Question 2

When operating between 3,000 AGL-18,000 MSL, On any magnetic course of 0° thru 179° cruising altitude should be odd or even?

Answer 2

odd + 500

3,500, 5,500 or 7,500

Question 3

When operating between 3,000 AGL-18,000 MSL, On any magnetic course of 180° thru 359° cruising altitude should be odd or even?

Answer 3

even + 500

4,500, 6,500 or 8,500

Question 4

What procedure could a pilot use to navigate under VFR from one point to another when ground references are not visible?

A. VFR is not allowed in these circumstances.

B. Pilotage.

C. Dead reckoning.

Answer 4

C. Dead reckoning.
Answer (C) is correct. (FAA-H-8083-25B Chap 16) ( ? )
Dead reckoning is navigation solely by means of computations based on time, airspeed, distance, and direction. If ground references are not visible, such as when flying over water, dead reckoning can be used to navigate.

Question 5

Which is true concerning the blue and magenta colors used to depict airports on Sectional Aeronautical Charts?

A. Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are shown in blue.

B. Airports with control towers underlying Class A, B, and C airspace are shown in blue; Class D and E airspace are magenta.

C. Airports with control towers underlying Class C, D, and E airspace are shown in magenta.

Answer 5

A. Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are shown in blue.

Answer (A) is correct. (ACUG) ( ? )
On sectional charts, airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, E, or G airspace are shown in blue. Airports with no control towers are shown in magenta.

Question 6

FAA advisory circulars containing subject matter specifically related to Airspace are issued under which subject number?

A. 90

B. 70

C. 60

Answer 6

B. 70

Answer (B) is correct. (www.faa.gov) ( ? )
FAA advisory circulars are numbered based on the numbering system used in the Federal Aviation Regulations:

60 – Airmen (6 number of man)

70 – Airspace (7-heaven = airspace)

90 – Air Traffic and General Operating Rules
