TC Exam Practice Questions Flashcards
A Control Zone is:
Controlled airspace about an airport that extends upward, vertically from the surface to 3,000 feet AGL.
No person shall, walk, drive or park a vehicle on any part of an uncontrolled aerodrome used for the movement of aircraft except in accordance with permission given by
The operator of the aerodrome.
When two aircraft are converging at approximately the same altitude, the aircraft that has the other on its right shall give way excepting that:
Power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft shall give way to airships, gliders and balloons.
When two aircraft are approaching ~head-on and there is danger of collision, each pilot shall
alter heading to the right.
Except as provided by CARs, unless taking off, landing or attempting to land, no person shall fly an helicopter over a built-up area or over any open air assembly of persons at an altitude that is not lower than _____ above the highest obstacle within a radius of _____ from the aircraft.
What if there is an emergency?
1,000 feet, 500 feet.
Must be operated high enough to conduct an emergency landing safely away from people and buildings.
Fuel at commencement of any day VFR flight shall be sufficient for:
anticipated wind and other weather conditions
Fly to destination + 20 min at normal cruising speed.
The signal to an aircraft in flight which means “give way to other aircraft and continue circling” is
a steady red light.
An aircraft is in level cruising VFR flight above 3,000 feet AGL in Class E airspace. As the track is 315°, what should be the cruising altitude?
even thousand plus 500’
Weather minima for VFR flight in a Control Area is
3 miles visibility
Distance from cloud:
500’ vertical
1 mile horizontal
When in VFR flight within an “Altimeter Setting Region”, the altimeter should be set to
the current altimeter setting of the nearest station along the route of flight.
Runways in Southern Domestic Airspace are numbered to indicate runway bearing in degrees _____.
magnetic.
When to contact ATC?
Pilot on a VFR flight operating within a Class C terminal control area and transiting through control zone
Only when transiting the associated Control Zone
The manoeuvring area of an aerodrome is the area
used for taxiing, taking off and landing.
The East end of a runway oriented east and west is numbered
27
If a heading of 250° maintains your outbound track of 242°, the required heading to maintain the reciprocal track back to your departure point would be
054°
Where a VFR flight plan has been filed and no search and rescue time has been specified in the flight plan, the pilot-in-command shall report the arrival to the appropriate ATS unit not later than
1 hour after the last reported ETA
The reported ceiling is 1,000 feet broken and visibility is 4 miles. To remain VFR, an aircraft cleared to the circuit must join
at 500 feet below cloud base
One minute of latitude (dashes on vertical lines on VNC chart) is equal to
1 nautical mile
Relative humidity is the
amount of moisture present compared to the amount the air could hold at that temperature and pressure
Advection fog forms when:
moist air moves from a warm surface to a colder surface
(i.e. surface contact of horizontal winds)
In the northern hemisphere, the winds blow
clockwise around a high
counter-clockwise around a low
During a descent from 2,000 feet AGL to the surface, you will usually find that the wind
backs and decreases
An aircraft flying an approach into a strong head wind encounters a sudden tailwind near the ground. The wind shear hazard to be expected is a sudden
decrease in airspeed and loss of lift.
The conditions required for the formation of thunderstorms are
unstable air, high humidity and a lifting force
