A

A narrower-than-usual runway can
create an illusion that the aircraft
is higher than it actually is, leading
to a lower approach.

33

create an illusion that the aircraft is
?

A

A wider-than-usual runway can
create an illusion that the aircraft is
lower than it actually is, leading to
a higher approach.

34
Q

the illusion that the aircraft is?

A

A downsloping runway can create
the illusion that the aircraft is lower
than it actually is, leading to a
higher approach.

A

An upsloping runway can create
the illusion that the aircraft is higher

37
Q

Class A Airspace
Height?
Width?

A

Class A airspace is generally the airspace from 18,000 feet
mean sea level (MSL) up to and including flight level (FL)
600, including the airspace overlying the waters within 12
nautical miles (NM) of the coast of the 48 contiguous states
and Alaska. Unless otherwise authorized, all operation in Class
A airspace is conducted under instrument flight rules (IFR).

38
Q

Class B Airspace
Height?
Width?

A

Class B airspace is generally airspace from the surface to
10,000 feet MSL surrounding the nation’s busiest airports in
terms of airport operations or passenger enplanements. The
configuration of each Class B airspace area is individually
tailored, consists of a surface area and two or more layers
(some Class B airspace areas resemble upside-down wedding
cakes), and is designed to contain all published instrument
procedures once an aircraft enters the airspace.

39
Q

Class C Airspace
Height?
Width?

A

Class C airspace is generally airspace from the surface to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation (charted in MSL) Although the configuration of each Class C area is
individually tailored, the airspace usually consists of a surface area with a five NM radius, an outer circle with a ten NM radius that extends from 1,200 feet to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation. Each aircraft must establish two-way radio communications with the ATC facility providing air traffic services prior to entering the airspace and thereafter must maintain those communications while within the airspace.

40
Q

Class D Airspace
Height?
Width?

A

Class D airspace is generally airspace from the surface to
2,500 feet above the airport elevation (charted in MSL)
surrounding those airports that have an operational control
tower. The configuration of each Class D airspace area is
individually tailored and, when instrument procedures are
published, the airspace is normally designed to contain the
procedures.

41
Q

Class E Airspace
Height?
Width?

A 
Sectional and other charts depict all locations of Class E airspace with bases below 14,500 feet MSL. In areas where charts do not depict a class E base, class E begins at 14,500 feet MSL.
In most areas, the Class E airspace base is 1,200 feet AGL. In many other areas, the Class E airspace base is either the surface or 700 feet AGL. Some Class E airspace begins at an MSL altitude depicted on the charts, instead of an AGL altitude.
Class E airspace typically extends up to, but not including, 18,000 feet MSL (the lower limit of Class A airspace). All airspace above FL 600 is Class E airspace.
42
Q

Class G Airspace
Height?
Width?

A

Uncontrolled airspace or Class G airspace is the portion of the airspace that has not been designated as Class A, B, C, D, or E. It is therefore designated uncontrolled airspace. Class G airspace extends from the surface to the base of the overlying Class E airspace. Although ATC has no authority or responsibility to control air traffic, pilots should remember there are visual flight rules (VFR) minimums that apply to Class G airspace.

43
Q

Middle marker: ~______ft from the runway. Indicates the approximate point where the GS meets the ________.
Usually _____ft above the touchdown zone elevation. Color?_____. Sound“.______”

A

Middle marker: ~3500ft from the runway. Indicates the approximate point where the GS meets the decision height.
Usually 200ft above the touchdown zone elevation. AMBER. “. - . -”

44
Q

Inner marker: between the MM and runway threshold. Indicates the point where the glide slope meets the ____ on a CAT II ILS approach. Color?____. Sound“_____”

A

Inner marker: between the MM and runway threshold. Indicates the point where the glide slope meets the DH on a CAT II ILS approach. WHITE. “. . .”

45
Q

For every dot deflection of the VOR CDI needle we are ____ FT / per ___off course

A

For every dot deflection of the VOR CDI needle we are 200 FT / NM off course

46
Q

What regulations apply concerning supplemental oxygen?

A

a) 12,500 - 14,000 ft MSL: crew must use supplemental oxygen after 30 minutes
b) 14,000 ft MSL - 15,000 ft MSL: crew must use supplemental oxygen continuously
c) above 15,000 ft MSL: crew and passengers must be provided with supplemental oxygen

47
Q

When is a transponder needed?

A

When in class C, B or A airspace,

above 10,000 feet or

within any 30 nm radius Mode C veil

48
Q

What information is always included in a holding clearance?

A
  • Direction of holding from the fix (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, S, NW)
  • Holding fix (may be omitted if previously transmitted in clearance limit)
  • Radial, course, bearing, airway or route on which the aircraft is to hold
  • Leg length in miles if DME or RNAV is to be used (specified in minutes on pilot request or if controller considers it necessary)
  • Direction of turns if holding pattern is nonstandard (left turns nonstandard)
  • Time to expect further clearance (EFC) and any pertinent additional delay information.
49
Q

What do you report to ATC when entering the hold?

A
  • Call sign
  • Fix
  • Altitude
  • Time
50
Q

How do you obtain an ifr clearance when you are not at an non-towered airport and the weather is blow vfr minimums?

A

Contact Flight Service station

51
Q

Who do you contact for clearance delivery if you are at a towered airport that does not have a specific clearance delivery frequency?

A

Ground Control
