airport
The numbers 35 and 17 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately ?
350 and 170 degrees magnetic heading.
Where are airport signs explained?
AIM (Aeronautical Information Manual)
When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft
Above and upwind from the heavy aircraft
When approaching to land at an airport in class G airspace that does not have light signals or other visual markings, an airplane pilot must make
All turns to the left
The Runway Hold position sign denotes?
An entrance to a runway from a taxiway
Most midair collision accidents occur during
Clear days
What is the correct traffic pattern departure procedure to use at a non towered airport?
Comply with any FAA traffic pattern established for the airport.
What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?
Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace
A lighted heliport may be identified by a
Green, yellow, and white rotating beacon
The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is
Heavy clean and slow
What is the purpose for the runway hold position markings on the taxiway?
Identifies the location where you are supposed to stop short of the runway when you do not have ATC clearance on an airport with an operating control tower.
When turning onto a taxiway from another taxiway, the taxiway directional sign indicates what?
It indicates the designation and direction of taxiway leading out of the intersection.
What wind condition prolongs the hazards of wake turbulence on a landing runway for the longest period of time?
Light quartering tailwind
What does an ILS hold ground marking look like?
Like a yellow ladder laying across the runway
What is an effective way to prevent a collision hazard in the traffic pattern?
Maintain the proper traffic pattern altitude and continually scan the area.
An airport's rotating beacon operating during daylight hours indicates?
The ground visibility is less than 3 miles and/or the ceiling is less than 1000 feet.
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?
There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.
True or false. Entries into traffic patterns while descending create specific collision hazards and should be avoided.
True
A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits?
Two quick white flashes between green flashes
You have just landed at a towered airport and the tower tells you to contact ground when clear of runway. You are considered clear of runway when?
When all parts of the aircraft have crossed the hold line.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hour is to use
a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10 degree sector
Your flight takes you in the path of a large aircraft. In order to avoid the vortices, you should fly
above the flight path of the large aircraft
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying
above the large aircraft's final approach path and land beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point.
Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with
all pilots
Wing tip vortices are created only when an aircraft is
developing lift
Pilot should state their position on the airport when calling the tower for takeoff
from a runway intersection or the end of a runway.
The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10000 feet, day or night, and especially when operating
in conditions of reduced visibility
The wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a
light quartering tailwind
When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall?
maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope
A below glide slope indication from a pulsating approach slope indicator is a?
pulsating red light
Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to
sink below the aircraft generating turbulence
When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to
sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence
A slightly high glide slope indication from a precision approach path indicator is
three white lights and one red light
If instructed by ground control to taxi to runway 9, the pilot may proceed
to the next intersecting runway where further clearance is required.
Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should
visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance
After landing at a tower-controlled airport a pilot should contact ground control
when advised by the tower
Hold Position signs have what colors?
white inscription with a red backgound
