Communications and Radar Services
Transmit intentions on 122.9 MHz when 10 miles out and give position reports in the traffic pattern.
(Refer to Figure 20, area 3.) What is the recommended communications procedure for a landing at Currituck County Airport?
122.9 MHz.
(Refer to Figure 21, area 2.) The CTAF/MULTICOM frequency for Garrison Airport is
127.25 MHz.
(Refer to Figure 25, area 3.) If Dallas Executive (RDB) Tower is not in operation, which frequency should be used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to monitor airport traffic?
Broadcast intentions when 10 miles out on the CTAF/MULTICOM frequency, 122.9 MHz.
(Refer to Figure 26, area 2.) What is the recommended communication procedure when inbound to land at Cooperstown Airport?
123.0 MHz.
(Refer to Figure 26, area 4.) The CTAF/UNICOM frequency at Jamestown Airport is
122.8 MHz.
(Refer to Figure 26, area 5.) What is the CTAF/UNICOM frequency at Barnes County Airport?
the ceiling is at least 5,000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or more.
Absence of the sky condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcast indicates that
Between directly ahead and 90° to the right.
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight: "TRAFFIC 2 O'CLOCK, 5 MILES, NORTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?
West.
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying north in a calm wind: "TRAFFIC 9 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?
South.
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying on a heading of 090°: "TRAFFIC 3 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, WESTBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?
Northwest.
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying on a heading of 360°: "TRAFFIC 10 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?
10 miles.
As standard operating practice, all inbound traffic to an airport without a control tower should continuously monitor the appropriate facility from a distance of
noncontrol information in selected high-activity terminal areas.
Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of recorded information concerning
safety alerts, traffic advisories, and limited vectoring to VFR aircraft.
Basic radar service in the terminal radar program is best described as
Ground control, on initial contact.
From whom should a departing VFR aircraft request radar traffic information during ground operations?
1200.
If Air Traffic Control advises that radar service is terminated when the pilot is departing Class C airspace, the transponder should be set to code
Airport Advisory Service.
If a control tower and an FSS are located on the same airport, which function is provided by the FSS during those periods when the tower is closed?
TRSA.
In what controlled airspace are you not required to contact ATC when flying in VMC?
contact the local FSS for airport and traffic advisories.
Prior to entering an Airport Advisory Area, a pilot should
sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft.
TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides
"ONE ZERO THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED."
The correct method of stating 10,500 feet MSL to ATC is
"FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED."
The correct method of stating 4,500 feet MSL to ATC is
ground track.
When an air traffic controller issues radar traffic information in relation to the 12-hour clock, the reference the controller uses is the aircraft's
"MC ALESTER RADIO, HAWK SIX SIX SIX CHARLIE BRAVO, RECEIVING ARDMORE VORTAC, OVER."
When flying HAWK N666CB, the proper phraseology for initial contact with McAlester AFSS is
7500.
When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent selection of which code?
7600.
When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent selection of which code?
7500, 7600, 7700.
When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent selection of which codes?
1200.
When operating under VFR below 18,000 feet MSL, unless otherwise authorized, what transponder code should be selected?
Mode 3/A code 1200.
When operating under VFR below 18,000 feet MSL, unless otherwise authorized, what transponder code should be selected?
7700.
Which transponder code should be used when in DISTRESS or for a general EMERGENCY?
121.5 MHz.
While on a VFR cross country and not in contact with ATC, what frequency would you use in the event of an emergency?
