Lesson 16

The correct method of stating 4,500 feet MSL to ATC is

"FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED."

When flying HAWK N666CB, the proper phraseology for initial contact with McAlester AFSS is...

"MC ALESTER RADIO, HAWK SIX SIX SIX CHARLIE BRAVO, RECEIVING ARDMORE VORTAC, OVER."

The correct method of stating 10,500 feet MSL to ATC is

"ONE ZERO THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED."

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...

1200

Unless otherwise authorized, if flying a transponder equipped aircraft, a pilot should squawk which VFR code?

1200

which of the following codes should be set for for VFR flight in Class E airspace?

1200, Mode A/3

It is the responsibility of the pilot and crew to report a near midair collision as a result of proximity of at least

500 feet or less to another aircraft

When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent selection of which codes?

7500, 7600, 7700

When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent selection of which codes?

7600. (7500: hijacking , 7600: lost communication , 7700: emergency , 7777: military interceptors)

The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours 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 (wingtip vortices sink below a/c producing them)

When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying

Above the large aircraft's final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft's touchdown point.

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?

Between directly ahead and 90º to the right.

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

The aeronautical information manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 ft day or night, and especially when operating

In conditions of reduced visibility. (Or within 10 miles of any airport)

At an altitude below 18,000 feet MSL, which transponder code should be selected?

Mode A/3, Code 1200.

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?

Northwest

How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?

Outward, upward, and around each tip. (Due to low pressure on top of wing and high pressure beneath it trying to get on top)

The most effective method of scanning for other a/c for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use

Peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off center viewing

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?

South

When landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance?

Stay above its final approach flightpath all the way to touchdown.

During a night flight, you observe steady red and green lights ahead at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

The other aircraft is approaching head-on.

During a night flight, you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

The other aircraft is crossing to the left. (Steady red is position light for left wing, steady green is position light for right wing and steady white on tail and flashing red is beacon on tail area)

During a night flight, you observe a steady white light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

The other aircraft is flying away from you. (Steady white=tail light , flashing red= beacon light)

With winds reported as from 300 degrees at 4 knots, you are given instructions to taxi to RWY 30 for departure and to expect to take off after an airliner, which is departing from 35L. What effect would you expect from the airliner's vortices?

The winds will push the vortices into your takeoff path

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. (Also if shows no lateral or vertical motion and increases in size, take evasive action)

When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft

above and upwind from the heavy aircraft

Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with

all pilots

Most midair collision accidents occur during

clear days.

Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is

developing lift (although prop or jet blast can be experience from behind when taxiing)

ATC advises, "traffic 12 o'clock," this advisory is relative to your

ground track

The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is

heavy, clean, and slow. (During HAOA and only occurs when plane producing lift)

The wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a

light, quartering tailwind ( it blows the vortices forward putting them further down the runway)

Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should

not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second

The wing tip 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.

Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should

visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance

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?
