Answer A is correct.Fig. 77 is the Chart Supplement excerpt for Pierre Regional Airport. Look for the section titled "Weather Data Sources." In that line, you will see "HIWAS." This is the Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service frequency, 112.5 MHz. It is also located on Fig. 76 in the Pierre VOR frequency and identifier box. It is depicted by the "H" within a darkened circle in the top right corner of the box.

Who should not participate in the Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) program? A.Student pilots. B.Recreational pilots only. C.Military pilots.

Answer A is correct.LAHSO take place at some airports with an operating control tower in order to increase the total capacity and improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not use the full length of the runway, but rather that (s)he stop and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. Student pilots or pilots who are not familiar with LAHSO should not participate in the program.

Who has final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance? A.Pilot in command. B.Second in command. C.Air Traffic Controller.

Answer A is correct.Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) take place at some airports with an operating control tower in order to increase and improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not use the length of the runway, but rather that (s)he stop and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. LAHSO requires familiarity with the available landing distance (ALD) for given LAHSO combinations and with the landing performance of the aircraft. The pilot in command has the final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short clearance.

Which statement about longitude and latitude is true? A.Lines of longitude cross the Equator at right angles. B.Lines of longitude are parallel to the Equator. C.The 0° line of latitude passes through Greenwich, England.

Answer A is correct.Lines of longitude are drawn from the north pole to the south pole and cross the equator at right angles. They indicate the number of degrees east and west of the 0° line of longitude, which passes through Greenwich, England.

If given a landing clearance on runway 16 and told to hold short runway 6, how can a pilot determine the available landing distance? A.Ask the controller. B.Use rule of thumb to determine the distance. C.The full runway length is available.

Answer A is correct.To conduct land and hold short operations (LAHSO), pilots should have readily available the published Available Landing Distance (ALD) and runway slope information for all LAHSO runway combinations at each airport of intended landing. If the controller gives a LAHSO clearance and the pilot is unsure of the landing distance available, (s)he can always ask the controller. The controller will provide the exact distance available in feet.

At Sioux Gateway/Col Day (N42°24.16' W96°23.06'), which frequency should be used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to self-announce position and intentions when the control tower is closed? A.119.45 MHz. B.118.7 MHz. C.122.95 MHz.

Answer B is correct.Fig. 79 is the Chart Supplement excerpt for Sioux Gateway/Col Day Airport. Look for the section titled "Communications." On that same line, it states that the CTAF frequency is 118.7 MHz. It is also located on Fig. 78in the Sioux Gateway Airport Data Description, indicated by a "C" surrounded by a shaded blue circle.

When should pilots decline a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance? A.Pilots cannot decline clearance. B.When it will compromise safety. C.Only when the tower operator concurs.

Answer B is correct.Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) take place at some airports with an operating control tower in order to increase the total capacity and improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not use the full length of the runway, but rather that (s)he stop and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. LAHSO requires familiarity with the available landing distance (ALD) for given LAHSO combinations and with the landing performance of the aircraft. Pilots are expected to decline a land and hold short clearance if they determine that it will compromise safety.

Who has final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance? A.Second-in-command. B.Pilot in command. C.Owner/operator.

Answer B is correct.Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) take place at some airports with an operating control tower in order to increase the total capacity and improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not use the full length of the runway, but rather that (s)he stop and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. LAHSO requires familiarity with the available landing distance (ALD) for given LAHSO combinations and with the landing performance of the aircraft. The pilot in command has the final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short clearance.

(Refer to Area 2.) What is the approximate latitude and longitude of Cooperstown Airport? A.47°55'N - 98°06'W. B.47°25'N - 99°54'W. C.47°25'N - 98°06'W.

Answer C is correct.First locate the Cooperstown Airport on Fig. 26. It is just above 2, middle right of chart. Note that it is to the left (west) of the 98° line of longitude. The line of longitude on the left side of the chart is 99°. Thus, the longitude is a little bit more than 98°W, but not near 99°W. With respect to latitude, note that Cooperstown Airport is just below a line of latitude that is not marked in terms of degrees. However, the next line of latitude below is 47° (see the left side of the chart, northwest of Jamestown Airport). As with longitude, there are two lines of latitude for every degree of latitude; i.e., each line is 30 min. Thus, latitude of the Cooperstown Airport is almost 47°30'N, but not quite. Accordingly, Cooperstown Airport's latitude is 47°25'N and longitude is 98°06'W.

Where is the "Available Landing Distance" (ALD) data published for an airport that utilizes Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)? A.Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). B.14 CFR Part 91, General Operating and Flight Rules. C.Special Notices section of the Chart Supplement.

Answer C is correct.LAHSO take place at some airports with an operating control tower in order to increase the total capacity and improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not use the full length of the runway, but rather that (s)he stop and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. LAHSO requires familiarity with the ALD for given LAHSO combinations and with the landing performance of the aircraft. ALD data are published in the special notices section of the Chart Supplement.

What should you expect when you are told that LAHSO operations are in effect at your destination airport? A.All aircraft must operate on an IFR clearance due to high traffic volume. B.Delays due to low IFR conditions and high traffic volume. C.That ATC will give you a clearance to land and hold short of a specified point on the runway.

Answer C is correct.Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) is an ATC procedure when simultaneous operations (takeoffs and landings) are being conducted on intersecting runways. Pilots may be asked to land and hold short of an intersecting runway, an intersecting taxiway, or some other designated point on a runway.

(Refer to Area 3.) Determine the approximate latitude and longitude of Currituck County Airport. A.47°24'N - 75°58'W. B.36°48'N - 76°01'W. C.36°24'N - 76°01'W.

Answer C is correct.On Fig. 20, find the Currituck County Airport, which is northeast of Area 3. Note that the airport symbol is just to the west of 76° longitude (find 76° just north of Virginia Beach). There are 60 min. between the 76°W and 77°W lines of longitude, with each tick mark depicting 1 min. The airport is one tick mark to the west of the 76° line, or 76°01'W. The latitude is below the 30-min. latitude line across the center of the chart. See the numbered latitude lines at the top (37°) of the chart. Since each tick mark represents 1 min. of latitude, and the airport is approximately six tick marks south of the 36°30'N latitude, the airport is at 36°24'N latitude. Thus, Currituck County Airport is at approximately 36°24'N - 76°01'W.

(Refer to Area 3.) Which airport is located at approximately 47°21'N latitude and 101°01'W longitude? A.Pietsch. B.Underwood. C.Washburn.

Answer C is correct.On Fig. 21, find the 48° line of latitude (2/3 up the figure). Start at the 47°30' line of latitude (the line below the 48° line) and count down nine tick marks to the 47°21'N tick mark and draw a horizontal line on the chart. Next find the 101° line of longitude and go left one tick mark and draw a vertical line. The closest airport is Washburn.

(Refer to Area 2.) Which airport is located at approximately 47°34'30"N latitude and 100°43'00"W longitude? A.Johnson. B.Linrud. C.Makeeff.

Answer C is correct.On Fig. 21, you are asked to locate an airport at 47°34'30"N latitude and 100°43'W longitude. Note that the 101°W longitude line runs down the middle of the figure. Accordingly, the airport you are seeking is 17 min. to the east of that line. Each crossline is 1 min. on the latitude and longitude lines. The 48°N latitude line is approximately two-thirds of the way up the chart. The 47°30'N latitude line is about one-fourth of the way up. One-third up from 47°30'N to 48°N latitude would be 47°39'N. At this spot is Makeeff Airport.

(Refer to Area 2.) Which airport is located at approximately 47° 41 minutes 00 seconds N latitude and 101° 36 minutes 00 seconds W longitude? A.Johnson. B.Crooked Lake. C.Fischer.

Answer C is correct.Referring to the chart, find the longitude (vertical) 101° W line (increases to the west) and the latitude (horizontal) 48° line (decreases to the south). The longitude line to the west of 101° is 101° 30 minutes (each additional crossline is 1 minute). Find 101° 36 minutes by moving west six additional crosslines. The latitude line south of 48° is 47° 30 minutes (each additional crossline is 1 minute). Find 47° 41 minutes by moving north an additional 11 crosslines. These two coordinates (101°36'00"W and 47°30'00"N) intersect over Fischer Airfield.

(Refer to Area 3.) Determine the approximate latitude and longitude of Shoshone County Airport. A.47°02'N - 116°11'W. B.47°32'N - 116°41'W. C.47°33'N - 116°11'W.

Answer C is correct.Shoshone County Airport is below 3, just west of the 116° line of longitude. There are 60 min. between the 116° line and the 117° line, depicted in 1-min. tick marks. Shoshone is 11 tick marks (11 min.) past the 116° line. Find the labeled 48° latitude line just northeast of the 116° line. The latitude and longitude lines are presented each 30 min. Since lines of latitude are also divided into 1 min. tick marks, the airport is three tick marks above the 47°30' line or 47°33'N. The correct latitude and longitude is thus 47°33'N - 116°11'W.

What is the minimum visibility for a pilot to receive a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance? A.1 statute mile. B.3 nautical miles. C.3 statute miles.

Answer C is correct.You should receive a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance only when there is a minimum ceiling of 1,000 ft. and visibility of 3 statute miles. The intent of having basic VFR weather conditions is to allow pilots to maintain visual contact with other aircraft and ground vehicle operations.
