Communications and Radar Services

As standard operating practice, all inbound traffic to an airport without a control tower should continuously monitor the appropriate facility from a distance of

10 miles

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

1200

While on a VFR cross country and not in contact with ATC, what frequency would you use in the event of an emergency?

121.5 MHz

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

7500

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

7600

Which transponder code should be used in DISTRESS or for a general EMERGENCY?

7700

Which transponder code should be used when in distress or for a general Emergency?

7700

When operating under VFR below 18,000 feet MSL, unless otherwise authorized, what transponder code should be selected?

Mode 3/A code 1200

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight: "TRAFFIC 10 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

Northwest

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight: "TRAFFIC 3 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, WESTBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

South

In what controlled airspace are you not required to contact ATC when flying in VMC?

TRSA

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight: "TRAFFIC 9 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

West

Prior to entering an Airport Advisory area, a pilot should

contact the local FSS for airport and traffic advisories

From whom should a departing VFR aircraft request radar traffic information during ground operations?

ground control, on initial contact

ATC advices, "traffic 12 o'clock." This advisory is relative to your

ground track

ADS-B-Out equipment is required

in Class E airspace at and above 10,000 feet MSL, excluding airspace end below 2,500 feet AGL

Automatic Terminal information Service (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of recorded information concerning

noncontrol information in selected high-activity terminal areas

Basic radar service in the terminal radar program is best described as

safety alerts, traffic advisories, and limited vectoring to VFR aircraft

TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides

sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft

Absence of the sky condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcast indicates that

the ceiling is at least 5,000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or more

Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, which airspace requires the appropriate Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS) Out equipment installed?

within Class G airspace 25 nautical mile from a Class B airport

ADS-B-Out equipment is not required

within a Terminal Radar Service Area
