Must conduct operations under instrument flight rules.

Pilot in command
Which is true regarding flight operations to or from a satellite airport, without an operating control tower, within Class C airspace area?
Prior to entering that airspace, a pilot must establish and maintain communication with the ATC serving facility.
When operating an airplane for the purpose of takeoff or landing within Class D airspace under special VFR, what minimum distance from clouds and what visibility are required?
Remain clear of clouds, and the ground visibility must be at least 1 SM.

Right
(Refer to Figure 56, Item 1) This sign confirms your position on
Routing to runway 22
The "yellow demarcation bar" marking indicates
Runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway.
(Refer to figure 54, area 2) After departing from Bryon Airport (C83) with a northeast wind, you discover you are approaching Livermore Class D airspace and flight visibility is approximately 2 1/2 miles. You must

Once a pilot-in-command accepts a "land and hold short" (LAHSO) clearance, the clearance must be adhered to, just as any other ATC clearance, unless
an amended clearance is obtained or an emergency occurs
(Refer to figure 56, item 2) this taxiway sign would be expected
at the intersection of runway 04/22 departure end and the taxiway
(Refer to figure 54, area 6) The Class C airspace at Metropolitan Oakland International (OAK) which extends from the surface upward has a ceiling of..
both 2,100 feet and 3,000 feet MSL
A "land and hold short" (LAHSO) clearance
does not preclude a rejected landing
Runway holding position markings on taxiways
identify where aircraft are supposed to stop when not cleared to proceed onto the runway.
Light beacons producing red flashes indicate
obstructions or areas considered hazardous to aerial navigation
