Special Notices Section of the Chart Supplement U.S. (formerly Airport/Facility Directory or A/FD.)

Who should not participate in the Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) program?

Student pilots.

(Refer to Figure 48.) According to the airport diagram, which statement is true?

Takeoffs may be started at position A on Runway 12, and the landing portion of this runway begins at position B.

Select the true statement concerning gyroplane taxi procedures.

Taxi speed should be limited to no faster than a brisk walk in ideal conditions.

When should pilots decline a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance?

When it will compromise safety.

(Refer to Figure 47.) VASI lights as shown by illustration C indicate that the airplane is

above the glide slope.

When approaching to land at an airport in Class G airspace that does not have light signals or other visual markings, an airplane pilot must make

all turns to the left.

Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as

altitude increases.

If advice is needed concerning possible flight with an illness, a pilot should contact

an Aviation Medical Examiner.

The "runway hold position" sign denotes

an entrance to runway from a taxiway.

(Refer to Figure 47.) While on final approach to a runway equipped with a standard 2-bar VASI, the lights appear as shown by illustration D. This means that the aircraft is

below the flight path.

Airport taxiway edge lights are identified at night by

blue omnidirectional lights.

(Refer to Figure 48.) Area C on the airport depicted is classified as a

closed runway.

As a pilot, flying for long periods in hot summer temperatures increases the susceptibility of dehydration since the

dry air at altitude tends to increase the rate of water loss from the body.

To set the high intensity runway lights on medium intensity, the pilot should click the microphone seven times, and then click it

five times within five seconds.

The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by

having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs.

When a stressful situation is encountered in flight, an abnormal increase in the volume of air breathed in and out can cause a condition known as

hyperventilation.

"Runway hold position" markings on the taxiway

identifies where aircraft hold short of the runway.

'Runway hold position' markings on the runway

identify where aircraft hold short of the runway

(Refer to Figures 76 and 77.) Inbound to Pierre Regional (PIR) from the South-west, with wind 240 at 12 knots, expect to make

left traffic for runway 25.

(Refer to Figure 50.) The segmented circle indicates that the airport traffic is

left-hand for Runway 36 and right-hand for Runway 18.

To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the pilot should keep the

longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion.

Large accumulations of carbon monoxide in the human body result in

loss of muscular power.

While operating in class D airspace, each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) shall...

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope until a lower altitude is necessary for a safe landing.

When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.

When approaching to land at an airport, without an operating control tower, in Class G airspace, the pilot should

make all turns to the left, unless otherwise indicated.

(Refer to Figure 65.) From the cockpit, marking G confirms the aircraft to be

on a runway, about to clear.

(Refer to Figure 47.) Illustration A indicates that the aircraft is

on the glide slope.

The Chart Supplements U.S. (formerly Airport/Facility Directory, A/FD) will generally have the latest information pertaining to airport elevation, runway facilities, and control tower frequencies. If there are differences, it should be used in preference to the information

on the sectional chart.

A below glide slope indication from a pulsating approach slope indicator is a

pulsating red light.

(Refer to Figure 65.) A left turn at the intersection depicting sign A would place the aircraft

ready for a Runway 22 intersection takeoff.

If a pilot experiences spatial disorientation during flight in a restricted visibility condition, the best way to overcome the effect is to

rely upon the aircraft instrument indications.

(Refer to Figure 50.) The segmented circle indicates that a landing on Runway 26 will be with a

right-quartering headwind.

(Refer to Figure 65.) Sign F confirms your position on

runway 22.

The "yellow demarcation bar" marking indicates

runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway.

entries into traffic patterns while descending create specific collision hazards and

should be avoided.

When approaching taxiway holding lines from the side with the continuous lines, the pilot

should not cross the lines without ATC clearance.

During the transition from pre-rotation to flight, all rotor blades change pitch

simultaneously but to different angles of indicence.

A pilot should be able to overcome the symptoms or avoid future occurrences of hyperventilation by

slowing the breathing rate or breathing into a bag.

A pilot experiencing the effects of hyperventilation should be able to restore the proper carbon dioxide level in the body by

slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a paper bag, or talking aloud.

(Refer to Figure 50.) The traffic patterns indicated in the segmented circle have been arranged to avoid flights over an area to the

southeast of the airport.

A lack of orientation with regard to the position, attitude, or movement of the aircraft in space is defined as

spatial disorientation.

As hyperventilation progresses, a pilot can experience

symptoms of suffocation and drowsiness.

(Refer to Figure 48.) The portion of the runway identified by the letter A may be used for

taxiing and takeoff.

When operating an aircraft at cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL up to and including 14,000 feet MSL, supplemental oxygen shall be used during...

that flight time in excess of 30 minutes at those altitudes.

An airport's rotating beacon operated during daylight hours indicates

that weather at the airport located in Class D airspace is below basic VFR weather minimums.

The most comprehensive information on a given airport is provided by

the Chart Supplememnts U.S. (formely Airport/Facility Directory, A/FD).

(Refer to Figure 71, area 4 and Legend 1.) For information about the parachute jumping operations at Lincoln Regional/Harder (LHM) Airport, refer to

the Chart Supplement U.S.

VFR approaches to land at night should be accomplished

the same as during daytime.

A slightly high glide slope indication from a precision approach path indicator is

three white lights and one red light.

The recommended entry position to an airport traffic pattern is

to enter 45 degrees at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude.

(Refer to Figure 52.) Traffic patterns in effect at Lincoln Municipal are

to the right on Runway 18 and Runway 35; to the left on Runway 36.

A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits

two quick, white flashes between green flashes.

Pilots are more subject to spatial disorganization if

visual cues are taken away, as they are in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).

Holding position signs have

white inscriptions on a red background.
