Procedures and Airport Operations

What is the maximum visibility for a pilot to receive a land and hold short clearance?

3 statue miles

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

The other aircraft is approaching head-on

A lighted heliport may be identified by a

green, yellow, and white rotating beacon

Who should not participate in the LAHSO program?

Student Pilots

Marking G confirms the aircraft to be

on a runway about to clear

When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator, the pilot shall maintain an attitude…

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

When operating in Class D airspace, each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator shall maintain an attitude…

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

Unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen, no person may operate a civil aircraft in the US registry above a maximum cabin pressure altitude of

15,000 ft MSL

The yellow demarcation bar marking indicates

a runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway

Which airport marking is a runway safety area/obstacle free zone boundary?

G

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

rely upon the aircraft instrument indications

The numbers 8 and 26 on the approach ends of the runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately

080 and 260 degrees magnetic

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

not cross the lines without ATC clearance

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

What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flights?

Scan slowly to permit offcenter viewing

Except in Alaska, during what time period should lighted position lights be displayed on an aircraft?

Sunset to sunrise

What is the purpose of the no entry sign?

Identifies a paved area where aircraft are prohibited from entering

What is the one common factor which effects most preventable accidents?

Human error

Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as

altitude increases

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 the movement of the other aircraft?

The other aircraft is flying away from you

Most midair collision accidents occur during

clear days

Large accumulations of carbon monoxide result in

loss of muscular power

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

two quick white flashes between green flashes

When should pilots decline a land and hold short clearance?

When it will compromise safety

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

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

Information concerning parachute jumping sites may be found in the

Chart Supplements U.S.

Who has final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short clearance?

Pilot-in-command

Airport taxiway edge lights are identified at night by

blue omnidirectional lights

The recommended entry position to an airport traffic pattern is

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

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

When operating an aircraft at cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL and 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

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

spatial disorientation

What is the purpose of the runway/runway hold position sign?

Denotes intersecting runways

When turning onto a taxiway from another taxiway, what is the purpose of the taxiway directional sign?

Indicates designation and direction of taxiway leading out of an intersection

When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used?

Aileron down on the side from which the wind in blowing

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

A left turn at the intersection depicting sign A would place the aircraft

ready for Runway 22 intersection takeoff

Sign F confirms your position on

Runway 22

How can a military airport be identified at night?

Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes

Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should

visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance

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

Pilots are encouraged to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, and when operating within

10 miles of any airport

What is it often called when a pilot pushes his or her capabilities and the aircraft’s limits by trying to maintain visual contact with the terrain in low visibility and ceiling

Scud running

What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?

All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance

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

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

three white lights and one red light

What does the outbound destination sign identify?

Identifies direction to take-off runways

The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day or night, and especially when operating

in conditions of reduced visibility

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

pulsating red light

Which aileron positions should a pilot generally use when taxiing in strong quartering headwinds?

Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing

Where is the Available Landing Distance data published for an airport that utilizes Land and Hold Short Operations?

Special Notices section of the Chart Supplements U.S.
