what section describes right of way rules

91.113

when do most crashes happen

during the day

humans see at a ______ point

focal

human eyes relax and set focal point _____ to ______ft which is called ______ vision

10, 30, myopic

to properly visual scan

break sky up into 10 degree increments and focus central vision on each increment

your peripheral vision

detects motion and threats

an object that looks like it is not moving probably is

heading straight towards you

how many seconds should it take you to make a plan when it looks like another aircraft is going to collide with you

12.5

who always has right of way

aircraft in distress

if both planes are approaching head on both aircrafts

veer to the right

if overtaking pass

to the right

with different kinds of aircraft right of way goes from

least mobile to most mobile

if two aircraft have the same right of way rules the aircraft on the _____ has the right of way

right

what do you do to be certain that next manuever will not proceed into another aircrafts flight path

clearing turn

ADS-B stands for

automatic dependent surveillance broadcast

ADS-B out sends

out information from your aircraft

what does ADS-B send out

identification, groundspeed, location, altitude and heading

ADS-B in does what

brings info into your aircraft

what info does ADS-B in bring into your aircraft

nearby traffic, weather information, and certain aviation info services

over congested areas you have to be ________ft above the highest obstacle within a ______ft radius

1,000, 2,000

when taxiing into a left headwind turn_______ and position elevator ______

into the wind, nuetral

when taxiing into a right headwind turn______ and position elavator_____

into the wind, neutral

when taxiing with a left tailwind turn______ and position elevator_____

away from the wind, fully forward

when taxiing with a left tailwind turn______ and position elevator_____

away from the wind, fully forward

towered airports have a

air traffic control tower

at towered airports you have to

maintain radio connections and comply with ATC instruction

when towered airports are closed the revert to

non towered

non towered airports have no

control operating tower

in non towered airport is radio communication required

no

at non towered airports pilots announce there intentions on the

common traffic advisory frequency

runways are labeled according to their

magnetic direction of takeoff

parallel runways are labeled with

left, right, center

chevrons are

yellow arrows on the blastpad that are unusable for landing

touchdown markings are

parallel white lines that mark 1,000 feet left of runway

threshold markings are

parallel white lines that mark the beginning of the runaway

the amount of threshold markings determines

how wide the runway is

the decimation bar

separates the threshold from the blastpad

runway hold positions are

signs and markings at entrances to runways

runway hold positions are for when

you are going from the taxiway to the runway

if you are at a hold short position and the solid yellow line is closest to you that means

you have to ask before crossing

if you are at a hold short position and the dotted yellow line is closest to you that means

you go passed it without asking

landing and hold short operations may be present at

intersecting runways

when asking for clearance who can accept

pilot in command only

airport beacons helps

identify airport from the air

when are airport beacons on

at night or in less than visual flight rules conditions (less than 3nm visibility or ceiling less than 3,000ft)

at civilian land airports beacons are

white and green

at military airports beacon lights are

green with two quick white flashes

at civilian water airport beacon lights are

white and yellow

at heliport beacon lights are

white, green, and yellow

look at the traffic pattern picture and draw it out (type ok)

VASI stands for

visual approach slope indicator

what do vasis look like

four circles in a square formation

when the top two vasis are colored in you are

on glidepath

when all vasis are colored in you are

below glidepath

when no vasis are colored in you are

above glidepath

what does PAPIS stand for

precision approach path indicators

what do papis look light

four circles in a straight horizontal line

when no papis are colored in that means

you are very above glidepath

when the righmost papi is colored in that means

you are slightly above glidepath

when half of the papis are colored in that means

you are on the right glidepath

when 3 papis on the right are colored in that means

you are slightly below the glidepath

when all 4 papis are colored in that means you are

very below glidepath

look at the test question thing and the lights at night (type ok)
