RVR is not available for the runway you intend to use. For RVR 2400 you should substitute
1/2 SM ground visbility.
All pilots should use the local altimeter setting when taking off and landing because it provides
data to enable vertical separation of aircraft
With the correct altimeter setting, the altimeter will indicate
true altitude at field elevation or pressure altitude if current altimeter setting is 29.92
If you adjust the altimeter from 30.11 inches Hg to 29.96 inches Hg, the indicated altitude would be
150 feet lower
Which of the following indications would a pilot see while approaching to land on a runway served by a 2-bar VASI?
If departing to the high side of the glidepath the far bars will change from red to white.
The middle and far bars of a 3-bar vasi will
constitute a 2-bar vasi for using the upper glidepath.
When on the proper glidepath of a 2-bar VASI, the pilot will see the near bar as
white and far bar as red
What are the angles for the PAPIs from all white to all red?
4 white: 3.5 or greater
3 white/1 red: 3.2 - 3.5
2 white / 2 red: 3
1 white/ 3 red: 2.8
0 white / 4 red: 2.5 or less
During a flight, the controller advises “traffic 2 o clock 5 miles southbound”. The pilot is holding 20 degree correction for a crosswind from the right. Where should the pilot look for traffic?
40 degrees to the right of the ac’s nose.
While on an IFR flight, a pilot has an emergency which caues a deviation from an ATC clearance. What action must be taken?
Notify ATC of the deviation asap and obtain an amended clearance.
To comply with ATC instructions for altitude changes of more than 1000 feet, what rate of climb or descent should be used?
As rapidly as practicable to 1000 feet above/below the assigned altitude, and then at least 500 feet per minute until reaching the assigned altitude.
Which types of airspace are depicted on the en route low altitude chart?
Special use airspace
For IFR ops off of established airways below 18K feet, VOR navigational aids used to describe the route of flight should be no more than
80NM apart
Holding speeds based on elevation
200 knots: < 6000
230 knots: 6001-14000
265 knots: 14001+
Where a holding pattern is specified in lieu of a procedure turn, the holding maneuver must be executed within
the 1 minute time limitation or DME distance as specified in the profile view
How is ATC radar used for instrument approaches when the facility is approved for approach control service?
Course guidance to the final approach course, ASR and PAR approaches, and the monitoring of nonradar approaches.
While you are flying at FL 250, you hear ATC give an altimeter setting of 28.92 Hg in your area. At what pressure altitude are you flying?
25,000 still. The call was for those below 18000
What action should be taken if hyperventilation is suspected?
Consciously breathe at a slower rate.
What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?
Haze creates the illusion of being a greater distance than actual from the runway
While on an IFR clearance, ATC tells you radar contact. This means
Your aircraft has been identified on the radar display and radar flight following will be provided until radar identification is terminated.
Upon intercepting the assigned radial, the controller advises you to resume own navigation. This phrase means that
resume operations as filed or cleared
What is the definition of MEA?
The lowest published altitude which meets obstacle clearance requirements and assures acceptable navigational signal coverage.
What do you do if there is no change over point on a low enroute altitude chart?
Changeover halfway
What is the function of an RCO?
Remote communications outlet for FSS
