3.5 Visual Approach Slope Indicators (VASI)

Question 1

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

Answer 1

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope

Question 2

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

Answer 2

pulsating red light

Question 3

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

Answer 3

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

Question 4

which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI

Answer 4

safe obstruction clearance in the approach area

Question 5

Each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) shall

Answer 5

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope

Question 6

(refer to image) Illustration A indicates that the aircraft is

Answer 6

on the glide slope

Question 7

(refer to image) 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

Answer 7

below the glide slope

Question 8

(refer to image) VASI lights as shown by illustration C indicate that the airplane is

Answer 8

above the glide slope

Question 9

which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper gildepath of the VASI

Answer 9

safe obstruction clearance in the approach area

Question 10

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

Answer 10

three white lights and one red light
