procedures and airport operations Flashcards
Most midair collision accidents occur during
clear days.
(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.
What is the minimum visibility for a pilot to receive a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance?
3 statute miles.
The yellow demarcation bar marking indicates
a runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway.
(Refer to Figure 48.) Area C on the airport depicted is classified as a
closed runway.
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.
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.
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.
(Refer to Figure 65.) A left turn at the intersection depicting sign A would place the aircraft
ready for a Runway 22 intersection takeoff.
A lighted heliport may be identified by a
green, yellow, and white rotating beacon.
Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?
Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area.
What does the outbound destination sign identify?
Identifies direction to take-off runways.
What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long term memory for repetitive tasks?
Checklists.
How can a military airport be identified at night?
Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes.
