Q

Non movement Area

Study These Flashcards
A

Single dashed on outside, solid on inside, you can move inside w/o ATC clearance but to exit you must have clearance. No clearance required to enter

23
Q

Interpret airport glide slope indicator lights

Study These Flashcards
A

Vasi and PAPI

24
Q

VASI

Study These Flashcards
A
  • lights 2 near 2 far
  • 4 red, too low, below glide path
  • Far red, near white , on glide path 3 deg
  • All white, above glidepath
25
PAPI
- Most accurate - All white -> too high 3.5 degrees - 3 white 1 red -> Slightly high 3.2 degrees - 2 white 2 red -> on glidepath - 1 white 3 red -> slightly below glidepath 2.8 deg - 4 red -> low, less than 2.5 degrees
26
identify and explain airport lighting
airport beacons
27
airport beacons
- Civilian airports display alternating green and white lights - Military is White White Green - If used at airports with Class B,C,D or E during the day, signifies ground vis <3sm or ceiling <1000 ft i.e. no VFR flying
28
Common wind indicators
wind sock, wind Tee, Tetrahedron
29
Wind Sock
indicates wind direction and strength by direction of sock and erectness
30
Wind Tee
indicates wind direction not intensity; can be locked in place to show active runway
31
Tetrahedron
indicates wind direction not intensity ; can be locked in place to show active runway
32
Airport Light gun Signals
Steady Green, Flashing Green, Steady Red, Flashing Red, Flashing White, Alternating Green/White
33
Steady Green
Aircraft on the Ground- Cleared For takeoff | Aircraft in Flight- Cleared to Land
34
Flashing Green
Aircraft on the Ground- Cleared for Taxi | Aircraft in Flight- Return for Landing
35
Steady Red
Aircraft on the Ground- STOP | Aircraft in Flight- Give way to other aircraft and keep circling
36
Flashing Red
Aircraft on the Ground- Taxi clear of runway in use | Aircraft in Flight- Airport unsafe, dont land
37
Flashing White
Aircraft on the Ground- return to starting point on airport | Aircraft in Flight- not applicable
38
Alternating Green/Red
Aircraft on the Ground-Exercise Extreme Caution | Aircraft in Flight- Exercise Extreme Caution
39
Explain notices to Airmen
-Provide most current info available. NOTAM, | NOTAM D, FDC version
40
NOTAM
Provide most current info available
41
NOTAM D
Distance disseminated, what you need to know from far out (runway closed, airport closed etc)
42
FDC VERSION of NOTAM
- flight data center NOTAM | - -Contains reg information such as temporary flight restrictions or an amendment to instrument approach procedures
43
Identify point in FAA traffic pattern
Departure, Crosswind, downwind, base, final
44
Departure
Immediately after takeoff, can go direct or 45 deg
45
Crosswind
-up wind side of turn, pre-downwind
46
Downwind
- parallel to runway and with the wind | - -Entries are completed on the downwind leg at a 45 deg angle
47
Base
-Turn perpendicular to runway
48
Final
-Turn into wind and descend for landing
49
Basic rules in FAA traffic patterns (Civilian)
- Standard pattern is turns made to the left - Maintain proper spacing ; 3000’ laterally, 3 min behind large aircraft - Maintain speed within +- 10 kts, altitude +-100 ft
50
Identify and describe points along a military overhead pattern
- 180 deg turns - Downwind - Report base as rolling into final 180 deg turn - -Turn is called the Perch - Entering pattern is done by overflying the runway and then performing a 180 deg turn over the runway to the downwind side while decelerating to pattern speed
51
Wake turbulence
cause by lift and drag, circular air movement(tornado), rolling vortices off wings create downdraft + induced roll
52
Explain safe operation when wake turbulence is present
- Fly 3 min behind all heavy and large aircraft (>41,000 lbs) - 2min behind all small plus aircraft (12,500lbs - 41,000 lbs) - 1 min behind small helicopters ( <12,500 lbs)
53
Required Aircraft instruments | TOMATO FLAMES
 Tachometer  Oil pressure gauge  Manifold pressure gauge for altitude engine  Altimeter  Temperature gauge for liquid-cooled engine  Oil temperature gauge for air-cooled engine - Fuel gauge  Landing gear position indicator (if applicable)  Airspeed indicator  Magnetic direction indicator  ELT  Safety belts
