airport operations Flashcards
(16 cards)
the numbers 9 and 27 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately
090 and 270 magnetic
when approaching taxiway holding lines from the side with the continuous lines the pilot
should not cross the lines without ATC clearance
a lighted heliport may be identified by a
green yellow and white rotating beacon
an airports rotating beacon operated during daylight hours indicates
that weather at the airport located in Class D airspace is below basic CFR weather minimums
Airport taxiway edge lights are identified at night by
blue omnidirectional lights
which is the correct traffic pattern departure procedure to use at a non controlled airport
comply with any FAA traffic pattern established for the airport
each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slip indicator (VASI) shall
maintain an altitude at or above the glide scope
when departing behind a heavy aircraft the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft
above and upwind from the heavy aircraft
prior to starting each maneuver pilots should
visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance
most midair collision accidents occur during
clear days
the aeronautical information manual (AIM) specially encouraged pilots to turn on their when operating below 10,000 feet day or night and especially when operating
in conditions of reduced visibility
it is a responsibility of the pilot and crew to report a near midair collision as a result of proximity of at least
500 ft or less to another aircraft
when should pilots decline a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance
when it will compromise safety of flight
where is the available landing distance (ALD) data published for an airport that utilizes land and hold short operations (LAHSO)
special notices section of the chart supplement
what is the min vis for a pilot to receive a land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance
3 statue miles
to minimize the side loads places on the landing gear during touchdown the pilot should keep the
longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion
