Progress 4 Flashcards
The required longitudinal time separation between departing aircraft where the preceding aircraft is 74 km/h (40 knots) or more faster than the following aircraft, and BOTH AIRCRAFT WILL FOLLOW THE SAME TRACK is?
2 minutes
List the features of Class D airspace.
• IFR separated from IFR and SVFR, SVFR separated from SVFR
• ATC service is provided
• Traffic info is provided to IFR flights concerning VFR flights and to VFR flights concerning IFR and VFR flights
• Traffic avoidance information is provided to both IFR and VFR flights on request
• IFR and VFR flights have a speed limitation of 250 kts IAS below 10,000ft AMSL
• Continuous two way radio communication is required for both IFR and VFR flights.
• All flights are subject to an ATC Clearance.
Whilst airborne in the vicinity of the aerodrome, an aircraft sees a flashing green light from the Tower. What does this mean?
Return for landing and await clearance to land.
How long will wake turbulence remain after the passage of a large aircraft?
Five minutes or more. ATC permits two or three minutes separation.
An aircraft flying in the visual circuit at an aerodrome sees a series of red flashes from the control tower. What does this mean?
Do not land because the aerodrome is unusable.
What is the procedural method for the application of wake turbulence separation?
Time
How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?
Outward, upward, and around the wingtip.
What level of wake turbulence does a B737 produce?
Medium.
Aircraft flying reciprocal tracks may be cleared to climb and descend through the level of the other aircraft provided that the maneuver does not commence until:
10 minutes after the aircraft are estimated to have passed each other.
Or
It has been positively determined that the aircraft have passed each other and are at a distance of 10 NM DME/GNSS apart.
Whilst airborne in the vicinity of the aerodrome, an aircraft sees a flashing green light from the Tower. What does this mean?
Return for landing, await ATC clearance
Longitudinal separation based on time for aircraft flying on the same track and at the same level, when navigation aids permit frequent determination of speed and position and where the preceding aircraft is maintaining TAS 20 kt faster than the succeeding aircraft, is:
5 minutes
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying:
Above the large aircraft’s final approach flight path and landing beyond the large aircraft’s touchdown point.
With the flaps lowered, the stalling speed will:
Decrease.
What is the separation standard between aircraft flying on the same track and at the same altitude, when using DME to determine range from a beacon?
20NM
Or
10 NM where the preceding aircraft speed is 20 kt TAS faster than the second.
What wake turbulence separation is applied when a light aircraft is taking off behind a medium aircraft?
2 minutes.
Lowering the flaps during a landing approach:
Increases the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
The longitudinal separation minima based on distance using DME/GNSS from the same ‘on-track’ DME station or GNSS waypoint, where both aircraft are maintaining the same level on the same track, is:
20 NM.
What level of wake turbulence does a B747 and B757 produce?
Heavy
List the conditions for approving VMC climb/descent in Saint Lucia’s airspace?
• It is authorized by the Appropriate ATS Authority in Class D and E airspace
• When requested by flight crew and with ATC approval
• With the agreement of the flight crew of the other aircraft concerned
• During the hours of daylight and in VMC
• Below 10,000 feet (FL100)
• Between two aircraft only
• For a specified portion of flight
• One aircraft must maintain a level
• The aircraft climbing/descending aircraft must maintain own separation and remain in VMC
• Alternative instructions and essential traffic information shall be passed by ATC.
A departing aircraft will not be permitted to take off when arriving instrument traffic has:
Passed a point 3 minutes from the threshold of the instrument runway.
An aerofoil section is designed to produce lift resulting from a difference in the:
Higher air pressure below the surface and lower air pressure above the surface.
If the control column is moved forward and to the left:
The left aileron moves up, right aileron moves down, elevator moves down.
An aircraft is taxiing on the ground at an aerodrome and sees a flashing red light from the tower. What does it mean?
Taxi clear of the landing area.
If the control column is pulled back and to the right:
The left aileron moves down, right aileron moves up, elevator moves up.
