USAF FLIGHT LINE TRAINING
(RAMSTEIN) EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2025/2026
Runway? - ANS A rectangular area on an airfield prepared for the landing and takeoff of
aircraft. Named 1-36.
Ramstein Runways - ANS 09/27(North Runway) 9,843 ft by 148 ft
08/26(South Runway) 10,498 ft by 148 ft
Runway designation markings - ANS Markings used to help pilots distinguish runways from
the air.
Runway threshold markings - ANS Markings used to mark the beginning of the usable
runway. They are marked with a group of longitudinal lines.
Runway centerline markings - ANS Markings are evenly spaced longitudinal striped along
center of runway.(Dashed white lines)
Runway edge markings - ANS Runway side stripes are solid white lines running the length of
the runway, these lines denote the edge of the runway.

, Runway edge lights - ANS Line of lights paralleling each side of the runway. Located not more
than 10 ft from pavement edge.
Approaching light system - ANS Identifies certain light configurations located on the airfield.
Designed to improve safety for landing operations.
VFR hold lines - ANS Consist of 4 parallel yellow stripes perpendicular to the taxiway
centerline. Two stripes closest to the runway are dashed and other two are solid.
Intermediate holding position markings - ANS Installed where ATCT normally holds personnel
short of an approaching intersection.
Mandatory signs - ANS Red background with white lettering. Located on airfield where two
way radio communication with ATC is required.
Instrument Landing System (ILS) - ANS Area of an airport that all aircraft and vehicles must
remain clear of when ILS system is in use. Used to protect against radio signal interference.
When do you request access to ILS areas from air traffic control? - ANS During inclement
weather.
Distance remaining markers - ANS Used to show pilot how much runway length remains.
Markers are spaced every 1,000 ft.
Aircraft arresting gear - ANS Cable strung across the runway with a braking system, used to
stop emergency aircraft. Identifies by yellow circles painted across the runway.
