PAR (Airspace) EXAM QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS.
1. Normal VFR operations in Class D airspace with an operating control
tower require:
A. 100 feet and 1 mile
B. 1,000 feet and 1 mile
C. 1,000 feet and 3 miles
Explanation: Class D VFR minimums are 3 statute miles visibility and 1,000-
foot ceiling.
2. At what altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92 when climbing to
cruising flight level?
A. 10,000 feet MSL
B. 18,000 feet MSL
C. 14,500 feet MSL
Explanation: The standard pressure setting (29.92 inHg) is used at or above
18,000 feet MSL (Class A airspace).
3. A blue segmented circle on a sectional chart depicts which class of
airspace?
A. Class C
B. Class D
C. Class E
Explanation: Blue segmented lines on sectional charts depict Class D
airspace surrounding towered airports.
, 4. Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as
Class D only when:
A. The tower is in operation
B. The weather is below minimums
C. The tower is closed
Explanation: Class D airspace exists only when the control tower is
operational.
5. Unless otherwise authorized, two-way radio communications are
required for landings or takeoffs at all towered airports:
A. Only in IFR conditions
B. Regardless of weather conditions
C. Only in VFR conditions
Explanation: ATC communication is mandatory at towered airports under all
weather conditions.
6. Two-way radio communication must be established prior to entering
which class airspace?
A. Class E
B. Class G
C. Class C
Explanation: Class C airspace requires radio contact before entry; ATC must
acknowledge the call sign.
