Exam Solved
What type of ADS-B Out equipment is required for aircraft operating below 18,000 feet
MSL when flying in class C airspace? - Answer- 1090-ES or Universal Access
Transceiver.
For flights below 18,000 feet MSL either 1090-ES or UAT ADS-B Out equipment can be
used. For flights above 18,000 feet MSL in Class A airspace, the aircraft must be
equipped with 1090-ES
(Refer to Figure 51.) What information should be entered for Item 15, level, on the flight
plan form? - Answer- VFR cruising altitude
Insert the planned cruising altitude in hundreds of feet for the first or the whole portion of
the route to be flown expressed as "A" followed by three figures: A075 for 7,500 feet
MSL.
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local
flight:'TRAFFIC TWO O'CLOCK, 5 MILES, NORTHBOUND...'Where should the pilot
look for this traffic? - Answer- Between directly ahead and 90° to the right.
Traffic information issued to the pilot as 'two o'clock' would mean approximately 60°
right.
(Refer to Figure 25, area 2.) The control tower frequency for Addison Airport is -
Answer- 126.0 MHz.
The correct answer is found in the explanatory box for Addison airport in area 2: 126.0
MHz.
While on final approach for landing, an alternating green and red light followed by a
flashing red light is received from the control tower. Under these circumstances, the
pilot should - Answer- exercise extreme caution and abandon the approach, realizing
the airport is unsafe for landing.
An alternating red and green light means to exercise extreme caution.
(Refer to Figure 26, area 2.) What is the recommended communication procedure when
inbound to land at Cooperstown Airport? - Answer- Broadcast intentions when 10 miles
out on the CTAF/MULTICOM frequency, 122.9 MHz.
MULTICOM frequency is always 122.9 MHz, and the correct procedure is to broadcast
intentions when 10 miles from the airport.
, The correct method of stating 10,500 feet MSL to ATC is - Answer- ONE ZERO
THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED.
The correct method of stating 4,500 feet MSL to ATC is - Answer- FOUR THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED
When activated, an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) transmits on - Answer- 406
MHz
Which light signal from the control tower clears a pilot to taxi? - Answer- Flashing green
A flashing green light signal clears a pilot to taxi.
Why should you file a VFR flight plan with the FAA? - Answer- To provide search and
rescue in the event of an emergency
Filing a flight plan is not required by regulations; however, it is a good operating practice
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying on a heading of
090°:'TRAFFIC THREE O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, WESTBOUND...'Where should the pilot
look for this traffic? - Answer- South
When an air traffic controller issues radar traffic information in relation to the 12-hour
clock, the reference the controller uses is the aircrafts - Answer- ground track
Azimuth information given by ATC is based on the ground track of an aircraft as it is
observed. The pilot must apply a correction to the reported azimuth using a drift-
correction angle in order to maintain the track.
(Refer to Figure 22, area 2; and Figure 31.) At Coeur D'Alene, which frequency should
be used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to self-announce position
and intentions? - Answer- 122.8 MHz
CTAF is a frequency designed for the purpose of carrying out airport advisory practices
and/or position reporting at an uncontrolled airport (which may also occur during hours
when a tower is closed). The CTAF may be a UNICOM, MULTICOM, FSS, or tower
frequency and is identified in the appropriate aeronautical publications. A solid dot with
the letter 'C' inside indicates the CTAF. When the control tower operates part time and a
UNICOM frequency is provided, use the UNICOM frequency.
(Refer to Figure 22, area 2; and Figure 31.) What is the correct UNICOM frequency to
be used at Coeur D'Alene to request fuel? - Answer- 122.8 MHz
