procedures.
A. Departure in a diverse vector area (DVA) follow a
specific published ground track.
B. Pilot navigation SIDs are published in graphic form
and do not include textual descriptions of any routing.

A. Climb at least 700 feet per minute on a heading of
165 degrees to intercept the 161 degree radial from
SEA. Cross NICHY at or above 3,000 feet. Then, turn to
a heading 251 degree to intercept the 230 degree
radial from SEA to ELMAA, intercept the 049 degree
radial and fly to HQM.
B. Climb at least 560 feet per minute on a heading of
165 degree to intercept the 161 degree radial from
SEA to ELMAA. Expect a clearance a clearance to 3,000
feet MSL 15 NM miles from SEA. At ELMAA intercept the
161 degrees radial from YYJ and at 154 NM from YYJ,
intercept the 340 degrees radial and fly to CVO.

If a SID requires a climb gradient of 400 feet per
nautical mile, what is the required rate of climb at a
ground speed of 120 knots ?
A. 400 ft/min
B. 800 ft/min
C. 1,000 ft/ min - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ B. 800 ft/min
During a flight under IFR, you are traveling northwest on
V485 from Ventura VOR/DME at an assigned altitude
of 5,000 feet MSL. Assuming that ATC clears you to a
higher altitude along your route, what actions should you
take to climb to your assigned altitude.
A. At OHIGH, the MEA changes, from 5,000 to 9,000
feet MSL. At HENER, begin your climb to cross OHIGH at
9,000 or above.
B. At HENER, the MEA changes from 5,000 to 9,000 feet
MSL. At HENER, begin climbing to cross OHIGH at or
above 6,500 feet MSL. Continue climbing to 9,000 feet
, 4|Page
after passing OHIGH to guarantee that you have
adequate navigation signal reception.
C. At HENER, the MEA changes from 5,000 to 9,000
feet MSL. Prior to HENER, climb to cross HENER at or
above 6,200 feet MSL. Continue your climb to 9,000
feet to guarantee that you have adequate navigation
signal reception to identify OHIGH. - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ C. At HENER, the MEA changes from 5,000 to
9,000 feet MSL. Prior to HENER, climb to cross HENER at

signal reception to identify OHIGH.
Which is an example of the correct callup to the center
controller after being handed off by the departure
controller?
A. "Denver Center, Cessna 20JA, 6,500 , climbing to
9,000."
B. "Denver Center, Cessna 20JA, heading 240, climbing
to 9,000."
