Taxiway Centerline Lead-Off Lights are color coded to warn pilots that they are within the runway environment or run-up danger critical area. they are within the runway environment or ILS critical area. they are within the taxiway end environment or ILS critical area. What action should be taken by the pilot in command of a transport category
airplane if the airborne weather radar becomes inoperative en route on an IFR
flight for which weather reports indicate possible thunderstorms? Request radar vectors from ATC to the nearest suitable airport and land. Proceed in accordance with the approved instructions and procedures
specified in the operations manual for such an event. Return to the departure airport if the thunderstorms have not been
encountered, and there is enough fuel remaining. How does the LDA differ from an ILS LOC? LDA. 6° or 12° wide, ILS – 3° to 6°. LDA. offset from runway plus 3°, ILS – aligned with runway. LDA. 15° usable off course indications, ILS – 35°. Without Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) capability,
the accuracy of the GPS derived altitude information should not be relied upon to determine aircraft altitude. position is not affected. velocity information should be relied upon to determine aircraft groundspeed. What aural and visual indications should be observed over an ILS middle
marker? Continuous dots at the rate of six per second, identified as a high-
pitch tone. Continuous dashes at the rate of two per second, identified as a low-
pitched tone. Alternate dots and dashes identified as a lowpitched tone. A runway status light (RWSL) system at an airport relies on ASDE-X/airport surface surveillance capability (ASSC). allows ATC to override any RWSL false indications. does not require pilots to tell ATC when executing a go-around. Hold line markings at the intersection of taxiways and runways consist of
four lines (two solid and two dashed) that extend across the width of the
taxiway. These lines are white in color and the dashed lines are nearest the runway. yellow in color and the dashed lines are nearest the runway. yellow in color and the solid lines are nearest the runway. Information obtained from flight data and cockpit voice recorders shall be used only for determining who was responsible for any accident or incident. evidence for use in civil penalty or certificate action. possible causes of accidents or incidents. The most important markings on an airport are ILS critical area. hold markings. taxiway identification markings. (Refer to Figure 226.) What does the outbound destination sign identify? Identifies entrance to the runway from a taxiway. Identifies runway on which an aircraft is located. Identifies direction to take-off runways. When setting the altimeter, pilots should disregard effects of nonstandard atmospheric temperatures and pressures. corrections for static pressure systems. corrections for instrument error. If Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) is not available when
setting up for GPS approach, the pilot should continue to the MAP and hold until the satellites are recaptured. proceed as cleared to the IAF and hold until satellite reception is satisfactory. select another type of approach using another type of navigation aid. Authorization to conduct any GPS operation under IFR requires that the pilot review appropriate weather, aircraft flight manual (AFM), and
operation of the particular GPS receiver air carrier and commercial operators must meet the appropriate provisions of their approved operations specifications. the equipment be approved in accordance with TSO C-115a. Which pressure is defined as station pressure? Altimeter setting. Actual pressure at field elevation. Station barometric pressure reduced to sea level. When a pilot plans a flight using NDB NAVAIDs, which rule applies? The airplane must have sufficient fuel to proceed, by means of one other
independent navigation system, to a suitable airport and complete an
instrument approach by use of the remaining airplane radio system. The pilot must be able to return to the departure airport using other navigation radios anywhere along the route with 150% of the forecast headwinds. The airplane must have sufficient fuel to proceed, by means of VOR
NAVAIDS, to a suitable airport and land anywhere along the route with
150% of the forecast headwinds. An approved minimum equipment list or FAA Letter of Authorization allows certain instruments or equipment to be inoperative prior to beginning a flight in an aircraft if
prescribed procedures are followed. to be inoperative anytime with no other documentation required or
procedures to be followed. to be inoperative for a one-time ferry flight of a large airplane to a
maintenance base without further documentation from the operator or FAA
with passengers on board. (Refer to Figure 252.) In reviewing the RNAV/ GPS procedure RWY 4 LEW, the
lack of shaded fan from the 1.6 NM point to the runway indicates the visual segment below the MDA/DA is not clear of obstacles on a 34-to-1 slope. it does not have VASI. you can descend on a 20-to-1 slope and remain clear of all obstacles. When taxiing on an airport with ASDE-X, you should operate the transponder only when the airport is under IFR or at night
during your taxi. operate the transponder with altitude reporting all of the time during
taxiing. be ready to activate the transponder upon ATC request while taxing. When is DME or suitable RNAV required for an instrument flight? At or above 24,000 feet MSL if VOR navigational equipment is required. In terminal radar service areas. Above 12,500 feet MSL. (Refer to Figure 156.) This sign, which is visible to the pilot on the runway,
indicates a point at which the pilot should contact ground control without being
instructed by the tower. a point at which the aircraft will be clear of the
runway. the point at which the emergency arresting gear is stretched across the
runway. Which component associated with the ILS is identified by the last two letters
of the localizer group? Inner marker. Middle compass locator. Outer compass locator. The ILS critical area sign indicates where aircraft are prohibited. the edge of the ILS critical area. the exit boundary. If a visual descent point (VDP) is published on a GPS approach, it will be coded in the waypoint sequence and identified using ATD. will not be included in the sequence of waypoints.
must be included in the normal waypoints. If installed, what aural and visual indications should be observed over the
ILS back course marker?
A series of two dot combinations, and a white marker beacon light. Continuous dashes at the rate of one per second, and a white marker
beacon light. A series of two dash combinations, and a white marker beacon light. “Unreliable,” as indicated in the following GPS NOTAMS: SFO 12/051 SFO WAAS
LNAV/VNAV AND LPV MNM UNRELBL WEF0512182025-0512182049 means within the time parameters of the NOTAM, the predicted level of service
will not support LPV approaches. satellite signals are currently unavailable to support LPV and LNAV/VNAV
approaches. within the time parameters of the NOTAM, the predicted level of service
will not support RNAV and MLS approaches. Automation has been found to create higher workloads in terminal areas. improve crew situational awareness skills. substitute for a lack of aviation experience.
. What is the maximum permissible variation between the two bearing indicators
on a dual VOR system when checking one VOR against the other? 4° on the ground and in flight. 6° on the ground and in flight. 6° in flight and 4° on the ground. Missed approach routing in which the first track is via a course rather than
direct to the next waypoint requires that the GPS receiver be sequenced to the missed approach portion of
the procedure. manual intervention by the pilot, but will not be required, if RAIM is
available. additional action by the operator to set the course. A Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) clearance, that the pilot accepts: must result in a landing. does not preclude a rejected landing. precludes a rejected landing. What does “UNREL” indicate in the following GPS and WAAS NOTAM: BOS WAAS LPV
AND LNAV/ VNAV MNM UNREL WEF 0305231700 -0305231815? Satellite signals are currently unavailable to support LPV and LNAV/VNAV
approaches to the Boston airport. The predicted level of service, within the time parameters of the NOTAM,
may not support LPV approaches. The predicted level of service, within the time parameters of the NOTAM,
will not support LNAV/ VNAV and MLS approaches. What is the purpose of REIL? Identification of a runway surrounded by a preponderance of other
lighting. Identification of the touchdown zone to prevent landing short. Establish visual descent guidance information during an approach.
