Cat I
An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying a heading of 300 degrees: ‘TRAFFIC TWO O’ CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHEAST BOUND…’Where should the pilot look for this traffic?
North
Unless otherwise instructed by ATC pilots should select which code for the transponder?
1200
Communication and Navigation radio systems operate within what frequency band?
VHF
What frequency is monitored by every ATC facility?
121.5 MHz
While on final approach for landing, an alternate green and red light followed by a flashing red light is received from the control tower. Under these circumstances, the pilot should
Exercise extreme caution and abandon the approach, realizing the airport is unsafe for landing.
Basic radar service in the terminal radar program is best described as
Safety alerts, traffic advisories and limited vectoring to VFR aircraft.
VOR’s operate within which frequency range?
108.0 MHz to 117.95 MHz
ATC instructs you to “LINE UP AND WAIT”. You should, without hesitation
Proceed onto the runway, line up and wait for takeoff clearance.
From whom should a departing VFR aircraft request radar traffic information during ground operations?
Ground control, on initial contact.
If the control tower uses a light signal to direct a pilot to give way to other aircraft and continue circling, the light will be
steady red.
If the aircraft’s radio fails, what is the recommended procedure when landing at a controlled airport?
Observe the traffic flow, enter the pattern, and look for a light signal from the tower.
The combined components within an aircraft related to all communications and navigation are collectively referred to as what?
Avionics
The transponder code for a pilot to squawk if they have a Comm failure is
7600
A flashing white light signal from the control tower to a taxing aircraft is an indication to
return to the starting point at the airport.
When should pilots state their position on the airport when calling the tower for takeoff?
when departing from a runway intersection instead of the runway end (full runway)
An operable 4096-code transponder and Mode C encoding altimeter are required in
Class B Airspace and within 30 NM of the Class B primary airport.
If ATC responds to a pilot “CARRIER ONLY” the pilot transmitting should know
The transmission did not carry the voice transmission, no voice was received.
If a VOR frequency is underlined on a sectional chart it indicates
Two-way communication with ATC on that frequency is not possible.
The correct method of stating 4,500 feet MSL to ATC is
‘FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED.’
24. If instructed by ground control to taxi to Runway 9, the pilot may proceed
Via taxiways and across runways to, but not onto, Runway 9.
Which light signal from the control tower clears a pilot to taxi?
Flashing green.
If ATC responds with “BLOCKED” it is known by all that
Two or more communication transmissions have occurred on the same frequency at the same time.
The appropriate distance to transmit position and intentions at an uncontrolled airport while inbound for landing is
10NM
After landing at a tower-controlled airport, when should the pilot contact ground control?
When advised by the tower to do so.
The useful range to transmit and receive is the best when using VHF
Aircraft is higher
