Question 1
Which practice best describes how to scan for other aircraft in daylight?
Correct Answer:
Peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off center viewing
Explanation:
Scanning for traffic in daylight relies on using peripheral vision and a systematic sweep of small sky sectors. Your central vision is great for detail, but detecting distant or small aircraft against a bright sky is more effective when you look slightly off to the side and let your peripheral retina notice movement or contrast. Move your eyes in small, quick steps to cover the sky around you, pausing briefly in each sector to check for any aircraft. This approach prevents tunnel vision and increases your chances of spotting traffic that might be missed by focusing straight ahead or scanning only a few points. Focusing on the horizon or fixating on one spot can miss aircraft above, below, or off to the side, whereas scanning small sectors with off-center viewing makes use of peripheral vision to detect others.
Question 2
Which runway and traffic pattern should be used as indicated by the wind cone in the segmented circle?
Correct Answer:
Left-hand traffic on Runway 36
Explanation:
The wind cone shows where the wind is coming from, and the segmented circle uses that information to indicate the best runway and the direction of the traffic pattern. If the wind is coming from the north, the runway aligned north–south is the one that gives you a headwind on landing and takeoff, which is the preferred choice. The segmented circle also indicates the pattern around that runway is left-hand unless the chart says otherwise, so you would enter and exit the pattern on the left. Using a runway aligned east–west or any other direction would place you in a crosswind or tailwind relative to the wind shown, and the pattern direction would not align with the airport’s published setup, which is why that would not be correct.
Question 3
For a VASI, if you observe that you are above the glide slope, which statement is true?
Correct Answer:
The aircraft is above the glide slope
Explanation:
VASI shows your vertical position relative to the glide slope, using the color pattern of the lights to indicate whether you’re high, on target, or low. If you observe that you’re above the glide slope, you’re higher than the intended descent path, so the correct statement is that the aircraft is above the glide slope. Descend to re-intercept the glide path. The VASI doesn’t indicate left-right deviations, so being off course to the left isn’t something it communicates. If you were below the glide slope you’d be lower than the path, and if you were on the glide slope you’d be at the target path.
Question 4
If ATC advises radar service is terminated when the pilot is departing Class C airspace, the transponder should be set to code?
Correct Answer:
1200
Explanation:
When radar service is terminated, you switch the transponder to the standard VFR code. In the U.S., that is 1200. This indicates you’re operating under VFR with no discrete ATC assignment since you’re no longer under radar control. The other codes aren’t appropriate: 0000 is for emergencies, 1234 isn’t a valid or assigned code, and 4096 isn’t a valid four-digit octal squawk code. So, 1200 is the correct setting.
Question 5
Prior to entering an Airport Advisory Area, a pilot should
Correct Answer:
Contact the FSS for airport and traffic advisories
Explanation:
An Airport Advisory Area is a zone where pilots receive current traffic and field advisories to stay aware of other aircraft nearby. The best action before entering this area is to contact Flight Service Station because it provides airport advisories and traffic advisories, along with other important information, so you have up-to-date situational awareness before you enter the area. Approach control and tower handle control or sequencing within their respective controlled airspaces, and you don’t need explicit permission to enter an advisory area. ATIS gives weather and field information but not real-time traffic advisories, so it doesn’t fulfill the requirement.
