Question 1
Which heading is 150 degrees?
Correct Answer:
150
Explanation:
Headings are read clockwise from north, so the 0/360 mark is north, 90 is east, and 180 is south. A heading of 150 degrees lies between east and south, in the southeast quadrant. Among the options, the one that shows 150 degrees exactly matches the requested heading, making it correct. The other numbers (100, 140, 160) are not 150, so they don’t fit.
Question 2
Which location is the exception to the 1 mile leg rule in SVFR holds?
Correct Answer:
Point Juniper
Explanation:
The rule behind SVFR holds is to keep the pattern tight and easy to manage in visual conditions, so most holds use a one-mile leg to maintain good visibility and separation from the fix and other traffic. But some fixes have hold geometry that doesn’t fit the standard one-mile leg, so ATC may authorize a longer leg at those locations. Point Juniper is the exception because the hold geometry at Juniper requires a longer leg to properly sequence traffic and stay within the surrounding airspace constraints. The other points follow the standard one-mile-leg pattern.
Question 3
Which location corresponds to Fish?
Correct Answer:
Intersection of Blackwater river & Coldwater creek
Explanation:
This item tests recognizing a named navigation fix formed by the crossing of natural features. Fish is the position fix defined where the Blackwater River intersects Coldwater Creek, giving a precise reference point on the chart that pilots can identify by features on the ground. The other options describe structures or lines (a tower, a power-line intersection, or a power line near a large estate) rather than a natural-feature intersection used as a charted fix. So, the location that corresponds to Fish is where the Blackwater River meets Coldwater Creek.
Question 4
Holding arrival at Whiskey specifies holding at which point?
Correct Answer:
Hold at Whiskey
Explanation:
Holding arrival at Whiskey means the hold is located at the Whiskey fix. When an arrival instruction specifies holding at a named fix, that fix is the point where you must enter and remain in the published holding pattern to sequence for the approach. So you would fly to Whiskey and enter the hold there, following the published pattern (direction and leg length are defined for that fix). The other fixes listed—Fog, Echo, Juniper—are separate waypoints, not the designated hold point in this instruction.
Question 5
What airspeed is holding flown at?
Correct Answer:
80 KIAS
Explanation:
In rotorcraft holds, the standard practice is to fly at 80 KIAS. This speed gives a predictable, manageable standard‑rate turn (about 3 degrees per second) with a moderate bank angle, typically around 12–15 degrees, so you can maintain the holding pattern reliably in wind and with altitude control. ATC may instruct a different speed, but 80 KIAS is the typical default for a standard hold. Speeds like 60–70 KIAS are slower than the standard hold and would change the turn dynamics, while 90 KIAS is faster and would widen the turn radius—both deviating from the usual hold profile.
