| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| World aeronautical charts | are designed to provide a standard series of aeronautical charts, covering land areas of the world, at a size and scale convenient for navigation by moderate speed aircraft |
| Which statement is true? The Ryan Airport *map* | has a part-time control tower, part-time runway lights, and Class D airspace up to but not including 4,200 feet MSL. |
| Sectional aeronautical charts are revised | semiannually except for some areas outside the conterminous United States. |
| The equator is an imaginary circle equidistant from | the geographical poles of the Earth. |
| Over the town of Buena Vista, at what altitude does the airspace change from Class G to Class E? *map* | 700 feet AGL. |
| Over the town of Salida, at what altitude does the airspace change from Class G to Class E? *map* | 1,200 feet AGL |
| World aeronautical charts have a scale of | 1:1,000,000 (1 inch = 13.7 NM or approximately 16 SM). |
| VFR terminal area charts | are helpful when flying in or near Class B airspace. |
| What is the approximate latitude and longitude of the Wray Airport (2V5)? | 40 degrees 06'N-102 degrees 15'W |
| What is the minimum number of GPS satellites that are observable by a user anywhere on earth? | 5 |
| Which statement about longitude and latitude is true? | Lines of longitude cross Equator at right angles. |
| What minimum radio equipment is required to land and takeoff at Tucson International Airport? *map* | Mode C transponder and two-way radio. |
| If the Front Range airport control tower is not in operation, which frewuency should be used as the CTAF to monitor airport traffic? *map* | 120.2 |
| Parallels of latitude are used to measure | distance north (N) or south (S) of the equator. |
| Pilotage is a method of navigating by reference to | visible landmarks. |
| Sectional aeronautical charts | provide an abundance of information including airport data, navigational aids, airspace, and topography. |
| Sectional aeronautical charts have a scale of | 1:500,000 (1 inch = 6.86 NM or approximately 8SM). |
| What is the height of the lighted obstacle approximately 6 nautical miles southwest of Savannah International? *map* | 1,549 feet MSL. |
| The CTAF frequency for the Grand Junction airport is *map* | 118.1 |
| VFR terminal area charts have a scale of | 1:250,000 (1 inch = 3.43 NM or approximately 4 SM). |
| The vertical limits of that portion of Class E airspace designated as a Federal Airway over Magee Airport are *map* | 1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet MSL. |
| The meridians are also useful for designating | time zones. |
| The "Prime Meridian" which passes through Greenwich, England, is used as the zero line from which measurements are made in degrees | east (E) and west (W) to 180 degrees. |
| If you climb straight up from the surface at Phoenix Goodyear (as if riding in a rocket), what types of airspace will you pass through and at what altitudes wil you transition from one type to another? *map* | Class D airspace exists between the surface and 2,999'MSL. Class E airspace exists from 3,000'MSL to 3,999'MSL. |
| Time zones are normally established for each ______degrees of longitude. | 15 |
| What is the floor of the Savannah Class C airspace at the shelf area? *map* | 1,300 feet MSL. |
| Three methods of air navigation are: | pilotage, dead reckoning, and radio navigation. |
| The elevation of the Chesapeake Regional Airport is *map* | 19 |
| The three aeronautical charts published by the FAA and used by VFR pilots are: | sectional, terminal area, world aeronautical charts. |
| Which is true concerning the blue and magenta colors used to depict airports on Sectional Aeronautical Charts? | Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are shown in blue. |
| Meridians of longitude are | from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator. |
| What is the field elevation at Alexander (ANK)? *map* | 7,523 feet MSL |
| What does the solid magenta line represent? *map* | Mode C veil. |
| What type of airspace surrounds Luke AFB? *map* | Class D airspace. |
| Over Granite Mountain Lodge (lower left), at what altitude does the airspace change from Class G to Class E? *map* | 15,500 feet MSL |
| The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is | magnetic variation. |
| What is the approximate latitude and longitude of the Mineral County Memorial Airport (C24)? *map* | 37 degrees 49'N-106degrees56'W |
| Over Thirtynine Mile Mountain (upper right), at what altitude does the airspace change from Class G to Class E? *map* | 14,500 feet MSL |
| As standard operating practice, all inbound traffic to an airport without a control tower should continuously monitor the appropriate facility from a distance of | 10 miles. |
| Since the day is divided into 24 hours, the Earth rotates at the rate of | 15 degrees an hour. |
| Which VFR cruising altitude is acceptable for a flight on a Victor Airway with a magnetic course of 175 degrees? The terrain is less than 1,000 feet. | 5,500 feet. |
| Dead reckoning is a method of navigating by | computations of direction and distance from a known position. |
