Lesson 6 - Communication and Flight Information

An ATC transponder was tested and inspected on March 15, 2018. The next test is due on

• September 30, 2018

• March 31, 2019

• March 31, 2020

From whom should a departing VFR aircraft request radar traffic information during ground operations?

• Clearance delivery.

• Tower, just before takeoff.

• Ground control, on initial contact.

When flying HAWK N123CB, the proper phraseology for initial contact with McAlester AFSS is

• "MC ALESTER RADIO, HAWK ONE TWO THREE CHARLIE BRAVO, RECEIVING ARDMORE VORTAC, OVER."

• "MC ALESTER STATION, HAWK ONE TWO THREE CEE BEE, RECEIVING ARDMORE VORTAC, OVER."

• "MC ALESTER FLIGHT SERVICE STATION, HAWK NOVEMBER THREE CHARLIE BRAVO, RECEIVING ARDMORE VORTAC, OVER."

As standard operating practice, all inbound traffic to an airport without a control tower should continuously monitor the appropriate facility from a distance of

• 25 miles.

• 20 miles.

• 10 miles.

When an air traffic controller issues radar traffic information in relation to the 12-hour clock, the reference the controller uses is the aircraft's

• true course.

• ground track.

• magnetic heading.

Basic radar service in the terminal radar program is best described as

• wind-shear warning at participating airports.

• safety alerts, traffic advisories, and limited vectoring to VFR aircraft.

• mandatory radar service provided by the Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) program.

When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent selection of which code?

• 7200.

• 7400.

• 7600.

When operating under VFR below 18,000 feet MSL, unless otherwise authorized, what transponder code should be selected?

• Mode 3/A code 1200.

• Mode F code 1200.

• Mode 3/A code 7700.

The correct method of stating 10,500 feet MSL to ATC is

• "TEN THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED FEET."

• "TEN POINT FIVE."

• "ONE ZERO THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED."

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight:

"TRAFFIC 2 O'CLOCK, 5 MILES, NORTHBOUND..."

Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

• Between directly ahead and 90° to the left.

• Between directly behind and 90° to the right.

• Between directly ahead and 90° to the right.
