PPLGS Module 5

While operating in Class D airspace, each pilot of an aircraft approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) shall

• maintain a 3° glide until approximately 1/2 mile to the runway before going below the VASI.

•  maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope until a lower altitude is necessary for a safe landing.

• stay high until the runway can be reached in a power-off landing.

When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall

•  maintain an altitude that captures the glide slope at least 2 miles downwind from the runway threshold.

• maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope.

• remain on the glide slope and land between the two-light bar.

Which is the correct traffic pattern departure procedure to use at a noncontrolled airport?

•  Depart in any direction consistent with safety, after crossing the airport boundary.

•  Make all turns to the left.

•  Comply with any FAA traffic pattern established for the airport.

The recommended entry position to an airport traffic pattern is

• 45° to the base leg just below traffic pattern altitude.

•  to enter 45° at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude.

• to cross directly over the airport at traffic pattern altitude and join the downwind leg.

Except in Alaska, during what time period should lighted position lights be displayed on an aircraft?

• End of evening civil twilight to the beginning of morning civil twilight.

•  1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise.

• Sunset to sunrise.

When operating an aircraft at cabin pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet MSL up to and including 14,000 feet MSL, supplemental oxygen shall be used during

• the entire flight time at those altitudes.

• that flight time in excess of 10 minutes at those altitudes.

• that flight time in excess of 30 minutes at those altitudes.

Unless each occupant is provided with supplemental oxygen, no person may operate a civil aircraft of U.S. registry above a maximum cabin pressure altitude of

• 12,500 feet MSL.

• 14,000 feet MSL.

• 15,000 feet MSL.

When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used?

• Aileron down on the downwind side.

• Ailerons neutral.

• Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing.

Which aileron positions should a pilot generally use when taxiing in strong quartering headwinds?

•  Aileron up on the side from which the wind is blowing.

•  Aileron down on the side from which the wind is blowing.

• Ailerons neutral.

Which wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nosewheel equipped high-wing airplane?

• Quartering tailwind.

• Direct crosswind.

• Quartering headwind.
