Wingtip vortices are created only when an aircraft is
Operating at high speeds
Heavily loaded
Developing lift
Wingtip vortices created by large aircraft tend to
Sink below the aircraft generating turbulence
Rise into the traffic pattern
Rise into the takeoff or landing path of a crossing runway
(Refer to pic) with winds reported as from 300 degrees at 4 knots, you are given instructions to taxi to runway 30 for departure and to expect to take off after an airliner, which is departing from runway 35L. What effect would you expect from the airliner’s vortices?
The winds will push the vortices into your takeoff path.
The crosswind will prevent lateral movement of the vortices
The downwind vortex will rapidly dissipate.
When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to
Rise from the crossing runway into the takeoff or landing path
Rise into the traffic pattern area surrounding the airport
Sink into the flight path of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence
When landing behind a large aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by staying
Above the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing beyond the large aircraft’s touchdown
Below the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing before the large aircraft’s touchdown point
Above the large aircraft’s final approach path and landing before the large aircraft’s touchdown point
The wind condition that requires maximum caution when avoiding wake turbulence on landing is a
Light, quartering headwind
Light, quartering tailwind
Strong headwind
How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?
Inward, upward, and around each tip
Inward, upward, and counterclockwise
Outward, upward, and around each tip
When the landing behind a large aircraft, which procedure should be followed for vortex avoidance?
Stay above its final approach flight path all the way to touchdown
Stay below and to one side of its final approach flight path
Stay well below its final approach flight path and land at least 2,000 feet behind
The greatest vortex strength occurs when the generating aircraft is
Light, dirty, fast
Heavy, dirty, fast
Heavy, clean, slow
When departing behind a heavy aircraft, the pilot should avoid wake turbulence by maneuvering the aircraft
below and downwind from heavy aircraft
Above and upwind from the heavy aircraft
Below and upwind from the heavy aircraft
Your flight takes you in the path of a large aircraft. In order to avoid the vortices you should fly
At the same altitude as the large aircraft
Below the altitude of the large aircraft
Above the flight path of the large aircraft
During a night flight, you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

During a night flight, you observe a steady white light in a flashing red light ahead and at the same attitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
The other aircraft is flying away from you
The other aircraft is crossing to the left
The other aircraft is crashing to the right
During a night flight, you observe steady red and green lights ahead and at the same attitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?
The other aircraft is crossing to the left
The other aircraft is flying away from you
The other aircraft is approaching head on
How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?
The other aircraft will always appear to get larger and closer at a rapid rate
The nose of each aircraft is pointed at the same point in space
There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft
Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should
Not exceed 10° and view each other sector at least one second
Be 30° and view each sector at least three seconds
Use peripheral vision by scanning small sectors in utilizing off-center viewing
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision, avoidance, during daylight hours is to use
Regularly space concentration on the 3, 9 and 12 o’clock positions
A series of short, regular spaced eye-movements to search each 10° sector
Peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing
Prior to each starting maneuver, pilot should

Visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance
Announce their intentions on the nearest CTAF
What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?
Execute, gentle banks, left and right for continuous and visual scanning of the airspace
Advise the nearest capital FSS of the altitude changes
Fly away from the center line of the airway before changing altitude
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use
Regularly spaced concentration on the 3, 9, and 12 o’clock positions
A series of short, regularly spaced eye-movements to search each 30° sector
Peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing
Most mid air collision accidents occur during
Hazy days

Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with
The controlling agency

ATC
The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) specifically encourages pilots to turn on their landing lights when operating below 10,000 feet, day, or night, and especially when operating
In class B airspace
In conditions of reduced visibility
Within 15 miles of a towered airport
It is the responsibility of the pilot and crew to report a near midair collision as a result of proximity of at least
50 feet or less to another aircraft
500 feet or less to another aircraft
1,000 feet or less to another aircraft
ADS-B equipment is not required for aircraft in flight above 10,000 ft MSL
Because Class A airspace begins at 18,000 feet MSL
While that flight is still being conducted below 2,500 feet AGL
Because the equipment is not required above this altitude
Can aircraft without ADS-B Out equipment overfly Class C airspace?
Yes, as long as contact with the controlling facility is maintained for the duration of the overflight
Yes, if flight is maintained at or above 10,000 feet MSL
Yes, but only exceptional circumstances because flight over Class C airspace is not permitted without appropriate ADS-B equipment
ADS-B equipment offers many benefits to pilots; however, the range of coverage for air traffic controllers is
Limited, and often worse than radar
Restricted in remote areas such as mountainous terrain
Often better than radar, even in remote areas
Any airspace that requires the use of a transponder also requires aircraft to be
Equipped with specific ADS-B Out equipment
On a VFR flight plan with ADS-B Out in the transmit mode at all times
On an IFR flight plan with ADS-B Out equipment
Onboard ADS-B Out equipment is useful to pilots and ATC controllers
All the time, even when aircraft are positioned on the airport surface
Any time the aircraft is above 2,500 feet AGL
Only during the times ATC requires it to be active
When should ADS-B equipment be operated on the ground while taxiing?
Only when ATC specifically requests your ADA-B equipment be activated
Any time when the airport is operating under IFR conditions.
Al the time when on the airport surface.
