The vertical limit of Class C airspace above the primary airport is 
normally 





   ANSWER: 4,000 feet AGL. 

   The vertical limit (ceiling) of Class C 
   airspace is normally 4,000 ft. above the primary airport 
   elevation. 

Under what condition may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport 
within Class C airspace? 





   ANSWER: The pilot must contact ATC as soon as practicable after 
   takeoff. 

   Aircraft departing from a satellite 
   airport within Class C airspace with an operating control 
   tower must establish and maintain two-way radio 
   communication with the control tower and thereafter as 
   instructed by ATC. When departing a satellite airport 
   without an operating control tower, the pilot must contact 
   and maintain two-way radio communication with ATC as 
   soon as practicable after takeoff.

Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with 





   ANSWER: all pilots. 

   Alert areas may contain a high volume 
   of pilot training or other unusual activity. Pilots using the 
   area as well as pilots crossing the area are equally 
   responsible for collision avoidance. 

Under what condition, if any, may pilots fly through a restricted 
area? 





   ANSWER: With the controlling agency's authorization. 

   An aircraft may not be operated 
   within a restricted area unless permission has been obtained 
   from the controlling agency. Frequently, the ATC within the 
   area acts as the controlling agent's authorization; e.g., an 
   approach control in a military restricted area can permit 
   aircraft to enter it when the restricted area is not active. 

Figure 27 
(Refer to figure 27.) What hazards to aircraft may exist in areas such 
as Devils Lake East MOA? 





   ANSWER: Military training activities that necessitate acrobatic or 
   abrupt flight maneuvers. 

   Military Operations Areas (MOAs) 
   such as Devils Lake East in Fig. 27 consist of defined lateral 
   and vertical limits that are designated for the purpose of 
   separating military training activities from IFR traffic. Most 
   training activities necessitate acrobatic or abrupt flight 
   maneuvers. Therefore, the likelihood of a collision is 
   increased inside an MOA. VFR traffic is permitted, but extra 
   vigilance should be exercised in seeing and avoiding military 
   aircraft. 

What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a 
Military Operations Area (MOA)? 





   ANSWER: Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being 
   conducted. 

   Military operations areas consist of 
   airspace established for separating military training activities 
   from IFR traffic. VFR traffic should exercise extreme caution 
   when flying within an MOA. Information regarding MOA 
   activity can be obtained from flight service stations (FSSs) 
   within 100 mi. of the MOA. 

Figure 21 
(Refer to figure 21.) What hazards to aircraft may exist in restricted 
areas such as R-5302B? 





   ANSWER: Unusual, often invisible, hazards such as aerial gunnery 
   or guided missiles. 

   The question asks what may exist in 
   restricted areas such as R-5302B (Fig. 21). Restricted areas 
   denote the existence of unusual, often invisible hazards to 
   aircraft such as military firing, aerial gunnery, or guided 
   missiles. 

A non-tower satellite airport, within the same Class D airspace as 
that designated for the primary airport, requires radio 
communications be established and maintained with the 





   ANSWER: primary airport's control tower. 

   Each pilot departing a non-tower 
   satellite airport, within Class D airspace, must establish and 
   maintain two-way radio communications with the primary 
   airport's control tower as soon as practicable after departing. 

The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on 





   ANSWER: the instrument procedures for which the controlled 
   airspace is established. 

   The lateral dimensions of Class D 
   airspace are based upon the instrument procedures for 
   which the controlled airspace is established. 

Prior to entering an Airport Advisory Area, a pilot should 





   ANSWER: contact the local FSS for airport and traffic advisories. 

   Airport Advisory Areas exist at 
   noncontrolled airports that have a Flight Service Station 
   (FSS) located on that airport. The FSS provides advisory 
   (not control) information on traffic, weather, etc., to 
   requesting aircraft. Accordingly, pilots should (not must) 
   contact FSSs for advisory services. 

Figure 22 
(Refer to figure 22, area 3.) What type military flight operations 
should a pilot expect along IR 644? 





   ANSWER: IFR training flights above 1,500 feet AGL at speeds in 
   excess of 250 knots. 

   In Fig. 22, IR 644 is below area 3. 
   Military training flights are established to promote 
   proficiency of military pilots in the interest of national 
   defense. Military flight routes below 1,500 ft. are charted 
   with four-digit numbers; those above 1,500 ft. have 
   three-digit numbers. IR means the flights are made in 
   accordance with IFR. (VR would mean they use VFR.) Thus, 
   IR 644, a three-digit number, is above 1,500 ft., and flights 
   will be flown under IFR rules. 

Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is the continuous 
broadcast of recorded information concerning 





   ANSWER: noncontrol information in selected high-activity terminal 
   areas. 

   The continuous broadcast of 
   recorded noncontrol information is known as the Automatic 
   Terminal Information Service (ATIS). ATIS includes 
   weather, active runway, and other information that arriving 
   and departing pilots need to know. 

Which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C 
airspace? 





   ANSWER: Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency. 

   Prior to entering Class C airspace, a 
   pilot must contact and establish communication with 
   approach control on the appropriate frequency. 

TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides 





   ANSWER: sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft. 

   TRSA service in the terminal radar 
   program provides sequencing and separation for all 
   participating VFR aircraft within the airspace defined as a 
   Terminal Radar Service Area (TRSA). Pilot participation is 
   urged but is not mandatory. 

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





   ANSWER: Ground control, on initial contact. 

   Pilots of departing VFR aircraft are 
   encouraged to request radar traffic information by notifying 
   ground control on initial contact with their request and 
   proposed direction of flight. 

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





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

   Basic radar service in the terminal 
   radar program provides safety alerts, traffic advisories, and 
   limited vectoring (on a workload-permitting basis) to VFR 
   aircraft. 

If Air Traffic Control advises that radar service is terminated when 
the pilot is departing Class C airspace, the transponder should be 
set to code 





   ANSWER: 1200. 

   The code 1200 designates VFR 
   operations when another number is not assigned by ATC. 

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





   ANSWER: 7500, 7600, 7700. 

   Some special codes set aside for 
   emergencies should be avoided during routine VFR flights. 
   They are 7500 for hijacking, 7600 for lost radio 
   communications, and 7700 for a general emergency. 
   Additionally, you should know that code 7777 is reserved 
   for military interceptors. 

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





   ANSWER: 1200. 

   The standard VFR transponder code 
   is 1200. Since all flight operations above 18,000 ft. MSL are 
   to be IFR, code 1200 is not used above that height. 

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot 
flying on a heading of 090°:

"TRAFFIC 3 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, WESTBOUND..."

Where should the pilot look for this traffic? 





   ANSWER: South. 

   If you receive traffic information 
   service from radar and are told you have traffic at the 3 
   o'clock position, traffic is in the direction of the right 
   wingtip, or to the south. 

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot 
flying on a heading of 360°:

"TRAFFIC 10 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND..."

Where should the pilot look for this traffic? 





   ANSWER: Northwest. 

   The controller is telling you that 
   traffic is at 10 o'clock and 2 mi. 9 o'clock is the left wingtip, 
   and 10 o'clock is 2/3 of the way from the nose of the airplane 
   (12 o'clock) to the left wingtip. Thus, you are looking 
   northwest. 

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? 





   ANSWER: Between directly ahead and 90° to the right. 

   The right wingtip is 3 o'clock, and the 
   nose is 12 o'clock. A controller report of traffic 2 o'clock, 5 
   mi., northbound indicates that the traffic is to the right of the 
   airplane's nose, just ahead of the right wingtip.
