Figure 51 
(Refer to figure 51.) Which runway and traffic pattern should be 
used as indicated by the wind cone in the segmented circle? 





   ANSWER: Left-hand traffic on Runway 36. 

   The appropriate traffic pattern and 
   runway, given a wind from the northwest (Fig. 51), is 
   left-hand traffic on Runway 36, which would have a 
   quartering headwind. 

Figure 50 
(Refer to figure 50.) If the wind is as shown by the landing direction 
indicator, the pilot should land on 





   ANSWER: Runway 18 and expect a crosswind from the right. 

   Given a wind as shown by the 
   landing direction indicator in Fig. 50, the pilot should land to 
   the south on Runway 18 and expect a crosswind from the 
   right. The tetrahedron points to the wind which is from the 
   southwest. 

Figure 50 
(Refer to figure 50.) Select the proper traffic pattern and runway for 
landing. 





   ANSWER: Right-hand traffic and Runway 18. 

   The tetrahedron indicates wind 
   direction by pointing into the wind. On Fig. 50, Runways 4 
   and 22 are closed, as indicated by the X at each end of the 
   runway. Accordingly, with the wind from the southwest, the 
   landing should be made on Runway 18. Runway 18 has 
   right-hand traffic, as indicated by the traffic pattern indicator 
   at a 90° angle to the landing runway indicator in the 
   segmented circle. 

After landing at a tower-controlled airport, when should the pilot 
contact ground control? 





   ANSWER: When advised by the tower to do so. 

   After landing at a tower-controlled 
   airport, you should contact ground control on the 
   appropriate frequency only when instructed by the tower. 

If instructed by ground control to taxi to Runway 9, the pilot may 
proceed 





   ANSWER: via taxiways and across runways to, but not onto, 
   Runway 9. 

   A clearance to taxi to the active 
   runway means a pilot has been given permission to taxi via 
   taxiways and across intersecting runways to, but not onto, 
   the active runway. 

Who should not participate in the Land and Hold Short Operations 
(LAHSO) program? 





   ANSWER: Student pilots. 

   Land and hold short operations 
   (LAHSO) take place at some airports with an operating 
   control tower in order to increase the total capacity and 
   improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not 
   use the full length of the runway but, rather, that (s)he stop 
   and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, 
   taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. 
   Student pilots or pilots who are not familiar with LAHSO 
   should not participate in the program. 

Who has final authority to accept or decline any land and hold 
short (LAHSO) clearance? 





   ANSWER: Pilot-in-command. 

   Land and hold short operations 
   (LAHSO) take place at some airports with an operating 
   control tower in order to increase the total capacity and 
   improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not 
   use the full length of the runway but, rather, that (s)he stop 
   and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, 
   taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. 
   LAHSO requires familiarity with the available landing 
   distance (ALD) for given LAHSO combinations and with the 
   landing performance of the aircraft. The pilot in command 
   has the final authority to accept or decline any land and hold 
   short clearance. 

When should pilots decline a land and hold short (LAHSO) 
clearance? 





   ANSWER: When it will compromise safety. 

   Land and hold short operations 
   (LAHSO) take place at some airports with an operating 
   control tower in order to increase the total capacity and 
   improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not 
   use the full length of the runway but, rather, that (s)he stop 
   and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, 
   taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. 
   LAHSO requires familiarity with the available landing 
   distance (ALD) for given LAHSO combinations and with the 
   landing performance of the aircraft. Pilots are expected to 
   decline a land and hold short clearance if they determine that 
   it will compromise safety. 

Where is the "Available Landing Distance" (ALD) data published 
for an airport that utilizes Land and Hold Short Operations 
(LAHSO) published? 





   ANSWER: Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD). 

   Land and hold short operations 
   (LAHSO) take place at some airports with an operating 
   control tower in order to increase the total capacity and 
   improve the flow of traffic. LAHSO requires that a pilot not 
   use the full length of the runway but, rather, that (s)he stop 
   and hold short before reaching an intersecting runway, 
   taxiway, or other specified point on the landing runway. 
   LAHSO requires familiarity with the available landing 
   distance (ALD) for given LAHSO combinations and with the 
   landing performance of the aircraft. ALD data are published 
   in the special notices section of the Airport/Facility 
   Directory. 

What is the minimum visibility for a pilot to receive a land and hold 
short (LAHSO) clearance? 





   ANSWER: 3 statute miles. 

   You should receive a land and hold 
   short (LAHSO) clearance only when there is a minimum 
   ceiling of 1,000 ft. and visibility of 3 SM. The intent of 
   having basic VFR weather conditions is to allow pilots to 
   maintain visual contact with other aircraft and ground 
   vehicle operations. 

What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending 
VFR on an airway? 





   ANSWER: Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual 
   scanning of the airspace. 

   When climbing (descending) VFR on 
   an airway, you should execute gentle banks left and right to 
   facilitate scanning for other aircraft. Collision avoidance is a 
   constant priority and especially pertinent to climbs and 
   descents on airways where other traffic is expected. 

What ATC facility should the pilot contact to receive a special VFR 
departure clearance in Class D airspace? 





   ANSWER: Air Traffic Control Tower. 

   When special VFR is needed, the pilot 
   should contact the Air Traffic Control Tower to receive a 
   departure clearance in Class D airspace. 

Figure 52 
(Refer to figure 52.) If more than one cruising altitude is intended, 
which should be entered in block 7 of the flight plan? 





   ANSWER: Initial cruising altitude. 

   Use only your initial requested 
   altitude on your VFR flight plan to assist briefers in 
   providing weather and wind information. 

Figure 52 
(Refer to figure 52.) What information should be entered in block 9 
for a VFR day flight? 





   ANSWER: The name of destination airport if no stopover for more 
   than 1 hour is anticipated. 

   In Block 9 of the flight plan form in 
   Fig. 52, enter the name of the airport of last intended landing 
   for that flight, as long as no stopover exceeds 1 hr. 

Figure 52 
(Refer to figure 52.) What information should be entered in block 12 
for a VFR day flight? 





   ANSWER: The amount of usable fuel on board expressed in time. 

   Block 12 of the flight plan requires the 
   amount of usable fuel in the airplane at the time of departure. 
   It should be expressed in hours and minutes of flying time. 

How should a VFR flight plan be closed at the completion of the 
flight at a controlled airport? 





   ANSWER: The pilot must close the flight plan with the nearest FSS 
   or other FAA facility upon landing. 

   A pilot is responsible for ensuring 
   that the VFR or DVFR flight plan is canceled (FAR 91.153). 
   You should close your flight plan with the nearest FSS or, if 
   one is not available, you may request any ATC facility to 
   relay your cancellation to the FSS. 

When activated, an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) transmits 
on 





   ANSWER: 121.5 and 243.0 MHz. 

   When activated, an emergency 
   locator transmitter (ELT) transmits simultaneously on the 
   international distress frequencies of 121.5 and 243.0 MHz. 

Which procedure is recommended to ensure that the emergency 
locator transmitter (ELT) has not been activated? 





   ANSWER: Monitor 121.5 before engine shutdown. 

   To ensure that your ELT has not been 
   activated, you can monitor 121.5 MHz or 243.0 MHz in flight 
   when a receiver is available and prior to engine shut-down at 
   the end of each flight.
