Figure 26 
(Refer to figure 26, area 7.) The airspace overlying Mc Kinney 
(TKI) is controlled from the surface to 





   ANSWER: 2,900 feet MSL. 

   The airspace overlying Mc Kinney 
   airport (TKI) (Fig. 26, northeast of 7) is Class D airspace as 
   denoted by the segmented blue lines. The upper limit is 
   depicted in a broken box in hundreds of feet MSL to the left 
   of the airport symbol. The box contains the number "29," 
   meaning that the vertical limit of the Class D airspace is 2,900 
   feet MSL. 

Figure 26 
(Refer to figure 26, area 4.) The airspace directly overlying Fort 
Worth Meacham is 





   ANSWER: Class D airspace to 3,200 feet MSL. 

   The airspace overlying Fort Worth 
   Meacham (Fig. 26, southeast of 4) is Class D airspace as 
   denoted by the segmented blue lines. The upper limit is 
   depicted in a broken box in hundreds of feet MSL northeast 
   of the airport. Thus, the Class D airspace extends from the 
   surface to 3,200 ft. MSL. 

Figure 26 
(Refer to figure 26, area 8.) What minimum altitude is required to fly 
over the Cedar Hill TV towers in the congested area south of NAS 
Dallas? 





   ANSWER: 3,449 feet MSL. 

   The Cedar Hill TV towers (Fig. 26, 
   west of 8) have an elevation of 2,449 ft. MSL. The minimum 
   safe altitude over a congested area is 1,000 ft. above the 
   highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 ft. of the 
   aircraft. Thus, to vertically clear the towers, the minimum 
   altitude is 3,449 ft. MSL (2,449 + 1,000). 

Figure 22 
(Refer to figure 22.) The terrain elevation of the light tan area 
between Minot (area 1) and Audubon Lake (area 2) varies from 





   ANSWER: 2,000 feet to 2,500 feet MSL. 

   The requirement is the terrain 
   elevation in the tan area between 1 and 2 in Fig. 22. The tan 
   area indicates terrain between 2,000 ft. and 3,000 ft. The 
   elevation contours on sectionals vary by 500 ft. increments. 
   The 2,000-ft. contour line is located where the color changes 
   from light green to light tan. Since there is no other contour 
   line in the light tan area, the terrain elevation is between 
   2,000 ft. and 2,500 ft. MSL. Also, Poleschook Airport 
   (halfway between 1 and 2) indicates an elevation above MSL 
   of 2,245. 

Figure 26 
(Refer to figure 26, area 5.) The navigation facility at Dallas-Ft. 
Worth International (DFW) is a 





   ANSWER: VOR/DME. 

   On Fig. 26, DFW is located at the 
   center of the chart and the navigation facility is 1 NM south 
   of the right set of parallel runways. The symbol is a hexagon 
   with a dot in the center within a square. This is the symbol 
   for a VOR/DME navigation facility. 

Figure 21 
(Refer to figure 21, area 2.) The flag symbol at Lake Drummond 
represents a 





   ANSWER: visual checkpoint used to identify position for initial 
   callup to Norfolk Approach Control. 

   The magenta (reddish) flag (Fig. 21, 
   north of 2) at Lake Drummond signifies that the lake is a 
   visual checkpoint that can be used to identify the position 
   for initial callup to the Norfolk approach control. 

Figure 21 
(Refer to figure 21, area 5.) The CAUTION box denotes what hazard 
to aircraft? 





   ANSWER: Unmarked balloon on cable to 3,000 feet MSL. 

   On Fig. 21, northwest of 5, find 
   "CAUTION: UNMARKED BALLOON ON CABLE TO 3,000 
   MSL." This is self-explanatory. 

Figure 22 
(Refer to figure 22.) Which public use airports depicted are 
indicated as having fuel? 





   ANSWER: Minot Int'l (area 1) and Mercer County Regional Airport 
   (area 3). 

   On Fig. 22, the requirement is to 
   identify the airports having fuel available. Airports having 
   fuel available are designated by small squares extending 
   from the top, bottom, and both sides of the airport symbol. 
   Only Minot (area 1) and Mercer County Regional Airport 
   (area 3) have such symbols. 

Figure 24 
(Refer to figure 24.) The flag symbols at Statesboro Bullock County 
Airport, Claxton-Evans County Airport, and Ridgeland Airport are 





   ANSWER: visual checkpoints to identify position for initial callup 
   prior to entering Savannah Class C airspace. 

   On Fig. 24, note the flag symbols at 
   Claxton-Evans County Airport (1 in. to the left of 2), at 
   Statesboro Bullock County Airport (2 in. above 2), and at 
   Ridgeland Airport (2 in. above 3). These airports are visual 
   checkpoints to identify position for initial callup prior to 
   entering the Savannah Class C airspace. 

Figure 22 
(Refer to figure 22.) On what frequency can a pilot receive 
Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) in the 
vicinity of area 1? 





   ANSWER: 117.1 MHz. 

   On Fig. 22, 1 is on the upper left and 
   the Minot VORTAC information box is 1 in. below 1. 
   Availability of Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service 
   (HIWAS) will be indicated by a circle which contains an 
   "H," found in the upper right corner of a navigation 
   frequency box. Note that the Minot VORTAC information 
   box has such a symbol. Accordingly, a HIWAS can be 
   obtained on the VOR frequency of 117.1. 

Figure 26 
(Refer to figure 26, area 2.) The control tower frequency for 
Addison Airport is 





   ANSWER: 126.0 MHz. 

   Addison Airport (Fig. 26, area 2) 
   control tower frequency is given as the first item in the 
   second line of the airport data to the right of the airport 
   symbol. The control tower (CT) frequency is 126.0 MHz. 

What is it often called when a pilot pushes his or her capabilities 
and the aircraft's limits by trying to maintain visual contact with the 
terrain in low visibility and ceiling? 





   ANSWER: Scud running. 

   Scud running refers to a pilot's 
   pushing his/her capabilities and the aircraft's limits by trying 
   to maintain visual contact with the terrain while flying with a 
   low visibility or ceiling. Scud running is a dangerous (and 
   often illegal) practice that may lead to a mishap. This 
   dangerous tendency must be identified and eliminated. 

What often leads to spatial disorientation or collision with 
ground/obstacles when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR)? 





   ANSWER: Continual flight into instrument conditions. 

   Continuing VFR flight into instrument 
   conditions often leads to spatial disorientation or collision 
   with ground/obstacles due to the loss of outside visual 
   references. It is even more dangerous if the pilot is not 
   instrument qualified or current. 

What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and 
long term memory for repetitive tasks? 





   ANSWER: Checklists. 

   Neglect of checklists, flight planning, 
   preflight inspections, etc., is an indication of a pilot's 
   unjustified reliance on his/her short- and long-term memory 
   for repetitive flying tasks. 

What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as 
"Antiauthority"? 





   ANSWER: Follow the rules. 

   When you recognize a hazardous 
   thought, you should correct it by stating the corresponding 
   antidote. The antidote for the antiauthority ("Do not tell 
   me!") hazardous attitude is "Follow the rules; they are 
   usually right." 

What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as 
"Impulsivity"? 





   ANSWER: Not so fast, think first. 

   When you recognize a hazardous 
   thought, you should correct it by stating the corresponding 
   antidote. The antidote for the impulsivity ("Do something 
   quickly!") hazardous attitude is "Not so fast, think first." 

What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as 
"Invulnerability"? 





   ANSWER: It could happen to me.

   When you recognize a hazardous 
   thought, you should correct it by stating the corresponding 
   antidote. The antidote for the invulnerability ("It will not 
   happen to me") hazardous attitude is "It could happen to 
   me."
