What are the requirements to descend below the MDA/DH?
Give this one a try later!
• Aircraft must be continuously in a position to descend to the runway using
normal rate of descent and maneuvers
• FLIGHT visibility not less than that prescribed for the approach
• At least ONE of the following visual references distinctly visible to the
pilot:
- Approach light system; may not descend below 100' above TDZE unless
red terminating bars or siderow bars are visible
- REIL
- VASI
- Threshold/threshold markings/lights
- Touchdown zone/touchdown zone markings/lights
- Runway/runway markings/lights
What color are the threshold lights?
,Give this one a try later!
Green.
What does airport beacon operation during the day indicate?

Instrument conditions
You arrive at the DA/MDA, what is required to continue the descent to landing?
Give this one a try later!
FAR 91.75 concerning descent below DA/MDA to 100 feet above TDZE...
• Red terminating bars
• REIL
• PAPI
• VASI
• etc.
If the temperature and dewpoint are within 2°C of each other, what weather
phenomenon would you expect?
Give this one a try later!
Fog
,Are cloud heights reported in AGL or MSL?
Give this one a try later!
Height above ground, or AGL.
On a precision approach, what is the missed approach point?
Give this one a try later!
DH on glideslope.
Can the area behind a displaced threshold be utilized for takeoff? for landing?
Give this one a try later!
Takeoff - Yes.
Landing - No.
What type of information should a pilot become familiar with prior to a flight?
Give this one a try later!
Weather Reports and Forecasts
Fuel Requirements
Alternates
Traffic Delays
Aircraft Performance
, Runway Lengths
NOTAMs
If the visibility falls to 1500' outside of the FAF, may you continue the approach?
Give this one a try later!
No, you must execute the missed approach.
How would you define "angle of attack"?
Give this one a try later!
The angle between the chord line of the wing and the relative wind.
What is the purpose of sweeping the wing on an aircraft?
Give this one a try later!
Delays the onset of "critical mach" by allowing the relative airflow to move
outward towards the wing tips, allowing the aircraft to reach a higher
speed.
You are being vectored for an approach and have been given a speed assignment of
210 KIAS. When can you change this speed?
