REPUBLIC AIRWAYS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
What are the altitude limitations for Class A airspace? - ANSWER FL 180–600
What should the altimeter be set at while climbing above 18,000 feet? - Answer:

What does airport beacon functioning throughout the day mean? - ANSWER
Instrument Conditions
Define "instrument conditions"? - ANSWER Ceiling less than 1000 feet and/or
visibility less than three statute miles.
What does the change in colour of the runway edge lights after landing indicate? -
ANSWER: 2000' of the remaining runway.
Where does the runway's touchdown zone begin and end? - ANSWER The first
3,000' starts at the threshold.
After landing, you'll see a sign next to the runway with a black background and a
white numeral. What does this indicate? - ANSWER The runway distance remains
in thousands of feet.
What does the change in runway centerline lights from white to alternating red and
white indicate? - ANSWER: 3,000 feet of runway remaining.
Can the region behind a shifted threshold be used for takeoff? For landing? -
ANSWER Takeoff: Yes.
Landing - No.
,When may you land on a VASI-served runway and descend below the glideslope? -
ANSWER When a lower altitude is required for a safe landing.
Which colour are the threshold lights? - ANSWER: Green.
Which color are the touchdown zone lights? How far do they extend along the
runway? - ANSWER Consistent white lights that begin 100 feet beyond the
threshold and extend 3,000 feet beyond the threshold, or until the runway endpoint,
whichever is shorter.
Can you exit onto a crossing runway after landing? - Respond only if instructed by

ANSWER Weather Reports and Forecast
Fuel requirements
Alternates
Traffic delays

Runway lengths
NOTAMs
Do we need to file an alternate for arrival at XXXXz based on the METAR/TAF
provided below? Why, or why not? - ANSWER Read Weather and show the 1-2-3
rule.
Does an alternate airport require weather reporting? - ANSWER Yes, the weather
at the time of arrival must be above the prescribed minimums, and weather
reporting is required to determine this.
What is the fuel need for an IFR flight? - ANSWER Fly to your location.
