AVIA QUIZ WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Above Ground Level Altitude - ANSWER✔✔-AGL, Altitude expressed in feet measured above ground
level.
Air Traffic - ANSWER✔✔-AT, Aircraft operating in the air or on an airport surface, exclusive of loading
ramps and parking areas.
Air Traffic Clearance - ANSWER✔✔-An authorization by air traffic control for the purpose of preventing
collision between known aircraft, for an aircraft to proceed under specified traffic conditions within
controlled airspace. The pilot-in-command of an aircraft may not deviate from the provisions of a Visual
Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) air traffic clearance except in an emergency or unless
an amended clearance has been obtained.
Air Traffic Control - ANSWER✔✔-ATC, A service operated by appropriate authority to promote the safe,
orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic.
Air Traffic Control Specialist - ANSWER✔✔-ATCS, A person authorized to provide air traffic control
service.
Airway - ANSWER✔✔-A Class E airspace area established in the form of a corridor, the centerline of
which is defined by radio navigational aids.

Alert Area - ANSWER✔✔-A type of Special Use Airspace which may contain high volume of pilot training
activities or an unusual type of aerial activity, neither of which is hazardous to aircraft. Alert Areas are
depicted on aeronautical charts for the information of nonparticipating pilots. All activities within an
Alert Area are conducted in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations, and pilots of participating
aircraft as well as pilots transiting the area are equally responsible for collision avoidance.
Altimeter Setting - ANSWER✔✔-The barometric pressure reading used to adjust a pressure altimeter for
variations in existing atmospheric pressure or to the standard altimeter setting (29.92).
Altitude - ANSWER✔✔-The height of a level, point or object measured in feet Above Ground Level (AGL)
or from Mean Sea Level (MSL).
Controlled Firing Area - ANSWER✔✔-CFA, A type of Special Use Airspace wherein activities are
conducted under conditions so controlled as to eliminate hazards to nonparticipating aircraft and to
ensure the safety of persons and property on the ground.
Coordinated Universal Time - ANSWER✔✔-UTC, Time is given in Coordinated Universal Time, the local
standard time at the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England. Local Standard Time is based on each 15° of
longitude.
Distance Measuring Equipment - ANSWER✔✔-DME, Equipment (airborne and ground) used to measure,
in nautical miles, the slant range distance of an aircraft from the DME navigational aid.
Fix - ANSWER✔✔-A geographical position determined by visual reference to the surface, by reference to
one or more radio NAVAIDs, by celestial plotting, or by another navigational device.

Flight Level - ANSWER✔✔-FL, A level of constant atmospheric pressure related to a reference datum of
29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that represent hundreds of feet. For example, flight
level (FL) 250 represents a barometric altimeter indication of 25,000 feet.
Flight Plan - ANSWER✔✔-Specified information relating to the intended flight of an aircraft that is filed
orally or in writing with an FSS or an ATC facility.
Flow Control - ANSWER✔✔-Measures designed to adjust the flow of traffic into a given airspace, along a
given route, or bound for a given aerodrome (airport) so as to ensure the most effective utilization of the
airspace.
General Aviation - ANSWER✔✔-GA, That portion of civil aviation which encompasses all facets of
aviation except air carriers holding a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Civil
Aeronautics Board and large aircraft commercial operators.
Global Positioning System - ANSWER✔✔-GPS, A space-based radio positioning, navigation, and time-
transfer system. The system provides highly accurate position and velocity information, and precise time,
on a continuous global basis, to an unlimited number of properly equipped users. The system is
unaffected by weather, and provides a worldwide common grid reference system
Handoff - ANSWER✔✔-An action taken to transfer the radar identification of an aircraft from one
controller to another if the aircraft will enter the receiving controller's airspace and radio
communications with the aircraft will be transferred.
