pilot expect the visibility requirement to be reported in lieu of the published RVR? - Answer-As a ground
viz of 1/2 SM
1155: All pilots should use the local altimeter setting because it provides - Answer-data to enable better
vertical separation of aircraft
How can you obtain the pressure altitude on flights below 18,000 feet? - Answer-Set your altimeter
29.92
how can you determine the pressure altitude on an airport without a tower or FSS? - Answer-set the
altimeter to 29.92 and read the altitude indicated
Which altitude is indicated when the altimeter is set to 29.92 Hg - Answer-Pressure
,Why is it important to have the correct altimeter setting? it allows the altimeter to read - Answer-true

which of the following indications would a pilot see while approaching to land on a runway served by a
2-bar VASI - Answer-if departing to the high side of the glidepath, the far bars will change from red to
white
The middle and far bars of a 3 bar VASI will - Answer-constitute a 2 bar vasi for using the upper glide
path
tricolor visual approach indicators normally consist of - Answer-a single unite projecting a three color
visual approach path
When on the proper glidepath of a 2-bar VASI, the pilot will see the near bar as - Answer-white and the
far bar as red
, If an approach is being made to a runway that has an operating 3 bar VASI and all the VASI lights appear
red as the aircraft reaches the MDA the pilot should - Answer-level off momentarily to intercept the
proper approach path
which is feature of the tricolor VASI - Answer-one light projector with three colors red, green, and
amber
which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glideoath of the
VASI? - Answer-safe obstruction clearance in the approach area
