IRA Test Questions (General)
RVR is not available for the runway you intend to use. For RVR 2400 you should
substitute - Answers -1/2SM ground visibility
All pilots should use the local altimeter setting because it provides - Answers -data to
enable better vertical separation of aircraft
how can you determine the pressure altitude on an airpower without a tower of FSS? -
Answers -set the altimeter to 29.92"Hg and read the altitude indicated
Which altitude is indicated when the altimeter is set to 29.92" Hg? - Answers -pressure
why is it important to have the correct altimeter setting? it allows the altimeter to read -
Answers -true altitude at field elevation
Pressure altitude is the altitude read on your altimeter when the instrument is set to
29.92 and indicated your height above - Answers -the standard datum plane
if you adjust the altimeter from 30.11 inches Hg to 29.96 inches Hg, the indicated
altitude would be - Answers -150 feet lower
which of the following defines the type of altitude used when maintaining FL210 -
Answers -pressure
Unless a higher angle is necessary for obstacle clearance, what is the normal glide path
angle for a 2 bar VASI - Answers -3 degrees
Which of the following indications would a pilot see while approaching to land on a
runway served by a 2-bar VASI - Answers -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 - Answers -constitute a 2 bar VASI for using
the upper glidepath
Tricolor visual approach indicators normally consist of - Answers -a single unit,
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 -
Answers -white and the far bar as red
, When conducting a non-precision approach, the pilot reaches the missed approach
point and observes that all three bars of a 3 bar VASI are red. The pilot should -
Answers -Level off momentarily to intercept the proper approach path.
Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper
glidepath of the VASI - Answers -safe obstruction clearance in the approach area
unless a higher angle is required for obstacle clearance, what is the normal glidepath for
a 3 bar VASI - Answers -3 degrees
Which type of runway lighting consists of a pair of synchronized flashing lights, one on
each side of the runway threshold? - Answers -REIL
the primary purpose of runway end identifier lights, installed at many airfields, is to
provide - Answers -rapid identification of the approach end of the runway during
reduced visibility.
"Runway hold position" markings on the taxiway - Answers -identifies where aircraft
hold short of the runway
the "No Entry" sign identifies - Answers -paved area where aircraft entry is prohibited
When turning onto a taxiway from another taxiway, the "Taxiway directional sign"
indicates - Answers -designation and direction of taxiway leading out of an intersection
mandatory airport instruction signs are designated by having - Answers -white lettering
with a red background
Hold line markings at the intersection of taxiways and runways consist of four lines that
extend across the with of the taxiway. These lines are - Answers -yellow, and the
dashed lines are nearest the runway
which runway marking indicated a displaced threshold on an instrument runway -
Answers -arrows leading to a threshold mark
Which condition is guaranteed for all of the following altitude limits: MAA, MCA, MRA,
MOCA, and MEA - Answers -1,000 foot obstacle clearance.
Which aeronautical chart depicts military training routes (MTR) above 1,500 feet -
Answers -IFR low altitude enroute chart
during a flight, the controller advises "Traffic 2 o'clock 5 miles southbound" the pilot is
holding a 20 degree correction for a crosswind from the right. Where should the pilot
look for traffic? - Answers -40 degrees to the right of the aircrafts nose.
