Jeppesen Private Pilot Chapter 4,
Section A, B, C.
What is the most effective method to scan for other aircraft during the day? - answer
Through a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements, focusing for at least one
second in each 10 degree sector.
True/false. When looking through haze, air traffic and terrain features are not as close
as they appear. - answer False.
What is true regarding collision avoidance? - answer If there is no apparent relative
motion between another aircraft and yours, youre probably on a collision course.
What is the appropriate way to use a cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) to
avoid collision? - answer Continuously scan for traffic by looking outside and cross
check the CDTI to learn what areas need increased attention.
What are the proper control positions for taxiing in right quarter wing headwind? -
answerControl wheel to the right, elevator control neutral
Describe the recommended procedure to be used when it's necessary for you to
exchange flight controls with your instructor. - answerA 3 step process is recommended
when exchanging flight controls. The pilot passing the controls should announce, "you
have the flight controls." The pilot passing the controls should continue to fly until the
pilot taking the controls acknowledges the exchange by saying, "I have the flight
controls." A visual check is recommended to ensure that the other pilot actually has the
controls. The pilot passing should then state, "you have the controls."
Describe how runway numbers are determined. - answerRunway numbers correspond
to the runway's magnetic direction, rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees, with the last
zero omitted. The number at the approach end of the runway corresponds to your
heading when taking off or landing on that runway.
Explain the purpose of a displaced threshold and the operating limitations associated
with it. - answerUsually, a displaced threshold indicates that there are obstructions such
as trees, power lines, or buildings off the end of the runway. This might prevent a
normal descent and landing on the beginning portion of the pavement. Although the
pavement leading up to a displaced threshold may not be used for landing, it can be
available for taxing, the landing rollout, and takeoffs.
What marking indicates a closed runway? - answerA yellow X
