,QUESTION: A lighted land airport would have what color beacon?
a. Two quick white flashes followed by a green flash
b. Flashing white and yellow
c. Flashing white, green and yellow
d. Flashing white and green
ANSWER: d. Flashing white and green
Rationale: Civilian lighted land airports use alternating white and green beacon flashes for
identification.
QUESTION: The type of visibility when reported in a METAR is always reported in “SM.”
a. Prevailing Visibility
b. RVR
c. Sector Visibility
d. RVV
ANSWER: a. Prevailing Visibility
Rationale: METAR visibility in statute miles (SM) refers to prevailing visibility, not RVR or
sector visibility.
QUESTION: A lighted heliport would have what color beacon?
a. Two quick white flashes followed by a green flash
b. Flashing white and yellow
c. Flashing white, green and yellow
d. Flashing white and green
ANSWER: c. Flashing white, green and yellow
Rationale: Heliports are identified by alternating white, green, and yellow beacon flashes.
,QUESTION: What are the four elements of a METAR that are NOT stated as missing if they are
not in the report?
a. Wind, Dew Point, Present Weather Group, Remarks
b. Dew Point, Present Weather Group, Remarks, Altimeter
c. Report Modifier, RVR, Present Weather Group, Remarks
d. RVR, Present Weather Group, Dew Point, Remarks
ANSWER: c. Report Modifier, RVR, Present Weather Group, Remarks
Rationale: These elements are omitted entirely if not applicable and are not reported as
“missing.”
QUESTION: What medium black lines provide navigation to the arrival fix?
a. Arrival route
b. Departure route
c. Transition route
d. SID
ANSWER: c. Transition route
Rationale: Transition routes connect en route structure to arrival fixes on instrument procedures.
QUESTION: Tunneling and Capping are an example of what Traffic Management Initiative
(TMI)?
a. Reroutes
b. Altitude
c. Fix balancing
d. Ground stops
ANSWER: b. Altitude
Rationale: Tunneling and capping restrict aircraft to specific altitude strata to manage traffic
flow.
, QUESTION: What type of TMI will provide an Expect Departure Clearance Time (EDCT) for
an aircraft based on its estimated time en route and its arrival slot?
a. Ground stop (GS)
b. Ground delay program (GDP)
c. Sequencing program
d. Capping
ANSWER: b. Ground delay program (GDP)
Rationale: GDPs assign EDCTs to manage arrival demand at constrained airports.
QUESTION: What kind of TMI assigns a departure time to achieve a constant flow of traffic
over a common point?
a. Altitude
b. Fix balancing
c. Sequencing program
d. Miles in trail (MIT) or Minutes in trail (MINIT)
ANSWER: c. Sequencing program
Rationale: Sequencing programs space departures to ensure a smooth, continuous flow over a
fix.
QUESTION: A specified number of miles between aircraft that meet specific criteria, such as
similar operating speeds, is what kind of TMI?
a. Minutes in trail (MINIT)
b. Sequencing program
c. Reroutes
d. Miles in trail (MIT)
ANSWER: d. Miles in trail (MIT)
Rationale: MIT assigns a required distance spacing between aircraft to manage traffic density.
