Question:
2._ Which runway marking indicates a displaced threshold on an instrument runway?
Answer:
Arrows leading to the threshold mark. - On any runway, a displaced threshold is
marked with a series of arrows in the middle of the runway pointing to the threshold
mark, which is a solid line across the runway. A displaced threshold is available for
taxing, landing rollout, and takeoff, but not landing.
Question:
3._ (Refer to figure 137 below.) What is the displace (A) from the beginning of the
runway to the fixed distance marker?
Answer:
1,000 feet-The fixed distance marker on precision instrument runways consists of two
heavy lines parallel to the direction of the runway, 1,000 feet. from the runway
threshold.
Question:
5._ (Refer to figure 137 above.) What is the distance (C) from the beginning of the
touchdown zone marker to the beginning of the fixed distance marker?
Answer:
500 feet. - Since the touchdown zone marker is 500 feet from the runway threshold and
the fixed distance marker is 1,000 feet from the runway threshold, the distance from
the beginning to touchdown zone marker to the beginning of the fixed distance marker
is 500 ft. (1,000-500).
, Question:
6._ Destination signs indicate.
Answer:
The direction of the takeoff runway. - Destination sign direct pilots to a destination on
the airport. These signs can direct pilot to runways, taxiways, aprons, terminals, FBOs,
cargo areas, civil aviation areas, ands military areas.
Question:
9._ The "No Entre" sign identifies
Answer:
Pave area where aircraft entry is prohibited-No entry sign consists of white horizontal
line surrounded by white circle on red background. These signs are posted at points
where aircraft entry is prohibited. These signs are typically found on taxiways that are
intended to be used only one direction and at the intersection of vehicles roadway with
runway, taxiway, or ramp areas where the road may be mistaken for a taxiway or other
aircraft movement area.
Question:
16._ "Runway hold position" markings on the runway
Answer:
Identifies where aircraft hold short of the runway. - Runway holding position markings
on taxiways identify the location where you are supposed to stop when you do not
have an ATC clearance to proceed at an airport with an operating control tower or
without making sure if adequate separation at an airport without an operating control
tower. These markings consist of your yellow lines, two solid and two dashed, spaced 6
inches apart and extending across the width of the taxiway, with the dashed lines
nearest the runway. The solid lines are always on the side where the aircraft is to hold.
Question:
19._ (Refer to figure 94 on page.) Mandatory airport instructions signs are designated
by having
Answer:
White lettering with a red background. -Mandatory airport instructions signs have a red
background with white lettering and are used to denote an entrance to runway or
critical area and areas where an aircraft is prohibited from entering.
