AVIA UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Above Ground Level Altitude - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔AGL, Altitude expressed in feet
measured above ground level.
Air Traffic - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔AT, Aircraft operating in the air or on an airport
surface, exclusive of loading ramps and parking areas.
Air Traffic Clearance - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔An authorization by air traffic control for
the purpose of preventing collision between known aircraft, for an aircraft to proceed under
specified traffic conditions within controlled airspace. The pilot-in-command of an aircraft
may not deviate from the provisions of a Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) air traffic clearance except in an emergency or unless an amended clearance has
been obtained.
Air Traffic Control - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔ATC, A service operated by appropriate
authority to promote the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic.
Air Traffic Control Specialist - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔ATCS, A person authorized to
provide air traffic control service.
Airway - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A Class E airspace area established in the form of a
corridor, the centerline of which is defined by radio navigational aids.
Alert Area - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A type of Special Use Airspace which may contain
high volume of pilot training activities or an unusual type of aerial activity, neither of which
is hazardous to aircraft. Alert Areas are depicted on aeronautical charts for the information of
nonparticipating pilots. All activities within an Alert Area are conducted in accordance with
Federal Aviation Regulations, and pilots of participating aircraft as well as pilots transiting
the area are equally responsible for collision avoidance.
Altimeter Setting - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The barometric pressure reading used to
adjust a pressure altimeter for variations in existing atmospheric pressure or to the standard
altimeter setting (29.92).
, Altitude - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔The height of a level, point or object measured in feet
Above Ground Level (AGL) or from Mean Sea Level (MSL).
Controlled Firing Area - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔CFA, A type of Special Use Airspace
wherein activities are conducted under conditions so controlled as to eliminate hazards to
nonparticipating aircraft and to ensure the safety of persons and property on the ground.
Coordinated Universal Time - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔UTC, Time is given in Coordinated
Universal Time, the local standard time at the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England. Local
Standard Time is based on each 15° of longitude.
Distance Measuring Equipment - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔DME, Equipment (airborne and
ground) used to measure, in nautical miles, the slant range distance of an aircraft from the
DME navigational aid.
Fix - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A geographical position determined by visual reference to
the surface, by reference to one or more radio NAVAIDs, by celestial plotting, or by another
navigational device.
Flight Level - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔FL, A level of constant atmospheric pressure
related to a reference datum of 29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that
represent hundreds of feet. For example, flight level (FL) 250 represents a barometric
altimeter indication of 25,000 feet.
Flight Plan - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Specified information relating to the intended flight
of an aircraft that is filed orally or in writing with an FSS or an ATC facility.
Flow Control - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Measures designed to adjust the flow of traffic
into a given airspace, along a given route, or bound for a given aerodrome (airport) so as to
ensure the most effective utilization of the airspace.
General Aviation - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔GA, That portion of civil aviation which
encompasses all facets of aviation except air carriers holding a certificate of public
convenience and necessity from the Civil Aeronautics Board and large aircraft commercial
operators.
