RECEIVING ARDMORE VORTAC, OVER.
What is the recommended communications procedure for a landing at Currituck
County Airport? - ANSWER-Transmit intentions on 122.9 MHz when 10 miles out
and give position reports on the traffic pattern
Prior to entering an Airport Advisory Area, a pilot should - ANSWER-contact the local
FSS for airport and traffic advisories
As standard operating practice, all inbound traffic to an airport without a control tower
should continuously monitor the appropriate facility from a distance of - ANSWER-10
miles
When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent
selection of which code? - ANSWER-7500
When operating under VFR below 18000 feet MSL, unless otherwise authorized,
what transponder code should be selected - ANSWER-1200
If air traffic control advises that radar services is terminated when the pilot is
departing Class C airspace, the transponder should be set to code - ANSWER-1200
, When operating under WFR below 18,000 feet MSL, unless otherwise authorized,
what transponder code should be selected? - ANSWER-Mode 3/A code 1200
When making routine transponder code changes, pilots should avoid inadvertent
selection of which code? - ANSWER-7600, 7500,
While on a VFR cross country and not in contact with ATC, what frequency would
you use in the event of an emergency? - ANSWER-121.5
Unless otherwise authorized, if flying a transponder equipped aircraft, a pilot should
squawk which VFR code? - ANSWER-1200
Basic radar service in the terminal radar program is best described as - ANSWER-
safety alerts, traffic advisories, and limited vectoring to VFR aircraft
From whom should a departing VFR aircraft request radar traffic information during
ground operations? - ANSWER-ground control, on initial contact
TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides - ANSWER-sequencing and
separation for participating VFR aircraft

ANSWER-TRSA
How many satellites make up the Global Positioning System (GPS)? - ANSWER-24
what are the minimum number of GPS satellites that are observable by a user
anywhere on earth - ANSWER-5
How many GPS satellites are required to yield a three dimensional position
(longitude, latitude, and altitude) and time aolution? - ANSWER-4

ANSWER-the pilot has no assurance of the accuracy of the GPS position
A GPS with an expired database may be used - ANSWER-under the VFR flight for
situational awareness
can GPS be used as an altimeter? - ANSWER-No, there can be too many errors in

colder than standard air temperature
