Final exam
Test your knowledge
1. True or False:
A pilot on final approach crabs into a crosswind so that his track is exactly aligned with the extended runway centerline. This means that the airplane is no longer drifting.
2. Which of the following does not belong?
a. radiation
b. upslope
c. downslope
d. advection
5. When exiting the runway after landing at a towered airport, the airplane is not considered clear of the runway until
a. the entire aircraft has passed beyond the runway shoulder line.
b. the entire aircraft has passed beyond the edge of the runway.
c. part of the aircraft has crossed the double yellow lines.
d. the entire aircraft has passed beyond the double yellow lines.
Final Exam Answers
1. False: When a pilot crabs into a crosswind to maintain a desired course, he is allowing his aircraft to drift along that course. An airplane is always drifting when under the influence of a crosswind.
2. Radiation, upslope, and advection are types of fog. There is no such thing as downslope fog.
3. “Over” and “out” contradict each other. “Over” means that you expect a reply; “out” means that you are not expecting a reply and rarely is used in aviation communications.
4. All instrument indications would be normal during the takeoff roll. After liftoff and during climb, however, the vertical speed indicator and altimeter would not change. The airspeed indicator would indicate increasingly high as actual altitude is gained.
5. (d) These lines are the “holding position markings” (also known as hold-short lines).
