Takeoffs, Landings, and Go-Arounds - FAA PPL(A) - Private Pilot Airplane

Question 1

Which approach and landing objective is assured when the pilot remains on the proper glidepath of the VASI?

Accepted Answer

Safe obstruction clearance in the approach area

Answer

Lateral course guidance to the runway

Answer

Runway identification and course guidance

Question 2

When approaching to land on a runway served by a visual approach slope indicator (VASI), the pilot shall

Accepted Answer

maintain an altitude at or above the glide slope

Answer

maintain an altitude that captures the glide slope at least 2 miles downwind from the runway threshold

Answer

remain on the glide slope and land between the two-light bar

Question 3

(Refer to figure 49.) Select the proper traffic pattern and runway for landing.

Accepted Answer

Right-hand traffic and Runway 18

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 22

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 18

Question 4

What is the objective of a stabilized approach?

Accepted Answer

The airplane should be on speed, in trim, configured for landing, tracking the extended centerline of the runway, and established in a constant angle of descent toward an aiming point on the runway

Answer

To maintain an airspeed +/- 20 knots and a descent rate of around 1,000 fpm

Answer

To be positioned and fully configured on the final approach leg at no less than 3 NM from the runway threshold

Question 5

What is wake turbulence?

Accepted Answer

The counter rotating vortices off the wingtips of an airplane generating lift

Answer

The air trailing behind an aircraft due to its prop wash while on the ground

Answer

The air trailing behind an aircraft due to its prop wash in flight

Question 6

Who has final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short (LAHSO) clearance?

Accepted Answer

Pilot in command

Answer

Air Traffic Controller

Answer

Second in command

Question 7

When taking off or landing at an airport where heavy aircraft are operating, one should be particularly alert to the hazards of wingtip vortices because this turbulence tends to

Accepted Answer

sink into the flightpath of aircraft operating below the aircraft generating the turbulence

Answer

rise from a crossing runway into the takeoff or landing path

Answer

rise into the traffic pattern area surrounding the airport

Question 8

A runway VASI system provides:

Accepted Answer

Visual descent information to the runway

Answer

Illumination to better see the landing area

Answer

Left and right descent guidance to the runway

Question 9

(Refer to Figure 49) In flying over the airport you notice the position of the tetrahedron and segmented circle. What runway and traffic pattern entry should you use?

Accepted Answer

Right-hand traffic and Runway 18

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 22

Answer

Left-hand traffic and Runway 18

Question 10

What is likely to occur if you lift off the runway before reaching rotation speed due to ground effect?

Accepted Answer

Inability to climb

Answer

Increase in stability

Answer

Decrease in thrust required to maintain flight
