An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot during a local flight: "TRAFFIC 2 O'CLOCK, 5 MILES, NORTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

A. Between directly ahead and 90° to the left.

B. Between directly behind and 90° to the right.

C. Between directly ahead and 90° to the right.

Correct! Wrong!

TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides

A. IFR separation (1,000 feet vertical and 3 miles lateral) between all aircraft.

B. warning to pilots when their aircraft are in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft.

C. sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft.

Correct! Wrong!

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying north in a calm wind: "TRAFFIC 9 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of recorded information concerning

A. pilots of radar-identified aircraft whose aircraft is in dangerous proximity to terrain or to an obstruction.

B. nonessential information to reduce frequency congestion.

C. noncontrol information in selected high-activity terminal areas.

Correct! Wrong!

The ATIS frequency is used to provide recorded information at busy airports. It is considered noncontrol information since no aircraft are controlled by recorded information. Answer A is incorrect because no aircraft are given terrain clearance warnings on the ATIS frequency. Answer B is incorrect because nonessential information would not (or should not) be transmitted.

A. 25 miles.

B. 20 miles.

C. 10 miles.

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 20, area 3.) What is the recommended communications procedure for a landing at Currituck County Airport?

A. Transmit intentions on 122.9 MHz when 10 miles out and give position reports in the traffic pattern.

B. Contact Elizabeth City FSS for airport advisory service.

C. Contact New Bern FSS for area traffic information.

Correct! Wrong!

Which transponder code should be used when in DISTRESS or for a general EMERGENCY?

B. 7600.

A. 7700.

B. 135.075 MHz.

C. 122.8 MHz.

Correct! Wrong!

An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying on a heading of 360°: "TRAFFIC 10 O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND..." Where should the pilot look for this traffic?

A. Northwest.
