FEAST Short-Term Memory Recall Questions and Answers 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: You are briefly shown the following aircraft data: AZA592 is at FL310. RYR884 is squawking 7001. EIN633 is on a heading of 190 degrees. After the data disappears, you are asked: What was the flight level of aircraft AZA592?
- FL 190
- FL 884
- FL 700
- FL 310 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: FL 310
The question requires the direct recall of a specific piece of information (flight level) associated with a specific callsign (AZA592) from a set of data presented briefly. The data explicitly stated AZA592 was at FL310.
Question 2: An aircraft, callsign GHI456, is initially cleared to squawk 5321. A few moments later, the controller issues a correction: 'GHI456, disregard previous, squawk 4227.' What is the final, correct squawk code for GHI456?
- 5321
- 4227 (Correct answer)
- 4560
- 5327
Correct answer: 4227
This question tests working memory and the ability to update information. The key is to recall the most recent, corrected instruction, not the initial one. The phrase 'disregard previous' indicates the first code is no longer valid.
Question 3: A controller issues a sequence of instructions to a pilot: 1. Turn left heading 330. 2. Descend and maintain FL120. 3. Reduce speed to 210 knots. Which of the following correctly represents the second command in the sequence?
- Turn left heading 330
- Reduce speed to 210 knots
- Descend and maintain FL120 (Correct answer)
- Contact approach on 119.5
Correct answer: Descend and maintain FL120
This question assesses the ability to remember a series of instructions in the correct order. The second instruction given in the list was to descend to flight level 120.
Question 4: You are given the following landing assignments: RYR321 is assigned runway 27L. EZS89P is assigned runway 27R. WIZ44K is assigned runway 27L. Which aircraft was assigned runway 27R?
- EZS89P (Correct answer)
- RYR321
- WIZ44K
- No aircraft was assigned 27R
Correct answer: EZS89P
This is a test of short-term memory recall and association. The information provided directly links the callsign EZS89P with runway 27R.
Question 5: For a brief period, you see the following flight data on your screen: - DLH182: Altitude 25000ft, Speed 420kts - KLM607: Altitude 27000ft, Speed 420kts - SWR319: Altitude 25000ft, Speed 450kts Based on this information, which two aircraft were at the same altitude?
- DLH182 and KLM607
- KLM607 and SWR319
- All were at different altitudes
- DLH182 and SWR319 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: DLH182 and SWR319
This tests the ability to hold multiple data points in short-term memory and perform a comparison. The data shows that both DLH182 and SWR319 were at an altitude of 25000ft.
Question 6: You hear the following transmission from approach control: 'SAS542, expect runway 09R, wind is 110 at 8 knots. BAW771, expect runway 09L, wind is 110 at 8 knots.' A pilot asks for a readback. Which runway was assigned to BAW771?
- 09L (Correct answer)
- 09R
- 110
- 08L
Correct answer: 09L
The question requires filtering information from a transmission that contains data for multiple aircraft. The controller explicitly assigned runway 09L to the callsign BAW771.
You are briefly shown the following aircraft data: AZA592 is at FL310.
RYR884 is squawking 7001.
EIN633 is on a heading of 190 degrees.
After the data disappears, you are asked: What was the flight level of aircraft AZA592?
