FREE Air Controller Trivia Question and Answers

The navigational tool made especially for military requirements is

VOR

TACAN

VORTAC

VOT

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Military aircraft utilize a navigation system known as a tactical air navigation system, or TACAN for short. The user receives the bearing and distance (slant-range or hypotenuse) to a station on land or in the water. For civil aviation, it is a more precise version of the VOR/DME system that gives bearing and range information.

Two aircraft are requesting to leave the same airport at the same time, and their assigned courses are 135 degrees apart, with one going northeast and the other going west.

No separation is required as there is no conflict.

Separation is required as the protected airspace for each does NOT overlap

The controller must provide some type of separation

A minimum of 1,000 feet must separate the two aircraft, according to the transferring controller.

Correct! Wrong!

Yes/No: Aircraft making initial contact: Arrival Tower Ground Tower Departure Approach Center Ground

Yes

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Automatic Terminal Information Service is referred to as an ATIS. This entails broadcasting pre-written announcements on a radio frequency at international airports. In order to obtain the necessary information first, pilots frequently listen to the ATIS broadcast before speaking with the air traffic control unit.

A distance of at least 1,000 feet must exist between the two aircraft, according to the transferring controller.

The transferring controller must make sure there are at least 1,000 feet between the two aircraft.

No separation is required as there is no conflict

Separation is required as the protected airspace for each does NOT overlap.

The controller must provide some type of separation.

Correct! Wrong!

Arriving aircraft reported leaving 8,000 for 4,000 and another reported overflying the airport VORTAC at 6,000 (both estimating a common fix at 9 minutes apart); these reports were from aircraft that have reported leaving the airport.

A minimum of 1,000 feet must separate the two planes, according to the transferring controller.

As the protected airspace for each does NOT intersect, separation is necessary.

No separation is required as there is no conflict.

The controller must provide some type of separation.

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the clearance items mentioned by a controller is NOT included?

departure speed

route of flight

aircraft ID

clearance limit

Correct! Wrong!

In Morse Code, VORs are designated by __ letters.

one

two

three

four

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
Pilots employing VOR azimuth with TACAN distance can be guaranteed that both signals being received are actually coming from the same ground station by using the three-letter codes used to identify the VOR and TACAN transmitting signals.
