SCAN Homework #12

AIM Chapter 4.3:

1. How far out should you call the tower at an airport with an operating control tower?
 
2. Must you request a "frequency change" from tower before you switch frequencies once you 
	have left the airspace?
 
3. While operating into an airport with an operating control tower, yet no controlled 
	airspace to the surface, what is the typical altitude that controlled airspace 
	will begin over that airport?
 
4. If you are flying a helicopter, in which direction should you make your traffic pattern?
 
5. What is the "Departure leg?"
 
 
6. If tower tells you "suggest heading 360 to enter the downwind," must you fly a heading 
	of 360?  Why or why not?
 
 
7. What information does a wind tetrahedron provide you with?
 
 
8. If there is no segmented circle, where will the traffic pattern indicators be located?
 
9. What are the recommended departures from a non-towered airport?
 
 
10. To what altitude do military traffic patterns go up to?
 
11. If, upon arrival on final at RHV you find that you are very close to the traffic you 
	need to follow to land, can you make a 360 degree circle for spacing without 
	asking ATC permission?  How about shallow S-turns?
 
 
12. If the runway number is 15, what is the possible range of the runway's magnetic heading?
 
13. What is considered a "calm wind," when ATC determines the runway to use?
 
14. If you see ASDA - 5100 in the A/FD, what does that mean?
 
 
15. What type of NOTAM is created from a braking action report?
 
16. What does it mean if you hear "braking action advisories are in effect" over ATIS?
 
17. Is a MU value of 35 good or bad, and why?
 
 
18. When you are ready for takeoff from an intersection, what should you tell ATC to help 
	prevent a runway incursion?
 
 
19. What is the required wait time behind a large, non-heavy aircraft if you are taking 
	off from an intersection on the same runway?  (you are a light aircraft)
 
 
20. Are student pilots allowed to conduct LAHSO?
 
 
21. When conducting LAHSO, what information should the pilot have readily available?
 
 
22. While rolling down a runway you see a sign with "HS-1" in white letters on a red 
	background on the left and right of the runway, what does that mean?
 
 
23. If you wish to conduct a "low approach," when should you contact tower for permission?
 
24. If your radio goes out on the ground and you wish to attract the tower's attention, 
	what should you do?
 
 
25. When you get to the run-up area, when should you switch to tower frequency?
 
26. After landing, when should you switch to ground control?
 
27. Is it required for all pilots to read back runway and hold short instructions, or just 
	good technique?
 
 
28. If you land at an airport with crossing runways (SNS for example), can you exit the 
	runway onto the crossing runway (then a quick right or left after that to the 
	parallel taxiway) in order to help out traffic on final?  Why or why not?
 
 
29. What does the "option" allow you to do? And when should you request it?
 
 
30. What does "operation lights on" suggest that pilots do to help see and avoid other 
	aircraft?
 
 
 
31. When is it recommended that pilots turn on their anti-collision lights?
 
32. What lights should be turned on when cleared into position?   How about when cleared 
	for takeoff?
 
 
33. If you hear an aircraft with the call-sign "Flight Check" what does that mean?
 
 
 
34. At airports with AWOS/ASOS, how far out can you expect to receive the information?  
	And, where can you find the appropriate frequencies?









AIM Chapter 4.4:

1. Will a Special VFR clearance include an altitude for you to maintain?  Why or Why not?
 
 
 
2. If you accept instructions to follow another aircraft or maintain visual separation, 
	what are you acknowledging that you will do?
 
 
3. What is the recommended procedure for scanning for other aircraft?
 
 
 
4. In a low-wing aircraft
