The KBEH Traffic Pattern

When the wind is blowing directly from the west, a pilot departing the Benton Harbor Airport should choose runway

• 10

• 28

• 14

• 32

A pilot taking off from runway 32 at the Benton Harbor Airport would be facing

• Southeast

• South

• Northwest

• North

(Distances from the main runway at KBEH are labeled with Red Letters.) An aircraft landing at the Airport should fly the downwind leg

• Parallel to 28 at position C

• Perpendicular to 10 at position A

• Parallel to 32 at position D

• Perpendicular to 14 at position B

Just before entering the downwind leg of a standard pattern, an aircraft landing on runway 32 would be flying

• west

• south

• east

• north

An aircraft landing at Benton Harbor will fly the final approach leg at an altitude

• between 1000 msl and 0 msl

• between 1000 agl and 0 agl

• less than 1600 agl and more than 600 agl

• less than 1600 msl and more than 600 msl

Which option is NOT available to pilots during landing?

• raising flaps to increase speed

• raising the nose to decrease speed

• increasing power to increase altitude

A pilot on short final judges that she is too high and will land too far down the runway. Select the best option for adjusting the approach.

• Raise the flaps 10 degrees and lower the nose.

• Reduce power and add flaps.

• Add power and lower the nose

The downwind leg is normally flown about 1/2 mile from the runway intended for landing. The primary reason for this distance is to ensure that

• an aircraft on the ground can see planes that are preparing to land.

• air traffic control can use light signals instead of radio communications.

• an aircraft with an engine failure at pattern altitude would be able to glide to the airport.

A right hand traffic pattern allows a pilot to

• avoid using the same runway being used by other planes.

• avoid a crosswind landing.

• avoid flying over populated areas

The crosswind leg of the traffic pattern is normally

• flown following the downwind leg of a right hand traffic pattern.

• flown with the aircraft flying directly into the wind.

• not flown unless a pilot chooses to remain in the traffic pattern following a takeoff.

• used only for emergency purposes.
