Airport Operations

(Refer to Figure 80.) What do the blue shaded lines indicate throughout this sectional excerpt?

• Military training routes

• Airline corridors

• Victor airways

The recommended entry position for manned aircraft to enter an airport traffic pattern is:

• 45° to the base leg just below traffic pattern altitude.

• To enter 45° at the midpoint of the downwind leg at traffic pattern altitude.

• To cross directly over the airport at traffic pattern altitude and join the downwind leg.

When a manned aircraft is approaching to land at an airport in Class G airspace without an operating control tower, the pilot will:

• Enter and fly a traffic pattern at 800 feet AGL.

• Make all turns to the left, unless otherwise indicated.

• Fly a left-hand traffic pattern at 800 feet AGL.

Entries into traffic patterns by manned aircraft while descending create specific collision hazards and:

• Should be avoided.

• Should be used whenever possible.

• Are illegal.

• West

• North

An aircraft announces that they are on short final for runway 9. Where will the aircraft be in relation to the airport?

You are conducting sUAS operations northeast of a nearby airport. While monitoring the CTAF, an aircraft announces that it is departing runway 36 utilizing a right traffic pattern. Will the aircraft potentially conflict with your operation?

• No, the aircraft will be flying on the west side of the airport.

• No, the aircraft will be flying to the south of the airport.

• Yes, the aircraft may overfly northeast of the airport.

While operating a sUAS just south of a controlled airport with authorization, ATC notifies you to stay clear of the runway 6 final approach course. What action should you take to comply with this request?

• Stay clear of areas to the west and north of your area of operation.

• Stay clear of areas to the east and north of your area of operation.

• Stay clear of areas to the west and south of your area of operation.

When turning onto a taxiway from another taxiway, what is the purpose of the taxiway directional sign?

• Indicates direction to take-off runway

• Indicates designation and direction of exit taxiway from runway.
