Distance from the runway threshold to the mast stobe is?
200 ft 1200ft
When are you established on final approach course during a Localizer?
You are established on the final approach course during a Localizer when your aircraft's lateral deviation indicator is centered, indicating that you are aligned with the runway centerline. This typically occurs after intercepting the localizer signal, which provides guidance to the runway. Pilots should aim to maintain this alignment as they descend towards the runway, ensuring that they follow the correct glide path for a safe landing.
Which way the papi lights must always be placed in increments of ten feet if the runway reference point is lower than the runway threshold the distance calculated for papi location is rounded?
Up
What is runway threshold light?
these are the lights that are placed in the areas where the aircraft first touches the runway. the runway threshold ligts should be placed perpendicular to runway center line and as close as possible.The lights should show visible green in the direction of aircraft.
What best describes the approach lights?
Extend 1,000 ft from the runway centerline from threshold/End lights to the Strobe.
What are the colors of runway edge lights?
Runway edge lights are typically white and are used to delineate the edges of the runway during night operations or low visibility conditions. They may be green at the start of the runway, indicating the threshold, and red at the end, signaling the runway's end. In some cases, the lights can also be adjusted to different colors for specific operational needs, such as during construction or when the runway is closed.
Where would 4-22 sign be located on a aircraft runway?
The 4-22 sign on an aircraft runway indicates that the runway is oriented in a 040-degree and 220-degree direction, typically found at the ends of the runway. These signs are located at the runway threshold and provide critical orientation information to pilots. The numbers reflect the magnetic heading of the runway, with each number representing a specific direction to help with navigation.
A pilot spots the start of a runway at a 32° angle of depression when he begins his descent.If the plane's ground distance to the runway is eight miles, what is the air distance Round to the nearest tenth?
9.4 mi
An airplane begins its descent to the start of a runway when an instrument reads a 22° angle of depression to the runway.If the plane's air distance to the runway is eighteen miles, what is the ground distance Round to the nearest tenth?
16.7 mi
What is auto-pilot LOC mode?
Auto-pilot LOC mode, or Localizer mode, is a feature in aircraft autopilot systems that helps pilots maintain the aircraft's alignment with the centerline of a runway during an approach. When activated, the autopilot uses signals from the ground-based localizer to guide the aircraft horizontally, ensuring it stays on the correct flight path. This mode is particularly useful during instrument approaches in low visibility conditions, allowing for precise navigation and improved safety during landing.
From an airport runway the angle of elevation of a approaching plane is 12.8 if the planes altitude is 2400 how far is the plane from the runway?
To find the distance of the plane from the runway, we can use the tangent of the angle of elevation. The formula is ( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} ), where the opposite side is the altitude of the plane (2400 feet) and the adjacent side is the distance from the runway. Rearranging gives us ( \text{distance} = \frac{\text{altitude}}{\tan(\theta)} = \frac{2400}{\tan(12.8^\circ)} ), which calculates to approximately 10,471 feet.
For a unidirectional runway which is the proper side for installation of the distance to go lights?
b or right a or left
