4 Page 4 of 6 STUDY UNIT 3 UPDATE QUESTIONS Subunit 3.4: Airport Traffic Patterns 29. (Refer to Figure 51.) The traffic patterns indicated in the segmented circle have been arranged to avoid flights over an area to the A. south of the airport. B. north of the airport. C. southeast of the airport. Answer (C) is correct. (AIM Para 4-3-4) DISCUSSION: The traffic patterns indicated in the segmented circle depicted in Fig. 51 have been arranged to avoid flights over an area to the southeast of the airport. All departures from the runways are to the north or west. All approaches to the airport indicate a pattern of arrival from 180 clockwise to 90, leaving the southeastern quadrant free of flight. Answer (A) is incorrect. Arrivals on Runway 36 and departures on Runway 18 result in traffic to the south. Answer (B) is incorrect. Runway 9-27 produces traffic to the north in addition to Runway 36 departures and Runway 18 arrivals

For information about at Ridgeland Airport, refer to A. notes on the border of the chart. B. the Airport/Facility Directory. C. the Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) publication. Answer (B) is correct. (ACL) DISCUSSION: The miniature glider near the Ridgeland Airport (at 3 on Fig. 24) indicates a glider operations area. The A/FD will have information on the glider operations at Ridgeland Airport. Answer (A) is incorrect. The sectional chart legend identifies symbols only. Answer (C) is incorrect. NOTAMs are issued only for hazards to flight. Subunit 9.4: Radio Frequencies 55. (Refer to Figure 26.) (Refer to Dallas Executive Tower is not in operation, frequency should be used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to monitor airport traffic? A MHz. B MHz. C MHz. Answer (A) is correct. (ACL) DISCUSSION: In Fig. 26, find the Dallas Executive Airport just above 3. When the Dallas Executive tower is not in operation, the CTAF is because that frequency is marked with a C. Answer (B) is incorrect. This is the UNICOM frequency. Answer (C) is incorrect. This is the ATIS frequency.

6 Page 6 of 6 STUDY UNIT 11 UPDATE QUESTIONS Subunit 11.5: Magnetic Course 23. (Refer to Figure 27.) Determine the magnetic course from Cooperstown Airport (area 2) to Jamestown Airport (area 4). A. 30. B C Answer (C) is correct. (PHAK Chap 15) DISCUSSION: On Fig. 27, you are to find the magnetic course from Cooperstown Airport (northeast of 2) to Jamestown Airport (south of 4). Since Jamestown has a VOR on the field, a compass rose exists around the Jamestown Airport symbol on the chart. Compass roses are based on magnetic courses. Thus, a straight line from Jamestown Airport to Cooperstown Airport coincides with the compass rose at 30. Since the route is south to Jamestown, not north from Jamestown, compute the reciprocal direction as 210 ( ). The course, then, is approximately 210. Answer (A) is incorrect. The course from Cooperstown to Jamestown is southwest (not northwest). Answer (B) is incorrect. This is the true course, not the magnetic course. Subunit 11.6: Magnetic Heading 30. (Refer to Figure 23.) What is the magnetic heading for a flight from Priest River Airport (area 1) to Shoshone County Airport (area 3)? The wind is from 030 at 12 knots and the true airspeed is 95 knots. A B C Answer (A) is correct. (PHAK Chap 15) DISCUSSION: On Fig. 23, begin by computing the true course from Priest River Airport (upper left corner) to Shoshone County Airport (just below 3) by laying a flight plotter between the two airports. The grommet should coincide with the meridian (vertical line with cross-hatchings). Note the 143 true course on the edge of the protractor. Next, find the magnetic variation that is given by the dashed line marked 15 E, slanting in a northeasterly fashion just south of Carlin Bay private airport. Subtract the 15 E variation from TC to obtain a magnetic course of 128. Since the wind is given true, reduce the true wind direction of 30 by the magnetic variation of 15 E to a magnetic wind direction of 15. Now use the wind side of your computer. Turning the inner circle to 15 under the true index, mark 12 kt. above the grommet. Set the magnetic course of 125 under the true index. Slide the grid so the pencil mark is on 95 kt. TAS. Note that the pencil mark is 7 left of the center line, requiring you to adjust the magnetic course to a 121 magnetic heading (128 7 ). Subtract left, add right. That is, if you are on an easterly flight and the wind is from the north, you will want to correct to the left. Answer (B) is incorrect. This is the true course, not the magnetic heading. Answer (C) is incorrect. This would be the magnetic heading if the wind was from 215 at 19 kt., not 030, at 12 kt.
