Question 22-33 : Declared distances 'lda' landing distance available is ?

The length of runway which is declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane landing.

Tora take off run available is the length of runway declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane taking offtoda take off distance available is the length of the take off run available plus the length of the clearway if providedasda acceleration stop distance available is the length of the take off run available plus the length of stop way if providedlda landing distance available is the length of runway which is declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane landing 769
exemple 250: The length of runway which is declared available and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane landing
The length of the take-off run available plus the length of the clearway, if provided. the length of the take-off run available plus the length of stop way, if provided. the length of the runway plus the length of stop way available, if provided.

Question 22-34 : Characteristics of t vasis each wing bar has ?

4 lights.

T vasis was based on a series of light boxes on either side of the runway with various apertures that taken together showed a white line if the aircraft approach was correct too high and the system showed an inverted t too low and the pilot saw an upright t coloured redat this time only large aircraft had instrument landing system equipment which meant small aircraft relied wholly on the visual system to find the correct approach angle 770
exemple 254: 4 lights
2 lights. 3 lights. 5 lights.

exemple 262: 18 m
23 m. 25 m. 15 m.

Question 22-37 : Declared distances 'asda' acceleration stop distance available is ?

The length of the take off run available plus the length of stop way if stop way provided .

A clearway is an area beyond the paved runway free of obstacles the length of the clearway may be included in the length of the take off distance available toda 771but we are not allowed to stop on the clearway this is not a stopwaya stopway means an area beyond the take off runway no less wide than the runway and centred upon the extended centreline of the runway able to support the aeroplane during an abortive take off without causing structural damage to the aeroplane and designated by the airport authorities for use in decelerating the aeroplane during an abortive take off 769
exemple 266: The length of the take off run available plus the length of stop way if stop way provided
The length of the runway plus the length of stop way available (if stop way provided). the length of the take-off run available plus the length of stop way and clearway (if provided). the length of the take-off run available plus the length of the clearway.

Question 22-38 : Definitions aerodromea defined rectangular area selected or prepared as a suitable area over which an aeroplane may make a portion of its initial climb to a specified height is called ?

Clearway.

A clearway is an area beyond the paved runway free of obstacles the length of the clearway may be included in the length of the take off distance available toda 771but we are not allowed to stop on the clearway this is not a stopway 769
exemple 270: Clearway
Stopway. take-off run available (tora). runway end safety area (resa).

Question 22-39 : Definitions aerodromenon precision approach runways and precision approach runways cat i ii and iii are defined as ?

Instrument runways.

Instrument runway means one of the following types of runways intended for the operation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures a non precision approach runway means an instrument runway served by visual aids and a non visual aid providing at least directional guidance adequate for a straight in approach b precision approach runway category i means an instrument runway served by non visual aids and visual aids intended for operations with a decision height not lower than 60 m 200 ft and either a visibility not less than 800 m or a runway visual range not less than 550 m c precision approach runway category ii means an instrument runway served by non visual aids and visual aids intended for operations with a decision height lower than 60 m 200 ft but not lower than 30 m 100 ft and a runway visual range not less than 300 m d precision approach runway category iii means an instrument runway served by non visual aids and visual aids to and along the surface of the runway and a intended for operations with a decision height lower than 30 m 100 ft or no decision height and a runway visual range not less than 175 m b intended for operations with a decision height lower than 15 m 50 ft or no decision height and a runway visual range less than 175 m but not less than 50 m c intended for operations with no decision height and no runway visual range limitations
