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 red .at 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.

Question 22-35 : The 'clearway' is defined rectangular area established to ?

Permit aircraft to make a portion of its initial climb to a specific height

Clearway a defined rectangular area on the ground or water under the control of the appropriate authority selected or prepared as a suitable area over which an aeroplane may make a portion of its initial climb to a specified height . 769 exemple 258 Permit aircraft to make a portion of its initial climb to a specific height.

Question 22-36 : Code letter 'd' shall be chosen to identify a taxiway used by aircraft having an outer main gear wheel span of less than 9 m the taxiway width shall be ?

18 m

Code letter/ taxiway width ..'a' 7 5 m ..'b' 10 5 m ..'c' 15 m if the taxiway is intended to be used by aeroplanes with a wheel base less than 18 m or.18 m if the taxiway is intended to be used by aeroplanes with a wheel base greater than 18 m ..'d' 18 m if the taxiway is intended to be used by aeroplanes with an outer main gear wheel span of less than 9 m .23 m if the taxiway is intended to be used by aeroplanes with an outer main gear wheel span of greater than 9 m ..'e' 23 m exemple 262 18 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 . . 771.but we are not allowed to stop on the clearway this is not a stopway .a 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).

Question 22-38 : Definitions aerodrome .a 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 . . 771.but we are not allowed to stop on the clearway this is not a stopway . 769 exemple 270 Clearway.

Question 22-39 : Definitions aerodrome .non 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 exemple 274 Instrument runways.
