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

QUESTIONS
Subunit 9.2: Airspace and Altitudes
24. (Refer to Figure 24 and Legend 5HIHUWR
area 3.) For information aboutJOLGHURSHUDWLRQV
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 toDUHD,I
Dallas Executive Tower is not in operation,ZKLFK
frequency should be used as a Common Traffic
Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to monitor airport traffic?
A. 127.25 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 127.25 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.
B. 122.95 MHz.
C. 126.35 MHz.

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. 218°.
C. 210°.
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° (30° + 180°). 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. 121°.
B. 143°.
C. 136°.
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.
