Answers:

1. Answer B is correct. Operation of the airport beacon during daylight hours at a controlled airport indicates the weather is below VFR minimums (Ceiling less than 1,000 feet or 3 miles visibility).

2. Answer C is correct. Seven clicks of the mike will set the lights to full intensity with five additional clicks of the mike reducing the intensity to medium.

3. Answer A is correct. If the radio fails when landing at a tower controlled airport remain outside or above the pattern to observe the traffic flow and then join the pattern and look for light gun signals from the tower.

4. Answer B is correct. A minimum altitude of 2,000 feet above the surface should be maintained when flying over national wildlife refuge areas.

5. Answer B is correct. A land and hold short clearance should only be accepted with a minimum ceiling of 1,000 feet and three statute miles of visibility.

6. Answer B is correct. Prior to entering a restricted area permission must be attained from the controlling agency. Information concerning the controlling agency may be found on the sectional chart.

7. Answer B is correct. Rotating beacons at lighted land airports have white and green beacons, while military airports have two quick white flashes between each
green flash.

8. Answer B is correct. When operating at an uncontrolled airport all turns should be made to the left unless airport displays or indicators indicate turns should be made to the right.
