Airport Marking Quiz

There are at least 2 ways to practice this quiz. One way is to check your answer by clicking the "Check answer" button. This will give you immediate feedback regarding specific questions. The other option is to simply answer all the questions as a test and "Flip the switch" or "Press the button" (grade the test) after the last question to receive a test score. You can then check each question individually to see which questions were missed. If you have any problems or suspect an error, feel free to contact me anytime.

Thank you and good luck.

13. When instructed by ATC to "Hold short of a runway (ILS critical area, etc.)," the pilot should stop

with the nose gear on the hold line.
so that no part of the aircraft extends beyond the hold line.
So the flight deck area of the aircraft is even with the hold line.

14. You have just landed at JFK and the tower tells you to call ground control when clear of the runway. You are considered clear of the runway when

the aft end of the aircraft is even with the taxiway location sign.
the flight deck area of the aircraft is even with the hold line.
all parts of the aircraft have crossed the hold line.

15. Holding position signs have

white inscriptions on a red background.
red inscriptions on a white background.
yellow inscriptions on a red background.

16. Airport information signs, used to provide destination or information, have

yellow inscriptions on a black background.
white inscriptions on a black background.
black inscriptions on a yellow background.

17. Hold line markings at the intersection of taxiways and runways consist of four lines (two solid and two dashed) that extend across the width of the taxiway. These lines are

white in color and the dashed lines are nearest the runway.
Yellow in color and the dashed lines are nearest the runway.
Yellow in color and the solid lines are nearest the runway.

18. (Refer to Figure 4 below.) This sign, which faces the runway and is visible to the pilot, indicates

a point at which the pilot should contact ground control without being instructed by the tower.
a point at which the aircraft will be clear of the runway.
The point at which the emergency arresting gear is stretched across the runway.
