1 / 8
1. The ‘yellow demarcation bar’ marking indicates
Answer (A) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-3, AIM Fig 2-3-6) A demarcation bar is a 3-ft.-wide yellow stripe that separates a runway with a displaced threshold from a blast pad, stopway, or taxiway that precedes the runway.

2. The numbers 8 and 26 on the approach ends of the runway indicate that the runway is orientated approximately
Answer (A) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-3) Runway numbers are determined from the approach direction. The runway number is the whole number nearest one-tenth the magnetic direction of the centerline. Thus, the numbers 8 and 26 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately 080° and 260° magnetic.

3. The numbers 9 and 27 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately
Answer (C) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-3) Runway numbers are determined from the approach direction. The runway number is the whole number nearest one-tenth the magnetic direction of the centerline. Thus, the numbers 9 and 27 on a runway indicate that the runway is oriented approximately 090° and 270° magnetic.

4. According to the airport diagram, which statement is true? (Refer to Figure 48: Airport Diagram)
Answer (A) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-3) Position A indicates a displaced threshold by the arrows located along the centerline in the area between the beginning of the runway and displaced threshold. Arrow heads are located across the width of the runway just prior to the threshold bar. A displaced threshold is located at a point on the runway other than the designated beginning of the runway. The portion of runway behind a displaced threshold is available for takeoffs in either direction and landings from the opposite direction. These markings are white in the real environment.

5. What is the difference between area A and area E on the airport depicted? (Refer to Figure 48: Airport Diagram)
Answer (B) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-3) Area A in Fig. 48 is the paved area behind a displaced runway threshold, as identified by the ww symbol pointed to by B. This area may be used for taxiing, the landing rollout, and the takeoff of aircraft. Area E is a stopway area, as identified by the lighter shade. This area, due to the nature of its structure, is unusable except as an overrun.

6. That portion of the runway identified by the letter A may be used for (Refer to Figure 48: Airport Diagram)
Answer (C) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-3) The portion of the runway identified by the letter A is a displaced threshold. A displaced runway can be distinguished from a regular runway by the arrow heads that run across the width of the displaced runway (just before the white threshold bar) as identified on the diagram by the ww symbol indicated by B. A displaced threshold means the runway may be used for taxiing or takeoffs but not for landings.

7. When approaching taxiway holding lines from the side with the continuous lines, the pilot
Answer (B) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-5) When approaching taxiway holding lines, the solid (continuous) lines are always on the side where the aircraft is to hold. Therefore, do not cross the hold line without ATC clearance.
8 / 8
8. From the flight deck, this marking confirms the aircraft to be (Refer to Figure 99: Runway Marking (not in Supplement)
Answer (A) is correct. (AIM Para 2-3-9) When the runway holding position line is viewed from the runway side, the pilot is presented with two dashed bars. The PIC must ensure the entire aircraft has cleared the runway holding position line prior to coming to a stop.
