   • C.One dashed line
   • D.A red line
   Show answer & explanation

   Answer: B. A solid double yellow and dashed double yellow; hold short at the solid side

   Runway hold position markings: two solid yellow + two dashed yellow. Hold on the solid side; cross only with ATC clearance (or after announcing at non-towered fields).

   • A.On glide path
   • B.Below glide path
   • C.Above glide path
   • D.Too fast

   White-over-white = too high; red-over-red = too low; red-over-white = on glidepath.

3. Question 3

   • A.Private airport
   • B.Heliport
   • C.Lighted civilian land airport
   • D.Military airport
   Show answer & explanation

   Answer: C. Lighted civilian land airport

   White-green = civil land airport. White-yellow = water airport. White-green-yellow = heliport. Dual-white-green = military.

4. Question 4

   • D.3,000 ft AGL
   Show answer & explanation

   Answer: B. 1,000 ft AGL (single-engine piston)

   1,000 ft AGL for propeller-driven; larger/turbine aircraft use 1,500 ft AGL. Check chart supplement for local variations.

   Left turns are standard; right traffic requires indication (segmented circle, chart supplement, or charts).
