Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The purpose of a Flight Plan is to provide information about the intended route of an aircraft, including the departure and destination airports, the planned altitude and speed, and any special requirements.

What is the role of an Air Traffic Management System?

  1. To manage the flow of air traffic.

  2. To provide weather updates to pilots.

  3. To maintain communication with ground personnel.

  4. To manage the airspace around an airport.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The role of an Air Traffic Management System is to manage the flow of air traffic, by coordinating the arrival and departure of aircraft, providing weather updates to pilots, and maintaining communication with ground personnel.

What is the difference between an Airport Control Tower and an Area Control Center?

  1. Airport Control Towers manage air traffic in the vicinity of an airport, while Area Control Centers manage air traffic in a larger area.

  2. Airport Control Towers manage air traffic in visual conditions, while Area Control Centers manage air traffic in instrument conditions.

  3. Airport Control Towers manage air traffic for commercial airlines, while Area Control Centers manage air traffic for private pilots.

  4. Airport Control Towers manage air traffic in congested areas, while Area Control Centers manage air traffic in non-congested areas.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Airport Control Towers are responsible for managing air traffic in the vicinity of an airport, while Area Control Centers are responsible for managing air traffic in a larger area, typically covering multiple airports.

What is the purpose of a Standard Instrument Departure (SID)?

  1. To provide a safe and efficient route for aircraft to depart from an airport.
