Study Notes
Air Traffic Control Signals
- Steady red light while circling an airport means to give way to other aircraft and continue circling.
- Flashing white light during take-off means to return to the starting point.
- Flashing red light indicates to taxi clear of the landing area.
- Alternating red and green light indicates to be alert for hazardous conditions.
Night Operations
- Position and anti-collision lights must be operational between sunset and sunrise.
Right-of-Way Regulations
- An aircraft in distress has the right-of-way over all other aircraft, including lighter-than-air aircraft.

- Over congested areas, the minimum altitude is 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 2,000-foot radius.
Minimum Legal Altitudes
- Minimum legal altitude for flight allows for emergency landing without hazards.
Collision Avoidance
- Pilots are responsible for avoiding collisions, regardless of right-of-way rules.

Alcohol Consumption
- Minimum waiting time after alcohol consumption is 8 hours.
