According to the FAA-recommended Night Flight Personal Equipment Chart, which of the following items is indicated with the 'essential' symbol for pilots conducting night operations?
medium
Refer to the provided figure. At which airport must the pilot activate the pilot-controlled lighting (PCL) system to illuminate the runway and taxiway lights prior to conducting night taxi operations?
medium
Refer to the provided figure. When planning a night landing at Crawford Airport (99V) on RWY 07-25, the usable lighted runway length for night operations is 3,800 feet due to limited runway edge lighting and no threshold lights. This increases risk of visual illusions such as the black hole effect. The POH lists the total landing distance over a 50-foot obstacle as 1,900 feet under the existing conditions. To mitigate risks from night visual illusions, the pilot increases the required landing distance by 20 percent. The remaining lighted runway length available as safety margin is

During a night visual approach to a runway surrounded by dark terrain, with reported weather conditions of clear skies and 10 miles visibility, the runway appears abnormally distant. Which visual illusion is the pilot most likely experiencing?
medium
You are landing at night at an untowered airport equipped with pilot-controlled lighting (PCL). While on short final, you keyed the microphone seven times on the CTAF frequency to activate the runway lights. After landing and taxiing clear of the runway, the runway lights remain illuminated. What is the appropriate action regarding the runway lights?
medium
You plan a VFR cross-country flight that will land after sunset. During the preflight inspection, the anti-collision light system is found inoperative, but the position lights are functioning properly. Can the flight be conducted as planned?

Refer to the provided figure, which depicts a sectional chart excerpt. While planning a night VFR flight, you intend to land at one of the airports shown. Which airport creates the greatest risk of the black hole visual illusion during approach?
easy
Refer to Figure 81 in the Chart Supplement. How are the airport lights at Crawford Airport (99V) controlled?

Referring to Figure 27, an airplane is en route over Texas during Central Daylight Time at 0300 UTC. The corresponding local time is 2200. Assuming the airplane is operating from sunset to sunrise, which airplane lighting systems are required?
medium
Referring to the Chart Supplement excerpt shown, you are planning a night VFR arrival at Crawford Airport (99V). The airport remarks state that Runway 07-25 has LIRL on the north side from the runway 25 end west 3800 feet, limited lighting from runway 07 end, no threshold lights, and only 3800 feet usable for night operations. Which personal equipment is essential for this night flight?
