Help! PPL Exam Preparation

1. "Orbit" and "Go around"

Orbit = circle around a point.
Go Around = abort landing, enter pattern for another attempt or follow tower instructions.

2. Line up and wait behind

Sound the same to me: "Get in line behind [that aircraft]."

3. Continue approach

How is this confusing? Continue your approach to land and expect further instructions later. If IFR, continue as published.

4. Call area outbound

Sometimes used by Class D towers to alert them when you're exiting their airspace.

5. Who has right of way – an aircraft about to backtrack the runway, or an aircraft on final approach to land

This depends. If "about to backtrack" means "just landed and about to backtrack," then I'd say they have the right of way over traffic on final. If "about to backtrack" means "not yet on the runway, but about to taxi to the end of the runway," then I'd say traffic on final has right of way. In my experience, most fields requiring back-taxi ops don't have a reasonable place for landed traffic to pull over to allow landing traffic. See Elkin, NC (also some video on my site)for a good example of this.

Thanks for the thorough response John T !!

It seems "line up and wait behind" is one phrase in ICAO that equates to the US "taxi into position and hold" clearance. This type of clearance is no longer used in the US.

What country is this question originating from?

In my opinion some of the most awesome are the pilot jobs. I have always been fascinated by any kind of plane, and the fact that you get to fly so much makes me think this is my dream job. I am wondering what do you need to do in order to become a pilot, although i am sure it must be really hard to get your license.

Thanks to John T for the explanations. Will come in useful since I'm looking at the aviation vacancies over at the CAA.

This has been an interesting article, thanks for taking the time to cover it, it's really helped me! :-D
