Interactive Quiz #1:
Approach Plate Interpreation
Match wits with IFR
magazine editor Paul Bertorelli as he puts your approach plate reading skills to the
test. Paul is infamous for his tough and tricky questions, some of which just don't have
pat answers. Not for the faint of heart. This month's challenge: the ILS 15R at
Baltimore-Washington International.
by Paul Bertorelli
The questions is this Brainteaser quiz are based on the ILS 15R approach
plate for Baltimore-Washington International Airport, Maryland (BWI).
To follow along, you may wish to locate either the NOS or Jeppesen
version of the plate.
If you don't have that plate handy, you can click on the miniature
approach plate to view a full-size graphic image of the NOS plate (38K).
You'll probably find it handy to print out a hardcopy of the plate
for reference while you take the quiz.
Baltimore used to be the butt of many a joke but it's one of the
nicest cities in the east. In fact, before the state got all wrapped
up in international marketing, the airport used to be called Friendship.
Where else can you kick back with a bushel of steamed crabs and
a couple of cold ones and watch the sailboats look for wind on
the bay?
You gotta get there first, though. We usually fly into Martin
State, but like Mt. Everest, BWI is there. Here are a few questions
on the BWI ILS 15R.
Answer the questions as best you can, then click
on the "score" button to see your score and read the
explanations. If you don't like your score the first time around,
you can change some of your answers and resubmit. To get the most out
of this quiz, we suggest you keep trying until you get a perfect score.
