Sample Aeronautical 'Q' Code Signals and Abbreviations questions, answered and explained

Real questions from this chapter, with the answer marked and the reasoning written out — the same explanations you get inside the app.

0602006 · Aeronautical 'Q' Code Signals and Abbreviations
What is meant by CTR?
  1. AControl region
  2. BControl zone
  3. CControl area

Why that is the answer

**CTR** means **control zone**. It is controlled airspace extending upward **from the surface** around an aerodrome, to protect aircraft arriving and departing.

What is meant by QNE?
  1. AWhat indication will my altimeter give on landing at ... (place) at ... hours, my sub-scale being set to 1013.2 millibars (29.92 inches)?
  2. BWhat should I set on the subscale of my altimeter so that the instrument would signify its height above the reference elevation being used?
  3. CWhat should I set on the subscale of my altimeter so that the instrument would signify its elevation if my aircraft were on the ground at your station?

Why that is the answer

**QNE** asks: **"What indication will my altimeter give on landing at … (place) at … hours, with my sub-scale set to 1013.2 hPa (29.92 inches)?"** In other words, QNE is the **pressure altitude** of the aerodrome — what the altimeter shows on the ground when set to standard pressure.

0602016 · Aeronautical 'Q' Code Signals and Abbreviations
QNH is the Q code that signifies:
  1. AThe atmospheric pressure referred to the highest obstacle located on the surface of an aerodrome
  2. BThe atmospheric pressure measured at the aerodrome reference point (ARP)
  3. CThe altimeter sub-scale setting to obtain elevation when on the ground

Why that is the answer

**QNH** is the **altimeter sub-scale setting that makes the altimeter read the aerodrome elevation when on the ground**. In the air, with QNH set, the altimeter shows altitude above mean sea level.
