Report Error

Assertion A : Airport capacity during IFR conditions is usually less than that during VFR conditions. Reason R: During clear weather condition (VFR), the aircrafts on final approach to runway can be spaced closer during poor visibility conditions. Select your answer based on the coding system given below:

  1. A. Both A and R is true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. B. Both A and R is true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. C. A is true but R is false
  4. D. A is false but R is true
Report Error

Assertion A : The ratio of arriving and departing aircrafts influences the airport capacity: Reason R : Landing operation is generally given priority over the taking off operation. Select your answer based on the coding system given below:

  2. B. Both A and R is true and R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. C. A is true but R is false
  4. D. A is false but R is true
