“Whenever you are at an airport that has pilot controlled lighting, simply select the approach VHF frequency and depress the microphone switch a number of times. Keying the mike 7 times in 5 seconds gets you maximum runway lighting intensity. Then subsequently 5 and 3 gives medium and low, respectively. The lights will usually stay on for 15 minutes after the time of the most recent transmission.”

1) Just prior to being lined up on Half Moon Bay airport's runway 12, turn to overfly its length

2) At the approach end of runway 30, turn to a heading of “055”

3) Climb to “3000” feet

4) How are the “Wilderness Areas” depicted on VFR sectional charts?
