Question 1 · Instrument Rating
(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-3F, Figure 162.) You have accepted a visual approach to RWY 16L at EUG at night. As you approach the runway, you notice runway centerline lights. This indicates
- A.you are on the centerline for your assigned runway.
- B.you are too low on the approach.
- C.you have lined up with the wrong runway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct: C. you have lined up with the wrong runway.
In the Figure 162 Chart Supplement entry for EUG, runway 16R-34L is listed with HIRL and CL (centerline lights), while runway 16L-34R has only HIRL. Seeing centerline lights while cleared to 16L therefore means you are lined up on 16R, the wrong runway. Centerline lights say nothing about your height on the approach.
