How do you execute a waveoff at KNDZ when landing on spot 1 with active Runway 32?

• A. A straight climb
• B. A climbing left turn
• C. A straight right turn
• D. A climbing right turn

Answer: (D)

The main idea tested is how to safely abandon a landing approach by gaining altitude and moving away from the active runway to rejoin the pattern. In a waveoff, you don’t stay with the approach path—you climb and turn to get out of the final approach corridor and into a position where you can re-enter the pattern safely. Why a climbing right turn is best here: turning to the right as you climb immediately provides lateral separation from Runway 32’s approach path and places you on the side of the airspace that’s typically used to re-enter the pattern or exit the immediate landing area. It keeps you away from the inbound traffic and reduces risk of conflict with the final approach. A straight climb wouldn’t change your position relative to the runway path quickly enough, and a turning left could bring you toward the active approach corridor or traffic, which is less safe in this scenario.
