14 CFR Part 135 - FW - Subpart D - Operating Limitations and Weather Requirements Flashcards
Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, no person may operate an airplane under VFR during the day at an altitude less than:
500 feet above the surface or less than 500 feet horizontally from any obstacle.
A pilot may not operate an airplane under VFR in Class G airspace during the day when the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet unless the flight visibility is at least:
2 miles.
Airplane flight operations under VFR conducted at night are required to have enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and fly after that:
For at least 45 minutes.
True or False? If an approved weather source is not available for an operation under VFR, the PIC may use weather information based on his/her own observations.
True, or of other persons competent to supply appropriate observations.
For IFR operations weather observations made and furnished to pilots:
Must be taken at the airport where the IFR operations are to be conducted.
Unless authorized by your Operations Specifications, under FAR 135 no person may operate an aircraft under IFR:
Outside of controlled airspace or at any airport that does not have an approved standard instrument approach procedure.
Takeoff under IFR from an airport where weather conditions are at or above takeoff minimums but below authorized IFR landing minimums are prohibited unless an alternate airport is available within:
1 hour flying time of the airport of departure.
Takeoff under IFR or beginning an IFR or over-the-top operation is prohibited unless the latest weather report or forecast indicates that weather conditions at the estimated time of arrival at the next airport of intended landing will be:
At or above authorized IFR landing minimums.
Under normal conditions, no person may operate an airplane in IFR conditions unless it carries enough fuel (considering weather reports or forecasts) to complete the flight to the first airport of intended landing,:
Fly from that airport to the alternate airport, and fly after that for 45 min. at normal cruising speed.
What visibility does not require the listing of an alternate on an IFR flight plan?
3 miles or 2 miles more than the lowest applicable visibility minimums whichever is greater.
Unless authorized by the certificate holder’s operations specifications, a pilot may not make an instrument approach to a foreign airport unless the visibility is at least:
1/2 mile.
When is IFR flight in light or moderate icing conditions allowed?
When the airplane meets transport category type certification provisions.
Which is an operational requirement concerning ice, snow, and frost on structural surfaces?
Takeoff will not be attempted if ice is adhering to the windshield or stabilizing or control surfaces.
