14 CFR Part 91.155-187, Subpart B Flashcards
To fly in Class B, C, or D airspace, what is the minimum flight visibility required for flight under VFR?
3SM
When flying in Class E Airspace, the minimum visibility for flight under VFR increases from 3 statute miles to 5 statute miles when at or above:
10,000’ MSL
When operating an airplane in Class G Airspace, what is the minimum flight visibility and horizontal cloud clearance required for daytime operations above 1,200 feet AGL but below 10,000?
1 statute mile; 2,000 feet.
According to 91.157, in order to conduct Special VFR operations in an airplane at night, you must A) have ATC clearance, B) remain clear of clouds, C) have flight visibility of at least 1 statute mile, and/or D) be qualified for instrument flight.
A, B, C, and D.
For VFR operations above 3,000 feet AGL and below 18,000 feet MSL, there are rules for altitude selection based on magnetic course. Which of the following altitudes would be appropriate for an aircraft under VFR in level cruising flight on a heading 090 degrees?
5500 feet MSL.
True or False? Assuming normal cruising speed, an airplane flying under IFR must carry enough fuel to fly to the first airport of intended landing and then for an additional 45 minutes for airplanes.
True unless weather conditions require an alternate in which case the flight must be able to fly to the destination, the alternate, and then for an additional 45 minutes.
Under which of the following circumstances could you file an IFR flight plan without an alternate airport? The weather is forecast to be consistent all day. It’s overcast with a ceiling at least __________ above the airport elevation and visibility of __________.
2,000 feet; at least 3 statute miles.
If filing a flight plan under IFR, and no standard or special instrument approach procedure has been published under Part 97 for the selected alternate airport, you may include that alternate in your flight plan as long as appropriate weather reports or forecasts indicate that at the estimated time of arrival the ceiling and visibility:
Would allow for descent from the MEA, approach, and landing under basic VFR.
If filing a flight plan under IFR, and no standard or special instrument approach procedure has been published under Part 97 for the selected alternate airport, you may include that alternate in your flight plan as long as appropriate weather reports or forecasts indicate that at the estimated time of arrival the ceiling and visibility:
Would allow for descent from the MEA, approach, and landing under basic VFR.
If you are conducting a VOR check on the airport surface with an approved test signal, what is the maximum permissible bearing error that would allow for operation under IFR?
Plus or minus 4 degrees.
True or false? It is allowable to operate an aircraft in controlled airspace under IFR without an IFR flight plan.
False. You must file an IFR flight plan and receive ATC clearance to operate under IFR in controlled airspace.
On an instrument approach, you can see the approach light system, but you’re not able to see the red terminating bars or the red side row bars. You can, however, see the visual approach slope indicator. With these visual references, you may:
Descend below the DA/DH or MDA and continue the approach.
If the instrument approach procedure for the airport of intended landing prescribes an RVR of 2,400, but RVR is not reported on the runway of intended operation, this RVR minimum would be converted to a ground visibility of:
1/2 statute mile.
Which of the following can be substituted for an inoperative outer marker? A) authorized DME or VOR fixes, B) compass locator, C) PAR, D) ASR, and/or E) authorized NDB fixes.
A, B, C, D, and E.
If en route IFR and no applicable minimum altitude is prescribed, the minimum clearance for other than mountainous terrain should be at least __________ above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown.
1,000’
