Basic instruments

Question 1

What is the treatment for spatial disorientation?

Answer 1

Reference instruments with a good cross check
Attempt to ignore conflicting sensory inputs
In two pilot aircraft announce spatial disorientation and transfer the controls

Question 2

To recover from an unusual attitude, the proper sequence of flight control adjustments is

Answer 2

Correct the pitch and roll attitude
Adjust power
Trim the aircraft as required for return to level flight
Bank pitch power trim

Question 3

MIA

Answer 3

Minimum IFR altitude

Question 4

MEA

Answer 4

Minimum en-route IFR altitude:
The lowest published altitude between radio fixes which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes

Question 5

MOCA

Answer 5

Minimum obstacle clearance altitude
The lowest published altitude in effect between radio fixes on VOR airways off airway routes or route segments which meets obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment and which assures acceptable navigation signal coverage only within 22 nautical miles of a VOR

Question 6

OROCA

Answer 6

Off route obstacle clearance altitude
1000-Ft clearance above non-mountainous areas 2,000 ft. Clearance above mountainous areas

Question 7

MRA

Answer 7

Minimum reception altitude
The lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined

Question 8

MCA

Answer 8

Minimum crossing altitude
The lowest altitude at certain fixes at which an aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher MEA

Question 9

MVA

Answer 9

Minimum vectoring altitude

The lowest mean sea level altitude at which an IFR aircraft will be vectored by a radar controller except as otherwise authorized for radar, approaches departures and missed approaches

Question 10

What are the two types of instrument departure procedures?

Answer 10

Obstacle departure procedure
Standard instrument departure

Question 11

What is the only positive method of identification and what is the course accuracy of vors?

Answer 11

By its Morse code ID or the recorded automatic voice identification

Generally plus or minus 1° but no more than 2.5°

Question 12

Why are instrument departure procedures necessary

Answer 12

Provide obstacle, clearance protection information to pilots
Increase efficiency
Reduce communications and departure delays

Question 13

How do you select the route in the event two way radio failure to

Answer 13

In order:
Assigned
Vectored
Expected
Filed

Ave Foxtrot

Question 14

In the event of two way radio failure how do you select altitude

Answer 14

Highest of:
Min IFR altitude for route segment being flown
Expected
Assigned

Question 15

when entering a hold, when do you need to call time and altitude

Answer 15

If you don’t have all 3:
1. Instrument training mission
2. Military control
3. Radar service
