Q

If you are receiving IFR clearance from a Non-Towered airport, what additional piece of info must you provide when calling?

A

You must remember to tell them your LOCATION! Since un-towered the controlling agency doesn’t know where you are

Q

What are the 4 parts of the ILS?

A

Remain at or above the MDA, within protected airspace, until in a continuous position to land!

31
Q

32
Q

What are 3 reasons that an approach would be Circling ONLY?

A
  1. 30 deg + off centerline

  3. Runway not clearly defined
33
Q

Required for a Visual Approach?

Remain clear or clouds

36
Q

How long are standard timed holds above 14,000’?

A

1.5 mins for the inbound leg

37
Q

5 T’s of holding?

A 
Twist (heading/course)
Turn
Talk (report established)
Time
Throttle (slow to 100)
38
Q

When is safety pilot needed?

A

Anytime pilot is doing SIMULATED IFR no matter what flight rules you’re under

39
Q

What must your Safety Pilot have? Do they need to be current to act as Saftey Pilot?

A

PPL
Current Medical
Cat/Class ratings

  • NO they do NOT need to be current (but they could NOT log PIC)
40
Q

If you are acting as Safety Pilot, can you log PIC/SIC? (assuming you are current)

A

Yes

41
Q

What criteria must be met to log an IAP towards CURRENCY?

A

61.57
Complete each required segment in actual or simulated conditions down to the MDA/DA
- PAST THE FAF

42
Q

If you are in July and want to fly, do approaches from January count?

A

Yes! “within PRECEDING 6 cal months”

July in this case is month 0

43
Q

WHEN do you need to complete an IPC?

A

If you have not been current for more than 6 cal months (your grace period lapses)

44
Q

What do you need to complete for an IPC?

A

Instrument Rating ACS (A-12)

  • Holding
  • Unusual Attitudes
  • Intercepting and Tracking nav systems and Arcs
  • Non Precision, Precision, Missed, Circling, Landing from an IAP
  • Approach with loss of Primary Flight Instruments
  • Checking Instruments and Equipment
45
Q

How can you get Special VFR Clearance?

  • Who needs to ask
  • Where do you need to be
  • What are wx minimums
A
  • PILOT must ASK! ATC can not offer it.
  • Must be in controlled airspace
  • 1 sm, remain clear of clouds
    (91. 157)
46
Q

What is the purpose 1 2 3 rule?

A

If you meet the rule, AND the destination has a Standard IAP, then you do NOT need an alternate

47
Q

What is the criteria for the 1 2 3 rule?

A

1: Within 1 hour before and after your ETA
2: Ceilings are 2000’ or greater
3: Visibility is 3sm or greater

no alternate needed

48
Q

You have checked the forecasts, and determined you must file an alternate. What wx do you need to have to file an alternate with a Precision approach? (standard alt mins apply)

A

At your ETA to the Alternate, Precision alternate minimums:

  • 600’ ceilings
  • 2sm vis
49
Q

You have checked the forecasts, and determined you must file an alternate. What wx do you need to have to file an alternate with a Non-Precision approach? (standard alt mins apply)

A

At your ETA to the Alternate, Non-Precision alternate minimums:

  • 800’ ceilings
  • 2sm vis
50
Q

You must file a flight plan and receive ATC clearance prior to entering:

A

Controlled Airspace

51
Q

Standard takeoff minimums are based off what a/c characteristic?

A

Number of Engines!
1-2 engines needs 1 sm
(Part 91, no takeoff mins - can depart 0/0)

52
Q

What criteria need to be met for operations below DH/MDA?

A
  1. Continuous position to land
  2. Flight vis (required by the IAP) is met
  3. Runway environment in sight (atleast one):
    - runway/lights/markings
    - TDZ/lights/markings
    - Threshold/lights/markings
    - REILs
    - VASI/PAPI
    - Aprch Lighting System
53
Q

What is the absolute minimum altitude you can operate during IFR?

A

The MEA

54
Q

Does the odd/east and even/west altitudes apply for IFR?

A

No - when in controlled airspace, you fly whatever ATC assigns you. Odd/East is a recommendation.

55
Q

True or False: Unforecasted wx is something you are required to report to ATC.

A

True!

56
Q

Lets talk about lost coms! In regards to ROUTE, what will you do/where will you go AFTER determining what route to follow?

A
  • CONTINUE TO YOUR ULTIMATE DESTINATION and

- Abide by your CLEARANCE LIMIT

57
Q

Lets talk about lost coms in regards to Clearance Limits and EFCs! Why does it matter???

A
  1. If cleared to a fix where an IAP begins:
    - With EFC: Hold at limit until EFC then begin approach
    - Without EFC: Hold at limit until ETA then begin approach
  2. If cleared to a fix were NO IAP begins:
    - With EFC: Hold at limit until EFC, then proceed to IAF and hold there until ETA then begin the approach
    - Without EFC: DO NOT STOP proceed AS FILED to a fix where an IAP begins, hold until ETA then begin approach
58
Q

Generator/Alternator
Radio (2 way)
Altimeter
Ball (inclonometer)
Clock (installed)
Attitude indicator
Rate of Turn
Directional Gyro

59
Q

Is a transponder required in Class D?

A

No

60
Q

In regards to Approach Categories, what are they based off of?

A

1.3 x Vso

But you will use the minimums for the speed Category you are actually FLYING!

61
Q

If there is a negative “C” on the circling minimums line, what does this mean?

A

There are expanded minimums

62
Q

How many approaches need to be completed for an IPC?

A

3 Total

  • 2 non-precision
  • 1 precision
