Q

When are IFR clearances required?

A
  1. Class A (91.135)
  2. Before operating IFR in CONTROLLED AIRSPACE - must file IFR FP and RECEIVE CLEARANCE (91.173)
  3. When departing VFR and expecting to become IFR - you can pick up clearance in the air, but you must be able to maintain VFR until clearance delivery

Q

What is a Clearance Void Time?

A
  • The time your a/c must be airborne by or else the clearance/release is no longer good
  • If you decide not to takeoff after receiving a CVT and do not contact ATC, they will assume you crashed since they will not have heard from you and send search and rescue

Q

What are the 2 main objectives to the IFR system?

A
  1. Don’t hit other IFR traffic

2. Don’t hit terrain/obstructions

18
Q

If a special minimum is NOT published for any given airport, which reg. do we refer to? What does it specify?

A

91.175(f)
1 and 2 engine a/c: 1sm
3+ engine a/c: 0.5sm
Helo: 0.5sm

19
Q

Will ATC clear you for an ODP?

A

No! It’s you’re responsibility to comply with an ODP if one is published

20
Q

When will an ODP be published?

A

When something penetrates the 152 ft/NM (40:1) obstruction slope

21
Q

Describe a Standard IFR Departure

A
  1. Fly runway heading until 400’ AGL
  2. Turn on Course
  3. Maintain a climb gradient of 200 ft/NM
    (GS/60=VSI/ft/NM)
22
Q

What is the biggest difference between ODPs and SIDs?

A
  • ODPs are NOT assigned by ATC

- SIDs are an ATC-requested and developed departure route

23
Q

CRAFT/CRADS

A 
Clearance Limit
Route
Altitude
Freq./Departure Freq.
Transponder/Squawk
24
Q

Expected Departure Clearance Time (EDCT)

A

ATC will assign a runway release time in which you must depart within +/- 5 minutes

25
Q

What does a “Through Clearance” allow you to do?

A

Allows you to stop at an intermediate airport(s) while still on a single IFR clearance

26
Q

What does a “Cruise Clearance” allow you to do?

A
  • Fly whatever altitude you want between the Clearance Altitude and the Minimum IFR Altitude
  • Execute any approach at the destination airport
27
Q

When can a pilot request a VFR on top clearance?

A

When operating in VMC

28
Q

What 3 things must you do when you have been cleared for VFR on top?

A
  1. Follow both IFR and VFR flight rules
  2. Maintain VMC and fly VFR altitudes (even/odd+500)
  3. Climb to the assigned altitude and report VFR on top
29
Q

When are you required to plan an alternate airport? (91.167)

A
  • If ceilings and vis are forecasted to be below 2000’ and 3 miles within +/- 1 hours of your ETA
  • Your destination doesn’t have an IAP (regardless of weather)
30
Q

What kind of obstacle protection does holding provide?

A

Primary: 1,000’ AGL
Secondary: 500’ AGL

31
Q

For flight planning purposes, what are part 91’s weather requirements for alternate airports?

A

Precision Alternate: 600 - 2
Nonprecision Alternate: 800 - 2
A in a triangle indicates = Nonstandard/Exceptions to Alternate rules

32
Q

Can you designate an alternate airport with no IAP?

A

Yes, for part 91, as long as you will be in VMC/VFR below the MEA

33
Q

If you are flying a non-WAAS GPS a/c, what special circumstances must you keep in mind when choosing an alternate airport?

A

If you destination only has GPS approaches, your alternate must have a non-GPS approach

34
Q

What is the difference between a DA and a DH?

A 
DA = Altitude read off the altimeter (MSL)
DH = Altitude you are above the ground (AGL)
35
Q

When can you go below the MDA?

A

Once you’ve called to go missed and you are transitioning

36
Q

When can you log instrument time? (61.51)

A

When you are operation on sole reference to the instruments

37
Q

When can you log an IAP? (61.51)

A

When you are flying in IMC conditions past the FAF, or you are under the hood until minimums

38
Q

When must you have a safety pilot? (91.109)

A

When you want to fly simulated instrument w/o a CFII (they must hold a medical, be current, and rated in the a/c)

39
Q

What are the IFR currency requirements? (61.57)

A

Within the last 6 calendar months:
1. 6 IAPs
2. Holding procedure
3. Intercepting and tracking courses using electronic nav.
~ actual or simulated instrument conditions ~

40
Q

What is an IPC?

A
  • Instrument proficiency check

- Needed when your currency has lapsed more than 6 months
