CFII Flashcards
How do you know if an alternate is needed
no instrument approach published for destination
or
1 hour before arrival to 1 hour after:
ceiling is below 2,000 AGL
Visibility under 3 SM
where to find nonstandard alternate minimums
Terminal procedures publication
How long should you file your flight plan
at least 30 minutes
When to cancel at towered
automatically canceled by ATC
When to cancel at non tower
anytime in flight if out of IMC
Contact ATC or FSS
if flying IFR and airport in sight?
request visual approach
Is LPV precession
technically no - not ground based but does have vertical guidance
What is a VOT
FAA vor test facility, can be used airborne but only in some areas
Ground checkpoint
uses actual VOR to either 180 or 0
IFR Long requirements
250 nm cross country using airways or direct routing
instrument approach at each airport
three different kinds of approaches
three fundamentals of instrument flying
instrument cross check
instrument interpretation
aircraft control
what do you do if an airport has no TAF
use the area forecast
does the IFR +/- 75 feet rule on the altimeter apply to VFR
