CPL IFR PROCEDURES Flashcards
Clearance Delivery Format
C – Clearance Limit
R - Route
A - Altitude
F - Frequency
T – Transponder Code
VFR to IFR
close the VFR flight plan and activate IFR plan by requesting clearance.
Flight plan letter Y
IFR to VFR
Before terminating IFR, and proceeding VFR, you must ensure you are in VMC.
*ATC cannot force a flight to terminate IFR and proceed VFR or make any suggestions to do so.
Flight plan letter Z
Standard Instrument Departure (SID)
- Created to simplify clearances
- Reduces pilot and ATC workload
- Creates a seamless transition to the en-route structure
*If no copy exists onboard, indicate the “NO DP” in the remarks section of your flight plan.
Parts of an SID
- MSA
- Graphical
- Textual
Expect Further Clearance time (EFC)
- When instructed to hold, always ask for an EFC time
- In the event of a loss of communications, you will know when to proceed en-route
Standard Terminal Arrival Routing (STAR)
- Provides a common method for arriving traffic and navigating to your destination.
- Simplifies ATC and pilot workload.
Non-Precision Approach
lateral guidance only
* VOR
* RNAV
Precision Approach
lateral and vertical guidance
* VOR ILS * GNSS
- ILS parts
Localizer
Glideslope
Marker Beacons
ALS (Airport lightning system)
Lost Communications
In VFR conditions
Continue flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable
Lost Communications
In IFR conditions
- Route
- Altitude
*Clearance Limit- commence descent and approach at the EFC time as close as possible to the ETA for the destination
