Extra Questions Flashcards
Flight Review Requirements:
- Must happen every 24 Calender Months
- Must be current on Knowledge
- Minimum 1 hour of flight training
- 1 hour of ground instruction
- Must be administered by a CFl
When is instrument rating required? Part 91.157
1- Under instrument flight rules (IFR flight plan).
2- In weather conditions less than the minimum for VFR flight
3- In class A Airspace
4- Under special VFR within Class B,C,D,E surface areas between sunset to sunrise
5- When carrying passengers for hire on cross-country flight in excess of 50 nautical miles or at night.
What additional aircraft documentation should be on board an aircraft equipped with an FR-approved GPS?
Airplane flight manual supplement and cockpit reference Guide or quick Reference guide.
Explain the function of RAIM
Receiver Autonomous integrity Monitoring (RAIM) self monitoring function performed by a TSO-129 % certified GPS receiver to ensure adequate signals. Also alerts Pilot when it determines GPS signals do not meet the criteria for safe navigation.
How often are GPS databases required to be updated?
Navigation every 28 days, obstacles every 56 days, and terrain/ airport map as needed.
How can a Pilot determine what type of operations a GPS receiver is approved for?
FAA approved AFM to determine the limitations and Operating procedures.
When will ATC delete a flight plan that’s not been activated from their system? AIM 5-1-13
minimum of a hour after the proposed departure time. to ensure they remain active beyond this time” the pilots who’s actually departure time is an hour more more then this time should notify ATC of their revised time.
what are in route low-altitude charts? Aim 9-1-4
enroute low-altitude charts provide aeronautical information for navigation under IF conditions below 18000 feet MSL. these charts are received revised every 56 days all courses are magnetic and distances are in nautical miles.
what are enroute high altitude charts? aim 9-1-4
enroute high altitude charts are designed for navigation at or above 18,000 feet MSL. This for color chart series includes the jet route structure very high frequency naved’s with frequency identification, Channel, Geographic coordinates semicolon selected airport semicolon reported points. Revised every 56 days.
for FR flight what is the maximum allowable error for the altimeter?
if the altimeter is off field elevation by more than 75 feet, with the correct pressure set in the Coleman window, it is considered to be unreliable.
where is Altitude encoding transponder equipment required?
Aim 4 - 1 - 20
1- at or above 10,000 feet MSL
2- within 30 Mile of a class Bravo airspace
3- within or above all class Charlie airspace
4- within 10 miles of certain designated airport, excluding airspace which is both outside the class Delta surface area and Below 1200 ft AGL
5- and all aircraft flying into, within or across the continuous United States
Scenario based (logging currency):
You are flying in IMC and broke out of the clouds during the Intermediate Fix, can you log currency?
No, you can not. You have to go IMC all the way to the FAF before going visual.
Logging Currency: Real IMC flying vs. Simulated IMC (Hood-work)
In order to log instrument currency:
Instrument approach must fly through from the initial approach fix/feeder route, intermediate segment, and final approach segment.
Real IMC: IMC until the final approach segment, then you can log currency.
What if it is simulated IMC?
Simulated IMC: IAP is flown all the way down to DA/DH/MDA in order to log. UNLESS, there is a safety concern(such as traffic), the pilot can still log currency if the aircraft has passed the FAF.
When do you need an instrument rating?
-61.3: Can’t operate below VFR wx mins. without instrument rating
-91.135: Can’t operate in Class A without instrument rating
-91.157: SVFR at night requires instrument rating.
Define: DA vS. DH vs. MDA, what kind of approaches use them?
DA: decision altitude, this is a specified altitude with vertical guidance that requires you to execute a” i miss-approach if the pilot does not meet the 3 requirements to land (non-precision)
DH: decision height, this is a specified altitude for ILS approaches (precision approach)
MDA: minimum descent altitude, this is the altitude that you can maintain until you either:
1) reach the final approach fix/time and go miss or,
2.) visually see airport environment
