FAR 91 questions from Sportys Prep
What altitude should be maintained on IFR off-airways, over mountains
- 2000 feet above highest obstacle
- within 4NM of course
For a VOR check at a VOT, with CDI centered, what should the OBS read?
- 360 degrees, FROM
- or 180 degrees, TO
How do you check a VOR on surface?
- Set OBS to designated radio (AF/D)
- the CDI must center with a +/- 4 degrees
- FROM indication
What are the weather minimums to list an IFR alternate airport that has VOR approach only?
- Ceiling 800 feet
- Visibility 2 miles
What are the visibility and cloud clearance for a flight under Special VFR daylight, under 1200ft AGL?
- For special VFR under 10,000 feet
- visibility: 1 mile
- maintain clear of clouds
Before conducting an IFR flight the PIC should know all available information of a flight including what?
Runway lengths at airports of intended use, and the aircraft takeoff and landing data
When is an alternate airport required to be listed on a flight plan?
If the airport of intended landing has a
- ceiling below 2000 feet
- visibility less than 3 miles
- from 1 hour before and 1 hour after of intended ETA
Aircraft operated under IFR are required to have in addition to the equipment required for VFR and night
A slip skid indicator
When flying VFR on top, If you receive this clearance and fly the course of 180°, at what altitude should you fly?
maintain altitude or flight level appropriate for VFR flight. A magnetic course of 180° – 359° and above 3000 feet AGL, any even thousand foot MSL alititde +500’ would be appropriate
What is the maximum tolerance of a VOR check in the air AND on the ground?
- * +/-4° for a VOR ground check.
- * +/- 6° is the maximum tolerance for airborne VOR check
In class G airspace, more than 1200 feet above the surface but less than 10,000 feet MSL, during the day, vfr fight visibility is what
- one statute mile visibility
- cloud clearance of 500 feet below
- 1000 feet above
- 2000 feet horizontal
At what cabin pressure altitude can a pilot fly for longer than 30 minutes without using supplemental oxygen?
12,500 feet
- The minimum flight crew must use supplemntal oxygen after 30 minutes at cabin pressure altitudes above:
- 12,500’ MSL up to and including 12,000’ MSL.
When making an AIRBORNE VOR check, what is the max tolerance between TWO indicators of a DUAL VOR system?
4 degrees between the two indicated bearings of a VOR
What record is taken during an VOR check in the aircraft log or other permanent record by a pilot?
- The date
- place
- bearing error
- and signature
When using a VOT for VOR check, the CDI should be cenetered and the OBS should indicate what?
- 360 radial
- With the VOT tuned in, the CDI should center with an OBS setting of
- 360 degrees FROM
- 180 degrees TO
If the RVR equipment is inop for an IAP that requires 2,400 RVR, how should you expect the visibility requirement to be reported?
As a ground visibility of 1/2 SM
Under what conditions are you not required to list an alternate airport for an IFR flight plan? IAP in use at the airport
When the weather reports a
- ceiling of 2,000 feet
- visibility 3 miles
- 1 hour before and 1 hour after ETA
What is the visiblity and cloud clearance operating in CLASS E airspace at 9,500 ft MSL with a VFR on Top clerance in daylight?
- 3SM vis
- 1000ft above
- 500 ft below
- 2000 ft horizontal
For CLASS E airspace, les than 10,000 feet MSL, the VFR flight visibility is “3/1/5/2”
For Class E airspace for flight ABOVE 10,000 feet, VFR on top during daylight, what is the cloud and vis requirements?
- 5SM vis
- 1000 above
- 1000 below
- 1 mile horizontal
Where is DME required under IFR?
At or above 24,000 feet MSL if VOR equipment is required
