- *outer marker
- un forecast weather
- safety of flight
- vacating an altitude
- *final approach fix
- radio/nav Failure
- *compulsory reporting points
- can’t climb or descend 500fpm
At what altitude is dme required ?
Fl24
Looking back 6 mons, you are not current. What can you do?
Log your 66hits with a safety pilot
Looking back 12 mons, you are not current. What can you do?
You must do an instrument proficiency check
- cfii
- dpe
- other authorized examiner
What info do you have to log when logging instrument time?
- Location and type of approaches
- Name of safety pilot
—they have to be rated in the same category and class, but don’t have to be instrument rated.
What qualifications does the safety pilot have to have when you are logging instrument time using foggles?
-must be a private pilot in the appropriate category and class
When do you need to file an alternate?
- If your intended destination has no instrument approach
- If the forecast weather is less than “1-2003”
—-> one hour before/after eta, 2000ft ceiling, 3mi viz
Weather minimums for your alternate at ETA
- airport with precision app: 600’ ceiling, 2mi viz
- airport with non precision app: 800’ ceiling, 2mi viz
- airport with no instr app: must be able to descend from MEA and approach and land under basic VFR
