FAR Part 91 Flashcards
What are the 3 types of flight plans?
IFR, VFR, DVFR
What is the primary purpose of a VFR flight plan?
Search & Rescue
When is a DVFR flight plan required?
When flight will cross the ADIZ into the US
When is a VFR allowed in class A airspace?
NEVER!!!
What is minimum visibility to allow Special VFR?
1SM
What altitude does an eastbound (0-179 degrees) VFR flight proceed at?
Odd altitude plus 500 (eg.: 7500)
What altitude does a westbound (180-359 degrees) VFR flight proceed at?
Even altitude plus 500 (eg.: 6500)
What is required for VFR-On-Top operation?
IFR clearance, remain on issued route, altitude above minimum safe altitude and below class A
What factor determines if an aircraft can make an IFR landing?
Weather above minima for that approach
What class of aircraft do takeoff minimums apply to?
Revenue flights
What is an MOCA?
Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude. Lowest altitude on an airway that is clear of obstructions. Guaranteed NAVAID reception if within 22NM of VOR
What is an MEA?
Minimum En Route Altitude. Lowest altitude at which you meet the MOCA and have guaranteed NAVAID reception
If no MEA or MOCA, what is lowest IFR operational altitude?
Mountainous area, 2000 feet about highest obstacle within 4NM. Nonmountainous area, 1000 feet about highest obstacle within 4NM.
What altitude does an eastbound (0-179 degrees) IFR flight proceed at?
Odd altitude (eg.: 7000)
What altitude does a westbound (180-359 degrees) IFR flight proceed at?
Even altitude (eg.: 8000)
When does an IFR report a fix?
If non-radar, all designated reporting points or when requested by ATC. Radar, when requested by ATC.
Radio failure in IFR conditons cause pilot to follow what routing?
1) follow last route cleared
2) if on a vector, to point issued in vector to rejoin route
3) if given expect clearance, via route told to expect
4) no route assigned or expected, via filed route
Radio failure in IFR conditons cause pilot to fly what altitude?
Highest of:
1) Assigned altitude
2) Altitude told to expect
3) MEA for route flown
