FAR's Flashcards
If executing an ILS approach, and the runway environment is not in sight when reaching the DA/DH you should…
immediately execute the missed approach procedure.
What are the Alternate minimums that must be forecast at the ETA for an airport that has a precision approach procedure?
600 ft ceiling and 2 miles visibility.
When planning your IFR flight and alternate is required. What are the minimums for the IAP?
The minimums prescribed for the approach, prescribed for the PIC, or appropriate for the equipment used whichever is higher.
When making an instrument approach at the selected alternate airport, what landing minimums apply?
The landing mins published for the type of procedure selected.
In the event of two-way radio communication failure while operating under an IFR clearance in VFR conditions the pilot should continue…
the flight under VFR, land as soon as practical and notify ATC.
You plan to file an airport wich has only a VOR approach as your alternate airport. What minimum weather conditions must be forecast for your ETA at the alternate.
800 ft ceilings and 2 mile visibility.
When operating under Instrument Flight Rules, a pilot must file an IFR flight plan and have received a clearance from ATC before…
entering class ABCDE airspace.
Operation in which airspace requires filing an IFR flight plan?
Class E,D,B airspace with IMC and class A
What information must be recorded to show meeting instrument currency requirements to act as PIC during instrument flight?
Location and type of each instrument approach and safety pilot name if required.
No pilot may act as PIC of an aircraft under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR unless that pilot has, within the preceding 6 calendar months completed at least…
6 instrument approaches, holding procedures, intercepting and tracking courses using navigational systems, or passed an instrument proficiency check.
A coded transponder with altitude reporting capability is required for all controlled airspace…
at and above 10,000 ft MSL (excluding airspace at or below 2500 AGL)
Recency Requirements to act as PIC in IFR conditions
6 instrument approaches and a hold (with intercepting and tracking procedures)
6 Within the previous 6 months
6 If not, you have 6 additional months to obtain currency (grace period)
IFR Instruments and Equipment Requirements
GRABCARD
Generator or Alternator
Rate of turn indicator
Altimeter
Ball and Slip indicator
Clock
Attitude indicator
Radio
Directional Gyro
What forecasted weather minimums are required to list at an airport as an alternate on an IFR flight plan if the airport has a VOR approach only?
Ceiling and visibility at ETA, 800 ft and 2 miles
Which data must be recorded in the aircraft log by a pilot making a VOR operational check.
Date, place, bearing error and signature.
What is the minimum visibility and distance from clouds @ 13,500 in class G in the day.
5 miles
1000 above clouds
1 mile horizontal
1000 below
Max holding speed 14001 and above
265 knots
Max holding speed 6001-14000
230 knots
Max holding speed 6000 and below
200 knots
When is an alternate required with IFR
Always unless the destination airport has a published IR approach and the airport for at least 1 hr before to 1 hr after ETA. Ceiling must be 2000 AGL and 3 miles visibility.
When not in radar contact, you should always report
departing the FAF inbound.
Take off mins for “for hire” aircraft
1-2 engines————1 SM
3+ ————————1/2 SM
What are statndard take off minimums for pilots operating under part 91.
There are no standard takeoff mins for part 91 operations, but it is best practice to follow mins for 121 and 135 operators.
1 SM for aircraft with 1-2 engines
1/2 SM for aircraft with 3 + engines
Be able to discuss personal mins
What equipment must be installed on the airplane to operate in class B airspace
Mode C, two way radio, ADS-B out, and if IFR, VOR or RNAV system.
What are the safe separation standards?
laterally 5 miles
vertically
-1000 ft below 29,000 or if RVSM compliant between 29,000 - 41,000
-2000 ft at 29,000 and above
