18,000 feet to including FL 600
What altitude and route should be used if you are flying in IMC and have two way radio communications failure?
Continue on the route specified in your clearance, fly at an altitude that is highest of last assigned altitude, altitude ATC has informed you to expect, or the MEA
When must an operational check on the aircraft VOR equipment be accomplished when used to operate under IFR?
within the preceding 30 days
The use of certain portable electronic devices is prohibited on aircraft that are being operated under
IFR
The pilot in command of a civil aircraft must have an instrument rating only when operating
under IFR, in weather conditions less than the minimum for VFR flight, or in Class A airspace
Which of the following is required equipment for operating an airplane within Class B airspace?
a 4096 code transponder with automatic pressure altitude reporting equipment
When departing from an airport located outside controlled airspace during IMC, you must file an IFR flight plan and receive a clearance before
entering Class E airspace
To operate an aircraft under IFR, a flight plan must have been filed and an ATC clearance received prior to
entering controlled airspace
You may cancel an IFR flight plan
if in VMC outside Class A airspace
