Flight By Reference To Instruments Flashcards
Describe how you would use the control and performance technique during straight and level flight, climbs, turns, and descents.

You’re enroute and ATC says, “Cessna 976SP, climb maintain one three thousand feet, expect lower in approximately 45 minutes upon crossing INW.” What’s your response?
Something to the effect of: “Unable, we do not have supplemental oxygen.”
You’re cleared for the visual while flying at night. While approaching the airport you accidentally fly into a cloud. First of all, what is the major instrument-flight principle you should keep in mind in order to prevent spatial disorientation?
Trust your instruments.
Trust your instruments.
Flicker vertigo. Turn off the strobes.
The runway you’ve been cleared for is upsloping and narrow. What illusion should you
expect as you turn onto final?
Expect to feel like you’re higher than you actually are;
pilots fly low approaches with narrower-than-usual and/or upsloping runways
What should be done to prevent flying a lower-than-usual approach?
Follow VGSI.
Which instruments should you reference for unusual attitude recoveries? Why?
Turn Coordinator (the rate-of-turn indicator part) and the Airspeed Indicator.
They don’t tumble, as opposed to the HI and AI which do. An inop AI, in
particular, might be the reason you’re in the unusual attitude in the first place.
Show the student a picture of either an HSI with the CDI deflected, or, an HI and an OBI with a deflected CDI. Draw a VOR on the whiteboard. Hand a model plane to the student and tell them to place the plane in its position relative to the VOR per the indications on the instruments.
Ok
ATC instructs, “Fly heading ____ to intercept the IWA ____ radial and track (inbound/outbound)”. Show me how you would use the nav instruments to accomplish this, then show me how this would look on the board with the model plane.
Ok
After crossing the VOR ATC says, “Cessna 976SP, track outbound on the IWA _____ radial, at 10DME arc ( direction)bound.” Show me step by step with the instruments how you would fly this, then show me on the board with the model plane how this would look.
Ok
You’re on an IFR flight plan in VMC. ATC has given you a heading and altitude to fly. You spot an aircraft that appears to be same altitude, heading in your direction. Whose ultimate responsibility is it to maintain separation from this aircraft, yours or ATC’s?
Yours. When meteorological conditions permit, regardless of type of flight plan or whether or not under the control of a radar facility, the pilot is responsible to see and avoid other traffic, terrain, or obstacles
When it comes to see and avoid, why is it more important to keep attention outside the airplane scanning for traffic, as opposed to relying more heavily on TIS or ADS-B?
These features won’t pick up aircraft that are not equipped with working transponders, or in the case of TIS, aircraft out of radar coverage. Also, attention should be outside for terrain avoidance.
