IFR

Question 1

What kind of altimeter do we have?

Answer 1

Barometric/sensitive altimeter *?

Question 1

What are the different types of altitudes

Question 2

Explain the pitot/static system

Question 3

What are the different types of airspeeds?

True airspeed needs explaining

Answer 3

IAS: Airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator without corrections.

CAS: IAS corrected for position and instrument errors.

TAS: CAS corrected for nonstandard temperature and pressure.*

GS: TAS adjusted for wind (headwind or tailwind).

EAS: Equivalent airspeed EAS is CAS corrected for compression of the air inside the pitot tube. (look at the phak)

Question 4

Explain what happens to the pitot static instruments for partial and full blockage

Question 5

How does the attitude indicator work?

Answer 5

It receives its information from AHRS

Question 6

How does the AHRS work?
attitude heading reference system

Answer 6

attitude
rate of turn
slip/skid

Question 7

Air Data computer

Answer 7

Outside air temp
airspeed
altitude
vertical speed

Question 8

Magnetometer

Answer 8

Magnetic Field Detection:
The magnetometer detects the Earth’s magnetic field to determine the aircraft’s heading. It uses highly sensitive sensors, such as fluxgate or solid-state magnetometers, to measure the strength and direction of the magnetic field.

Question 9

If your airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed show red X’s what happened?

Answer 9

The Air Data computer is not working

Question 10

HSI horizontal situation indicator
(directional gyro)

Answer 10

receives its information from the magnetometer, which feeds information to the AHRS unit and then out to the PFD

Question 11

What is UNOS?

Question 12

What is a standard rate turn?

Question 13

are all instrument turns standard rate?

Question 14

how does the turn coordinator work?

Question 15

how does the Bank indicator work?

Question 16

how does the slip skid indicator work? (Inclinometer)

Question 17

Gyroscopic instruments are…

Answer 17

attitude indicators
heading indicators
turn indicators
turn and slip indicator
turn coordinator

Question 18

What are the gyroscopic instrument errors

Question 19

turn first then bug

Question 20

what are the primary instruments in straight and level flight

Answer 20

altimeter
heading indicator
airspeed indicator

Question 21

what are the steps when climbing

Answer 21

pitch up

full power

Question 22

when descending

Answer 22

power down

pitch down

1800-1900 rpm

Question 23

what is the difference between baring and radial

Question 24

the VOR station transmits two signals

Answer 24

the reference signal and a variable signal it has a very high-frequency band

Question 25

what is a reference signal

Answer 25

pulse

Question 26

what is a variable signal

Answer 26

sweep

Question 27

what is the orientation of a VOR true or magnetic north

Answer 27

Magnetic North

Question 28

what are the different types of VOR service volumes

Answer 28

Terminal low altitude high altitude

Question 29

what is the aim for VOR

Answer 29

1-1-3 1-1-4

Question 30

what are the different types of VOR checks? 30 days

Answer 30

Bench -+ 4 airborne/radial -+ 6 dual -+ 4 VOT -+ 4 airborne landmark -+ 6 ground -+ 6

Question 31

what are some errors with VORs

Answer 31

cone of confusion line of sight reverse sensing pilot error

Question 33

What is PHAC?

Answer 33

Position Heading Altitude Clearance It is used to get you established for the runway ATC will give you this information to intercept Final Aproach Fix most of the type

Question 34

ATC says “ PHAC” what do you say

Answer 34

repeat H A C

Question 35

So if ATC give you a higher altitude remain at the higher altitude until you see the CDI needle start moving (that is an established approach) begins the descent if above the altitude

Answer 36

Before arriving to the FAF (final approach fix) want to have IAS at 90 begins the checklist 2 miles before the FAF (remain at a slightly higher altitude if FAF is 2,000 stay at or above 2,000 Cannot descend below the altitudes before crossing the altitudes given (better to be higher than lower)

Question 37

Why do you want to stay above the glide slope attitude on an approach?

Answer 37

Possible obstacles or obstruction

Answer 38

The in range check list should be done around (preferably 40NM before arriving to the airport Perform the in range checklist twice once to hear the information at 25NM

Answer 39

Two ways to get the set up for the Initial approach procedure Direct to the IAF (initial approach fix) Vectors to the final approach course

Question 40

What is the briefing strip?

Question 41

What does a S.T.A.R?

Answer 41

Standard Terminal Arrival Route Designed to guide you to the enroute faze to the approach faze
