Q

The advancement of avionics in light general aviation airplanes has enhanced situal awareness for properly trained pilots. However, there is concern that this technology could lead to

A

complacency

20
Q

If no MCA is specified, what is the lowest altitude for crossing a radio fix, beyond which a higher minimum applies?

A

The MEA at which the fix is approached

21
Q

Which aeronautical chart depicts military training routes (MTR) above 1500 feet?

A

IFR low altitude enroute chart

22
Q

How can a pilot determine if a global positioning system (GPS) installed in a aircraft is approved for IFR enroute and IFR approaches?

A

Flight manual supplement

23
Q

In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below 2000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of

A

4 NM from the course flown

24
Q

Class G airspace is that airspace where

A

ATC does not control

25
Q

What is the definition of MEA?

A

The lowest published altitude which meets obstacle clearance requirements and assures acceptable navigational signal coverage

26
Q

Which types of airspace are depicted on the enroute low altitude chart?

A

limits of controlled airspace, military training routes and special use airspace

27
Q

Before using any procedure or waypoint retrieved from an airborne navigation database,

A

the pilot should verify the validity of the database during preflight and inflight

28
Q

An aircraft which is equipped with an electronic flight display (EFD) can

A

offer new capabilities and simplify the basic flying task

29
Q

During IFR operation using an approved, non-WAAS, GPS system for navigation,

A

the aircraft must have an approved and operational alternate navigation system appropriate for the route

30
Q

When a pilot believes advanced avionics enable operations closer to personal or environmental limits,

A

risk is increased

31
Q

For IFR operations off of established airways below 18,000 feet, VOR navigational aids used to describe the route of flight should be no more than

A

33
Q

Except when necessary for takeoff or landing or unless otherwise authorized by the administrator, the minimum altitude for IFR flight is

A

36
Q

During IFR enroute and terminal operations using an approved, non-WAAS, GPS system for navigation, ground based navigational facilities

Q

The altitude that provides acceptable navigational signal coverage for the route, and meets obstacle clearance requirements, is the minimum

A

en route altitude

38
Q

Handheld GPS systems, and GPS systems certified for VFR operation, may be used during IFR operation as

41
Q

While on an instrument flight in VFR conditions, ATC asks you to ADVISE WHEN YOU HAVE ATIS for your destination airport. Upon tuning to ATIS, you discover that is hasn’t been updated in over a hour. Which statement is true?

A

since it has been over an hour, check back in a moment because it is likely being updated now

42
Q

During IFR enroute operations using an approved, non-WAAS, GPS system for navigation,

A

the aircraft must have an approved and operational alternate navigation system appropriate for the route

43
Q

A

Standby attitude indicator

44
Q

ATC may assign the MOCA when certain special conditions exist, and when within

A

22 NM of the VOR
