Question 20

MEA

Answer 20

The MEA is the lowest published altitude between radio fixes that ensures navigation signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes.

Question 21

RNAV Minimum En Route Altitude

Answer 21

RNAV MEAs are depicted on some IFR en route low altitude charts, allowing both RNAV and non-RNAV pilots to use the same chart for instrument navigation.

Question 22

Minimum Reception Altitude (MRA)

Answer 22

MRAs are determined by FAA flight inspection traversing an entire route of flight to establish the minimum altitude the navigation signal can be received for the route and for off-course NAVAID facilities that determine a fix

Question 23

Altitude Route Lost Coms
91.185

Answer 23

Fly the HIGHEST of the following altitudes for the FOR THE ROUTE SEGMENT BEING FLOWN:
A: Last assigned
M: Minimum altitude for IFR operations (MEA) (as prescribed in 19.121(c))
E: The altitude ATC has advised you may expect in an expected further clearance (EFC)

Question 24

Route Lost Coms
91.185

Answer 24

A: Route assigned in last ATC clearance received;
V: If being radar vectored, by the direct route from the point of radio failure to the fix, route, or airway specified in the vector clearance;
E: By the route that ATC has advised, you may be expected in a further clearance;
F: By the route filed on the flight plan

Question 30

Maximum Authorized Altitude (MAA)

Answer 30

An MAA is a published altitude representing the maximum usable altitude or flight level for an airspace structure or route segment.

Question 31

Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude (MOCA)

Answer 31

The MOCA is the lowest published altitude in effect between fixes on VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments that meets obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment.

Question 32

Off-Route Obstruction Clearance Altitude (OROCA)

Answer 32

An off-route obstruction clearance altitude (OROCA) is an off-route altitude that provides obstruction clearance with a 1,000-foot buffer in non-mountainous terrain areas, and a 2,000-foot buffer in designated mountainous areas.

Question 33

Minimum turning altitude (MTA)

Answer 33

Minimum turning altitude (MTA) is a charted altitude providing vertical and lateral obstruction clearance based on turn criteria over certain fixes, NAVAIDs, waypoints, and on charted route segments.

Question 34

Minimum Crossing Altitude (MCA)

Answer 34

An MCA is the lowest altitude at certain fixes at which the aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher minimum en route IFR altitude.

Question 35

Minimum IFR Altitude (MIA)

Answer 35

The MIA for operations is prescribed in 14 CFR Part 91.

Question 36

Minimum Vectoring Altitudes (MVA)

Answer 36

MVAs are established for use by ATC when radar ATC is exercised. The MVA provides 1,000 feet of clearance above the highest obstacle in non-mountainous areas and 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle in designated mountainous areas.

Question 37

What are the Instrument Currency Requirements

Answer 37

Within preceding 6 months at least 6 instrument approaches, 1 hold, Intercepting and Tracking

Question 38

What happens if a pilot allows his instrument currency to expire

Answer 38

After 6 months beyond the exp. of IFR currency the PIC may not operate in IFR as PIC without: Proficiency check or with a safety pilot in simulated conditions

Question 39

Answer 39

Approach plate has dark triangle with the letter A

Question 40

When is an instrument rating required? FAR 61.3e, 91.157

Answer 40

- under IFR flight rules - in weather conditions less than minimum for VFR flight - in class A airspace - under special VFR in controlled airspace at night

Question 41

What are the fuel requirements for flight in IFR conditions? FAR 91.167

Answer 41

aircraft must carry enough fuel to fly to the first airport of intended landing (including the approach), the alternate airport (if required), and thereafter, for 45 minutes at normal cruise speed
