IFR Procedures Flashcards
An airport without an authorized IAP may be included on an IFR flight plan as an alternate, if the current weather forecast indicates that the ceiling and visibility at the ETA will
allow for a descent from the MEA, approach, and a landing under basic VFR conditions.
Which of these facilities may be substituted for an MM during a complete ILS IAP?
Compass locator and precision radar.
CL & PR
Which substitution is appropriate during an ILS approach?
LOC minimums should be substituted for ILS minimums whenever the glide slope becomes inoperative.
Which procedure is recommended while climbing to an assigned altitude on the airway?
Climb on the centerline of the airway except when maneuvering to avoid other air traffic in VFR conditions.
You plan to file an airport which has only a VOR approach as your alternate airport. What minimum weather conditions must be forecast for your ETA at the alternate airport?
800 foot ceiling and 2 statute miles visibility.
For aircraft other than helicopters, is an alternate airport required for an IFR flight to ATL (Atlanta Hartsfield) if the proposed ETA is 1930Z? (TAF KATL…)
No, because the ceiling and visibility are forecast to be at or above 2,000 feet and 3 miles visibility within 1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA.
ATL NO, w/in 1&1
For aircraft other than helicopters, what forecast weather minimums are required to list an airport as an alternate on an IFR flight plan if the airport has VOR approach only?
Ceiling and visibility at ETA, 800 feet and 2 miles, respectively.
What are the minimum weather conditions that must forecast to list an airport as an alternate when the airport has no approved IAP?
The ceiling and visibility at ETA must allow descent from MEA, approach, and landing, under basic VFR.
For aircraft other than helicopters, what weather minimums must be forecasted for your ETA at an alternate airport that has a precision approach procedure, with standard alternate minimums, in order to list is as an alternate for the IFR flight?
600 foot ceiling and 2 SM visibility at your ETA.
When making an instrument approach at the selected alternate airport, what landing minimums apply?
The landing minimums published of the type of procedure selected.
What are the alternate minimums that must be forecast at the ETA for an airport that has a precision approach procedure?
600 foot ceiling and 2 miles visibility.
If executing an ILS approach, and the runway environment is not in sight when reaching the DA/DH, you should
immediately execute the missed approach procedure.
In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of
4 NM from the course flown.
Unless otherwise prescribed, what is the rule regarding altitude and course to be maintained during an off-airways IFR flight over nonmountainous terrain?
1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within 4 NM of course.
Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, what is the rule regarding altitude and course to be maintained during an IFR off airways flight over mountainous terrain?
2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within 4 NM of course.
