IFR VFR Flight

Question 0

State weather limits required for VFR flight within a control zone

Answer 0

3 statute mile ground visibility
1 statute mile horizontally from cloud
500ft vertically from cloud
500ft vertically from ground

Question 1

State the difference between IFR and VFR flight

Answer 1

IFR is flight made with reference to instruments in the cockpit aircraft are separated by ATC
VFR is flight made with visual reference to ground (looking out window)

Question 2

Weather limits required for VFR flight in other controlled airspace

Answer 2

Flight visibility not less than 3 miles
1 mile horizontally from cloud
500 ft vertically from cloud

Question 3

Weather limits required for SVFR flight

Answer 3

Ground visibility 1 statute mile
Clear of cloud for fixed wing aircraft
(Only applicable within a control zone with no IFR traffic in approach or anticipated)

Question 4

State how VFR pilots determine altitude appropriate for the direction of their flight

Answer 4

(Flight above 3000AGL) fly eastbound odd altitudes when aircraft’s magnetic heading is between 360 to 179 degrees +500ft (ex13500ft)
West bound even altitude when magnetic track is between 180 to 359 degrees +500 ft

Question 5

What does MEA stand for

Answer 5

Minimum en-route altitude

Question 6

What does MOCA stand for

Answer 6

Minimum obstruction clearance altitude

Question 7

What does MSA stand for

Answer 7

Minimum safe altitude

Question 8

Define standard pressure region

Answer 8

All airspace over Canada at or above 18 000 ASL and all low level airspace outside the lateral limits of altimeter setting region
Altimeters set to 29.92 inches or mercury

Question 9

Define altimeter setting region

Answer 9

Airspace below 18 000 ASL

Altimeter set to local altimeter setting provided by ATIS, automated weather station or ATC

Question 10

State circumstances that require pilot to file a flight plan

Answer 10

To operate VFR (unless flight will take place within 25nm of departure aerodrome)
Before flying IFR
Planning to fly IFR in controlled airspace
Operating between Canada and foreign state (USA)

Question 11

State the name of the organization which had the authority to amend the Aeronautics Act

Answer 11

Parliament

Question 12

Define CARs and state its purpose

Answer 12

Canadian Aviation Regulations

The amplification of aeronautics act and represents the rule which govern flight in Canadian domestic airspace

Question 13

State the purpose of AIM

Answer 13

Publication used by pilots which amplifies the direction in CARs and puts it into context (amplify CARs)

Question 14

IFR weather standard take off limits

Answer 14

1/2 mile visibility (airports nearby terrain have higher departure limits called specified limits)

Question 15

IFR weather landing limits

Answer 15

Non precision approach except ILS: allow pilot to descend to 800ft AGL land with 2 miles flight visibility
Category 1 instrument approaches:
Allow pilot to descend to 200ft 1/2 mile visibility
