IIMC Flashcards
Spatial disorientation is defined as
a) The state of confusion due to misleading information being sent to the organs, resulting in a lack of awareness of the aircraft position in relation to a specific reference point.
b) An unintentional, unanticipated, or extreme aircraft attitude.
c) The state of complete awareness of the aircraft position in relation to a specific point due to proper instrument scanning techniques.
A) The state of confusion due to misleading information being sent to the organs, resulting in a lack of awareness of the aircraft position in relation to a specific reference point.
IIMC could lead to
a) Spatial disorientation.
b) Unusual attitude.
c) All are correct.
C) All are correct.
“Marginal VFR” is defined as

c) Ceilings below 500 feet AGL and visibility less than 1 mile.
A) Ceilings 1,000 to 3,000 feet AGL and/or visibility 3 to 5 miles.
“Instrument Flight Rules” is defined as
a) Ceilings 1,000 to 3,000 feet AGL and/or visibility 3 to 5 miles.
b) Ceilings 500 to 1,000 feet AGL and/or visibility 1 to 3 miles.

B) Ceilings 500 to 1,000 feet AGL and/or visibility 1 to 3 miles.
“Visual Flight Rules” is defined as
a) Ceilings 1,000 to 3,000 feet AGL and/or visibility 3 to 5 miles.
b) Ceilings greater than 3,000 feet AGL and visibility greater than 5 miles.
c) Ceilings below 500 feet AGL and visibility less than 1 mile.
B) Ceilings greater than 3,000 feet AGL and visibility greater than 5 miles.
One of the most commonly misinterpreted instruments is the
a) Airspeed indicator.
b) Vertical speed indicator (VSI).
c) Standard altimeter.
C) Standard altimeter.
What are the three fundamental skills of instrument flying?
a) Scan, interpret, and control.
b) Bank, pitch, and power.
c) Relax, control, and interpret.
A) Scan, interpret, and control.
Three basic scan techniques are selected radial cross-check, inverted-V cross-check, and rectangular cross-check. These instrument scanning techniques may need to be modified as needed based upon the arrangement of the instruments in your aircraft.
a) True.
b) False.
A) True.
When entering IIMC conditions, the basic recovery procedure is
a) Attitude, heading, torque, trim, and airspeed.
b) Torque, airspeed, heading, and trim.
c) Airspeed, torque, attitude, and heading.
A) Attitude, heading, torque, trim, and airspeed.
Each HAA base will have specific IIMC recovery procedures established for the base’s service area.
a) True.
b) False.
A) True.
Each permanently assigned base pilot, and pilots conducting work-over, will become familiar with the IIMC procedures at the base.
a) True.
b) False.
A) True.
The sectional chart used for the hazards map at the base must be the most current chart.
a) True.
b) False.
B) False.
How often will the Hazards Map be reviewed and updated (as necessary)?
a) Every quarter.
b) Every month.
c) Every year.
B) Every month.
When weather conditions are deteriorating while en route, the PIC should consider
a) Reducing airspeed, but not less than 60 kts.
b) Initiating a 180-degree turn if appropriate.
c) All are correct.
C) All are correct.
Should a pilot encounter IIMC and is no longer VFR, the pilot will
a) Immediately execute a 180-degree turn to the right to attempt to return to VFR conditions.
b) Transition to flight by instruments remembering that aircraft control is paramount,
c) Immediately contact Tier I OCC for guidance for returning to VFR conditions.
B) Transition to flight by instruments remembering that aircraft control is paramount,
