In class A
Special VFR at night

Can you use a airport that does not have an approach for alternate or primary

Yes. As long it’s VFR conditions, allowing you to travel from MEA to the approach in VFR conditions

Glide slope errors

False glide slope above normal glide slope

Localizer width

700 ft at end of runway

Localized coverage range

35 degrees to each side of center line within 10nm | 10 degrees within 18nm

VOR check sign off | DEPS

Date Error Place Signature

Icing hazards types

Structural icing Instrument icing Induction icing

Attitude indicator error

Tumbling may occur in older models

How much does a direction gyro precess

15 degrees an hour because of the earths rotation

To get an instrument rating you must

1. Hold a PPL 2. Speak read English 3. Ground 4. Logbook endorsement/training 5. Pass written exam

You may not operate in controlled airspace under IFR unless

1. IFR flight plan is filed | 2. Received an appropriate ATC clearance

When would you go missed

1. Aircraft is below MDA or DH 2. Arrival of MAP and an identifiable part of the runway is not distinctly visible 3. During circling and a identifiable part of the airport is not distinctly visible

No pilot may make a procedure turn unless cleared to do so in the case of

1. A radar vector to final approach fix or course 2. A timed approach from holding fix 3. When approach states NoPT

Each dot represents _______ nm at ____ miles on a VOR

1, 60

Do not fly a procedure turn when

``` Straight in approach Holding in lieu of a procedure turn Arc Vectored to final NoPT timed approach Teardrop course reversal ```
