Q

When do you need an alternate?

A

If the destination has no IAP, or if weather within + or - 1 hour is forecasted to be less than 2,000 ft ceilings or visibility less than 3 statute miles.

Q

What weather conditions are required to list an airport as an alternate?

A

Airports with precision approach: 600 ft ceilings and 2 SM vis.
Airports with non-precision approach: 800 ft ceilings and 2 SM vis.
Airports with No instrument approach: ceiling and visibility must allow for descent from MEA, approach and landing under VFR.

17
Q

If you have non WAAS GPS, you must plan on…

A

Flying GPS approach at destination or alternate but NOT both.

18
Q

If you have WAAS GPS you can plan on…

A

Flying GPS approaches at both the destination and the alternate.

19
Q

What does an upside down triangle with a T in it mean?

A

Non standard T/O minimums or departure procedures exist.

20
Q

What does a triangle with an A in it mean?

A

Non-standard IFR alternate minimums exist.

21
Q

What are the minimum IFR altitudes for mountainous and non-mountainous areas?

A

2,000 ft within 4 miles in mountainous terrain
1,000 ft within 4 miles in non-mountainous terrain

22
Q

What is a departure procedure?

A

Procedure that ensures obstacle clearance as long as you cross the departure end at 35ft, climb at least 200 ft/nm and reach 400 ft before turning.

23
Q

What are the two types of departure procedures?

A

Obstacle departure procedure (ODP), and standard instrument departure (SID)

24
Q

What does an obstacle departure procedure ensure?

A

Only obstacle clearance. Printed graphically and textually.

25
Q

What is a Standard instrument departure?

A

Departure procedure that provides obstacle clearance and reduces workload by simplifying ATC clearances and minimizes radio communication.

26
Q

What are the principles of gyroscopic instruments?

A

Rigidity in space and precession

27
Q

What principle does an attitude indicator operate under?

A

Rigidity in space

28
Q

What principle does a heading indicator operate under?

A

Rigidity in space

29
Q

What principle does a turn coordinator operate under?

A

Precession

30
Q

What equipment is required for VFR Day

A

A TOMATO FLAMES,
Altimeter, tach, oil temp indicator, manifold pressure indicator, airspeed indicator, temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, fuel quantity gauge, landing gear position lights, anti collision lights, magnetic direction indicator, ELT, seat belts
