IPC QUIZ Flashcards
What is the Cat B circling area and minimum circling altitude for daylight operations?
2.66nm & 300 feet above known obstacles
Whilst visually circling at an aerodrome for a landing you lose sight of the runway. What is the appropriate action to be taken?
The Pilot will make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and overhead the airport, where the pilot will establish the aircraft climbing on the missed approach track
You are planning a flight YPJT-YCUN by day and note that the CUN NDB is unserviceable and all the GPS databases are expired. What Wx conditions would necessitate the carriage of an alternate in the above scenario?
If the cloud is greater than 4/8 below the last sector LSALT + 500’ and vis less than 8km
What is the CASA Single Engine Take Off Minima?
300’ & 2.0km vis
Does a TTF supersede a TAF, and for how long are they valid?
Yes, 3hrs
For single pilot ops are there any extra recency requirements on top of the standard approach/OPC requirements?
1hr single pilot IFR in the last 6 months during which 1 instrument approach was flown.
You are enroute to YABA and obtain the QNH from the AWIS at time of departure. How long is this valid?
15 minutes
And actual airport QNH obtained from an approved source is valid for what period of time from receipt?
15 minutes
You are flying to YKNP at night which has manual lighting installed. For what periods are the lights required to be on for our arrival and departure?
30 minutes prior to ETA until landing and taxi complete.
10 minutes prior to ETD until 30 minutes after departure
You are operating IFR and have been cleared into class E airspace. You have not been issued a discrete squawk code. The correct code to be squawking is?
3000
For what periods are TAFs and ARFORS required to be valid?
ARFOR - period of flight
TAF - 30 minutes before ETA & 60 minutes after planned ETA
How many instrument approaches must you have conducted to conduct an IFR flight?
3 approaches in the last 90 days
The term “established” when conducting an instrument approach or DME arc refers to being:
Within half full scale deflection for the ILS, VOR and GNSS
Within +- 5 degrees of the required bearing for the NDB
Within +- 2nm of the DME arc
You are planning a flight YPJT-YCUN by day, CAVOK, and note that the CUN NDB is unserviceable and all the GPS databases onboard are expired. Is an alternate required to be carried?
No
When the forecast area QNH is used, what height must the minima be increased by?
50ft
During a Visual Approach, except when on a STAR, the Pilot must maintain track/heading on the route progressively authorised by ATC until?
By day, within 5nm of the aerodrome; or by night, the aerodrome is in sight and the aircraft is within; the prescribed circling area for IFR flight; or 3nm of the aerodrome for a VFR flight.
Unless departing on a SID or otherwise instructed by ATC, when must a pilot establish flight on the outbound track?
As soon as practicable and within 5nm of the aerodrome
What is the take-off minima for the aircraft used by Police Airwing?
Ceiling of 300ft and visibility of 2000m
An approach is conducted into an aerodrome with a straight in MDA of 550ft (AMSL) and a circling MDA of 880ft (AMSL). During the approach you become clear of cloud at 750ft, however you see high on the approach and unable to land on the straight in runway using normal rates of descent. What is the correct course of action?
Conduct the published missed approach
An aerodrome forecast for the destination and alternate aerodromes, must be valid for a period of not less than?
30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the planned ETA
When a flight is required to provide for an alternate aerodrome, any aerodrome may be nominated provided?
It is suitable as a destination for that flight, and is not an aerodrome for which that flight would require to provide for an alternate aerodrome.
A DME/GNSS arrival is being conducted into an aerodrome with only a VOR radio navigation aid. Enroute the radion navigation aid fails. Can a DME/GNSS arrival still be conducted?
No
After departing Jandakot for Kalgoorlie, you are cleared to FL180 and direct to RAVON thence Flight Planned Route. As you approach the cleared level you realise the radios are not working. What is the correct course of action?
Squawk 7600, continue as per flight planned route, level out at FL180 for 3 minutes, then climb to your flight planned level and continue to Kalgoorlie as cleared
Whilst visually circling at an aerodrome for landing you lose sight of the runway. Which of the following describes the appropriate action to be taken?
The pilot will make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and overhead the airport, where the pilot will establish the aircraft climbing on the missed approach track.
