Larry Gouge Flashcards
asked about flight plan
starte how I got my route
talk about the route
do you need an alternate
talk about altitude
talk about GS, TAS, time en-route, then about fuel burned
asked how I got those
When do you need an alternate
TAF and 123 rule
alternate minimums
standard or nonstandard, can it be an alternate
precision approach available-
non-precision approach available-
no approach available-
what else in on the page with the alternate minimums
takeoff mins
What are the LAF alternate mins
LOC, Category D, 900-2 3/4
NA when control tower closed
NA when local weather is not available
Category D, 900-2 3/4
why are some of the minimums different than standard
approach speeds
minimum visibility requirements
what are some things we look for when taking off and we are not an airliner
icing, turbulence, personal minimums
how long before your flight should you file your flight plan
30 minutes before
how do you pick up your ifr clearance for a towered airport
if there is a clearance frequency then through them
if there is not a clearance frequency then call ground
how do you pick up your ifr clearance for a non-towered airport
Call departure frequency after takeoff
when can you close flight plans
when you land a control tower will you do it. if you are VFR you can cancel at any time
if you leave CLass A you can cancel
if in uncontrolled cancel on the ground
what types of airports have clearance delivery frequencies
B or C airspaces
what do you get when picking up a clearance at a non-towered airport
void time
if you have the airport in sight, what are some things you can do
visual approach
still on an IFR flight paln
gives you separation services
what are examples of precision approach
ILS
RNAV LPZ only for checkrides
what came around in the 90s to replace some ground navigation systems
GPS
Is LPV considered precision
no because there is no ground based vertical guidance, but can use as precision for a checkride
If you are circling to land for a runway and you are at or below the MDA and you lose sight of the runway environment, what do you do?
Missed approach
what are the approach categories of the aircraft
A
B
C
D
if we are a vategory B aircraft, and we fly withing the category A speed interval, do we follow the category A minimums? Why?
you can only go up a category not down
safety
when do we have the altimeter checked
every 2 years
what is the margin of error that is allowed in an altimeter when you set it to the altimeter setting
+/- 75 feet
what are your personal minimum
1000 ft ceiling
3 SM
if you are approaching an airport, and you have it in sight 25 miles out, what can you do
continue IFR and fly an approach, continue IFR and request a visual approach, and cancel IFR flight plan and continue VFR
what do most commercial carriers do if they end up having the airfield in sight and you are IFR
continue IFR and request a visual approach
what do you need to be current
6 approaches, tracking, intercepting, and holding
to be current do you need a certain approach
no you could fly the same approach 6 times and be current
know IFR enroute chart information
the number inside the box (airway length
MEA, MOCA, MORA, OROCA, chance of MEA, triangle
how often do you need static/altimeter checked
24 months
acceptible error on altimeter
+/-75 feet
how often does the VOR need checked
30 days
what are all the ways to check the VOR
VOT, VOR ground check,airborne VOR check, dual VOR check, VOR check on airway over known point on the ground at least 20 NM from VOR, and take it to an avionics chop and they will check it
what is the difference between how to perform VOT and VOR ground chfeck
VOT is checked on a specific test signal
0 from and 180 to
VOR ground check is checked at a specific location on an airport on a specific radial for the VOR on the field
what ways can you identify map for precision
DA
what ways can you identify map for non-precision
time
DME,
GPS waypoint
crossing VOR or NDB
what does the LPV stand for
localizer performance with vertical guidance
Is LPV a precision approach
Not legally, but for most purposes, it is
what is the difference between precision and non-precision approaches
precision approaches give vertical guidance in addition to lateral
when timing an approach how do you know your ground speed if it isn’t available on your GPS
use winds aloft to calculate ground speed
what do you need to proceed below the MDA
runway environment in sight
stabilized approach
minimum visibility
what 12 things designate the runway environment
threshold
threshold markings
threshold lights
touchdown zone
touchdown zone markings
touchdown zone lights
runway
runway markings
runway lights
approach lighting system
runway identifier lights
PAPI/VASI
how is the approach category of an aircraft determined
1.3 x Vso
what are the IFR fuel requirements
fuel to get to the destination, alternate (if applicable, and 45 minutes extra
If you go missed before the missed approach point, what can you do
you can climb to the altitude given in the missed approach instructions, but you have to continue flying straight until going over the missed approach point

IFR flight plans
61.65
instrument rating requirements
91.167
fuel requirements
visual approach
can ask for it when airport is in sight
need to stay COC and keep airport in sight
LP
Localizer Performance
MEA
Minimum enroute altitude
4 NM off course either side
OROCA
off route obstruction clearance altitude
MOCA
Minimum obstruction clearance altitude
MORA
minimum off route altitude
MRA
minimum reception altitude
what far can you find what is considered the environment
91.131
why do we have a vdp
to create a more stabilized approach
an unstable approach is considered
a descent of more than 1000 ft
