Oral Exam Quide Flashcards
What are your privileges with an instrument rating
- fly under instrument flight files ( file a flight plan )
- in weather conditions less then VFR
- fly in class A airspace
- go under special VFR between sunset and sunrise
- can carrying passengers for hire on cross country flights in excess of nautical miles or at night
What do you need to stay current as PIC under IFR
- a flight review ( 24 calendar months )
- 66 hits ( within 6 calendar months preceding the month of the flight you need to fly at least 6 instrument approaches with holding procedures and tasks, intercepting and tracking courses though the use of navigational electronic systems
Must a flight instructor be present when you using an aviation training device to maintain your IFR currency
No, a pilot can accomplish the recency of experience requirements in full flight simulator
Are you required to have a instructor in a full flight simulator to acquire instrument aeronautical experience tools a pilot certificate or rating
Yes
If a pilot loses there instrument currency/ expires what can they to become current again
If a pilot has not accomplished the 66 hits within this first 6 months, they are no longer legal to file a flight under IFR, and they have a 6 month grace period to get a check by an appropriate rated ( same category and class ) safety pilot in simulated IFR conditions to get current again
Explain the difference between being current and being proficient
-Being current means that a pilot has accomplish the minimum FAA regulatory requirements means you are “legal”
- being proficient means you are good and know what you are doing you have the knowledge and skills
What qualifications do you need for a person to act as safety pilot
- must have at least a private pilot certificate with appropriate category and class rating with aircraft being flown
- posses an appropriate medical certificate
- plane must have duel controls
- safety pilot has to be able to have visual the entire time
Can a pilot who has basic med act as a safety pilot
Only I’d the pilot is acting as PIC while performing the duties of a safety pilot
As an instrument rated pilot can you fly IFR under basic med
Pilots can fly basic med under VFR and IFR
What conditions are necessary for a pilot to log instrument time
A person can log instrument time only for that a flight time when person operates the aircraft solely by reference to instruments under actual or simulated instrument flight conditions
When logging instrument time, what should be included in each logbook entry
Each entry must include the location and type of each instrument approach accomplished and the name of a safety pilot, if required
When can a pilot log an instrument approach for currency or training
- in simulated conditions you will need to go down to your minimums DA/MDA
- in actual the clouds need to go to at or below your FAF ( final approach fix)
Is a pilot required to fly the entire approach procedure in order to log if it currency
No, you can be radar vectored to the final approach course
What are the fuel requirements for flight under IFR conditions
The aircraft must carry enough fuel to fly from origin to destination plus alternate, and still fly 45 mins at normal cruise speed (schools is 1 hour)
