Question 1

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A “CONTACT APPROACH” AND A “VISUAL
APPROACH”?

Answer 1

Contact approah: an approach on an IFR flight plan, with ATC auth, operating clear of clouds and at least 1 mile vis. The pilot may proceed to the airport by visual reference to the surface,
Visual approach: the pilot may proceed visually if they remain clear of clouds and maintain visual on airport or preceeding aircraft and the airport is reporting at least 1,000 feet ceilings and 3 sm vis.

Question 2

IN THE EVENT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING LOST COMMO, WHEN CAN YOU LEAVE A
CLEARANCE LIMIT THAT IS AN IAF?

Answer 2

When the clearance limit is a fix from which an approach begins, commence descent or descent and approach as close as possible to the expect further clearance time if one has been received, or if one has not been received, as close as possible to the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) as calculated from the filed or amended (with ATC) Estimated Time En Route (ETE).

Question 3

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING CLEARED TO “AIR TAXI”, “HOVER TAXI”, OR “TAXI”?

Answer 3

Air taxi: <100’ AGL may exceed 20 KTS
Hover taxi: IGE and <20 knots (may exceed IGE with load)
Taxi: surface movement on wheels under aircrafts own power

Question 4

WHILE FLYING ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLEARED FOR A “STRAIGHT IN APPROACH” AND A “STRAIGHT IN LANDING”?

Answer 4

Straight in approach: An instrument approach wherein final approach is begun without first having executed a procedure turn
Straight in landing: A landing made on a runway aligned within 30 degrees of the final approach course following the completion of an instrument approach.

Question 5

WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS FOR TASK 1182: PERFORM UNUSUAL ATTITUDE RECOVERY?

Answer 5

1. Identify unusual attitude
2. Analyze aircraft attitude. Without delay, use correct recovery procedurs with minimum loss of altitude.
3. Without delay, performrecovery procedures in the following sequence:
   a. Attitude-level the wings and pitch attitude while maintaining the aircraft in trim
   b. Heading-establish and maintain appropriate heading
   c. TQ-adjust to cruise or climb PWR
   d. Airspeed-Maintain the desired airpseed
   e. Altitude-Return to the appropriate/desired altitude after establishing aircraft control
4. Clear the aircraft
5. Recover without exceeding aircraft operating limitations
