Q

If you are receiving IFR clearance from a Non-Towered airport, what additional piece of info must you provide when calling?

A

You must remember to tell them your LOCATION! Since un-towered the controlling agency doesn’t know where you are

25
What are the 4 parts of the ILS?
1. Marker Beacons 2. DME 3. Localizer 4. Glideslope
26
How many types of parallel ILS approaches are there?
1. Parallel Dependent 2. Simultaneous Parallel Independent 3. Simultaneous Close Parallel (PRM)
27
What is a No Transgression Zone? (NTZ)
- A zone on Simultaneous Parallel approaches | - If a/c cross into the NTZ, ATC will issue "breakout" directions
28
GLS Approaches / GNSS Landing System use what?
LAAS to improve accuracy
29
What will you see on an approach chart if there at "Expanded" circling minimums?
An inverted box with C in it
30
When can you go below MDA on a circling approach?
Remain at or above the MDA, within protected airspace, until in a continuous position to land!
31
How will you execute the Missed when circling?
Fly the MAP for the approach you FLEW | - Make initial turn towards the landing runway and continue
32
What are 3 reasons that an approach would be Circling ONLY?
1. 30 deg + off centerline 2. 400ft'NM + descent gradient 3. Runway not clearly defined
33
Required for a Visual Approach?
Runway in sight 1000' ceilings 3sm vis
34
What kind of approach allows deviation from an IAP to proceed visually to the runway
a Contact Approach
35
What wx is required to execute a CONTACT approach?
1sm | Remain clear or clouds
36
How long are standard timed holds above 14,000'?
1.5 mins for the inbound leg
37
5 T's of holding?
``` Twist (heading/course) Turn Talk (report established) Time Throttle (slow to 100) ```
38
When is safety pilot needed?
Anytime pilot is doing SIMULATED IFR no matter what flight rules you're under
39
What must your Safety Pilot have? Do they need to be current to act as Saftey Pilot?
PPL Current Medical Cat/Class ratings - NO they do NOT need to be current (but they could NOT log PIC)
40
If you are acting as Safety Pilot, can you log PIC/SIC? (assuming you are current)
Yes
41
What criteria must be met to log an IAP towards CURRENCY?
61.57 Complete each required segment in actual or simulated conditions down to the MDA/DA - PAST THE FAF
42
If you are in July and want to fly, do approaches from January count?
Yes! "within PRECEDING 6 cal months" | July in this case is month 0
43
WHEN do you need to complete an IPC?
If you have not been current for more than 6 cal months (your grace period lapses)
44
What do you need to complete for an IPC?
Instrument Rating ACS (A-12) - Holding - Unusual Attitudes - Intercepting and Tracking nav systems and Arcs - Non Precision, Precision, Missed, Circling, Landing from an IAP - Approach with loss of Primary Flight Instruments - Checking Instruments and Equipment
45
How can you get Special VFR Clearance? - Who needs to ask - Where do you need to be - What are wx minimums
- PILOT must ASK! ATC can not offer it. - Must be in controlled airspace - 1 sm, remain clear of clouds (91. 157)
46
What is the purpose 1 2 3 rule?
If you meet the rule, AND the destination has a Standard IAP, then you do NOT need an alternate
47
What is the criteria for the 1 2 3 rule?
1: Within 1 hour before and after your ETA 2: Ceilings are 2000' or greater 3: Visibility is 3sm or greater *no alternate needed*
48
You have checked the forecasts, and determined you must file an alternate. What wx do you need to have to file an alternate with a Precision approach? (standard alt mins apply)
At your ETA to the Alternate, Precision alternate minimums: - 600' ceilings - 2sm vis
49
You have checked the forecasts, and determined you must file an alternate. What wx do you need to have to file an alternate with a Non-Precision approach? (standard alt mins apply)
At your ETA to the Alternate, Non-Precision alternate minimums: - 800' ceilings - 2sm vis
50
You must file a flight plan and receive ATC clearance prior to entering:
Controlled Airspace
51
Standard takeoff minimums are based off what a/c characteristic?
Number of Engines! 1-2 engines needs 1 sm (Part 91, no takeoff mins - can depart 0/0)
52
What criteria need to be met for operations below DH/MDA?
1. Continuous position to land 2. Flight vis (required by the IAP) is met 3. Runway environment in sight (atleast one): - runway/lights/markings - TDZ/lights/markings - Threshold/lights/markings - REILs - VASI/PAPI - Aprch Lighting System
53
What is the absolute minimum altitude you can operate during IFR?
The MEA
54
Does the odd/east and even/west altitudes apply for IFR?
No - when in controlled airspace, you fly whatever ATC assigns you. Odd/East is a recommendation.
55
True or False: Unforecasted wx is something you are required to report to ATC.
True!
56
Lets talk about lost coms! In regards to ROUTE, what will you do/where will you go AFTER determining what route to follow?
- CONTINUE TO YOUR ULTIMATE DESTINATION and | - Abide by your CLEARANCE LIMIT
57
Lets talk about lost coms in regards to Clearance Limits and EFCs! Why does it matter???
1. If cleared to a fix where an IAP begins: - With EFC: Hold at limit until EFC then begin approach - Without EFC: Hold at limit until ETA then begin approach 2. If cleared to a fix were NO IAP begins: - With EFC: Hold at limit until EFC, then proceed to IAF and hold there until ETA then begin the approach - Without EFC: DO NOT STOP proceed AS FILED to a fix where an IAP begins, hold until ETA then begin approach
58
91.205 IFR
``` Generator/Alternator Radio (2 way) Altimeter Ball (inclonometer) Clock (installed) Attitude indicator Rate of Turn Directional Gyro DME (above FL240) ```
59
Is a transponder required in Class D?
No
60
In regards to Approach Categories, what are they based off of?
1.3 x Vso | But you will use the minimums for the speed Category you are actually FLYING!
61
If there is a negative "C" on the circling minimums line, what does this mean?
There are expanded minimums
62
How many approaches need to be completed for an IPC?
3 Total - 2 non-precision - 1 precision
