Q

What do you need to do to remain current for instrument flight rules

A

Within the preceding 6 calendar months you must have completed 6 instrument approaches, demonstrated holding, intercepting, and tracking
You have a 6 month grace period after your currency lapses to complete the required items, once the grace period ends you must complete an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC)

43
If you get a RAIM alert on an approach what do you do
If you've crossed the FAF, go missed If you haven't crossed the FAF, switch to LNAV minimums

Confirm you actually do have lost comms Squawk 7600 (in IMC) squawk 1200 (in VMC) If you're cleared and en route to an airport and loose comms, fly over the airport and then shoot the approach
46
If you've started an approach and you're picking up ice should you abort or continue the approach
Continue the approach No flaps landing Come in faster than you normally would
47
If you're in ice and your engine runs rough what should you do

69
DME
Distance measuring equipment The Airborne DME unit transmits an interrogation signal The ground DME facility receives and replies to the interrogation Airborne unit calculates the slant range distance to the station based on the reply time Due to slant range error, when flying overhead the station, DME indication is not “0” Slant range error is negligible at 1 NM from the DME station per every 1000ft
70
NDB

71
Components of the ILS
Lighting Glideslope Localizer Marker beacons VERTICAL, LATERAL, AND DISTANCE GUIDANCE The ILS is getting it's own deck go look at that on it's own
72
Control and performance
Divides the cockpit panel by control instruments and performance instruments Set the power and attitude, then monitor the performance and make adjustments Control instruments: power, attitude indicator Performance Instruments: pitch (altimeter, airspeed and VSI), bank (heading indicator, turn coordinator, and magnetic compass) Establish, trim, crosscheck, adjust
73
Required reporting points
AIM 5-3-3 It's on my kneeboard ID, position, time, altitude, flight plan, ETA and fix, name of the next fix, remarks
74
Holding time limitations
Below 14000': 1 minute Above 14000': 1.5 minutes
75
Hold entries
Direct: upon crossing the fix turn to follow the holding pattern Parallel: upon crossing the fix, turn to a heading parallel to the holding course outbound for 1 minute. Then turn into the the hold pattern to intercept the inbound course Teardrop: upon crossing the fix, turn outbound to a heading 30º into the pattern. Fly it for 1 minute, then turn in the direction of the hold turns to intercept the inbound course
76
Lost comms procedures
FAR 91.185 Altitude (choose the highest): MEA Expected Assigned Route (order of priority): Assigned Vectors Expected Filed
77
Operation below minimums
78
RNAV
RNAV is a system that enables navigation between any two points without the need to overfly ground-based stations
79
GNSS
Broad term for satellite-based RNAV systems GPS is the GNSS system used within the United States
80
PBN
Performance based navigation General basis for navigation equipment standards, in terms of accuracy, integrity, continuity, availability and functionality for specific operation contexts (final approach, enroute, missed approach)
81
RNP
RNP is a specific statement of PBN for the flight segment and aircraft capability, also defined as RNAV + navigation monitoring and alerting functionality RAIM or built-in monitoring in WAAS provide this capability Terminal: 2nm accuracy Enroute: 1nm accuracy Final approach: 0.3nm accuracy Advanced: higher standard
82
