25
What are the fuel requirements if the forecast from 1 hour before to 1 hour after the ETA at the first landing airport indicates a ceiling of less than 2,000 feet?

When ATC **priority** has been given
44
What minimums must be considered in selecting an altitude when operating with a VFR on top clearance?
* Minimum IFR altitude * minimum distance from clouds * visibility appropriate to altitude selected
45
What are the weather and visibility minimums for CLASS G airspace above 1,200ft AGL and above 10,000 ft MSL, DAY?
* 5 miles vis * 1,000 feet below * 1,000 feet above * 1SM horizontal
46
What checks and inspections for instruments must be done prior to fly IFR?
* VOR within 30 days * altimeter systems within 24 calendar months * transponder within 24 calendar months * ELT does not need to be tested, but required every 12 cal months
47
Where can the VOT frequency for a particular airport be found?
In the AF/D and on the A/G Voice Communication Panel of the En Route Low Altitude Chart
48
What are the minimum weather conditions to be forecast at the ETA at the alternate airport that HAS an IAP with standard alternate minimums?
**600ft** ceiling and **2 SM** visibility at your ETA
49

10,000 FT **MSL**
50
When making an airborne VOR check of DUAL VOR systems, what is the max tolerance?
4 degrees between the two indicated bearings of a VOR For the dual VOR check, the pilot must center the CDI of both VORs with a TO indication. Setting the VORs to the _same_ radials and then testing does not meet this criteria.
