FAR's Flashcards
(166 cards)
A coded transponder with altitude reporting capability is required for all controlled airspace
at and above 10,000 feet MSL (excluding airspace at or below 2500 feet AGL)
No pilot may act as pilot in command of an aircraft, under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR unless that pilot has, within the preceding 6 calendar months, completed at least
six instrument approaches, holding procedures, intercepting and tracking courses using navigational systems, or passed an instrument proficiency check
What information must be recorded to show meeting instrument currency requirements to act as PIC during instrument flight?
Location and type of each instrument approach and safety pilot name
What portion of dual instruction time may a certificated instrument flight instructor log as instrument flight time?
All time during which the instructor acts as instrument instructor in actual instrument weather conditions
Which flight time may be logged as instrument time when on an instrument flight plan?
Only the time you controlled the aircraft solely by reference to flight instruments
To meet the minimum instrument experience requirements of 61.57(c), within the last 6 calendar months you need
holding approaches, six instruments approaches, and intercepting and tracking courses in the appropriate category of aircraft
After your recent IFR experience lapses, how much time do you have before you must pass an instrument proficiency check to act as pilot in command under IFR?
6 months
An instrument rated pilot, who has not logged any instrument time in 1 year or more, cannot serve as pilot in command under IFR, unless the pilot
passes an instrument proficiency check in the category of aircraft involved, given by an approved FAA examiner, instrument instructor, or FAA inspector
A pilot’s recent IFR experience expires on July 1 of this year. What is the latest date the pilot can meet the IFR experience requirement without having to take an instrument proficiency check?
December 31, this year
What minimum conditions are necessary for the instrument approaches required for IFR currency?
The approaches may be made in an aircraft, approved instrument ground trainer, or any combination of these
Without an instrument rating, you are prohibited from flying
into class A airspace
A certificated commercial pilot who carries passengers for hire at night or in excess of 50 NM is required to have at least
an instrument rating in the same category and class of aircraft
You intend to carry passengers for hire on a night VFR flight in a single engine airplane within a 25 mile radius of the departure airport. You are required to possess at least wich rating(s)?
A commercial pilot certificate with a single engine and instrument (airplane) rating
What limitation is imposed on a newly certificated commercial airplane pilot if that person does not hold an instrument pilot rating?
They carrying of passengers for hire on cross-country flights of more than 50 NM or at night is prohibited
The use of certain portable electronic devices is prohibited on aircraft that are being operated under
IFR
Verifying that the altimeter meets the requirements of 14 CFR part 91 for an instrument flight is the responsibility of the
pilot in command
Before beginning any flight under IFR, the pilot in command must become familiar with all available information concerning that flight including:
the runway lengths at airports of intended use, and the aircraft’s takeoff and landing data
To serve as a safety pilot for simulated instrument flight, you must hold at least a private pilot certificate and an
appropriate category and class rating for the aircraft to be flown
Which procedure is recommended while climbing to an assigned altitude on the airway?
Climb on the centerline of the airway expect when maneuvering to avoid other air traffic in VFR conditions
While enroute under IFR at FL 250, your DME fails. What action should you take?
Advise ATC of the equipment failure and continue to the next airport of intended landing
What is the procedure when the DME or suitable RNAV malfunctions at or above 24,000 feet MSL?
After immediately notifying ATC, you may continue to the next airport of intended landing where repairs can be made
In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area where no other minimum altitude is prescribed, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below an altitude of
2000 feet above the highest obstacle
If, while in Class E airspace, a clearance is received to maintain VFR conditions on top, the pilot should maintain a VFR cruising altitude based on the direction of the
magnetic course
What is the minimum flight visibility and distance from clouds for flight at 10,500 feet with a VFR on top clearance during daylight hours?
5 SM, 1000 feet above, 1000 feet below, and 1 mile horizontal
