33
What are the tolerances for navigation aids for a Part 61 IPC after passing the FAF?
NDB: +-5 Degrees, CDI: Half Scale Deflection, DME: +- 2nm ## Footnote Exceeding these tolerances requires a missed approach to be commenced.
34
What is the minimum SID gradient for controlled airspace?
Minimum SID gradients are annotated in % on SID plates ## Footnote If the % Gradient is in brackets, it indicates the required climb percentage.
35
What is the minimum obstacle clearance during a missed approach?
100ft above obstacles ## Footnote This ensures safety until the completion of the missed approach.
36
What is the standard angle of bank for holding and IAP procedures?
25 degrees or rate one turn, whichever is less ## Footnote Rate 1 Turn is calculated as TAS/10 + 7.
37
What is the requirement for an aircraft under IFR to be established on track?
Must be established on Track within 5nm if not departing via a SID or radar vectors ## Footnote This is crucial for maintaining safe navigation.
38
What are the minimum sector altitudes for IFR aircraft?
1000ft clearance for 25nm and 10nm sectors ## Footnote If the 25nm sector is lower than the 10nm sector, it may be used as the minimum safe height.
39
What are the requirements for initiating a missed approach?
N- Not visual at MDA/DA, U- Unable to maintain visual reference, T- Tolerance exceeded, S- Suspect Aid ## Footnote Each condition indicates a need for a missed approach.
40
What must pilots conduct before takeoff regarding altimeter checks?
Accuracy check of the aircraft altimeter(s) when an accurate QNH is available ## Footnote This ensures the altimeter is serviceable before flight.
41
What is the acceptable error for IFR altimeters with an accurate QNH set?
Must read the nominated elevation to within 60FT ## Footnote If an error exceeds ± 75FT, the altimeter is considered unserviceable.
42
What is the maximum visibility error allowed for a VFR altimeter?
100FT (110FT at test sites above 3,300FT) ## Footnote A faulty altimeter must be placarded unserviceable if it exceeds this error.
