Front 2

What reporting requirements are required by ATC when not in radar contact?

Back 2

a. Nonprecision: when leaving the final approach fix inbound on final approach
Precision: leaving the outermarker (or fix used in lieu) inbound on final approach
b. A corrected estimate as previously submitted is in error in excess of 3 min

Front 3

Position report information:

Back 3

Identification
Position
Time
Altitude
Type of flight plan (not required in IFR position reports made directly to ARTCC's or approach control

Front 4

Are you required to report unforecasted weather encountered in flight

Back 4

Yes, encountering weather unforecast or hazardous conditions report to ATC

Front 5

Explain "maintain" and "cruise"

Back 5

Maintain - Self explanatory: maintain last altitude assigned

Cruise - Is used to assign a block of airspace, from minimum IFR alt up to the altitude assigned (pilots discretion) in cruise clearance.
however once a pilot starts a descent and verbally reports leaving an altitude in the block he may not return to that altitude
without clearance from ATC

Front 6

When will ATC issue a "cruise clearance"?

Back 6

a. Conditions permit a descent, approach and landing at an airport within/below/outside controlled airspace and without a
standard instrument approach
b. Conditions such as bad weather or turbulence call for more flexibility for the pilot to avoid weather turbulence.

Front 7

Why should a Pilot request VFR-On-Top?

Back 7

An IFR flight plan in VFR conditions may request VFR-On-Top in lieu of assigned altitude for winds, turbulence
and the pilot can select the altitude of choice

Front 8

Is VFR On Top a VFR clearance or an IFR clearance

Back 8

IFR

Front 9

Which air space prohibits VFR-On-Top

Back 9

Class A airspace

Front 10

What operational procedures must pilots on IFR flight plans adhere to when operating VFR-On Top?

Back 10

Fly VFR altitude…odd, even +500
Comply with VFR visibility and distance from clouds
Comply with all other IFR regulations

Front 11

What is a "clearance limit" and when is it received?

Back 11

Clearance to a destination or a fix

Front 12

What information will ATC provide a hold at a fix non-charted?

Back 12

Direction of hold from the fix.
Holding fix
Radial, course, bearing, airway, or route to hold
Leg length in minutes
Direction of turns
Time to expect further clearance

Front 13

Max airspeed in holding patterns

Back 13

MHA-6000'……….200 kts Max Hold Airspeed
6001 - 14,000' …..230 kts
14,001 - and above..265 kts

Front 14

What is non-standard verses a standard holding pattern?

Back 14

Standard are right turns
Non Standard are left turns

Front 15

Describe the cross wind correction in a holding pattern

Back 15

Compensate for wind direction on the inbound and outbound legs.
When outbound…triple the inbound correction.
Example: Inbound 360 w 10° correction 350 Then outbound 30° 210

Front 16

What action is appropriate when approaching a holding fix at an airspeed in excess of the hold max

Back 16

Start speed reduction 3 minutes

Front 17

Why is it important to receive an EFC time with initial holding instructions?

Back 17

In case of lost communications you would know when to depart the holding pattern

Front 18

Leg length of standard hold pattern.

Back 18

1 minute inbound below 14000' msl
1-½ minute above 14000' msl

Front 19

When does the timing start for the outbound leg in a holding

Back 19

Over/abeam the fix

Front 20

What regulations apply concerning supplemental oxygen?

Back 20

Above 12,500 up to 14,000 flight crew must use after 30 minutes
Above 14,000 up to 15,000 flight crew must continuously use oxygen
Above 15,000 passengers with supplemental, crew continuously

Front 21

When may a PIC deviate from ATC clearance

Back 21

Emergency only

Front 22

If emergency action requires deviation, must a pilot submit a written report?

Back 22

If requested by ATC, submit a detailed report within 48hrs to the manager of ATC facility

Front 23

What is the lost communication transponder code?

Back 23

Squawk 7600

Front 24

Explain in detail the lost communication procedure with regard to altitude, routes and
holding?(FAR 91.185)

Back 24

1. Attempt contact – On previous assigned frequency or with a FSS
2. Monitor – NAVAID the voice feature (cell phone)
3. Transponder – Set Transponder 7600 CODE
IFR Flight Plan / VFR Conditions:
1. Maintain VFR conditions
2. Land soon as practicable
3. Notify ATC after landing

Front 25

Lost comms procedure on an IFR Flight Plan / IFR Conditions:

Back 25

R ROUTE (A V E F)

A – Assigned(Last ATC Clearance)
V – Vector
E – Expected Further Clearance
F – Filed (Flight Plan)

A ALTITUDE HIGHEST (M E A)

M – Minimum Enroute Altitude
E – Expected Further Clearance
A – Assigned Last ATC Clearance


T TIME (ETA)
On Time – Land
Early – Hold
A) Is the fix an IAF?
1. Early? Wait for EFC time or ETA and
start the approach
2. Late? Start the approach
immediately
B) The fix is not an IAF:
1. EFC Given? Leave the fix at the EFC
time and fly to IAF for approach
2. Late? Go to the IAF for the
approach and do same as (A) above

Front 26

If while Enroute to your destination you lost your communication completely, and upon arrival at the airport you were forced to execute a missed approach, what would your next action be?

Back 26

Go to alternate immediately. ATC will clear the airport area for 30 minutes thus
shooting multiple approaches or holding will create a problem for ATC.

Front 27

What is the difference between Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) and Minimum Descent Height (MDH)?

Back 27

MDA: is the lowest altitude you can descend on a nonprecision approach until you see the runway environment.

E. Radio Orientation

Front 28

What angular deviation from a VOR course is a half scale deflection?

Back 28

5°…10° full scale deflection

Front 29

What is reverse sensing?

Back 29

Reverse of normal operation…headed to with a from indication and from with a to indication.
Flying inbound on the back course or outbound on the front course of an ILS reverse sensing will accrue

Front 30

What is the procedure for determining the intercept angle when intercepting a VOR?

Back 30

1) Select the desired radial with the OBS;
2) Turn the airplane to the same heading as the desired radial;
3) Observe the CDI needle deflection. If it's to the right, turn right to intercept the radial. If it's left, turn left. Fly a heading that will yield a 30- to 45-degree intercept angle to the selected radial
(Note: If you are more than 90 degrees from the desired radial, this interception technique will not work and you're better off tracking radials nearer your position);
4) When the needle centers, turn the airplane to a heading that matches the value of the desired radial. Now start tracking.
If crosswind components blow you to the right or left of course, the CDI will move right or left, indicating the need to apply a wind correction angle
to your heading so as to recapture a centered CDI indication.

Front 31

What is a VOR's degree of accuracy?

Back 31

± 1°

Front 32

How do you find an ADF relative bearing

Back 32

The bearing is read off the ADF dial measured clockwise from 0.

Front 33

How do you find an ADF Magnetic bearing?

Back 33

MH+RB=MB
if the sum is more than 360° subtract 360°

Front 34

What is ADF homing?

Back 34

Flying a heading keeping the needle on zero until the station is reached

Front 35

Tracking inbound on an NDB and the needle is pointing 10° to the left…what's you wind drift correction?

Back 35

Turn 20° left
