|
Minimum Vector Altitude.
At least 500' clearance during radar vectors. |
|
|
|
What is minimum IFR altitudes?
|
-Except for takeoff and landing, never operate below published minimum altitudes (MEA, MOCA). A pilot may operate below MEA and at or above MOCA within 22nm of the VOR.
-If no minimum altitudes are published: A) below 1000' above highest obstacle within 4nm. B) below 2000 above highest obstacle within 4nm (in mountainous areas). |

|
|
|
What are some compulsary reports?

How is the FAF identified on an ILS?
|
Glideslope intercept at published altitude.
|
|
|
|
How is the FAF identified on a non-precision approach?
|
Maltese cross.
|
|
|
|
What is a Clearence Void time?
|
Issued by ATC when departing into Uncontrolled airspace. ATC must be informed within 30 minutes if the flight did not depart.
|
|
|
|
What are the IFR fuel requirements?
|
You must have enough fuel to fly to the intended airport, fly to the alternate and then 45 minutes thereafter.
|
|
|
|
Abrupt head movement during a prolonged constant rate turn in IMC or simulated instrument conditions can cause:
|
Pilot disorientation
|
|
|
|
Which procedure is recommended to prevent or overcome spatial disorientation?
|
Rely on the indications of the flight instruments
|
|
|
|
What action should be taken if hyperventilation is suspected?
|
Consciously breathe at a slower rate than normal.
|
|
|
|
what information must a pilot in command be familiar with before a flight?
|
All available information including:
a) Weather reports and forecasts b)Known ATC delays c)Runway lengths of intended use d)Alternatives if the flight cannot be completed as planned e)Fuel requirements f)Takeoff and landing distances |

|
|
When must a pilot file an IFR flight plan?
|
Prior to departure from within or prior to entering controlled airspace, a pilot must submit a complete flight plan and recieve clearance from ATC if weather conditions are below VFR mins. The pilot should file the flight plan at least 30 mins prior to the estimated time of departure to preclude a possible delay in receiving a departure clearance from ATC
|

|
|
What are the alternate airport requirements?
|
If from 1 hr prior to 1 hr after your planned ETA at the destination airport, the weather is forecast to be at least 2,000 ft ceilings and 3 mile vis., no alternate is required. If less than 2,000 and 3 miles an alternate must be filed using the following criteria:
a) If an IAP is published for that airportm the alternate airport minimums specified in that procedure or, if none are specified, the following mins-- i. Precision approach procedure: ceiling 600' and vis. 2 stat. miles ii. Nonprecision approaches: ceiling 800' and vis. 2 stat. miles. b) If no IAP has been published for that airport, the ceiling and visibility minimums are those allowing descent from the MEA, approach, and landing under basic VFR. Sec. 121.649 - Takeoff and landing weather minimums: VFR: Domestic operations. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, regardless of any clearance from ATC, no pilot may takeoff or land an airplane under VFR when the reported ceiling or visibility is less than the following: (1) For day operations -- 1,000-foot ceiling and one-mile visibility. (2) For night operations -- 1,000-foot ceiling and two-mile visibility. |

Indicated- Read off the instrument; uncorrected for instrument or system errors.
Calibrated- IAS corrected for instrument and position errors; obtained from the POH/AFM for various flap and landing gear configurations. Equivalent- CAS corrected for adiabatic compressible flow at altitude. True- CAS corrected for nonstandard temp. and press. obtained from a flight computer, AFM, or the A/S indicator slide computer. Groundspeed- TAS corrected for wind; speed across the ground; use the flight computer |
