|
When should a pilot file an alternate destination? |
Always except when the forecast from 1 hour before to 1 hour after the arrival time the destination airport's weather is greater than 2000ft ceiling and 3 miles visibility. |
|
|
What are the alternate minimums for a precision approach? |
600 ft ceiling and 2 miles visibility at the estimated time of arrival |
|
|
What are the alternate minimums for a non-precision approach?
|
800 ft ceiling and 2 miles visibility at the estimated time of arrival |
|
|
When may a pilot log instrument time? |
Only for that part of the flight where the pilot operated the aircraft solely by reference to instruments in either actual IMC or simulated instrument conditions. |
|
|
When my an instructor log instrument time? |
Only those portions of the flight conducted in actual instrument meteorological conditions. |
|
|
When logging instrument time, what information must be logged? |
Location and type of each approach flown, safety pilot's name (if required) |
|
|
What are the different definitions of "night" and how is each one used? |
1. Actual sunset/sunrise - Denotes when airport beacons and lighting must be used 2. Evening civil twilight (30 minutes after sunset/30 minutes before sunrise) - Flight during this time period can be logged as night 3. Night (1 hour after sunset/1 hour before sunrise) - A PIC must be night current during these hours in order to carry passengers |
|
|
When is a Mode C transponder required? |

|
|
What reports must always be made to ATC? |

|
|
What reports must be made to ATC when not in radar contact? |
