Responsibility of PIC?
|
Directly responsible and is the final authority for the operation of the aircraft
|
|
Right of ways for IFR flights?
|
Under IFR or VFR avoid other aircraft
|
|
Required reports for equipment malfunction in IFR in Controlled airspace?
|
Any loss of VOR, Tacan, ADF, low frequency nav receiver.
|
|
How do you obtain IFR clearance?
|
a At airports w/ATC tower in operation
b Airports with out a tower or FSS on the field * Telephone or RCO (remote communication outlet) * Clearance delivery outlet (class B) * ARTCC once airborne (remain VFR in Class E) Procedures vary…ask the nearest FSS |
|
What does "cleared as filed" mean?
|
ATC will issue an abbreviated IFR clearance as filed provided the route little or no revisions
|
|
Which clearance items are given in an addreviated IFR clearance?
|
C learence Limit (destination airport or limit)
R oute (initial heading) A ltitude (initial) F requincy (departure) T ransponder (squak code) Note: ATC requires the controller to state the DP name, current # & DP transition name after the phrasefiled" for all DP's "cleared to destination airport" "then as filed" |
|
What does "clearance void time" mean?
|
If you have not departed by a specific time…the clearance is void. Time cannot exceed 30 minutes.
|
|
What is the purpose of the term "hold and release" mean in an IFR clearance?
|
To delay an aircrafts departure for traffic or management reasons…and you can't depart with that clearance
until a release time or additional instructions are received from ATC |
|
Takeoff minimums for 14 CFR 91 IFR
|
Aircraft two engines and less 1sm visibility. More then two 1/2 mile.
|
|
What is a good practice for determining takeoff minimums for an IFR flight?
|
If the airport has an instrument approach…use the approach minimums for takeoff
If no approach min are published…use VFR minimums 1000 ft and 3sm |
|
What are DP's departure procedures?
|
Provide obstacle clearance protection, increase efficiency.
|
|
What are two types of DP's
|
a ODP's for obstruction clearance and may be flown without ATC unless a SID or radar vector has been assigned.
b SIDs 9standard instrument procedure) - always printed. Provide obstruction clearance and transition to the enroute. Primary to reduce pilot/controller workload |
|
What criteria are used to provide obstruction clearance during departure?
|
Unless specified otherwise, obstacle clearance for all published departures is based
At least 35 feet above the departure end of the runway. Climbing to 400 feet before initial turn. Maintain climb gradient of 200 per nautical mile A greater climb gradient may be specified by the |
|
Where are DPs located?
|
By airport in the IFR takeoff minimums and Departure Procedures Section C of the terminal procedures publications TPPs
|
|
Must you accept a DP if assigned one?
|
No.
Operating from and airport where SIDs are established expect ATC clearances containing a SID. Use requires a text or graphic depiction. ATC must be advised if you don't have a copy, or the aircraft is not capable of flying the SID. Put "No SID" in the remarks section of the flight plan or verbally advise ATC. |
|
How do you determine if an airport has a nonstandard takeoff minimums?
|
A large T in a black triangle terminal. Consult TPPs' (terminal procedures publications).
|
|
When a DP specifies a climb gradient in excess of 200' per NM what should the mean to a pilot?
|
Establish a steeper than normal climb gradient. Increase takeoff minimums and allow visual clearance from obstacle
|
|
Climb gradient of 300' per NM at a ground speed of 100 kts requires what rate of climb?
|
GS divided by 60 times climb gradient = feet per min
100/60*300=498 |
|
What is the recommended climb rate procedure, when issued a climb to an assigned altitude?
|
Promptly at an optimum rate to within 1000' above or below, and then 500' per m to assigned altitude
|
|
VOR Accuracy Checks Methods?
|
Ground +-4°
Dual VOR within 4° Airborne +-6° |
|
VOR check records?
|
Aircraft Log, date place bearing error and signature, Every 30 days
|
|
Finding locations of VOR checkpoints?
|
A/FD, IFR low altitude chart
|
|
Procedure for checking VOR?
|
Tune in 108.0, CDI centered, OBS should read 0, with a TO indication.
remember Cessna 182 - 180 TO |
|
Where is altitude encoding equipment required?
|
At or above 10,000'
Within 30 miles of class B Within and above class C |
|
What are the following transponder codes
|
1200--------------VFR
7700--------------Emergency 7600--------------Lost Com 7500--------------Hijack |
|
Where can pilots get information about airports?
|
AF/D
|
|
What do these acronyms stand for
ALS VASI PAPI REIL |
ALS approach light system
VASI visual; approach slope indicator PAPI precision approach path indicator REIL runway end identifier |
|
What color are runway edge lights
|
white, except on instrument runways, yellow replaces white on the last 2000' or half the runway.
|
|
What colors are rotating beacons
|
Land Airport White/Green
Water Airport White/Yellow Military 2White/Green |
|
What does a rotating beacon operation in daylight hours mean
|
Ground visibility less than 3 sm ceiling less than 1000 agl

Where would you find runway lengths?
|
AF/D
|
|
What are touchdown zone markings?
|
Identify the touchdown zone
500 foot increments one two are three rectangular bars arranged in pairs about the centerline. |
