1
After an ATC clearing has been obtained, a pilot may not deviate from that clearance unless the pilot
Receives an amended clearance or has an emergency.
2
An aircraft 60 miles from a VOR station has a CDI indication of one-fifth deflection, this represents a course centerline deviation of approximately
2 miles.
3
A pilot performing a published instrument approach is not authorized to perform a procedure turn when
Receiving a radar vector to a final approach course or fix.
4
For an airport with an approved instrument approach procedure to be listed as an alternate airport on an IFR flight plan, the forecasted weather conditions at the time of arrival must be at or above the following weather minimums
Ceiling 800 feet and visibility 2SM for nonprecision.
5
For an airport without an approved instrument approach procedure to be listed as an alternate airport on an IFR flight plan, the forecasted weather conditions at the time of arrival must have at least a
Ceiling and visibility that allows for a descent, approach, and landing under basic VFR.
6
For IFR operations off established airways, the route of flight portion of an IFR flight plan should list VOR NAVAIDs which are no further apart than
80 NM.
7
How should the pilot make a VOR receiver check when the aircraft is located on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface
Set the OBS on the designated radial. The CDI must center within plus or minus 4° of that radial with a FROM indication.
8
If ATC tells you to track outbound on the 180 radial, you should set your OBS to
1808 and correct toward the CDI.
9
Inbound on the 090 radial, a pilot rotates the OBS 010° to the left, turns 010° to the right, and notes the time. While maintaining a constant heading, the pilot determines that the elapsed time for the CDI to center is 8 minutes. Based on this information, the ETE to the station is
8 minutes.
10
Inbound on the 190 radial, a pilot selects the 195 radial, turns 5° to the left, and notes the time. While maintaining a constant heading, the pilot notes the time for the CDI to center is 10 minutes. The ETE to the station is
10 minutes.
11
Isogonic lines are drawn across aeronautical charts to connect points
Having the same magnetic variation.
12
No pilot may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft, under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR unless that pilot has, within the preceding 6 calendar months, completed at least
Six instrument approaches, holding procedures, intercepting and tracking courses using navigational electronic systems, or passed an Instrument proficiency check.
13
On an instrument approach where a DH or MDA is applicable, the pilot may not operate below, or continue the approach unless the
Aircraft is continuously in a position from which a stabilized descent to the intended runway can be made.
14
Pilots are not authorized to land an aircraft from an instrument approach unless the
Flight visibility is at, or exceeds, the visibility prescribed in the approach procedure being used.
15
The pilot in command of an aircraft operated under IFR, in controlled airspace, not in radar contact, shall report by radio as soon as possible when
Passing each designated reporting point, to include time and altitude.
16
The pilot in command of an aircraft operated under IFR, in controlled airspace, shall report as soon as practical to ATC when
Experiencing any malfunction of navigational, approach, or communications equipment, occuring in flight.
17
To track inbound on the 215 radial of a VOR station, the recommended procedure is to set the OBS to
035° and make heading corrections toward the CDI needle.
18
True course measurements on a sectional aeronautical chart should be made at a meridian near the midpoint of the course because the
Angles formed by lines of longitude and the course line vary from point to point.
19
What is the maximum bearing error (+ or -) allowed for an operational VOR equipment check when using an FAA-approved ground test signal
4 degrees.
20
What is the maximum error an altimeter can indicate before it is removed from service
20 feet.
21
When checking the course sensitivity of a VOR receiver, how many degrees should the OBS be rotated to move the CDI from the center to the last dot on either side
10° to 12°.
22
When diverting to an alternate airport because of an emergency, pilot should
Apply rule of thumb computations, estimates, and other appropriate shortcuts to divert to the new course as soon as possible.
23
When in the vicinity of a VOR which is being used for navigation on VFR flights, it is important to
Exercise sustained vigilance to avoid aircraft that may be converging on the VOR from other directions.
24
When must an operational check on the aircraft VOR equipment be accomplished to operate under IFR - Within the preceding
30 days.
25
When navigating VFR between points that are obscured, the
Pilot should use dead reckoning.
26
When planning a cross-country trip, you observe an isogonic line labeled 13°E. You have plotted your true course to be 263°. To fly this course correctly assuming no wind correction, you must fly an actual magnetic heading of
250°.
27
When planning a night cross-country flight, the pilot should check for the availability and status of
Destination airport lighting systems.
28
When the CDI needle is centered during an airborne VOR check, the omnibearing selector should read
Within 6° of the selected radial.
29
When using VOT to make a VOR receiver check, the CDI should be centered and the OBS should indicate that the aircraft is on the
360 radial.
30
Which data must be recorded in the aircraft logbook or other record by a pilot making a VOR operational check for IFR operations
Date of check, place of operational check, bearing error, and signature.
31
Which is true regarding STAR's
STAR's are to facilitate transition between en route and instrument approach procedures.
32
Which is true regarding the use of a instrument departure procedure (DP) chart
To use a DP, the pilot must possess at least the textual description of the approved standard departure.
33
Which situation would result in reverse sensing of a VOR receiver
Flying a heading that is reciprocal to the bearing selected on the OBS.
34
While being radar vectored, an approach clearance is received. The last assigned altitude should be maintained until
established on a segment of a published route or instrument approach procedure.
35
You are flying at 6,500 feet MSL with VFR flight following and are going to pass through an Alert Area. Can you continue
Yes, no clearance is required.
36
You are PIC of an aircraft. Prior to entering Class B airspace, you should adjust your speed to no more than
250 knots.
37
You have flown 52 miles, are 6 miles off course, and have 118 miles yet to fly. To converge on your destination, the total correction angle would be
10°.
38
You have just completed your pretakeoff checklist and you are waiting for your takeoff clearance. Your transmitter relay has failed and you are unable to contact tower. You should
taxi to face the tower and wait for the flashing white light.
