FARs Deck 2 - Instrument

• In addition to a VOR receiver and two-way communications capability, which additional equipment is required for IFR operation in Class B airspace?

  An operable coded transponder having Mode C capability
• A coded transponder equipped with altitude reporting capability is required in all controlled airspace

  At and above 10,000 feet MSL, excluding at and below 2,500 feet AGL
• When an alternate airport is required, what are the weather minimums that must be forecast at the ETA for an alternate airport that has a precision approach procedure?

  600 foot ceiling and 2 statute miles visibility
• How should the pilot make a VOR receiver check when the airplane 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
• If you enter VMC while on an IFR flight plan, you must

  see and avoid other traffic
• (Refer to Figure 82.) Which is an acceptable range of accuracy when performing an operational check of dual VORs using one system against the other?

  4

  
• Your aircraft had the static pressure system and altimeter tested and inspected on January 5, of this year, and was found to comply with FAA standards. These systems must be reinspected and approved for use in controlled airspace under IFR by

  January 31, 2 years hence
• What recent instrument flight experience requirements must be met before you may act as pilot in command of an airplane under IFR?

  A minimum of six instrument approaches in an airplane, or an approved simulator (airplane) or ground trainer, within the preceding 6 calendar months.
• Before beginning any flight under IFR, the pilot in command must become familiar with all available information concerning that flight including:

  The runway lengths at the airports of intended use, and the aircraft’s takeoff and landing data.
• When must an operational check on the aircraft VOR equipment be accomplished when used to operate under IFR?

  Within the preceding 30 days
• If the aircrafts transponder fails during flight within Class B airspace,

  ATC may authorize deviation from the transponder requirement to allow aircraft to continue to the airport of ultimate destination.
• When are you required to establish communications with the tower, (Class D airspace) if you cancel your IFR flight plan 10 miles from the destination?

  before entering Class D airspace
• What are the normal lateral limits for Class D airspace?

  4NM
• What is the maximum cabin pressure altitude at which a pilot can fly for longer than 30 minutes without using supplemental oxygen?

  12,500 feet
• (Refer to Figure 91.) What are the oxygen requirements for an IFR flight eastbound on V520 from DBS VORTAC in an unpressurized aircraft at the MEA?

  The required minimum crew must be provided and use supplemental oxygen
• A coded transponder equipped with altitude reporting capability is required in all controlled airspace

  at and above 10,000 feet MSL, excluding at and below 2,500 feet AGL.
• What is the standard floor of Class E airspace when designated in conjunction with an airway?

  1200 feet AGL
• Where is DME required under IFR

  At or above 24000 feet MSL if VOR navigational equipment is required.
• What action should you take if your No. 1 VOR receiver malfunctions while operating in controlled airspace under IFR? Your aircraft is equipped with two VOR receivers. The No. 1 receiver has VOR/Localizer/GlideSlope capability, and the No. 2 has only VOR/Localizer capability.

  Report the malfunction immediately to ATC
• For IFR planning purposes, what are the compulsory reporting points when using VOR/DME or VORTAC fixes to define a direct route not on established airways?

  Fixes selected to define the route
• Which is the maximum tolerance for the VOR indication when the CDI is centered and the aircraft is directly over the airborne checkpoint?

  Plus or minus 6 ° of the designated radial
• In the event of two-way radio communications failure while operating on an IFR clearance in VFR conditions the pilot should continue

  The flight under VFR and land as soon as practical.
• (Refer to Figure 193.) Which indications on the VOR receivers and DME at the Easterwood Field VOR receiver checkpoint would meet the regulatory requirement for this flight?

  097 ° FROM 101 ° degrees FROM 3.2 °
•  To operate under IFR below 18,000 feet, a pilot must file an IFR flight plan and receive an appropriate ATC

  clearance prior to

  entering controlled airspace
• What is the maximum indicated airspeed that pilots using BasicMed privileges may fly IFR?

  250 knots
• A pilots recent IFR experience expires on July 1 of this year. What is the latest date the pilot can meet IFR experience requirement without having to take instrument proficiency check?

  December 31, this year.
• What portion of dual instruction time may a certified instrument flight instructor log as instrument flight time?

  All time during which the instructor acts as instrument instructor in actual instrument weather conditions
• For aircraft other than helicopters, what minimum conditions must exist at the destination airport to avoid listing an alternate airport on IFR flight plan when a standard IAP is available?

  From 1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA, forecast ceiling 2000 and visibility 3 miles.
