FARs Deck 3 - Instrument

• Which indications are acceptable tolerances when checking both VOR receivers by use of the VOT?

  176 ° TO and 003 ° FROM, respectively
• What is the oxygen requirement for an unpressurized aircraft at 15,000 feet?

  Crew must use oxygen for the entire time above 14,000 feet and passengers must be provided supplemental oxygen only above 15,000 feet.
• What service is provided by departure control to an IFR flight when operating from within the outer area of Class C airspace?

  Separation from all IFR aircraft and participating VFR aircraft.
• When departing from an airport located outside controlled airspace during IMC, you must file an IFR flight plan and receive a clearance before

  entering Class E airspace.
• During an IFR flight in IMC, you enter a holding pattern (at a fix that is not the same as the approach fix) with an EFC time of 1530. At 1520 you experience complete two-way communications failure. Which procedure should you follow to execute the approach to a landing?

  Depart the holding fix at the EFC time, proceed to a fix from which an approach begins and commence descent and approach as close as possible to the ETA.
• For aircraft other than helicopters, under what conditions are you not required to list an alternate airport on an IFR flight plan if 14 CFR Part 97 prescribes a standard IAP for the destination airport?

  When the weather reports or forecasts indicate the ceiling and visibility will be at least 2,000 feet and 3 miles for 1 hour before to 1 hour after your ETA at the destination airport.
• When is an IFR clearance required during VFR weather conditions?

  When operating in a Class A airspace.
• What are the minimum qualifications for a person who occupies the other control seat as safety pilot during simulated instrument flight?

  Private pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings for the aircraft.
• An airport may not be qualified for alternate use if

  the NAVAIDs used for the final approach are unmonitored
• (Refer to Figure 87.) While holding at the 10 DME fix east of LCH for an ILS approach to RWY 15 at Lake Charles Muni airport, ATC advises you to expect clearance for the approach at 1015. At 1000 you experience two-way radio communications failure. Which procedure should be followed?

  Squawk 7600; plan to begin your approach at 1015.
• What minimum navigation equipment is required for IFR flight?

  Navigation equipment appropriate to the ground facilities to be used
• You may cancel an IFR flight plan

  if in VMC outside class A airspace.
• What conditions allow a pilot who is exercising the privileges of BasicMed to act as a PIC under instrument flight (IFR)?

  When the PIC is instrument rated and current.
• You intend to carry passengers for hire on a night VFR flight in a single engine airplane within a 25-mile radius of the departure airport. You are required to possess at least which rating(s)?

  A Commercial Pilot Certificate with a single-engine and instrument (airplane) rating.
• For aircraft other than helicopters, what forecast weather minimums are required to list an airport as an alternate on an IFR flight plan if the airport has VOR approach only?

  Ceiling and visibility at ETA, 600 feet and 2 miles, respectively.
• 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.
• 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
• Which of the following statements is correct regarding flight under IFR using the Part 68 BasicMed requirements?

  BasicMed privileges may be used by private pilots for IFR flight at altitudes of not more than 18,000 feet MSL
• An airport may not be qualified for alternate use if

  The only standard approach procedure is GPS.
• What are the minimum weather conditions that must be forecast to list an airport as an alternate when the airport has no approved IAP?

  The ceiling and visibility at ETA must allow descent from MEA, approach, and landing, under basic VFR
• While flying on an IFR flight plan, you experience two-way communications radio failure while in VFR conditions. In this situation, you should continue your flight under

  VFR and land as soon as practicable.
• (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 ° FROM 3.3
• What is the maximum tolerance allowed for an operational VOR equipment check when using a VOT?

  Plus or minus 4 °
• 1. Which additional IFR experience allows you to meet the recent IFR experience requirements to act as pilot in command of an airplane under IFR?Your present instrument experience within the past 6 months is:three hours with holding, intercepting and tracking courses in an    approved airplane flight simulator.2. two instrument approaches in an airplane

  Four instrument approaches in an approved flight simulator that is representative of the airplane category.
• What altitude and route should be used if you are flying in IMC and have two-way radio communications failure?

  Continue on the route specified in your clearance, fly at an altitude that is the highest of last assigned altitude, altitude ATC has informed you to expect, or the MEA.
