IFR fuel requirements
What is enough fuel to reach destination, then to alternate (if required), plus an extra 45 minutes at normal cruising speed?
You must file an alternate airport under these conditions.
What is 0 instrument approaches available, within 1 hour before/after ETA ceilings are less than 2,000ft and/or less than 3sm visibility?
Maximum allowable altimeter error under IFR.
What is 75 feet?
Standard takeoff minimums under IFR.
What is 200ft per NM climb, 35ft above the departure end of the runway, 400ft before making initial turn?
This condition allows you to log an instrument approach in actual.
What is transitioning from IFR to VMC on the final approach segment?
IFR required equiptment
A "trouble A" on an approach plate signifies this.
What is non-standard alternate minimums?
VOR errors.
What are cone of confusion, line of sight, and reverse sensing?
This is the meaning of a "clearance void time."
What is the amount of time a pilot has to make contact with ATC after receiving their clearance at a non-towered airport before their IFR clearance is voided?
Inner marker beacon meaning.
This regulation covers minimum altitudes for IFR operations.
What is 91.177?
Weather minimums to file an alternate with a non-precision approach
Operation of the vertical speed indicator.
What is (something to do with diaphragm, static pressure, and calibrated leak)?
MARVELOUSVFRC500
What is missed approach, airspeed +/- 10kts or 5% filed airspeed, reaching holding fix, VFR on top altitude change, ETA +/- 2 minutes, leaving holding fix, outer marker, unforecasted weather, safety of flight, vacating an altitude, FAF, compulsory reporting points, unable to climb/descend 500fpm?
This regulation covers VOR equipment checks for IFR operations.
What is 91.171?
These restrictions apply to filing an airport as an alternate when flying with a non-WAAS equipped GPS.
What is the alternate airport must have an approach available that does not use GPS?
Operation of the glide slope.
What is two frequencies transmitting 90Hz on top side and 150Hz on the bottom intersecting to create the glideslope?
Holding speed limitations.
What are 6,000ft and below- 200kts, 6,001ft-14,000ft- 230kts, 14,001 and above- 265kts.
Conditions when a procedure turn is not required.
What is straight in, holding pattern, arc, radar vectors, procedure turn barb (NoPT), timed approach, and teardrop procedure?
Information required to be included in an IFR flight plan
What is N number, type of aircraft, full name and address of PIC, ETD, route, destination, ETA, fuel on board, souls on board, alternate if required?
These two weather resources can be used by pilots in determining if an alternate airport is required or if an airport may be listed as an alternate.
What are TAFs and GFA?
Range of a VOR High between 45,000ft and 60,000ft.
What is 100NM?
Airspeeds that define approach categories.
What are A- less than 91kts, B- 91kts-120kts, C- 121kts-140kts, D- 141kts-165kts, E- 166kts+?
Each visual reference that can be seen to satisfy 91.175.
What are ALS, threshold, threshold markings, threshold lights, REIL, visual glideslope indicator, touchdown zone, touchdown zone markings, touchdown zone lights, runway, runway markings, or runway lights?
