Weather
This is the minimum distance you should stay from a thunderstorm
What is 20NM?
This needs to be recorded after completing a VOR check
What is Date, Error, Place, Signature
Before filing your flight plan. What is required for you to review for any IFR flight or a flight not in the vicinity of the airport?
NWKRAFT
You are given a clearance void time of 12:00. You depart at 11:59. But you were not able to contact departure after taking off until 12:05. Was your clearance voided?
No. Void times are based off of departure.
How do you calculate a VDP point?
HAT/ (glideslope x 100)
This is likely to form when the METAR is reporting that the temperature and dew point are the same
What is fog?
These are the four components of an ILS
Glide slope, Localizer, ALS, Marker beacon
when can you cancel an IFR flight plan in the air?
When you are outside of A and VMC
This will happen to your instruments if the static port is blocked
ASI - higher alt, ASI lower. Lower alt, ASI higher. (correct at altitude it was stuck at)
ALT - freezes
VSI - freezes on zero
How do you know per the FAA if you are in a mountainous or non mountainous area?
In the AIM
Weather sources are approved by this
What is NOAA?
This is the lowest service volume of a VOR
What is terminal
Your flight from OGD is a TC of 185. What kind of altitude should you file for your IFR flight plan?
Odd thousands.
You are coming from the southwest and cleared direct to PANDE for the ILS 4 in KAMA. Do you need to do a PT?
Yes
When can your instructor log an approach that youre shooting?
When in actual IMC the whole way on the approach and you break out of imc past the FAF.
How/why does the anvil form on a thunderstorm?
when the updraft (warm air rising) has reached a point where the surrounding air is about the same temperature or even warmer. Typically the tropopause, causing it to spread horizontally.
These are the the two ALS that have red side row (terminating) bars
ALSF 1 & 2
You file a flight plan. How long before and after your ETD do you have to pick it up?
30 mins before 2 hours after
You are doing your instrument taxi check on the way to take off for your IFR flight and the brick swings in the same direction as the turn. Are you able to fly? Why or why not?
No. The brick needs to swing to the outside in the turn. This means the brick is not operating and according to 91.205 you can not legally fly.
What are the Wx minimums for ATC to clear you a visual approach?
1000 ft ceilings and 3 sm
You are flying from NY to SFO. You will depart at the top of the hour. It will take you 5 hours to fly over there. What TAF line should you read to anticipate SFOs weather at your arrival?
TBD
What are the typical degrees of full scale deflection for a VOR, LOC, and GS
10, 2.5, .7
When flying on an IFR flight plan in a non radar environment what are the four items that must now also be reported?
Compulsory reporting point, outer marker, FAF, ETA change +-2 mins
You lose comms. You then run through MEA AVEF and then start an approach. You get to minimums and you are not visual. What would you do?
Best answer wins:)
What does TAA mean on an approach plate? what is it for?
This is an MSA replacement and allows a pilot to descend to the TAA altitude once cleared for an approach prior to reaching the fix. Terminal Arrival Area
