Who cares about IFR altitudes just don't hit something

100

What are altitudes called above 17,999'?

Flight Levels

200

On eastbound headings what altitude increments should we fly at? 

Odd thousands (3000', 5000', etc.)

300

What is MEA and what separation does it guarantee? 

Minimum Enroute Altitude, 1000' and 2000' in mountainous regions

400

What is MOCA? What does it NOT guarantee? 

Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude, signal coverage

500

What is RVSM airspace? Why does it exist?

Reduced Vertical Separation Minima, to allow certified airplanes to fly closer together above FL290 

VOR/DME, NDB, other brain frying waves

100

What does DME measure?

Slant Range

200

What frequency range does a VOR operate in?

Very high frequency - 108.0-117.95 MHz

300

If I have the 180 radial tuned with a FROM flag and I am on the 120 radial, what deflection will the CDI show?

Left

400

What is the ONLY thing an ADF does in relation to an NDB?

Point directly at it

500

If I am north of an NDB flying south and the needle is deflected left, am I right or left of the station?

Right

Hold here or divert idc

100

How long is a standard hold leg at 6000'?

1 minute

200

True or False: ATC will clear you to hold on radials from VORs

True

300

My BTS is 090, ATC clears me to hold inbound heading 100, left turns, what entry should I fly?

Direct

400

What are the holding speeds at 14,000'? 16000'?

230KIAS, 265KIAS

500

My BTS is 180, ATC clears me to hold on the 030 radial, what entry should I fly?

Direct

Hope you paid attention

100

500

I'm travelling at 240 knots, I cross 20 radials in 5 minutes. How far am I from the station?

BONUS: How high do I have to be for signal coverage?

60NM

2400'

Might be cooked on CPAER if you don't know this
