Section 1

(50 cards)

The magnetic bearing to the station is (refer to the heading and ADF indicators)

Front

CHOICE 3 — The correct formula is: RB + MH = MB. The magnetic bearing to the station is 190° + 80°, or 270°.

Back

During a light, the controller advises "traffic 2 o'clock 5 miles southbound." The pilot is holding 20 degree correction for a crosswind from the right/. Where should the pilot look for the traffic?

Front

CHOICE 3 — Traffic advisories are based on the observation of your ground track on the radar. Radar cannot tell which way the nose of your aircraft is pointed. Position of traffic is called in terms of the 12-hour clock. In this example, the aircraft's nose is pointed 20° right of its ground track to compensate for a strong crosswind. In a no-wind situation, the 2 o'clock position would be 60° to the right of the nose. Since the nose is already pointed toward the 2 o'clock position by 20°, you would only have to look further right by 40° to see the controller's advisory. Remember, the controller only sees the ground track on the radar display, not the aircraft's nose position.

Back

How much actual instrument time can you log i you are IFR weather conditions for 45 minutes, VFR weather conditions for 35 minutes, VFR between layers or 30 minutes, VFR on top for 20 minutes, and land VFR using a pracive ILS approach under the hood which takes 15 minutes?

Front

CHOICE 1 — 45 minutes. FAR 61.51 states that you may log as instrument flight time only the time you operate the aircraft solely by reference to instruments under actual or simulated flight conditions.

Back

According to the accompanying Airport/Facility Directory excerpt for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the airspace surrounding the airport is called

Front

CHOICE 2 — The airspace surrounding Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is designated as Class B airspace. This is indicated in the listing under communications.

Back

Within what time period must the operator of an aircraft provide a written report of an aircraft accident to the National Transportation Safety Board

Front

CHOICE 3 — NTSB 830.15 specifies that the operator of an aircraft must file a written report with the NTSB within 10 days of an accident.

Back

What is the correct procedure or recover from an exessively nose-high critical attitude

Front

CHOICE 3 — To avoid a stall, add power, decrease pitch to reduce the angle of attack, and roll the wings level.

Back

What is the pilot-in-command's responsibility when flying a propeller aircraft within 20 miles of the airport of intended landing and ATC requests the pilot to reduce speed to 160? (Pilot complies with speed adjustment).

Front

CHOICE 3 — You should comply with the requested speed, if able, and reduce your indicated airspeed to 160 kts. When within 20 miles of your destination airport, ATC must obtain pilot concurrence to reduce propeller aircraft speed below 150 knots. You should maintain the assigned airspeed within 10 knots.

Back

To level off from a climb or descent, lead the desired altitude by 10% of the

Front

CHOICE 3 — A useful guide for leveling off from a climb or descent is to lead the desired altitude by approximately 10% of the vertical speed.

Back

A row of flush-mounted flashing white lights perpendicular to the runway center line are

Front

CHOICE 2 — Land and hold short lights are a row of flush-mounted flashing white lights installed at the hold short point, perpendicular to the center line of the runway on which they are installed.

Back

What is the relative bearing to the station if your aircraft is on a magnetic heading of 045 degrees and the magnetic bearing from the station is 360 degrees?

Front

CHOICE 2 — The correct formula is: MB - MH = RB. The magnetic bearing to the station is 180° minus the magnetic heading of 045° which equals 135°.

Back

What do the markings on the runways indicate?

Front

CHOICE 3 — Since runway 4 has only a runway number and a center line, it is a basic VFR runway. The distance markers added to the threshold markings on runway 36 indicate it is a precision instrument runway.

Back

Refer to the accompanying instrument panel illustration and interpret the flight attitude of the aircraft. Note that one instrument has malfunctioned

Front

CHOICE 2 — The attitude indicator has failed and is giving false indications of a left turn with nose-low pitch attitude.

Back

If you receive void time with an IFR clearance and are unable to depart prior to void time, ATC must be notified within

Front

CHOICE 2 — If you do not depart prior to the void time in this situation, you must advise ATC of your intentions as soon as possible, but no later than 30 minutes after the void time. Failure to take this action can result in costly delays and rerouting of other IFR traffic because ATC will assume that you have departed on time as cleared. In addition, expensive search-and-rescue operations may be initiated.

Back

When tracking inbound to an NDB using a fixed card ADF with a 5 degree right wind correction angle, the relative bearing will be

Front

CHOICE 3 — 355 degrees. Relative bearing is the number of degrees between the nose of the aircraft and the station, measured clockwise. Regardless of the number of degrees you are correcting left or right, you are on course when the wind correction angle equals the number of degrees a station is to the left or right of the aircraft's nose.

Back

As a pilot in command of an IFR flight in an airplane, you must have logged within the last six months at least

Front

CHOICE 3 — FAR 61.57 states that at least six instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting and tracking courses through the use of navigation systems, must be performed and logged in actual flight or in a simulator or flight training device representative of the aircraft category.

Back

What cruising altitude should you select when flying on a magnetic course of 120 degrees, assuming you are operating on an IFR flight plan with an altitude assignment of "VFR on top"?

Front

CHOICE 3 — While operating with a "VFR-ontop" clearance below FL180, use the appropriate VFR cruising altitude. In this case, you should use an odd-thousand foot altitude plus 500 feet.

Back

The airspace which surrounds a tower-controlled airport and normally extends up to 2,500 feet above the airport is classified as

Front

CHOICE 2 — Class D airspace, which exists only when the control tower is in operation, normally includes the airspace within approximately four nautical miles of the geographical center of the airport and extends from the ground up to and including 2,500 feet above the airport. You must maintain two-way communications with ATC while within Class D airspace.

Back

In order to fly with a pilot who is logging simulated instrument time, the safety pilot must be an

Front

CHOICE 3 — FAR 91.107 and 91.109 states that an appropriately rated pilot must occupy the other control seat as a safety pilot during simulated instrument flight.

Back

During deceleration from cruise flight, precision error causes the attitude indicator to show a slight

Front

CHOICE 3 — Acceleration or deceleration can induce precession errors within the attitude indicator. Deceleration causes the attitude indicator to give a temporary, false indication of a descent.

Back

The relative bearing to the station is (refer to heading and ADF indicators)

Front

CHOICE 2 — When you are using a fixed compass- card instrument, the ADF pointer indicates relative bearing. In this case, the relative bearing is 190°.

Back

Which rules apply to the pilot in command when operating on a VFR-on-Top clearance?

Front

CHOICE 2 — VFR-on-top allows you to fly in VFR conditions and at appropriate VFR cruising altitudes while on an IFR flight plan. In addition to compliance with VFR visibility, cloud clearance, and cruising altitude requirements, you also must observe minimum IFR altitudes.

Back

When are ATIS broadcasts updated?

Front

CHOICE 3 — The ATIS broadcast is updated upon the receipt of any official hourly and special weather. A new recording will also be made when there is a change in other pertinent data, such as a change of runway or the instrument approach in use.

Back

You are planning an IFR flight (not for hire) in VFR conditions that departs from an airport located within Class B airspace. The required aircraft and equipment inspections include a(n)

Front

CHOICE 2 — The required inspections include the annual aircraft inspection, pitot-static and altimeter inspections, and the VOR equipment check. In addition, the transponder must have been inspected within the preceding 24 calendar months.

Back

What methods, if any, are available for determining the accuracy o the CPR bearing pointer of an RMI?

Front

CHOICE 2 — FAR 91.171 lists the procedures available to test the accuracy of VOR receivers, regardless of the type of equipment. After you select the appropriate frequency, all you need to do is make sure the bearing pointer of the RMI displays the proper indications.

Back

How often should you check the heading indicator and align it with the magnetic compass?

Front

CHOICE 1 — Due to internal friction within the gyroscope, precession is common to heading indicators. Precession causes the selected heading to drift from the set value. You should align the heading indicator with the magnetic compass before flight and check it at 15-minute intervals during flight.

Back

Assume you are departing on February 15 for a flight that requires you to have a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating. What is the lowest class of medical certification required, and what is the earliest date it could have been issued?

Front

CHOICE 2 — A second-class medical certificate is required for all commercial operations. For commercial operations, the second-class medical certificate expires at the end of the last day of the twelfth month after the month of the date of examination.

Back

If you do not want to use a SID or STAR, you should notify

Front

CHOICE 3 — If you do not have at least the textual description of the instrument departure procedure (DP) or standard terminal arrival route (STAR), or if you do not wish to use either of these procedures, you should make a notation of this effect in the remarks section of your flight plan.

Back

The three pressure instruments connected to the pitot-static system are the

Front

CHOICE 2 — The airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator are the three pressure-sensitive pitot-static instruments. Each of these instruments is connected to a static source, however, only the airspeed indicator is connected to the pitot source,which is the source of impact or ram air pressure

Back

The approximate lead for intercepting a DME arc from a radial at a groundspeed of 150 knots or less is

Front

CHOICE 1 — For groundspeeds below 150 knots, a one-half nautical mile leadpoint is adequate.

Back

During level flight you should correct altitude deviations of less than 100 feet by changing

Front

CHOICE 1 — Normally, you correct minor deviations from altitude with only pitch changes. However, if your altitude changes more than 100 feet, you should make adjustments in both pitch and power

Back

The main instrument for initially establishing a climb or descent attitude is the

Front

CHOICE 2 — Initially, you should establish the attitude for a climb or descent by reference to the attitude indicator.

Back

Prior to takeoff under IFR conditions, you find the vertical speed indicator to be in error by 125 f.p.m. What action, if any, should you take to comply with regulations?

Front

CHOICE 1 — No action is required by regulation. FAR 91.205, which lists instrument and equipment necessary for IFR flight, does not include a vertical speed indicator. However, as a practical matter, you should make sure the instrument error is corrected before you conduct IFR operations.

Back

For what purposes can the displaced thresholds on the approach ends of runway 4 and 36 be used?

Front

CHOICE 3 — Yellow chevrons leading to the threshold of runway 4 mean the area is a blastpad, stopway, or overrun and it cannot be used for taxi, takeoff, or landing. White arrows leading to the threshold of runway 36 mean it can be used for taxi, takeoff, and landing rollout.

Back

Which clearance items are always given in an abbreviated IFR departure clearance? (Assume radar environment.)

Front

CHOICE 2 — ATC may issue an abbreviated clearance by using the phrase "cleared as filed." This clearance will contain the name of your destination airport or clearance limit, the assigned enroute altitude, and DP information if appropriate.

Back

What percentage of all aviation accidents can be attributed to human actors-related causes?

Front

Choice 3: 75% of aviation accidents can be attributed to human factors-related causes. Some sources of pilot error in the instrument and commercial environments include; misinterpretation of a chart, failure to understand a clearance, inability to use equipment properly, and lack of coordination among crew members.

Back

If a control tower and an FSS are located on the same airport, which tower unction is assumed by the FSS during those hours when the tower is closed?

Front

CHOICE 1 — Local airport advisory (LAA) service is provided by as FSS physically located on an airport which does not have a control tower or where the tower is operating part time.

Back

What type of airspace normally has a minimum flight visibility requirement of 1 statute mile for day VFR operations and does not require an IFR flight plan for IFR operations?

Front

CHOICE 2 — As indicated in FAR 91.155, the minimum visibility required for flight under day VFR in Class G airspace below 10,000 feet MSL is one statute mile. IFR flight in Class G airspace, although legal, is risky. Since ATC had neither the responsibility nor the authority to exercise control over aircraft in Class G airspace, the main traffic separation procedure is adherence to IFR cruising altitudes.

Back

As an instrument-rated airplane pilot, what is the appropriate procedure to regain instrument currency if you have not flown using instrument references for a period of 12 months?

Front

CHOICE 2 — To regain instrument currency after 12 months have elapsed, FAR 61.57 requires that you pass an instrument proficiency check with an FAA-approved check pilot or a certified instrument flight instructor.

Back

A cruise clearance from ARTCC authorized you to fly

Front

CHOICE 1 — A cruise clearance includes an authorization for you to fly to and use any published approach procedure at your destination airport.

Back

According to FAR part 91, the required minimum flight crew must use supplemental oxygen at all times about what cabin pressure altitude?

Front

CHOICE 3 — As noted in FAR 91.211, between 12,500 feet MSL and 14,000 feet MSL cabin pressure altitude, the flight crew must use oxygen for that portion of the flight that exceeds 30 minutes. The use of supplemental oxygen by flight crew members is required at all times above a cabin pressure altitude of 14,000 feet MSL.

Back

During an established coordinated turn at a constant airspeed and altitude, use the ailerons to control the rate of turn and the rudder to control the

Front

CHOICE 3 — During a turn, the rudder controls the quality of the turn as indicated by the position of the ball in the inclinometer. If the ball is right of center, add right rudder pressure; if the ball is left of center, add left rudder pressure.

Back

According to the illustrated RMI indication, what is the aircraft's approximate position?

Front

CHOICE 2 — With an RMI, the magnetic heading appears under the top index and the ADF and VOR bearing pointers give a direct reading of magnetic bearing to the station. The VOR pointer shows the station behind and slightly to the right (225° magnetic bearing). The ADF pointer shows the station to the right (140° magnetic bearing). Position B fits these conditions.

Back

Assume you are flying a light aircraft on an approach using a 3-bar VASI installation. What color combination (top to bottom) is appropriate when you are established on the proper glide slope?

Front

CHOICE 2 — While flying a light aircraft on a three-bar VASI approach, you should use the lower glide path provided by the near and middle bars. The indications are the same as those on a normal two-bar VASI. The far bar will indicate red since the lower glide path is approximately one-half degree below the upper glide path.

Back

Using the accompanying illustration, approximately how far from the station is the aircraft if it takes 2 minutes, 45 seconds to cross 10 degrees of radial span at a groundspeed of 104 knots?

Front

CHOICE 3 — To solve this problem, divide the time (in seconds) by the degrees of bearing change between the radials used for timing (165 ÷ 10 = 16.5 minutes). Next, use your flight computer to determine the distance of approximately 29 n.m. to the station.

Back

When filing a composite flight plan where the first portion of the light is IFR, which fix(es) should be indicated on the flight plan form?

Front

CHOICE 3 — When a composite flight plan is filed, the IFR portion must include all fixes indicating transitions from one airway to another, those defining direct route segments, and the clearance limit.

Back

When climbing to your assigned altitude on an IFR clearance, ATC expects the last 1,000 feet of your climb to be at a rate of

Front

CHOICE 2 — You are expected to climb (or descend) at an optimum rate consistent with your airplane's performance characteristics to within 1,000 feet of your assigned altitude, then at 500 to 1,500 f.p.m. An exception is when ATC uses the term "at pilot's discretion." In this event, you may climb (or descend) at any rate you wish to use.

Back

While enroute you read back a clearance to ATC and no response is recieved, you should assume

Front

CHOICE 2 — Readback of ATC clearances is crucial in the IFR environment. You should not assume controller silence after a read back is verification of your transmission. If you are unsure if ATC understood your communication, ask for a verbal confirmation.

Back

A rapid acceleration during instrument flight can create the illusion of

Front

CHOICE 3 — Your vestibular system is sending an incorrect message to your brain during a rapid acceleration, making you believe you are in a nose up attitude. The best way to overcome this is to rely on your instruments, since they are your only accurate source of information.

Back

When you are cleared for an approach while being radar vectored, you must maintain your last assigned altitude until

Front

CHOICE 3 — When you are cleared for an approach while being radar vectored, you must maintain your last assigned altitude until established on a segment of the published route or instrument approach procedure.

Back

According to the FAR's, what is the minimum communications equipment required or IFR flight?

Front

CHOICE 3 — FAR 91.205 states that, for IFR flight, the aircraft must have two-way communications and navigational equipment appropriate to the ground facilities to be used.
