For aircraft other than helicopters, what minimum weather conditions must be forecast for your ETA at an alternate airport that has a precision approach procedure, with standard alternate minimums, in order to list it as an alternate for the IFR flight?
600-foot ceiling and 2 SM visibility at your ETA
.
What are the minimum weather conditions that must be forecasted to list an airport as an alternate when the airport has no approved IAP?
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.
What minimum conditions are necessary for the instrument approaches required for IFR currency?
six instrument approaches
and 3 hours under actual or simulated IFR conditions within the last 6 months; three of the approaches must be in the category of aircraft involved.
When planning your IFR flight An alternate is required what are the minimums for the IAP?
Standard alternate minimums for a precision approach are
a 600-foot ceiling and 2 SM visibility
. For a non-precision approach, the minimums are an 800-foot ceiling and 2 SM visibility. Standard alternate minimums apply unless higher alternate minimums are listed for an airport.
When should your transponder be on Mode C?
However, if you wish to operate in class A, B, or C airspace, or
at an altitude of over 10,000′ MSL
, or within a 30 nautical mile radius of the primary airport in class B airspace, you will need a transponder and altitude encoder (commonly referred to as “mode C”).
What minimum weather conditions must be forecast for your ETA at an alternate airport that has only a VOR approach?
then to the alternate airport, and then for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed. When an alternate airport is required, what are the weather minimums that must be forecast at the ETA for an alternate airport that has a precision approach procedure?
600 foot ceiling and 2 statute miles visibility.
When filing this airport as an alternate in an IFR flight plan the weather at the ETA must be?
Planning Your IFR Alternate
For your alternate airport to meet the requirements of FAR 91.169, the weather conditions at the ETA must meet or exceed:
If a usable precision approach is available: 600′ ceilings AND 2 SM of visibility
. If only a non-precision approach is useable: 800′ AND 2 SM of visibility.
What additional instrument experience is required?
What recent instrument flight experience requirements must be met before you may act as pilot in command of an airplane under IFR? A)
A minimum of six instrument approaches in an airplane
, or an approved simulator (airplane) or ground trainer, within the preceding 6 calendar months.
What are the minimum fuel requirements in IFR conditions if the first airport?
What are the minimum fuel requirements for airplanes in IFR conditions, if the first airport of intended landing is forecast to have a 1,500 foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility at flight-planned ETA? Fuel to fly to the first airport of intended landing, A) and
fly thereafter for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed
.
What does declaring minimum fuel ATC imply?
What does declaring “minimum fuel” to ATC imply? A)
Merely an advisory that indicates an emergency situation is possible should any undue delay occur.
How do you find alternate minimums?
To view the non-standard IFR alternate minimums information, you will need to go
to the Airports page > search for the airport > on the Procedures sub-tab, tap on Arrival > and then look
for the Alternate minimums line. If there is an entry, tap on it and swipe through the pages until you find the airport in question.
What are the IFR weather minimums for filing to a destination?
Remember, the
1, 2, 3 Rule
. Prior to filing an IFR Flight Plan, a pilot must check the weather at the original destination airport between 1 hour before the ETA to 1 hour after the ETA. During that time frame, the weather must be forecasted to be better than 2,000′ ceilings and 3 SM of visibility.
When must you file an IFR flight plan?
When Is an IFR Flight Plan Required and When Must You File One? Every time a pilot wants to fly in controlled airspace under IFR, whether that is prior to departure or prior to entering controlled airspace, a flight plan is required. An IFR flight plan should be submitted
at least 30 minutes before departure
.
What airspace requires a transponder?
Required for all aircraft in
Class A, B and C airspace
. Required for all aircraft in all airspace within 30 nm of an airport listed in appendix D, section 1 of Part 91 (Class B and military) from the surface upward to 10,000 feet msl.
What is a Mode C transponder?
Mode A and Mode C
When
the transponder receives a radar signal it sends back a transponder code
(or “squawk code”). … A transponder code can be paired with pressure altitude information, which is called “Mode C”. Mode 3A and C are used to help air traffic controllers to identify the aircraft and to maintain separation.
What information does a Mode C transponder give?
Mode C equipment enables
the ATCO to see the aircraft altitude or flight level automatically
. Mode S equipment has altitude capability and also permits data exchange.
