IFR Quiz # 2, Mark Boyd, WVI, 8-8-2002 1. If RAIM is unavailable, can you do an NDB approach with an IFR certified GPS? Can you fly direct to NALLS intersection? Only if the plane has an ADF also. Only if you can ID NALLS with the other equipment on board also. CFR 91.205(d)(2) AIM 1-1-21.b.1.(b) AIM 5-1-7.c 2. Assume RAIM is working. The datacard expired yesterday. Without DME or ADF in the plane (just one VOR/GS) Can you fly the WVI VOR DME IFR? Can you file MRY (with 600/2) as an alternate? What if MRY is 1900/2? What if MRY is 1900/2 with only a VOR/LOC and the IFR GPS but no G/S installed? Yes, if you've verified SNS is correct in the database, you can still use the GPS for DME. No, MRY requires 700/2 as an alternate. In radar yes, but without radar, no, since you don't have any way of flying the feeder routes without GPS (ADF is required and the GPS cannot ever be used for required equipment for a filed alternate). In radar, you can do his since you can get ATC to identify MUNSO for you so you can start your timer for the missed (but this is a real stretch), but without radar you simply don't have the "equipment appropriate to the ground facilities to be used." CFR 91.205(d)(2) AIM TBL 1-1-8 14 CFR 97 AIM 1-1-21.c.6.(h) AIM 5-4-6 3. Your beacon light is inop, but your strobes work. Can you fly in daytime? Can you fly after sunset? Do they need to be on? Yes, have remaining anticollision lights lighted (strobes), and head to repairs. Yes, again proceeding to repairs. No, the pilot can turn them off for safety (so they don't look like REIL to other planes and so they don't bother the pilot in the clouds). 14 CFR 91.209 14 CFR 91.205.b.11 14 CFR 91.205.c.3 AIM 4-3-23 4. You're holding over Salinas 3000. Given "cruise 6000 Watsonville, cancel or miss on 128.7, goodnight." What do you do? Depart the hold within two minutes at the fix after climbing to the right altitude to start one of the WVI approaches. After missing, climb to missed altitude or all the way to 6000 during the missed to get radio/radar comms. AIM 4-4-3.d.3 AIM 5-4-7.d 5. Flying direct Salinas, you're given "expect hold SNS." The freq is busy and you find you can receive but not transmit. What now? Hold with right turns with the inbound leg matching the inbound direct course (a direct entry), since there is no hold depicted on the enroute IFR chart. AIM 5-3-7 6. Can you file and fly to MRY (800/2) with only DME and one VOR/LOC/GS when MRY approach is closed? What is a feeder route? No, can't find feeder routes or MUNSO. A feeder route allows you to get to an IAF for an approach from a fix/airway. CFR 91.205(d)(2) 14 CFR 91.205.d.2 AIM 5-4-6 7. Over woodside VOR (OSI) on V87 given "cleared SNS cruise 5000, cancel or miss on..." You want to fly the minimum altitudes. What are stepdowns and their altitudes? What is the cancel or miss frequency? What do you do differently if it is lost comms at the ...? 5000 to SANTY, 5000 hdg 074 until intercept SNS 122, 3600 until SEWOF, 1600 to SAMES, MDA past SAMES to the MAP (500 straight in or 560 for circle), then published missed altitudes or if the weather requires the ILS, 5000 to SANTY, 4000 within 22NM of SNS, cross SNS proceed 107 and arc at 5500, start approach stepdowns at DME 22.0, etc... The freq is 128.7 Oakland Center when 133.00 Monterey Approach is closed. For lost comms fly it the exact same way (except if you are ever VMC, you should maintain VFR, squawk 1200, and land). AIM 4-4-3.d.3 AIM 6-4-1 14 CFR 91.177 14 CFR 91.185.(c).(2) 8. You're given a takeoff clearance and a "void if not off in one minute." Three planes are on base or downwind. What do you do? What if you were given a release but no void time for the clearance? Two choices, either cancel your own clearance or squawk 1200 and take off VFR, but don't take the runway and rush past the hdg check and final instrument checks. If not given a void time, ask for one before departing. AIM 5-2-4.a.1 AIM 5-2-4.a.2 9. Immediately after takeoff from WVI (at 2 feet AGL) you are given "maintain 1000, turn right 270, traffic inbound 12 o'clock, 1 mile 1500 feet, a Mooney." What do you do? Climb to 400 then turn right 270 and climb/maintain 1000 since terrain is more threatening than the Mooney. AIM 4-4-8 AIM 5-2-6c2 AIM 5-5-14 10. You want a takeoff clearance from WVI at 2AM. What freq. do you use? 128.7 Oakland Center from the enroute chart comms tabulations. IFR enroute sectional 11. You heard ATC say "1 mile from NALLS, cleared approach King Air ABC" as you took the runway to depart IFR at WVI. What do you do? Get off the runway, call ATC about the inbound King Air, and notice how nice the controller is to you for saving his "deal." AIM 4-4-10.c 12. You flew the WVI VOR DME with a perfectly timed gliding descent. You broke out right at minimums at the MAP. None of this "dive and drive" garbage! You are directly over the intersection of 20 and 26. What do you do now? Fly the missed since you can't circle west of 2-20. AIM 5-4-19 AIM 5-5-4.g AIM 5-5-5.a.1.(b) 14 CFR 97 14 CFR 91.175(e) 13. What is a contact approach? What services does ATC provide? What is a special VFR approach? What services does ATC provide? Can you get vectors from ATC in G airspace? How? A contact approach can be requested by a pilot to fly IFR with 1 mile vis and clear of clouds. ATC keeps you from other airplanes, and terrain is your problem. Special VFR is the same thing except it's a VFR clearance. ATC separates planes but terrain is up to you. You can get vectors in G airspace. ATC issues a Diverse Vector Area and by doing so assumes responsibility for terrain clearance (this is usually only done to avoid a "deal," loss of minimum traffic separation).
