Instrument Rating - Stage 2 Exam - Race City Flight Operations

Welcome to your Instrument Rating - Stage 2 Exam

Name

What record shall be made in the aircraft log or other permanent record by the pilot making the VOR operational check?

the date, place, bearing error, and signature

the date, place, bearing error, aircraft total time, and signature

the date, frequency of VOR or VOT, number of flight hours since last check, and signatures

Which checks and inspections of flight instruments or instrument systems must be accomplished before an aircraft can be flown under IFR?

VOR within 30 days, altimeter systems within 24 calendar months, and transponder within 24 calendar months

VOR within 24 calendar months, transponder within 24 calendar months, and altimeter system within 12 calendar months

ELT test within 30 days, altimeter systems within 12 calendar months, and transponder within 24 calendar months

What minimum navigation equipment is required for IFR flight?

VOR/LOC receiver, transponder, and DME

Navigation equipment appropriate to the ground facilities to be used

VOR receiver and, if in ARTS III environment, a coded transponder equipped for altitude reporting

When checking a dual VOR system by use of a VOT, which illustration indicates the VOR's are satisfactory?

In which publication can the VOR receiver ground checkpoint(s) for a particular airport be found?

Chart Supplement

Aeronautical Information Manual

En Route Low Altitude Chart

As a rule of thumb, to minimize DME slant range error, how far from the facility should you be to consider the reading as accurate?

one or more miles for each 1,000 feet of altitude above the facility

no specific distance is specified since the reception is line-of-sight

Two miles or more for each 1,000 feet of altitude above the facility

What angular deviation from a VOR course centerline is represented by a full-scale deflection of the CDI?

5°

10°

4°

When using VOR for navigation, which of the following should be considered as station passage?

the first positive, complete reversal of the TO-FROM indicator

the first movement of CDI as the airplane enters the zone of confusion

the moment the TO-FROM indicator becomes blank

If the radio magnetic Indicator is tuned to a VOR, which illustration indicates the aircraft is on the 335° radial?

If the radio magnetic indicator is tuned to a VOR, which illustration indicates the aircraft is on the 010° radial?

In which general direction from the VORTAC is the aircraft located?

southwest

northeast

northwest

When installed with the ILS and specified in the approach procedures, DME may be used

in lieu of visibility requirements

in lieu of the OM

to determine distance from TDZ

How wide is an SDF course?

Varies from 5° to 10°

either 6° or 12°

either 3° or 6°

While flying a 3° glide slope, a constant tailwind shears to calm wind. Which conditions should the pilot expect?

airspeed and pitch attitude increase and there is a tendency to go below glide slope

airspeed and pitch attitude to decrease and there is a tendency to go below glide slope

airspeed and pitch attitude increase and there is a tendency to go above glide scope

Which range facility associated with the ILS is identified by the last two letters of the localizer identification group?

inner marker

outer marker

middle compass locator

Which indications will a pilot receive where an IM is installed on a front course ILS approach?

four dots per second and a flashing white light

one dot per second and a steady amber light

alternate dashes and a blue light

When tracking inbound on the localizer, which o the following is the proper procedure regarding drift corrections?

drift corrections should be accurately established before reaching the outer marker and completion of the approach should be accomplished with heading corrections no greater than 2°

drift corrections should be made in 5° increments after passing the outer marker

drift corrections should be made in 10° increments after passing the outer marker

The primary purpose of runway end identifier lights, installed at many airfields, is to provide

rapid identification of the approach end of the runway during reduced visibility

rapid identification of the primary runway during reduced visibility

a warning of the final 3,000 feet of runway remaining as viewed from the takeoff or approach positions

During a "no-gyro" approach and prior to being handed off to the final approach controller, the pilot should make all turns

one-half standard rate unless otherwise advised

standard rate unless otherwise advised

any rate not exceeding a 30° bank

Hand-held GPS systems certified for VFR operation, may be used during IFR operations as

an aid to situational awareness

the principal reference to determine enroute waypoints

the primary source of navigation

On a GPS approach, the GPS/HSI shows an LNAV/VNAV flag. What should you do?

follow the glidescope to the LNAV/VNAV DA

descend to the LNAV MDA missed approach point

execute the missed approach

In what circumstances would a baro-VNAV approach not be authorized?

in areas of hazardous terrain or when a remote altimeter setting is required

when the ground-based NAVAIDs, such as the ILS, are out of service

when the lower limit of the published temperature is -20°C and the outside temperature is -15°C

While on GPS approach, you receive a RAIM annunciation about the status of RAIM reliability.

execute an immediate missed approach only if you are past the FAWP

execute an immediate missed approach regardless of where you are on the approach path

continue the approach since you have up to 5 minutes of GPS accuracy to complete the approach after you receive the annunciation

As part of your GPS preflight planning, RAIM prediction should be verified. This means that

RAIM is predicted to be available for your entire route of flight including the GPS approach at your destination

RAIM availability is assured for your entire route of flight including the GPS approach at your destination

if RAIM is predicted to be available, you must still have ILS capability to use a GPS approach

On a WAAS-capable GPS approach, what is the significance of "LNAV+V" being displayed?

approved vertical guidance to descend to the decision height is provided to the pilot

advisory vertical guidance is provided as an aid to the pilot during the descent to the runway

advisory vertical guidance is provided to the pilt that must be used to lieu of published step-down fixes on the instrument approach

Ben and I had a great first flight with Race City. They were kind, professional, instructive, and enjoyable. We would recommend them to anyone interested in giving it a try.

Daniel Carignan

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The instructors were helpful in answering any questions I had. I would definitely recommend other to try out the discovery flight.
