Instrument Rating – Stage 3 Exam

During your preflight planning for an IFR flight, you determine that the first airport of intended landing has no instrument approach prescribed in 14 CFR Part 97. The weather forecast for one hour before through one hour after your estimated time of arrival is 3,000' scattered with 5 miles visibility. To meet the fuel requirements for this flight, you must be able to fly to the first airport of intended landing,

To meet the minimum instrument experience requirements, within the last 6 calendar months you need

After your recent IFR experience lapses, how much time do you have before you must pass an instrument proficiency check to act as pilot in command under IFR?

The pilot in command of a civil aircraft must have an instrument rating only when operating

An aircraft operated under 14 CFR Part 91 IFR is required to have which of the following?

When may a pilot file a composite flight plan?

Preferred IFR routes beginning with a fix indicate that departing aircraft will normally be routed to the fix by

Which types of airspace are depicted on the En Route Low Altitude Chart?

Which conditions result in the formation of frost?

Clouds, fog, or dew will always form when

Under which condition does advection fog usually form?

You have been cleared to the CREAK intersection via the BTG 054° radial at 7,000 feet. Approaching CREAK, you are cleared for the LOC/DME RWY 21 approach to PDX. Descent to procedure turn altitude should not begin prior to

While flying on an IFR flight plan, you experience two-way communications radio failure while in VFR conditions. In this situation, you should continue your flight under

Which aeronautical chart depicts Military Training Routes (MTR) above 1,500 feet?

Where should the bearing pointer be located relative to the wingtip reference to maintain the 16 DME range in a left-hand arc with a left crosswind component?

What timing procedure should be used when performing a holding pattern at a VOR?

To ensure proper airspace protection while holding at 5,000 feet in a civil aircraft, what is the maximum indicated airspeed a pilot should use?

When making a “timed approach” from a holding fix at the outer marker, the pilot should adjust the

What does the absence of the procedure turn barb on the plan view on an approach chart indicate?

When more than one circuit of the holding pattern is needed to lose altitude or become better established on course, the additional circuits can be made

Expect clear ice to form on the leading edge of airfoils when

Enroute weather conditions are IMC. However, during the descent to your destination for an ILS approach, you encounter VMC weather conditions prior to reaching the initial approach fix. You know that to log the ILS approach toward instrument currency requirements,
