| A. When the outside wx is IFR(less than 3 sm vis, 1000’ ceiling), we have to file ifr flight plan and receive clearance b. Do not confuse with class G cloud separation. If you are in class G and under 1200 agl, you need to have 1 sm vis and clear of cloud. However, it is low altitude operation. You must know what you are doing. | When are we required to file IFR flight plan and obtain IFR clearance before we go? |
| Yes, as long as the wx in destination allows you to descend from enroute minimum obstruction altitude to approach airport in VFR condition, you can file it. | Could you file an IFR flight plan to an airport which does not have any published instrument approach? |
| 123 rules: ETA to destination +/-1 hr, minimum 2000’ceiling, 3 sm vis. | Do we need an alternate airport in IFR flight plan? 123 rule |
| Non-precision : 800’ ceiling, 2 miles vis | Alternate airport requirement (non-precision) |
| I. ETA+/- 1hr to your alternate airport, the wx must be VFR (at least 3 sm, 1000’ceiling) ii. No adverse condition (icing, thunderstorm...etc) | UD: Always file an alternate |
| Check ODP or SID for each different airport | IFR take off requirement (non-standard) |
| The month you want to fly preceding 6 calendar months, 1. 6 app/1 holding/1 track and intercept nav source ii. 2nd 6 months 1. Must find CFII or safety pilots to complete the currency requirement 2. IPC(instrument proficiency check) | Currency requirement (IFR Pilot Same month and 2nd 6months) |
| Iii. Over 12 months, 1. IPC or instrument checkride iv. You must have either simulated time or actual time to log the approach 1. See FAA order for additional requirement | Currency requirement (IFR Pilot over 12 months) |
| Annual 12 month inspection VOR- 30 Days 100 Hour Altimeter/pitot static system 24 month Transponder 24 ELT 12/1 hour/half life A.D's | Aircraft Inspections (AV1ATEA) |
| With tower ATC Without tower call FSS or center/clearance delivery | Procedure to receive IFR clearance |
| Clearance limit Route Altitude Frequency Transponder code | IFR Clearance Format (CRAFT) |
| Visibility not less than IAP Normal Rate of decent/ Normal maneuvers Runway environment (REILS PAINT) VASI Other approach light (descend 100' above tdze) | When are pilots allowed to descend below minimum in a published approach? |
| A-Altitude C-Cant keep 500 fpm M-Missed appro E-Equipment Mal W-WX Unfor A-Airspeed +- 10 kn S-Safety/Holding | Required report (Radar Environment ACMEWASH) |
| VFR-stay in VFR, landing asap | Lost comm procedures vfr |
| 1. Assigned 2. Expected 3. Minimum obstruction clearance altitude | Lost Comm IFR (altitude) |
| I. MHA(minimum holding altitude)-6000MSL: 200 kts ii. 6000-14000:230kt iii. 14000 up: 265kt Standard holding leg(inbound) i. 14000 below: 1 min ii. 14000 above: 1.5mins | Holding procedure (Speed and standard hold) ATC will assign i. Direction/fix/radial/turn/EFC EFC (expected further clearance time) time i. If you do not receive any further clearance after EFC time, you are considered as lost communication. |
| I. Fuses ii. Landing light (required for hire) iii. Anticollion light iv. Position light v. Source of electricity | FLAPS(VFR Night) |
| A GPS system to enhance the GPS accuracy FAA thinks GPS without WAAS is not independent enough. | WAAS Wide Area Augmentation System |
| RNAV(GPS) – we can do it | RNAV (GPS) approach |
| We cannot do it. Required special training for crew member, required special aircraft equipment, and part 91 operator needs to have a letter of authorization from FAA | RNAV (RNP) approach |

| A. ABCDE b. check your Vref or Vso*1.3. c. check your digital supplement for approach plate i. category A: 0-90 kt ii. category B:90-120kt | IFR approach plate category's? |
