DAY 2

If a visual descent point (VDP) is published on a GPS approach, it. will be coded in the waypoint sequence and identified using ATD. will not be included in the sequence of waypoints. must be included in the normal waypoints.

If installed, what aural and visual indications should be observed over the ILS back course marker?. A series of two dot combinations, and a white marker beacon light. Continuous dashes at the rate of one per second, and a white marker beacon light. A series of two dash combinations, and a white marker beacon light.

Authorization to conduct any GPS operation under IFR requires that. the pilot review appropriate weather, aircraft flight manual (AFM), and operation of the particular GPS receiver. air carrier and commercial operators must meet the appropriate provisions of their approved operations specifications. the equipment be approved in accordance with TSO C-115a.

What action should be taken by the pilot in command of a transport category airplane if the airborne weather radar becomes inoperative en route on an IFR flight for which weather reports indicate possible thunderstorms?. Request radar vectors from ATC to the nearest suitable airport and land. Proceed in accordance with the approved instructions and procedures specified in the operations manual for such an event. Return to the departure airport if the thunderstorms have not been encountered, and there is enough fuel remaining.

An approved minimum equipment list or FAA Letter of Authorization allows certain instruments or equipment. to be inoperative prior to beginning a flight in an aircraft if prescribed procedures are followed. to be inoperative anytime with no other documentation required or procedures to be followed. to be inoperative for a one-time ferry flight of a large airplane to a maintenance base without further documentation from the operator or FAA with passengers on board.

What is the advantage of HIRL or MIRL on an IFR runway as compared to a VFR runway?. Lights are closer together and easily distinguished from surrounding lights. Amber lights replace white on the last 2,000 feet of runway for a caution zone. Alternate red and white lights replace the white on the last 3,000 feet of runway for a caution zone.

Information recorded during normal operation of a cockpit voice recorder in a large pressurized airplane with four reciprocating engines. may all be erased or otherwise obliterated except for the last 30 minutes. may be erased or otherwise obliterated except for the last 30 minutes prior to landing. may all be erased, as the voice recorder is not required on an aircraft with reciprocating engines.

During an en route descent in a fixed-thrust and fixed-pitch attitude configuration, both the ram air input and drain hole of the pitot system become completely blocked by ice. What airspeed indication can be expected?. Increase in indicated airspeed. Decrease in indicated airspeed. Indicated airspeed remains at the value prior to icing.

Where does the DME indicator have the greatest error between the ground distance and displayed distance to the VORTAC?. High altitudes close to the VORTAC. Low altitudes close to the VORTAC. Low altitudes far from the VORTAC.

A pilot of a high-performance airplane should be aware that flying a steeper-than- normal VASI glide slope angle may result in. a hard landing. increased landing rollout. landing short of the runway threshold.

Risk is increased when flightcrew members. fail to monitor automated navigation systems. allocate time to verify expected performance of automated systems. question the performance of each other’s duties.

How will the airspeed indicator react if the ram air input to the pitot head is blocked by ice, but the drain hole and static port are not?. Indication will drop to zero. Indication will rise to the top of the scale. Indication will remain constant but will increase in a climb.

When using GPS for navigation and instrument approaches, a required alternate airport must have. an approved instrument approach procedure, besides GPS, that is expected to be operational and available at the ETA. a GPS approach that is expected to be operational and available at the ETA. authorization to fly approaches under IFR using GPS avionics.

When may a pilot descend below 100 feet above the touchdown zone elevation during a Category II ILS instrument approach when only the approach lights are visible?. After passing the visual descent point (VDP). When the RVR is 1,600 feet or more. When the red terminal bar of the approach light systems are in sight.

Identify the runway distance remaining markers. Signs with increments of 1,000 feet distance remaining. Red markers laterally placed across the runway at 3,000 feet from the end. Yellow marker laterally placed across the runway with signs on the side denoting distance to end.

Missed approach routing in which the first track is via a course rather than direct to the next waypoint requires. that the GPS receiver be sequenced to the missed approach portion of the procedure. manual intervention by the pilot, but will not be required, if RAIM is available. additional action by the operator to set the course.
