INRAT EXAM WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS
Acceleration of the AC during a missed approach could cause a pilot to do what? -
Answer- Lower the nose of the AC which will degrade the required climb (Sensory
illusion of pitching up due to acceleration)
Exam gives you an approach plate depicts an NDB approach but it also provides a step-
down fix based on a DME (if you did not have DME, then this lower altitude would not
apply). - Answer- Question asks for what NAV equipment is required for this approach.
- An ADF is all that is required according to the procedure title-
[If you have DME then you have the advantage of the step down fix (and a lower MDA
is then authorized)]
What is a black dashed line on a LO Chart? - Answer- RNAV Route
Define Class B airspace. - Answer- All Controlled Low Level airspace above 12,500
ASL or at and above the MEA whichever is higher
Question on the minimum flight planning altitude pilots should use over the snow laden
mountains of Canada during the wintertime - Answer- At least 1000' above the
published MEA's
From whom do you obtain a SIGMET? - Answer- Flight Service Specialist (FSS)
126.7MHz
Comm failure during a SID - Answer- Read the SID chart Comm Failure Section
Question on T.O. minima when RVR is fluctuating. - Answer- OK if Tower VIS is 1/2SM
or Greater
When the term "Approximately" is used in a NOTAM - Answer- It must be follower later
by either a [R]eplacing NOTAM or a [C]ancelling NOTAM
On a missed approach, if no further clearance has been received what should you do? -
Answer- Hold at the missed approach fix if there is a published hold there OR if none
, published, hold (right turns - standard) on the initial inbound heading that took you
directly to the fix.
When must clearances and instructions issued by ATC be followed? - Answer-
Remember that clearances and instructions that are issued by ATC are only valid while
the AC is operating in CONTROLLED airspace.
Once Clear of controlled airspace, you no longer have to maintain the last assigned
altitude.
Does a heading amendment or altitude amendment to a SID cancel the SID? - Answer-
No
Black Hole Illusion - Answer- would cause a pilot to fly a visual approach too low.
When you receive a clnc prior to an IFR dep that includes a SID, What MUST be read
back? - Answer- Only the AC ident and the transponder code.
What are pilots required to do upon declaring a Minimum Fuel condition? - Answer-
During flight when a pilot has declared a MIN FUEL COND, Pilot should advise each
succeeding controller of the existence of the MIN FUEL COND.
If the condition becomes an emergency, then the pilot should report the fuel remaining
in Minutes.
What will ATC do if you have a COM failure? - Answer- Following a COM failure, ATC
will keep all other IFR traffic away from the destination airport for 30 minutes beyond
your ETA
Rain on the windscreen during an approach to a runway - Answer- pilot will thing the AC
is higher than actual. Low approach.
Exam points to the MEA of a particular airway and then proceeds to ask you what would
the MRA of that airway be? - Answer- If no MRA is published,
MEA = MRA
You execute a missed approach at Victoria (your dest) and now divert to Nanaimo
(YCD) (your alternate, which during flight planning had 1000' 3SM minima); WX at YCD
has deteriorated and is now 800 and 2.5SM. Can you proceed for the approach? -
Answer- Yes, the flight plan alternate minima no longer apply - Nanaimo is now your
new destination. - Shoot the approach down to the published landing limits on the CAP
chart for the approach you intend to fly into YCD
Alternate minimums:
PA
NPA - Answer- 600' Ceig 2SM
800' Ceig 2SM
