What is the F.A.R requirement with respect to designating an alternate airport weather minimums?
135.221 - ✔✔No person may designate an alternate airport unless the weather reports or forecasts, or
any combination of them, indicate that the weather conditions will be at or above authorized alternate
airport landing minimums for that airport at the estimated time of arrival.
What is the F.A.R requirement with respect to the first airport of intended landing and fuel
requirements? 135.223 - ✔✔1-2-3 rule. Must carry sufficient fuel to first airport of landing plus fuel to
alternate plus 45 minutes unless:
The airport has an I.A.P and the weather reports/forecast or combination indicate from 1 hour
before/after ETA ceiling will be 1500 ft above lowest circling MDA or if no circling procedure, 1500 ft
above lowest published minima or 2000 ft above airport elevation, whichever is higher; and ....
3 miles visibility or 2 miles more than the lowest visibility minima for I.A.P to be used, whichever is
greater.
What is the F.A.R requirement with respect to commencement of an I.A.P.? 135.225 - ✔✔Cannot
commence the approach unless the airport has a weather facility operated by NWS and latest reported
conditions are at or above the authorized IFR landing minimums for that airport.
PIlots with less than 100 hours in type must increase ceiling and visibility minima by how much? -
✔✔100 feet and 1/2 mile.
Under what circumstances can a pilot commence an instrument approach to a facility that does not have
an approved source of weather? - ✔✔Alternate airport must have an approved source of weather and
and latest weather report includes altimeter setting for destination airport. pilot may use the current
altimeter setting provided by the facility designated on the approach chart for the destination airport.
Under which circumstances may a pilot continue an approach after conditions have deteriorated below
the published or derived minimums? - ✔✔Aircraft has passed the FAF on an ILS approach or has been
turned over to final approach controller on ASR or PAR approach, or on a non-precision approach has
passed the facility or FAF or if no FAF has completed the procedure turn and is established inbound.
Upon reaching the DA/MDA actual weather at or above minimums prescribed for procedure.
, What are the minimum qualifications for PIC? - ✔✔CPL with instrument rating and 1500 hours total
time, 500 hours cross country, 100 hours night, 75 actual or simulated IFR of which 50 must be actual
flight.

✔✔Every second 135.297 Instrument Competency Check.
What must the route check consist of? 135.299 - ✔✔One flight over one route segment and must
include takeoffs and landings at one or more representative airports, at least one flight shall be flown
over a civil airway, an approved off-airway route, or a portion of either of them.
What are the maximum number of flight hours a pilot can fly in a quarter, any two quarters or a year?
135.267 - ✔✔500 hours in any one quarter, 800 hours in any two consecutive quarters or 1400 hours in a
year.
What is the maximum flight time a pilot may fly in any 24 hour period? 135.267 - ✔✔8 hours for a single
pilot or 10 hours for a two pilot crew.
Under which conditions can the 8 or 10 hour flight time limitation is exceeded? 135.267(c) - ✔✔Must
occur during a regularly scheduled 14 hour duty period, must be preceded by and followed by 10
consecutive hour rest period.
What is the required (compensatory) rest period when a flight time limitation has been exceeded
(because of circumstances beyond the control of either the FMT or the crew member? 135.267(e) -
✔✔11 consecutive hours of rest for 30 minutes;
12 consecutive hours of rest for 30 to 60 minutes;
16 consecutive hours of rest for in excess of 60 minutes.
How many rest periods of at least 24 consecutive hours are required in any calendar quarter? 135.267(f)
- ✔✔13.
