Instrument Stage 1 Exam Questions and
Answers| Latest Update
Which statement is true about using GPS navigation for flight under IFR? ✔️✔️C. IF your GPS
equipment does not have WAAS capability, the airplane must be equipped with the alternate
avionics necessary to receive the ground-based facilities that are appropriate for the route to
the destination and to any required alternate and those ground-based facilities must be
operational at the time of flight.
You are navigating on an IFR cross-country flight using WAAS certified GPS equipment. Which
statement is true regarding the HSI indication? ✔️✔️C. The airplane is two nautical miles off
course.
How can yo determine if the GPS equipment in your aircraft is approved for IFR operations?
✔️✔️A. Refer to TSO-145 or TSO-146.
When using GPS equipment for navigation, what is auto-sequencing? ✔️✔️C. The GPS receiver
senses when your aircraft passes a waypoint and automatically cycles to the next waypoint.
What guidelines should you follow when planning a flight under IFR that uses random RNAV
routes? ✔️✔️B. Plan routes to begin and end over arrival and departure fixes or navaids that
are appropriate for the altitude that you will be flying and avid prohibited and restricted
airspace's by 3 nautical miles.
What do the markings on the runway indicate? ✔️✔️B. Runway 4 is a visual runway and
Runway 36 is a precision instrument runway.
, For what purpose can the areas labeled A and B on Runway 4 and 36 be used? ✔️✔️C. Area A
is usable only as a blast pad, overrun, pr stopway; area B is usuable for taxi, takeoff, and landing
rollout.
Assume you are flying a light airplane on an approach using a 3-bar VASI installation. What
color combination (top to bottom) is appropriate whe you are established on the proper glide
slope? ✔️✔️B. Red, red, white
A row of flus-mounted flashing white lights perpendicular to the runway centerline are:
✔️✔️B. Land and hold short lights.
The airspace which surrounds a tower-controlled airport and normally extends up to 2,500 feet
above the airport is classified as: ✔️✔️B. Class D
What type of airspace normally has a minimum flight visibility requirement of one statute mile
for day VFR operations and does not require an IFR flight pan for IFR operations? ✔️✔️C. Class
G airspace more than 1,200 feet AGL and above 10,000 feet MSL
Refer to the Chart Supplement Airport/Facility Directory excerpt for Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport. What is true regarding Runway 8? ✔️✔️A. the runway is 11,489 feet
long with a displaced threshold of 898 feet.
What facility is primarily responsible for issuing IFR clearance and for monitoring each IFR flight
during the enroute phase? ✔️✔️C. Air route traffic control center (ARTCC)
When are ATIS broadcasts updated ✔️✔️C. Upon receipt of any official weather, regardless of
content change or reported values
