IFR Sheppard Air Questions and Answers for Instant
Practice
/. You are flying toward a VOR with a TO indication. After crossing the VOR, you CDI
indicates a half-scale deflection to the right with a FROM indication. After flying for
several minutes on your present heading the CDI still shows a half scale deflection you
should - Answer-✅turn towards the right to get back on course
/.For aircraft other than helicopters, what minimum weather conditions must be forecast
for your ETA at an alternate airport that has a precision approach procedure, with
standard alternate minimums, in order to list it as an alternate for the IFR flight? -
Answer-✅600 ft ceiling and 2sm vis at you eta
/.when making an instrument approach at the selected alternate airport what landing
minimums apply? - Answer-✅The landing minimums published for the type of
procedure selected
/.When an alternate airport is required, what are the weather minimums that must be
forecast at the ETA for an alternate airport that has a precision approach procedure? -
Answer-✅600ft ceilings and 2 SM Vis
/.If severe turbulence is encountered during your IFR flight, the airplane should be
slowed to the design maneuvering speed because the - Answer-✅Airplane will stall
before exceeding the load limit
/.All pilots should use the local altimeter setting because it provides - Answer-✅data to
enable better vertical separation of aircraft
/.What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard
rate turn to the right from an easterly heading in the Northern Hemisphere? - Answer-
✅The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the
turn is smooth
/.During a constant-bank level turn, what effect would an increase in airspeed have on
the rate and radius of turn? - Answer-✅Rate of turn would decrease and radius of turn
would increase
/.Which altitude is indicated when the altimeter is set to 29.92" Hg? - Answer-
✅Pressure
, /.why is it important to have the correct altimeter setting? it allows the altimeter to read -
Answer-✅true altitude at field elevation
/.What pretakeoff check should be made of the attitude indicator in preparation for an
IFR flight? - Answer-✅the horizon bar should remain horizontal and not tilt more than 5
degrees during taxi
/.(Refer to figure 144.) which illustration indicates a coordinated turn? - Answer-✅Figure
3
/.while cruising at 160 knots, you wish to establish a climb at 130 knots. When entering
the climb (Full Panel), it is proper to make the initial pitch change by increasing back
elevator pressure until the - Answer-✅attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch
attitude appropriate for 130 knot climb
/.(Refer to figure 109) in which general direction from the VORTAC is the aircraft
located? - Answer-✅Northeast
/.what is indicated by the term "Embedded Thunderstorm" - Answer-✅Thunderstorms
are obscured by massive cloud layers and cannot be seen
/.Why is frost considered hazardous to flight operations? - Answer-✅Frost causes early
airflow separation resulting in loss of lift
/.(Refer to figure 7) What weather conditions are predicted in area 7? - Answer-
✅Forecast 4/8 to 6/8 coverage with cumulonimbus to FL 530
/.what information is provided by a Convective Outlook (AC)? - Answer-✅It defines
areas of slight, moderate and high risk of severe and general thunderstorm activity
/.(Refer to figure 210) When on the RWY 6 approach procedure, when approaching the
threshold or on the missed approach you should expect to see - Answer-✅white light
flashing all dots
/.A particular VOR station is undergoing routine maintenance. This is evidenced by -
Answer-✅removal of the identification feature
/.(refer to figure 135) which illustration would a pilot observe when on the lower glide
path - Answer-✅5
/.The "runway hold position" sign denotes - Answer-✅an entrance to runway from a
taxiway.
