All time during which the instructor acts as instrument instructor in actual instrument weather conditions.
Which of the following terms describes an airport?
An area of land or water that is used or intended to be used for the landing and takeoff of aircraft, and includes its buildings and facilities, if any.
Which additional instrument experience, within the preceding 6 calendar months, is required to meet the requirements to act as pilot in command of an airplane under IFR if you already have 3 hours in an instrument simulator (including holding, intercepting, and tracking courses) and two instrument approaches in an airplane?
Another four instrument approaches in the same category.
A pilot's recent IFR experience expires on July 1 of this year. What is the latest date the pilot can meet the IFR experience requirement without having to take an instrument proficiency check?
December 31st, this year
The Glide Path Qualification Surface (GQS) limits the height of obstructions between
Decision altitude and the runway threshold.
Under which condition must the pilot in command of a civil aircraft have at least an instrument rating?
For a flight in VFR conditions while on an IFR flight plan.
Which additional IFR experience is required for you to meet the recent flight experience requirements to act as pilot in command of an airplane under IFR?Your present instrument experience within the preceding 6 calendar months is 1. three hours with holding, intercepting and tracking courses in an approved airplane flight simulator. 2. two instrument approaches in an airplane.
Four instrument approaches in an airplane, or an approved airplane flight simulator or training device.
To meet instrument experience requirements of CFR Part 61, section 61.57(c), a pilot enters the condition of flight in the pilot logbook as simulated instrument conditions, what other qualifying information must also be entered?
Location and type of each instrument approach completed and name of safety pilot.
You own an aircraft which is certificated to carry 8 occupants and has a total of 8 seats installed, including the pilot's seat. You have recently elected to fly under BasicMed. May you continue to fly the aircraft?
No.
Do regulations permit you to act as pilot in command of an airplane in IMC if you hold a private pilot certificate with ASEL, rotorcraft category, with helicopter class rating and instrument helicopter rating?
No. You must hold either an unrestricted airline transport pilot-airplane certificate or an airplane instrument rating.
Which flight time may be logged as instrument time when on an instrument flight plan?
Only the time you controlled the aircraft solely by reference to flight instruments.
What are the requirements to log an ILS approach in VMC conditions for instrument currency?
The ILS approach can be credited only if you use a view-limiting device and log the name of the safety pilot.
What minimum conditions are necessary for the instrument approaches required for IFR currency?
The approaches may be made in an aircraft, flight simulator, or flight training device.
What limitation is imposed on a newly certificated commercial airplane pilot if that person does not hold an instrument pilot rating?
The carrying of passengers for hire on cross-country flights is limited to 50 NM and the carrying of passengers for hire at night is prohibited.
Which limitation is imposed on the holder of a Commercial Pilot Certificate if that person does not hold an instrument rating?
The carrying of passengers for hire on cross-country flights is limited to 50 NM and the carrying of passengers for hire at night is prohibited.
The term "airport" means an area of land or water that is
Used or intended to be used for the landing and takeoff of aircraft and includes its buildings and facilities, if any.
You are a private pilot operating under BasicMed and recently earned your instrument rating. May you file an IFR flight plan and act as PIC while operating in weather that is less than VFR minimums?
Yes, BasicMed allows appropriately rated pilots to act as PIC under instrument flight rules.
To carry passengers for hire in an airplane on cross-country flights of more than 50 NM from the departure airport, the pilot in command is required to hold at least
a Commercial Pilot Certificate with an instrument rating.
If you are operating under BasicMed, you may fly an aircraft with
a maximum certificated takeoff weight of no more than 6,000 lb.
A certificated commercial pilot who carries passengers for hire at night or in excess of 50 NM is required to have at least
an instrument rating in the same category and class of aircraft.
To meet the minimum required instrument flight experience to act as pilot in command of an aircraft under IFR, you must have logged within the 6 calendar months preceding the month of the flight, in the same category of aircraft:
holding procedures, intercepting and tracking courses through the use of navigation systems, and six instrument approaches.
An instrument rated pilot who has not logged any instrument time in 1 year or more cannot serve as pilot in command under IFR, unless the pilot
passes an instrument proficiency check in the category of aircraft involved, given by an approved FAA examiner, instrument instructor, or FAA inspector.
A pilot plans an IFR flight on July 10 of this year. In order to meet IFR currency requirements the pilot must have
performed his or her currency tasks between January 1 and July 10.
To meet the minimum instrument experience requirements, within the last 6 calendar months you need
six instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting and tracking courses in the appropriate category of aircraft
A pilot may satisfy the recent flight experience requirement necessary to act as pilot in command in IMC in powered aircraft by logging within the 6 calendar months preceding the month of the flight
six instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting and tracking courses using navigational systems.
How may a pilot satisfy the recent flight experience requirement necessary to act as pilot in command in IMC in powered aircraft? Within the previous 6 calendar months, logged
six instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting and tracking courses using navigational systems.
No pilot may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft, under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR unless that pilot has, within the preceding 6 calendar months, completed at least
six instrument approaches, holding procedures, intercepting and tracking courses using navigational systems, or passed an instrument proficiency check.
