IFR Law Sample Paper 5

In order to fly through a Volcanic Hazard Area (VHZ) the requirements are:

• You can not enter a VHZ under any circumstances

• You must be VMC during daylight hours

• The Alert Level must be less than two.

• You must be radar vectored

You can fly with an altimeter and a transponder which has been checked within the preceding.

• 6 months

• 12 months

• 18 months

• 24 months

What is the minimum radar separation due to wake turbulence for a light aircraft following behind a medium aircraft?

• 3nm

• 4nm

• 5nm

• 6nm

Which of the following cruising levels are appropriate for a magnetic track of 269° under IFR within the domestic FIR?

(i) 5000 ft

(ii) 6000 ft

(iii) 11,000 ft

(iv) 14,000 ft

(v) FL300

(vi) FL310

(vii) FL320

• (i) (iii) (vi)

• (ii) (vi)

• (ii) (v) (vii)

• (ii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii)

Radar vectoring departures will terminate

• When track is intercepted.

• When clear of terrain

• At MSA

• Overhead the beacon

If an instrument approach procedure without alternate minima has been prescribed the minima must be:

(i) For precision approaches

(ii) For non precision approaches

• (i) 600 ft-3000m (ii) 800 ft-4000m

• (i) 1100ft -4000m (ii) 1100 ft-5000m

• (i) 600 ft-3000m (ii) 1200 ft-6km

• (i) 600 ft-3000m (ii) 1100 ft-4000m

What is the minimum flight altitude for an IFR flight along a route segment between two NDBs when a MEA has not been specified?

• The lowest altitude prescribed in the IFR table of cruising altitudes appropriate to the magnetic track that is at or above the specified MSA.

• The specified MEA.

• The specified MEA or MRA whichever is the higher.

• The lowest altitude prescribed in the IFR table of cruising altitudes appropriate to the magnetic track that is at or above the MEA or MSA whichever is the higher.

With the exception of an area of 20nm radius which includes Mt Cook, what is the minimum usable flight level (FL) when the area QNH is 980hpa or less?

• FL 150

• FL 140

• FL 130

• FL 160

You experience communication failure while enroute on an IFR flight. The meteorological conditions would permit the flight to be continued maintaining VMC. What actions should you take?

• Proceed according to the flight plan route, maintain cruising altitude until overhead the destination navigation aid and carry out the most appropriate instrument approach procedures.

• Proceed according to the flight plan route, cruise at the minimum IFR flight altitude, descend according to the DME descent steps and carry out a visual approach.

• Maintain VMC and land at the nearest suitable airfield

• Maintain VMC, proceed to planned destination and if in a CTA vacate by the shortest possible route.

An IFR aircraft approaching an aerodrome and cleared for a STAR is cleared:

• For the procedures outlined in the STAR, the instrument approach and the landing.

• For the procedures outlined in the STAR and the instrument approach.

• For the procedures outlined in the STAR only.

• For the instrument approach.
