IFR Cross Country Flying

As part of your GPS preflight planning, RAIM prediction should be verified. This means that

• A. RAIM availability is assured for your entire route of flight including the GPS approach(es) at your destination.

• B. RAIM is predicted to be available for your entire route of flight including the GPS approach(es) at your destination.

• C. if RAIM is predicted to be available, you must still have ILS capability to use a GPS approach.

(Refer to Figure 78.) When eastbound on V86 between Whitehall and Livingston, the minimum altitude that you should cross BZN is

• A. 10,200 feet.

• B. 10,900 feet.

• C. 8,500 feet.

The lighter workloads associated with glass (digital) flight instrumentation

• A. are instrumental in decreasing flightcrew fatigue.

• B. have proven to increase safety in operations.

• C. may lead to complacency by the flightcrew.

What is the definition of a Technically Advanced Aircraft?

• A. An aircraft having an autopilot and electronic attitude indicator.

• B. An aircraft having an autopilot and a GPS navigation system.

• C. An aircraft having a GPS navigation system with a moving map display and an autopilot.

Unless otherwise prescribed, what is the rule regarding altitude and course to be maintained during an off-airways IFR flight over non-mountainous terrain?

• A. 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within 4 NM of course.

• B. 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within 5 SM of course.

• C. 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within 3 NM of course.

(Refer to Figure 24.) What is the MOCA between JNC and MANCA intersection on V187?

• A. 10,900 feet MSL.

• B. 12,000 feet MSL.

• C. 12,400 feet MSL.

In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of

• A. 3 SM from the course flown.

• B. 4 SM from the course flown.

• C. 4 NM from the course flown.

How can a pilot determine if a Global Positioning System (GPS) installed in an aircraft is approved for IFR enroute and IFR approaches?

• A. Flight manual supplement.

• B. GPS operator's manual.

• C. Aircraft owner's handbook.

A hand-held GPS system

• A. may be used for IFR operations in VFR weather conditions.

• B. is not authorized for IFR navigation.

• C. may be used in IFR weather conditions only for en route navigation.

(Refer to Figure 91.) What is the minimum crossing altitude at SABAT intersection when eastbound from DBS VORTAC on V298?

• A. 8,100 feet.

• B. 11,100 feet.

• C. 13,000 feet.
