AERT 2800 Final Review

(Refer to Figures 174 and 175.) You are flying a turbojet and have been cleared via the Glen Rose 9 Arrival, SAT transition. DFW is landing south and ATC has instructed you to, "cross ISABL at and maintain 11,000." You must

• begin descent as soon as this clearance is received.

• begin descent at your discretion to comply with the crossing restriction.

• disregard the published speed restrictions on this STAR because the ATC crossing restriction deletes all published speed restrictions.

For IFR planning purposes, what are the compulsory reporting points when using VOR/DME or VORTAC fixes to define a direct route not on established airways?

• Fixes selected to define the route.

• There are no compulsory reporting points unless advised by ATC.

• At the changeover points.

What happens to residual ice that remains after deice boots are inflated and shed ice?

• Residual ice increases with a decrease in airspeed or temperature

• Residual ice remains the same until the aircraft exits icing conditions.

• Residual ice decreases with a decrease in airspeed or temperature.

While on an instrument flight in VFR conditions, ATC asks you to "…ADVISE WHEN YOU HAVE ATIS…" for your destination airport. Upon tuning to ATIS, you discover that it hasn't been updated in over an hour. Which statement is true?

• Because conditions are VFR, the ATIS will not be updated again until conditions become IFR.

• Since it has been over an hour, check back in a moment because it is likely being updated now.

• The tower is closed and you will need to call ATC to get an updated ATIS.

(Refer to Figure 227.) You are executing the Centennial Airport (APA) ILS RWY 35R approach. What is your crossing altitude at the outer marker?

• 2,092 feet MSL.

• 7,977 feet MSL.

• 8,000 feet MSL.

During IFR en route operations using an approved TSO-C129() or TSO-C196() GPS system for navigation,

• the aircraft must have an approved and operational alternate navigation system appropriate for the route.

• active monitoring of an alternate navigation system is always required

• no other navigation system is required.

During a "no gyro" approach and prior to being handed off to the final approach controller, the pilot should make all turns

• one-half standard rate unless otherwise advised.

• any rate not exceeding a 30° bank.

• standard rate unless otherwise advised.

After your recent IFR experience lapses, how much time do you have before you must pass an instrument proficiency check to act as pilot in command under IFR?

• 6 months.

• 90 days

• 12 months.

(Refer to Figure 210.) What is the minimum altitude at which you should intercept the glideslope on the ILS RWY 6 approach procedure?

• 3,000 feet MSL.

• 1,800 feet MSL.

• 1,080 feet MSL.

(Refer to Figure 178.) You have been cleared for the Straight-in Localizer approach for runway 13L at DAL. Prior to reaching the final approach fix, ATC advises you the RVR is not available and that the visibility is ½ SM. You may

• convert the RVR to statute miles and continue the approach.

• convert the RVR to statute miles and use the next higher minimums.

• request the ILS approach and disregard the RVR value.
