NZ IFR Rules - PT2 | Quiz - Pilot George, L3 Airline Academy (CTC Aviation) Cadet Blog

While I have tried to ensure the information in this quiz is accurate, it is your own responsibility to check it against your airline / manufacturer manuals. With that said, if you spot any obvious errors then please let me know the question number and I'll aim to put it right!

Q152 You suffer a communications failure in IMC and are uncertain of regaining VMC anytime soon. According to the Pink Pages you must:

Squawk 7600 and continue to fly the published flight plan.

Squawk 7600 and turn back to last location VMC conditions were known.

Squawk 7600 and enter an en-route hold.

Squawk 7600, descend out of controlled airspace and land at the nearest suitable aerodrome.

Correct!

Incorrect!

Q146 For a precision approach, an aerodrome must not be listed as an alternate aerodrome unless the weather forecast at the time of submitting the flight plan indicates that, at the estimated time of arrival, the ceiling and visibility at that aerodrome will be at or above the following weather minima:

Ceiling of 400 ft or 100 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.

Ceiling of 200 ft or 50 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.

Ceiling of 800 ft or 200 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.

Ceiling of 600 ft or 200 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.

Correct!

Incorrect!

Q151 You are the pilot of an aircraft following an IFR flight plan. You suffer a communication failure but are able to maintain VMC. As per the pink pages you shall squawk 7600 and:

Continue to your destination maintaining VMC, and make a visual approach.

Continue, controllers will now be aware of your issue and move other aircraft out of your way.

Continue in VMC, land at the nearest suitable airfield and inform ATS via the most expeditious route.

Incorrect!

Q123 What formula can be used to calculate a rate of climb appropriate to a departure procedure:

VSI * 60

Gradient Percentage x Groundspeed x 1.013

Groundspeed x 5

Q122 When and by how much are pilots allowed to deviate from the centreline of an RNP route?

Always, but by no more than 1/2 scale deflection.

Anytime and by any amount they wish.

Only by ATC or under emergency conditions.

Never.

Correct!

Incorrect!

Q148 According to CAR Part 91 Subpart E, a pilot of a non-turbine aircraft must ensure there is adequate fuel to complete the flight (with or without an alternate) and then:

fly for 60 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

fly for 15 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

fly for 45 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

fly for 30 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

Correct!

Incorrect!

Q120 When may ATC clear you for descent via an instrument procedure - without visual reference?
