To meet the minimum instrument experience requirements, within the last 6 calendar months you need to have flown

six hours in the same category aircraft, and at least 3 of the 6 hours in actual IFR conditions.

six instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting and tracking courses in the appropriate category of aircraft.

six hours in the same category aircraft.

Correct! Wrong!

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 followed by 6 hours and six instrument approaches, 3 of those hours in the category of aircraft involved.

completes the required 6 hours and six approaches, followed by an instrument proficiency check given by an FAA-designated examiner.

passes an instrument proficiency check given by an instrument instructor.

Correct! Wrong!

The en route weather is IMC. However, during the descent on an ILS approach, you encounter VMC prior to reaching the initial approach fix. To log the approach toward instrument currency

the flight must remain on an IFR flight plan throughout the approach and landing.

the ILS approach can be credited regardless of actual weather if you are issued an IFR clearance.

the ILS approach can be credited only if you use a view-limiting device.

Correct! Wrong!

Under which of the following conditions must a pilot have at least an instrument rating?

For any flight above an altitude of 1,200 feet AGL, when the visibility is less than 3 miles.

For a flight in VFR conditions while on an IFR flight plan.

When operating in class E airspace.

Correct! Wrong!

When is an IFR clearance required during VFR weather conditions?

When operating in a Class A airspace.

When operating in the Class E airspace.

When operating in airspace above 14,500 feet.

Correct! Wrong!

What minimum conditions must exist at the destination airport to avoid listing an alternate airport on an IFR flight plan when a standard IAP is available?

From 1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA, forecast ceiling 2,000, and visibility 3 miles.

From 2 hours before to 2 hours after ETA, forecast ceiling 2,000, and visibility 2 and 1/2 miles.

From 2 hours before to 2 hours after ETA, forecast ceiling 3,000, and visibility 3 miles.

Correct! Wrong!

Which procedure should you follow if, during an IFR flight in VFR conditions, you have two way radio communications failure?

Continue the flight at assigned altitude and route, start approach at your ETA, or, if late, start approach upon arrival.

Land at the nearest airport that has VFR conditions.

Continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable.

Correct! Wrong!

An airport without an authorized instrument approach procedure may be included as the alternate on an IFR flight plan if the forecast indicates that the ceiling and visibility at the ETA will

be at least 1,000 feet and 1 mile.

allow for a descent from the MEA, approach, and a landing under basic VFR conditions.

allow for descent from the IAF to landing under basic VFR conditions.

Correct! Wrong!

The fuel requirements for flight in IFR conditions states that you must have enough fuel to fly to destination, your alternate, and have a reserve of:

15 minutes.

30 minutes.

45 minutes.

Correct! Wrong!

If a pilot chooses to fly to the selected alternate, the landing minimums used at that airport should be the

alternate minimums shown on the approach chart.

minimums specified for the approach procedure selected.

minimums shown for that airport in a separate listing of 'IFR Alternate Minimums.

Correct! Wrong!
