An instrument rating is valid for: - Answer- 24 months.
Flight Test:
- An instrument rating is valid for 24 months from the flight test date.
12 Months Later:
- 12 months following a flight test, the 6 month rule becomes active.
6 Months Later (18 Months):
- Within 6 months, a pilot must log at least 6 hours of instrument time and complete 6
instrument approaches to CAP minimums (6/6/6 rule)
- Every six months thereafter, the pilot must complete the 6/6/6 rule as noted above.
, How many light units does an AV type VASIS consist of and what indication would be
displayed if the correct slope was followed? - Answer- It has two lights stacked
vertically.
On approach slope:
Top light = red
Bottom light = white
Following the on-slope signal of a VASIS lighting system, obstacle protection is
guaranteed to a minimum of ___ degrees on either side of the runway center line.
a) 3 degrees
b) 5 degrees
c) 6 degrees
d) 9 degrees - Answer- c) 6 degrees
What is the maximum eye-to-wheel height for an aircraft to rely on a V2 VASIS? -
Answer- 0ft ft < EWH < 25ft (7.5m)
VASIS EWH:
AV: 0ft < EWH < 10ft (3m)
V1: 0ft < EWH < 10ft (3m)
V2: 0ft < EWH < 25 ft (7.5m)
Eye to Wheel Height: This is the vertical distance from the pilots eyes to the lowest
portion of the aircraft in the landing configuration.
What is eye-to-wheel height (EWH)? - Answer- Eye to Wheel Height: This is the vertical
distance from the pilots eyes to the lowest portion of the aircraft in the landing
configuration.
It provides a safe wheel clearance over the threshold when the pilot is receiving on-
slope indication.
Following the on-slope signal of a VASIS lighting system, obstacle protection is
guaranteed to a minimum of ___ degrees on either side of the runway centreline out to
___ NM from the runway threshold. - Answer- 6-9 degrees on either side of the
extended runway centreline out to 4.1NM from the runway threshold.
