Instrument Rating Stage 2 Exam Questions and
Answers Latest Update
Which statement is true regarding range information for the ILS Rwy 5 approach?
✔️✔️MAARY is the FAF for the localizer-only approach and the point which you can expect to
intercept the glide slope at 2,500 ft MSL.
You are performing the ILS Rwy 5 approach. How can you identify DELAY? ✔️✔️Use 13.3 DME
from the localizer I-DWW on 115.5 or determine the point where the DSM 254 radial or the
LMN 357 radial crosses the localizer course.
You are on the 254 radial from Des Moines VORTAC. What actions should you take at the initial
approach fix to fly the course reversal for the ILS Rwy 5 approach? ✔️✔️Use the parallel entry
to enter the holding pattern at DELAY and remain within 5 NM.
You have just completed the holding pattern course reversal and have intercepted the localizer
course of 051, What should you do now to fly the Intermediate and final approach segments of
the ILS Rwy 5 approach? ✔️✔️Descend to 2,500. after you intercept the glide slope at MAARY,
continue to descend on the glide slope to the DA of 1,131 ft MSL.
You reach the DA and do not have the runway environment in sight. What actions should you
take to perform the published missed approach procedure for the ILS Rwy 5 approach?
✔️✔️At 1,131 ft MSL, climb to 1,600 ft MSL, and then perform a climbing right turn to 3,000
feet MSL. Proceed direct to DSM. At DSM, intercept the 254 radial to MIDLE at 12 DME from
DSM and enter the holding pattern.
You are in a category A airplane operating at 90 knots. ATC informs you that the glide slope is
out of service and clears you for the localizer approach to Runway 5. What is true about
, performing this approach procedure at 90 knots? ✔️✔️Descend to an MDA of 1,360 ft MSL.
Upon reaching the DA, perform a missed approach if you do not have the required visual
references in sight.
You are planning to arrive at your destination at 1830Z. The weather forecast for 1800Z at the
airport is for a 1,200 ft ceiling and 3 miles visibility.What is true about including Des Moines Intl
Airport as an alternate airport in your flight plan if you are planning to fly the ILS Rwy 5
approach? ✔️✔️The forecast weather conditions at the estimated time of arrival at the
alternate, plus and minus one hour, must meet or exceed the nonstandard alternate minimums
(Indicated by the A-symbol on the approach chart) found in the Terminal Procedures
Publication.
What is true regarding Runway 5? ✔️✔️The available landing distance is 9,003 ft.
You are planning an IFR cross-country flight and you must include an alternate airport in your
flight plan due to the forecast weather conditions. you plan to fly an RNAV (GPS) approach at
your destination and your GPS equipment does not have WAAS capability. What is true about
the approach equipment requirements in this situation? ✔️✔️You may perform an RNAV
(GPS) approach at your destination and are not required to monitor ground based navigation
equipment. However, an Instrument approach procedure other than GPS must be available at
the alternate airport.
You are cleared for the GPS (RNAV) Rwy 18 approach to Le Mars Municipal Airport. Which is a
correct procedure for flying the initial and intermediate approach segments? ✔️✔️On a
course of 220 to ETNOE, maintain 4,400 ft MSL. At ETNOE, fly a tear drop entry to the holding
pattern to reverse course and descend to 4,000 ft MSL. After intercepting a course of 185 and
passing ETNOE inbound, descend to 3,000 ft MSL.
