IFT Checkride UPDATED Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers
What are the weights on the vertical stab and the wings near the ailerons? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Counterweights to prevent violent aerdynamic buffetting
When are the four times you are required to go below 200 knots - CORRECT ANSWER -
1. At or below 2500' AGL within 4 NM of Class C or D, 2. Airspace under Class B designated
for an airport or in a VFR corridor through the Class B
What does the turn coordinator run on? - CORRECT ANSWER - Electric
What instruments are vacuum operated? - CORRECT ANSWER - Heading and Attitude
What instrument is the Pitot port associated with? - CORRECT ANSWER - Airspeed
What are the dimensions of the Pueblo Class D airspace? - CORRECT ANSWER - SFC-
2500' AGL (7200 MSL). Just over 5 NM, within 4NM you must be slowed down to 200 knots
Minimum Safe Altitudes - CORRECT ANSWER - Anywhere: any altitude if the power
unit fails that you cannot safely avoid a EL causing harm to ppl on surface, Congested Areas:
1000 ft above highest obstacle withn 2000 ft horizontal seperation from the aircraft, Other than
Congested: 500 ft above the SFC- except water or sparsley populated areas, then 500 ft from
person, vessel, vehicle or structure
Prohibited Area - CORRECT ANSWER - depicted on charts and published in the Federal
register, aircraft must never go here
Restricted Ares - CORRECT ANSWER - denote usual, often invisible hazards to aircraft
like artillery or guided missiles. depicted on charts and in Federal register
, MOA - CORRECT ANSWER - specific boundaries laterally and horizontally, seperates
IFR from military training, no restrictions against operating in it but extreme caution should be
used. not in federal register but on charts
MTR - CORRECT ANSWER - Prefixed with either IR or VR, four digits after= below
1500 feet above AGL, three digits after= at least one leg above 1500' AGL
Pilotage - CORRECT ANSWER - navigate from point to point using a chart and pilots
ability to identify ground references
Dead Reckoning - CORRECT ANSWER - Navigate from point to point using a calculated
heading, airspeed, altitude and elapsed time
Basic Radar Service includeds - CORRECT ANSWER - Traffic deconfliction/advisories,
WX and NOTAMS, status of MOAs, you will always get this service in class B otherwise you
have to request flight following, ATC calls out positions based on your ground track and
numerical clock
Techniques for identificaiton on the DR route - CORRECT ANSWER - Big to small,
funneling features, course corrections and timing corrections
Types of NAVAIDS - CORRECT ANSWER - GPS, VOR, Mag compass
Federal Airways - CORRECT ANSWER - extend from 1200' AGL to 17,999MSL, 8NM
miles wide (4NM on each side from the center), these are known as Victor airways
Windshear - CORRECT ANSWER - sudden,drastic change in wind speed and/or direction
over a very small area. Violent updrafts/downdrafts, can occur at any altitude, wind changes of
180 degrees and speed changes of 50 knots or more, passing frontal systems, thunderstorms and
inversions
