293 Oral Exam Review (Gamma / Wheels
Up)
Define "Time in Service"
From the moment the aircraft leaves the ground until it touches down.
Define "Flight Time"
From the moment the aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight, until
it comes to rest after.
Define "Overwater" & "Extended Overwater"
Overwater: Beyond gliding distance from shore (personal flotation devices required)
Extended Overwater: More than 50 nm from shore (raft/survival equipment required for
135)
Define "MEA"
Minimum Enroute Altitude - minimum altitude between fixes that ensures obstruction
clearance and nav signal coverage (1,000 ft non-mountainous, 2,000 ft mountainous)
Define "MOCA"
Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude - minimum altitude that ensures obstruction
clearance AND nav signal within 22 nm of a VOR
Define "MRA"
Minimum Reception Altitude - minimum altitude between fixes that ensures nav signal
Define "MORA/OROCA"
Minimum Off Route Altitude / Off Route Obstruction Clearance Altitude - minimum
altitude within 10 nm of airways that ensures obstruction clearance

Authority to initiate, change, or terminate a flight
What is the duration of your medical per FAR 61.23? When is it due per the company
and where do you send it?
Under 40 - Valid for 12 months
40 or older - Valid for 6 months (First EKG at 35)
Due by 20th day of due month. Send to training department.
How long does FAR 61.17 say temporary certificates are valid for?
120 days
According to FAR 61.55(b) what are SIC qualifications regarding landings required,
demonstrated ability, and additional training?
- 3 TO/LDG to full stop in 12 months
- CRM training
- Engine out procedures & maneuvering while executing PIC duties
- Become familiar with POH/AFM normal, abnormal, & emergency procedures
How many takeoffs & landings are required under FAR 61.57 for PIC currency? What is
required for night currency?
, 3 TO/LDG within 90 days. For night currency, need to be to a full stop between 1 hour
after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise.
How often are PIC proficiency checks due according to FAR 61.58? What are some
multiple aircraft considerations?
Every 12 months, but this only applies to aircraft that require more than one crew
member. BE-300 does not fall under this since it is single pilot certified.
According to FAR 91.117, what are aircraft speed limitations in, under, and around class
B, C, D? And above/below 10,000' MSL?
Below 10,000' MSL - 250 KIAS max
Below 2,500' AGL within 4 nm of Class C or D primary airport - 200 KIAS max
Under Class B or in VFR corridor through Class B - 200 KIAS max
FAA Order 7130.3A establishes maximum airspeeds that holding patterns are based
upon. What are these maximum holding speeds?
6,000' & below - 200 KIAS
6,000 - 14,000 - 230 KIAS
Above 14,000 - 265 KIAS
Describe minimum fuel requirements for IFR under FAR 91.167.
Enough fuel to reach destination, then to alternate (if required) and for 45 minutes
thereafter.
How often does FAR 91.171 require VOR equipment checks to be accomplished? What
are the types of checks and tolerances for each of them?
Checked within preceding 30 days.
Dual VOR - 4 degrees
VOT - 4 degrees (180 TO, 360 FROM)
Ground test point - 4 degrees
Airborne Checkpoint - 6 degrees
What are the pilot requirements for supplemental oxygen under FAR 91.211?
Between 12,500 - 14,000 oxygen required after 30 minutes.
Above 14,000 - Must use O2 entire time
For pressurized aircraft, above FL350 one pilot must use O2 or wear quick-donning
mask.
What are the passenger requirements for supplemental oxygen under FAR 91.211?
Above 15,000 each occupant must be provided with supplemental oxygen
For pressurized aircraft, above FL250 must have 10 minutes of oxygen for each
passenger.
What are FAR 135.89 oxygen requirements for unpressurized aircraft?
Above 10,000 to 12,000 - O2 after 30 minutes.
Above 12,000 - O2 at all times
What are FAR 135.89 oxygen requirements for pressurized aircraft? (with and without
quick-donning mask)
Same as unpressurized when cabin pressure above 10,000 MSL.
With QD mask - Above FL250: if one pilot leaves station, the other must use oxygen.
Above FL350 one pilot must use O2 at all times.
