CFII Checkride Oral Exam-(Preparation
For The CFII Oral Portion Of Your
Instrument Rating Checkride) With
Complete Solutions
When do you NOT do a procedure turn? - ANSWER-S- straight in
H- hold on lieu of PT
A- Arc
R- Radar Vectors
P- NoPT
T- Timed approach from a hold fix
T- teardrop course reversal
What types of icing should you look out for? - ANSWER-Structural
Induction
Instrument
What two conditions must be present for structural ice to form? - ANSWER-1. Visible
moisture
2. Aircraft surface temperature below freezing
What are the three kinds of structural icing & how do they form? - ANSWER-1. Clear
(most dangerous) - forms when large supercooled drops freeze slowly, -10° to 0° C,
smooth
2. Rime - forms when small supercooled drops freeze quickly, -10°C to -20°C, rough &
opaque
3. Mixed - clear & rime form simultaneously
Types of fog & how they form - ANSWER--Advection: wind pushes warm, moist air over
colder land/water.
-Radiation: calm, clear nights when ground cools rapidly releasing ground radiation
-Upslope: Moist, stable air being cooled as it's blown upslope.
-Steam: cold, dry air moves over relatively warm water.
If you loose coms what do you do? - ANSWER-Trouble shoot first - stay predictable
legally you fly to your clearance limit but can implement 91.3 for emergency

What is RAIM? - ANSWER-Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring is a self
monitoring system used to verify the usability of the received GPS signals and warns
the pilot of any malfunction in the navigation system. 4 satellite needed for 3D, 5 for
fault detection, 6 for fault exclusion.

What are the 3 components of an ILS System? - ANSWER-1. Guidance (localizer, glide
slope)
2. Range (marker beacons, DME)
3. Visual (approach lights, touchdown & centerline lights, runway)
What inspections are required for IFR? - ANSWER-AVIATES
A Airworthiness Directives
V VOR check every 30 days
I Inspections - progressive inspection
A Altimeter - 24 months
