AVIT 222 Oral (Answered) 222 Q&A,
100% Verified Solution. 2025/2026.
Logging Instrument Time (61.51)
A person may log instrument time only for that flight time when the person operates the aircraft
solely by reference to instruments under actual or simulated instrument flight conditions.
An authorized instructor may log instrument time when conducting instrument flight instruction in
actual instrument flight conditions.
How must instrument time be logged in a logbook?
- Location & type of each approach
- Name of safety pilot
IFR Recency of Experience (6 HITS)
- 6 IAPs
- Holding procedures/tasks
- Intercepting and tracking NAVAIDS
- Can be completed in FFS, ATD, or FTD
What if you're not current after 6 calendar months?
You can still complete these tasks with a safety pilot who:
- has at least a PPL
- Adequate forward/side vision
- Dual control system with easy access
What if you're not current after 12 calendar months?
- Pilot will need an IPC with a CFII, examiner, or other approved pilot
- ACS guidelines
- Some IPC tasks can be completed in FTD or ATD but not all
Carrying Passengers IFR as PIC
- 3 Takeoffs and landings in category, class, and type (if req.) in last 90 days
- Periods between 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise with full stop landings
What is needed to act as PIC?
Flight review within past 24 calendar months
Documents Required for the PIC
- Pilot certificate
- Medical Cert
- Authorized Photo ID
- RROP for flight outside US
ARROWGS
,- Airworthiness Cert
- Registration Cert
- Radio Station License
- Operators handbook
- Weight and balance data
- G1000 Operator manual
- Standby Manual
AVIATE
- Annual inspection
- VOR check (if IFR) every 30 days
- 100 hour (for hire)
- Altimeter/pitot static (for IFR in Controlled airspace) 24 calendar months
- Transponder every 24 calendar months
- ELT every 12 calendar months, 1 hour of use, or 50% of battery life

Takeoff/Landing Distances
No pilot may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft under IFR in controlled airspace until...
- Filed an IFR flight
- Received clearance from ATC
- File at least 30 min prior to est. departure
- Non-scheduled flights above FL230 should be filed at least 4 hrs prior
IFR Fuel Requirements
91.167
Fuel from departure airport to destination + fuel to alternate (if required) + 45 mins of fuel at normal
cruising speed
IFR Alternate "1-2-3"
1 hour before to 1 hour after your ETA (at the listed destination), the ceiling will be at least 2,000 ′
AGL, and the visibility will be at least 3 SM
Weather Minimums for IFR Alternate
Precision: 600 ft and 2 SM
Non-Precision: 800 ft and 2 SM
IFR cruise altitudes
, East 0-179: odd thousands
West 180-360: even thousands
IFR Takeoff Minimums
■ Prescribed T/O minimums for the runway, or, if none: ■ 1-2 engines airplanes: 1 SM visibility ■
More than 2 engines: ½ SM visibility

IFR Departure Clearance
C.R.A.F.T
-Clearance Limit
-Route
-Altitude
-Frequency
-Transponder code
Clearance Void Time
Used by ATC, the time at which the departure clearance is automatically canceled if takeoff has not
been made. The pilot must obtain a new clearance or cancel the IFR flight plan if not off by the
specified time. Must notify ATC within 30 minutes
Hold for Release
"Hold for release" - You may not takeoff until being released for IFR
departure
Expect Departure Clearance Time (EDCT)
A runway release time given under traffic management programs in busy airports. Aircraft are
expected to depart no earlier and no later than 5 minutes from the EDCT.
Abbreviated Departure Clearance
Abbreviated departure clearance = "Cleared (...) as filed (...)"
Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR)
-serves as a transition from the enroute structure to a point where an approach begins
- usually named for the fix where the basic procedure begins
- can file NO STAR if you don't want to use them
Departure Procedures (DP)
-textual or graphical
-ensures obstacle clearance
-cross DER at least 35 AGL
-reach 400 AGL prior to turn
