NIFE FRR EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
VMC (FAR) - Answer- -conditions expressing in terms of visibility, distance from clouds,
and ceilings equal to or greater than specified minima
IMC (FAR) - Answer- IMC are conditions expressed in terms of visibility distance from
clouds, and ceilings less than the minimum specified for VMC
-look for choice with C for conditions
CNAF-M 3710 defines instrument conditions - Answer- to exist anytime a visible horizon
is not distinguishable
Visual Flight Rules (VFR) - Answer- govern flight under visual meteorological condition
VFR Requirements for use - Answer- -indicate weather conditions equal to or greater
than the minimum VFR Requirements 1,000' AGL/3SM
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) - Answer- govern flight under instrument conditions
IFR Requirements for use - Answer- -less than 1,000ft AGL or less than 3SM or both
-file an IFR flight plan
-need clearance to change speed, heading, altitude
VMC Doctrine - Answer- "See and Avoid" Doctrine
-pilots are responsible for detecting the presence of other a/c and maneuvering as
required for safety of flight
PER CNAF-M-310.8 all aircraft shall request - Answer- radio advisories, when available,
to remain under positive ATC control
VFR Weather Minimums - Answer- At takeoff: Forecasted and existing Basic VFR (1,00'
AGL/3SM)
Enroute: based on classification of airspace
At landing: forecast for ETA +/- 1hr and existing basic VFR
**Weather Conditions precluding VFR Flight - Answer- -alter route to maintain VMC
-stay VMC until an IFR clearance can be obtained
-remain VMC and land at suitable alternate
, CAN NOT FLY IMC FOR VFR FLIGHT
**VFR Flight Planning - Answer- -sufficient usable fuel
-takeoff to destination + 10% of planned fuel required (10% fuel reserve shall be no less
than 20 minutes of flight time)
IFR Conditions - Answer- -unable to provide own visual separation
-separation achieved by strict adherence to IFR and ATC
General Requirements to Fly IFR ** - Answer- Naval Flights shall file and fly IFR flight
plans to the maximum extent practicable to decrease probability of mid air collisions
-Pilot and aircraft need IFR rating
-IFR Flight Plan
-ATC Clearance
TO FLY IFR - Answer- -instrument rated pilot
-instrument rated aircraft
-ATC Clearance (IFR FLIGHT PLAN)
Aerobatic Flight - Answer- any intentional maneuver involving
-abrupt bank angles greater than 60 degrees
-pitch angles greater than +/- 45 degrees
-accelerations greater than 2gs
FAR Aerobatic Flight Restrictions ** - Answer- -over any congested area of a city, town,
or settlement
-over an open-air assembly of persons
-within class B,C, and D airspace
-within class E airspace designated for an airport
-within 4 nautical miles of the centerline of any federal airway
-below an altitude of 1500' AGL
-when flight visibility is less than 3 SM
CNAF Aerobatic Flight Restrictions - Answer- -CNAF relists all of the FAR requirements
to make them apply to NAVAL AIRCRAFT WORLDWIDE
-aerobatic flights must be permitted by the aircraft's NATOPS manual or other directives
-individual commanders may be more restrictive
CNAF unusual manuevers - Answer- -prohibits pilots from performing or requesting
clearance to perform unusual maneuvers within Class B,C, and D airspeed if such
maneuvers are not essential to the performance of the flight
-ATC personnel not permitted to approve
-ex unscheduled fly-bys, climb at very steep angles or any so called "flat hatting"
