KINGS SCHOOL INSTRUMENT EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Minimum Reception Altitude - ANSWER-MRA
Flag with R
Lowest altitude off airway signal received
Do not apply if you have an IFR certified GPS
Class G uncontrolled - ANSWER-Gray/beige area on low altitude en route chart
ATC does not control air traffic
Controlled airspace - ANSWER-White areas on low altitude en route chart
Transition Area - ANSWER-Class E airspace
Upward from 700 ft AGL to the base of the overlying controlled airspace
In conjunction with an airport that has an IFR approach
Green - ANSWER-Airport has an instrument approach
Blue - ANSWER-Airport has instrument approach procedures
Has approach minimums published by DOD
Brown - ANSWER-Airport has no approach procedures
Airways - ANSWER-Class E starting at 1,200 AGL unless given a customized floor
of different altitude
Air Route Traffic Control Center - ANSWER-ARTCC
Shown on en route chart
Boundary shown with blue jagged line
Given frequency change before crossing over
Flight Information Service - Broadcast - ANSWER-FIS-B
weather info from ADS-B in
METARs
TAFs
PIREPs
NOTAMs
Also receive graphic displays of
AIRMETs
SIGMETs
Convective SIGMETs
NEXRAD
Special Use Airspace
TFRs
, Remote Communications Outlet - ANSWER-RCO
Flight Service Stations
On en route charts: Dot with circle
Some serve 2 FSS
Black circle with white H - ANSWER-HIWAS on en route chart
Broadcast over selected VOR and VORTAC frequency
VOR - ANSWER-Ground based
Signals are line of sight
FROM: Radial
TO: Bearing
Types:
High Altitude (1,000-14,500 ft: 40nm)
Low Altitude (1,000-18,000 ft: 40nm)
Terminal (1,000-12,000 ft: 25nm)
Look in chart supplement
Standard Service Volume - ANSWER-SSV
Defines the volume of airspace a VOR serves
High Altitude (1,000-14,500 ft: 40nm)
Low Altitude (1,000-18,000 ft: 40nm)
Terminal (1,000-12,000 ft: 25nm)
Departure Procedures - ANSWER-DP
ODP - Obstacle Departure Procedures
SID - Standard Instrument Departures
Textual and graphic
Obstacle Departure Procedures - ANSWER-Found in US Terminal Procedures
Publication
faa.gov
foreflight
Textual: Takeoff mins, ODPS, and Diverse vector area
Graphical: right after approach procedures
Clear end of runway by 35' and climb 200 ft per minute to 400'
Provide:
obstacle clearance on least restrictive route
May be flown even if not assigned by ATC
Should be flown unless ATC assigns different procedure or radar vectors
Standard Instrument Departures - ANSWER-SID
Always published in graphical form with textual explanation
Obstacle clearance
Reduces workload for pilots and ATC
Reduces radio frequency congestion
ATC clearance REQUIRED
Simplifies Clearance
Must meet climb requirements - have the charted procedure
To Not Use: Enter NO SID in remarks section of flight plan
