IFR 50 practice test questions
When making an airborne VOR check, what is the maximum allowable tolerance
between the two indicators of a dual VOR system (units independent of each
other except the antenna)? - Correct Answer ✔️✔️4° between the two
indicated bearings of a VOR.
When checking the sensitivity of a VOR receiver, the number of degrees in course
change as the OBS is rotated to move the CDI from center to the last dot on either
side should be between - Correct Answer ✔️✔️10° and 12°.
A pilot's recent IFR experience expires on July 1 of this year. What is the latest
date the pilot can meet the IFR experience requirement without having to take an
instrument proficiency check? - Correct Answer ✔️✔️December 31, this
year.
What minimum weather conditions must be forecast for your ETA at an alternate
airport, that has only a VOR approach with standard alternate minimums, for the
airport to be listed as an alternate on the IFR flight plan? - Correct Answer ✔️
✔️800-foot ceiling and 2 statute miles visibility.
, The middle and far bars of a 3-bar VASI will - Correct Answer ✔️✔
️constitute a 2-bar VASI for using the upper glidepath.
The altitude that provides acceptable navigational signal coverage for the route,
and meets obstacle clearance requirements, is the minimum: - Correct Answer
✔️✔️enroute altitude.
Refer to Figure 213.) Which aircraft approach category should be used for a
circling approach for a landing on RWY 28R, with an aircraft Vso of 72 knots? -
Correct Answer ✔️✔️B.
After being handed off to the final approach controller during a 'no-gyro'
surveillance or precision approach, the pilot should make all turns - Correct
Answer ✔️✔️one-half standard rate.
Which procedure should be followed by a pilot who is circling to land in a
Category B airplane, but is maintaining a speed 5 knots faster than the maximum
specified for that category? - Correct Answer ✔️✔️Use the approach
minimums appropriate for Category C.
