  1. 201.A pilot is planning an IFR flight to an airport with a published RNAV (GPS) approach. The pilot notes that the approach plate has a 'NA' (Not Authorized) symbol in the notes section for alternate airport planning. What does this symbol specifically mean for this airport?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  2. 202.A pilot is flying an RNAV (GPS) approach with LNAV minimums where a procedure turn is depicted. The pilot receives an ATC clearance: 'Cleared direct to the FAF, maintain 3,000 feet until established, cleared RNAV (GPS) Runway 18 approach.' There is no 'NoPT' symbol on the chart. What is the correct action regarding the procedure turn?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  3. 203.A pilot is conducting an ILS approach and notices that the approach plate depicts an 'A' in a black triangle in the notes section. What does this symbol indicate regarding the use of this airport as an alternate?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  4. 204.A pilot is flying an RNAV (GPS) approach. The approach chart indicates a straight-in LNAV minimums line and a circling minimums line. To consider the approach a straight-in approach for landing purposes, the final approach course must not exceed what angle with the runway centerline?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  5. 205.A pilot is conducting a circling approach to Runway 27 at an airport with a published circling MDA of 700 feet MSL. The airport elevation is 150 feet MSL. In which approach category would an aircraft with a maximum certificated landing weight of 12,500 lbs and a 1.3 Vso of 105 knots be classified for the purpose of applying circling minimums?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  6. 206.An instrument student is practicing an ILS approach. During the approach, ATC issues a clearance to 'Maintain 3,000 feet until established on the localizer, cleared ILS Runway 27 approach.' The published glideslope intercept altitude is 2,000 feet MSL. What is the appropriate action for the student and instructor?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  7. 207.A pilot is conducting a nonprecision approach to an airport without an operating control tower. The final approach segment begins at the FAF, 5 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The MDA is 800 feet AGL. The aircraft's groundspeed is 100 knots. What is the approximate minimum time required from the FAF to the MDA, assuming a descent rate of 500 feet per minute?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  8. 208.A pilot is planning an instrument flight to an airport where the only available instrument approach is an RNAV (GPS) approach. The pilot checks the NOTAMs and finds that the WAAS signal is unreliable for the estimated time of arrival. What impact does this have on the approach capability?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  9. 209.During an ILS approach, a pilot experiences a glideslope receiver failure before reaching the final approach fix (FAF). The approach plate shows LNAV minimums available. What is the most appropriate action for the pilot?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  10. 210.An instrument student is practicing an ILS approach. During the approach, ATC issues a clearance, "Cleared ILS Runway 27 approach." What does this clearance authorize the pilot to do?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  11. 211.An instrument student is practicing an RNAV (GPS) approach. The approach plate shows a 'Terminal Arrival Area' (TAA) with a 'NoPT' (No Procedure Turn) segment from the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) to the Final Approach Course (FAC). What does the 'NoPT' notation specifically indicate in this context?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  12. 212.An instrument pilot is flying an RNAV (GPS) approach with LNAV minimums. The approach chart indicates a 'VDP' (Visual Descent Point) at 0.5 NM from the runway threshold. If the pilot is at the MDA and does not have the runway environment in sight at the VDP, what is the appropriate action?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  13. 213.A pilot is flying an ILS approach to Runway 36. The approach plate indicates that the ILS frequency for Runway 36 is 110.3 MHz, and the associated DME is collocated with the localizer. What frequency should the pilot tune to receive DME information for this approach?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  14. 214.A pilot is flying an RNAV (GPS) approach with LNAV/VNAV minimums. The aircraft is equipped with a WAAS-capable GPS receiver. As the aircraft approaches the final approach segment, the display indicates 'LNAV+V'. What does this indication signify?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  15. 215.A pilot is conducting an instrument approach to an airport without an operating control tower. The approach plate specifies a final approach fix (FAF) 5 NM from the runway threshold and a published glide path angle of 3.0 degrees. If the aircraft's groundspeed is 120 knots, what descent rate (FPM) should the pilot maintain to stay on the glide path?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  16. 216.A pilot is performing a VOR receiver accuracy check using a VOR test facility (VOT). The aircraft's CDI indicates a 10-degree deflection to the left with a 'TO' indication when tuned to the VOT frequency. What is the status of the VOR receiver?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  17. 217.An instrument student is practicing an RNAV (GPS) approach. The approach plate shows a 'Terminal Arrival Area' (TAA) surrounding the airport. What is the primary purpose of a TAA?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  18. 218.A CFII is explaining to a student the different types of weather advisories. Which of the following advisories specifically warns pilots about widespread areas of IFR conditions or moderate icing?Weather
  19. 219.A pilot is planning an instrument flight to an airport that has a published RNAV (GPS) approach. The approach plate shows a 'NA' symbol in a black triangle for alternate airport consideration. What does this symbol indicate?IFR Procedures and Approaches
  20. 220.A pilot is conducting an instrument approach to an airport where the published approach procedure has a final approach course that is not aligned with the runway centerline. To be considered a straight-in landing, what is the maximum permissible angle between the final approach course and the runway centerline?IFR Procedures and Approaches
