IFR INRAT Practice Questions with Answers What is RVR? ✅Runway Visual Range When is RVR included? ✅RVR is included if the visibility is 1 SM or less, and/or RVR is 6000ft or less. In reference to icing what is a low catch rate/ slow rate of catch? What type of ice is associated with it? ✅Less chance of ice due to smaller water droplets Associated with Rime Icing In reference to icing what is a High Rate of Catch? What type of ice is associated with it? ✅Higher chance of ice due to large droplets Associated with clear ice Rime Ice ✅Rough, milky, opaque ice formed by the instantaneous freezing of small supercooled water droplets. Clear Ice ✅Transparent/translucent coating of ice which has a glassy surface appearance, builds rapidly; large super -cooled water droplets What conditions are necessary for the formation if a Thunderstorm? ✅- A lifting agent to set the air in motion - High Relative Air Mass (moist air mass) - Steep Lapse Rate (instability) How far does the gust front of a thunderstorm stretch? ✅10 NM What are the GPS RAIM limits en -route, terminal, and approach modes? ✅2: en -route 1: Terminal 0.3: Approach A VORTAC gives you what information ✅Radial Information for the VOR and DME for the TACAN NDB systems must be accurate between _______ for an approach and _______ en -
route ✅+- 5 for and approach +- 10 en -route When using a TAF to determine alternate minima BCMG, TEMPO, PROB 30 must meet the following: ✅BCMG - Alternate Minima TEMPO - Alternate Minima PROB 30 - Landing Minima An approach to the DA/MDA to a runway that has a RVR transmissionmeter would not be authorized when? ✅RVR A is unservicable and RVR B is below 1200 What type of icing would you find in convective cloud? ✅Clear Ice; temperature 0 to -

The pilot may apply GPS stand alone or GPS overlay approach minima when determining the weather minima for the selection of an alternate airport ✅B. It is recommended but not necessary to monitor underlying navaid during an overlay approach C. It is possible to conduct an overlay approach when an underlying navaid is out of service You are flying an approach and before reaching the FAF the ground visibility deteriorates. When must you carry out a missed approach? ✅RVR A 600, RVR B 1200 What statement is true with regard to contact approaches? A. It is pilot initiated, and the airport must be in sight. B. It is pilot initiated and the ground must be in sight C. It requires a minimum of 1SM D. ATC can initiate the approach ✅B. It is pilot initiated and the ground must be in sight Afor alternate minima based on GFA what do you add to your minima ✅1000 feet NDB systems must be accurate within _______ for an approach and ______ for en -
route navigation ✅+- 5 degrees; +- 10 degrees
