When conducted in actual IMC the aircraft must transition from IMC to VMC on the final approach
segment
Is a pilot required to fly the entire approach procedure in order to log it for currency? (FAA InFO 15012) -
correct answer ✔✔Must be radar vectored to FAF by ATC or fly entire approach from IAF
What is the Pave Checklist? - correct answer ✔✔Pilot- illness, medication, stress, alcohol, fatigue,
