Instrument Refresher Course (IRC)[A] Control instruments: - answer Display attitude and power & Are calibrated to
permit definite adjustments to attitude and (or) power.
[A] Performance instruments: - answer Indicate the results of pilot control input.
[A] Pilots or other crewmembers who can modify the cockpit display configuration must
ensure primary flight instrumentation is always present. Primary flight instrumentation
must provide: - answer An immediately discernible attitude recognition capability and
an unusual attitude recovery capability; Full-time attitude, altitude and airspeed
information; Complete fault indications.
[A] Which statement concerning unusual attitudes is correct? - answer Prior to
initiating unusual attitude recovery on the attitude indicator, verify that an unusual
attitude exists.
[A] The TO-FROM indicator on the course indicator: - answer Is not affected by the
aircraft heading.
[A] You are inbound on the back course of a localizer approach. The published inbound
front course is 030° (figure 6). To intercept course (no wind), you should: - answer
Turn right.
[A] If there is a malfunction of the compass system or compass card, the VOR or
TACAN bearing pointers: - answer must be considered unreliable until verified.
[A] You have selected VOR or TACAN and have the indications shown in figure 1. What
is your position in figure 2? - answer Position 8.
[A] You have selected VOR or TACAN and have the indications shown in figure 3. What
is your position in figure 2? - answer Position 9.
[A] In figure 4, your position is: - answer NE of the VORTAC, heading 360°.
[A] The published ILS front course is 300°. Using figure 5, which statement is correct? -
answer Your aircraft is heading 255° and headed toward the localizer course.
[A] Using information provided in figure 5 to complete a course intercept, which of the
following is/are true? - answer A lead-point must be calculated to complete the
intercept; This intercept heading will take the aircraft toward the NAVAID; & The aircraft
is on a 45o intercept to the desired course.
,[A] Using figure 7, in which direction and to what heading should you turn to intercept
the 180° radial inbound in a no-wind situation? - answer Right turn to a heading of
300°.
[A] Using the cockpit indications shown in figure 8, you want to intercept the 300°
magnetic course outbound from the selected NAVAID. You should: - answer
maintain your present heading.
[A] VOR and VOR/ DME station passage occurs: - answer when the TO-FROM
indicator makes the first positive change to FROM.
[A] Which statement is correct concerning station passage? - answer With VOR and
VOR/DME, station passage occurs when the TO-FROM indicator makes the first
positive change to FROM, AND With TACAN, station passage is determined when the
range indicator stops decreasing.
[A] Your aircraft is positioned relative to the Boomer TACAN as indicated in figure 9.
You are cleared direct to the 35 mile DME fix, Boomer TACAN 090° radial. Your initial
no-wind heading should be: - answer 120°.
[A] Required Navigation Performance Type (RNP Type) is a value stating the actual
position of the aircraft for at least 95 percent of the total flying time from the intended
position of that aircraft. This must remain within value is typically expressed in: - answer
nautical miles.
[A] After setting the reported altimeter setting, the maximum error allowed when
comparing the indicated altitude to the elevation of a known ground checkpoint is: -
answer 75 feet.
[A] Cold weather altimeter corrections are designed to adjust published instrument
approach procedure altitudes to ensure adequate obstacle clearance. This adjustment
becomes important in temperatures lower than standard since: - answer the aircraft's
altitude is below the figure indicated by the altimeter.
[A] MAJCOMs allowing aircraft to fly an instrument approach procedure using a lower
category must publish procedures to ensure that aircraft do not exceed
_______________________. - answer TERPS airspace for the IAP being flown to
include circling and missed approach.
[A] An aircraft can fly an IAP: - answer only for its own category or higher unless
authorized by MAJCOM directives.
[A] You are on radar vectors to the ILS shown in figure 39. Your TACAN fails, but your
VOR is still operating normally. Which of the following statements is correct? - answer
, Alternate missed approach instructions are needed prior to accepting clearance for the
approach.
[A] The NAVAIDs which appear in the name of an IAP: - answer are those that
provide the final approach guidance.
[A] If an IAF is displayed on an IAP by name only (no defining NAVAID and radial/DME):
- answer refer to the appropriate enroute and terminal charts for the area for this
information.
[A] The Minimum Safe Altitude depicted in figure 10 provides altitude clearance based
on being within 25 NM of which NAVAID? - answer BARKSDALE TACAN.
[A] If you are required to fly a circling approach which does not have a published ceiling,
you can determine the required ceiling using which of the following methods: - answer
add 100 feet to the HAA and then round up to the next one hundred foot value.
[A] You are planning to fly into MacDill AFB, Florida. You are filing Lakeland Linder
Regional airport shown in figure 40 as your alternate. Which of the following statements
is correct? - answer You may not plan on using any of the approaches listed to
qualify the airfield as your alternate if the control tower would be closed during your
arrival time.
[A] The maximum allowable CDI error when checking the VOR or TACAN at a
designated ground checkpoint is: - answer ± 4°.
[A] When checking the TACAN at a designated ground checkpoint, the allowable error
is: - answer 1/2 mile or 3 percent of the distance to the facility, whichever is greater;
OR ± 4°.
[A] If the aircraft is equipped with dual VOR or dual TACAN receivers, the systems are
considered reliable: - answer if each checks within ± 4° of the designated ground
checkpoint; AND if they check within ± 4° of each other.
[A] Which of the following statements concerning IFR departure procedures is/are
correct? - answer USAF aircraft are authorized to use non-standard takeoff weather
minimums to "see-and-avoid" obstacles only if specific MAJCOM authorization exists; &
USAF aircraft are not authorized to create their own "see-and-avoid" weather minimums
in lieu of meeting the required minimum climb gradient.
[A] TERPS specialists are not allowed to publish climb gradients to heights of 200 feet
or less. Which of the following statements is/are true regarding these low, close-in
obstacles? - answer TERPS specialists will publish a NOTE informing you of the
height and obstacle location; & You must ensure you can clear any obstacles published
in this type of NOTE.
