regs study 19oct

10 centrifugal force experienced as rising or falling (seems like vertical movement; NOT motion reversal)

Coriolus illusion: sensation of movement about a different axis from the one currently moving about (head snap)

  • tumbling backwards when abruptly going from a climb to level flight
  • nose up (somatogravic) on takeoff

17 IFR equipment

VOR/LOC receiver and DME are only required if that is the primary means of navigation used for this flight

trap

question may ask about nav equipment; transponder is not nav

see above where VOR and DME are NOT required (i.e., GPS is primary)

For IFR flight

the following instruments and equipment are required:

  1. Instruments and equipment specified for VFR flight (and those required for night flight, if applicable).
  2. Two-way radio communications system and navigational equipment appropriate to the ground facilities to be used.
  3. Gyroscopic rate-of-turn indicator (with certain exceptions).
  4. Slip-skid indicator.
  5. Sensitive altimeter adjustable for barometric pressure.
  6. A clock displaying hours, minutes and seconds with a sweep-second pointer or digital presentation.
  7. Generator or alternator of adequate capacity.
  8. Gyroscopic pitch and bank indicator (artificial horizon).
  9. Gyroscopic direction indicator (heading indicator or equivalent).

  • distance measuring equipment and dual VOR receivers are not mandatory for instrument flight, although they may be helpful.

4055, 4043, 4051, 4057

xx IFR currency 61.57(c)(1)

Within the 6 calendar months preceding the month of the flight

trap

If a pilot's IFR currency expires on July 1 of this year, that pilot would have 6 months, or until December 31, this year

i.e., 6 months have already elapsed so pilot has only 6 months to complete requirements

4015, 4015.1

xx CFII logging instrument time

trap

Instrument flight instructors may log as instrument flight time that time during which they act as instrument flight instructor in actual instrument weather conditions.

Class E airway

trap

1200' floor of an airway

700' floor of an airport which has an approved instrument approach procedure (IFR cutout)

AIM 3-2-1

4526

130 VMC weather conditions prior to reaching the initial approach fix

trap

an ILS approach can be credited [towards currency] only under simulated conditions using a view-limiting device

every 30 days

360° FROM (or 180° TO) within 4° (6° if airborne)

PADS

  1. Place
  2. Accuracy (Error)
  3. Date
  4. Signature
67 PIC w/BasicMed and IFR

without holding a medical certificate issued under part 67

  1. the pilot holds a valid U.S. driver's license
  2. meets the requirements of 61.23(c)(3)
  3. complies with this section

61.113(i)

AC 68-1a (2017)

BasicMed does not replace the requirement to hold an instrument rating and be instrument current to act as PIC under IFR.
