Instrument Exams
Studying both for the FAA/IR and a UK IMC rating. The UK IMC give a
good clue to what it is. It allows flying in IMC but with limited IFR privileges. Essentially it is a get home safe rating. UK weather is so unpredicable that it is feasable to get caught out easily even with the most thorough of planning. Enough of that. Been doing test papers for the respective knowledge tests. The FAA questions are quite straight forward and I am doing good. Getting 75% right but will go for the test when I consistantly get 85+%. The IMC is a whole other ballgame where the theory can be a little bit too much. The passmark is 72%. Here is a fantastic question. No prizes for getting the right answer (with explaination) but anyone fancy a go? Given the following: Ground speed 90kts aircraft altitute 6000ft VOR transmitter at mean sea level Tan 40° = 0.839 assume 6000ft = 1nm Theoretically, for approximately how many seconds would you expect the morse identifier to be inaudible within the cone of silence if the aircraft is tracking directly TO the VOR followed by its reciprical directly away FROM the VOR? A - 7 seconds B - 20 seconds C - 67 seconds D - 100 seconds |
