Enroute Procedures and Holds Quiz

An aircraft, when operated in accordance with IFR within designated mountainous regions, but outside of areas for which minimum altitudes for IFR operations have been established shall be flown at an altitude of at least . . . . . above the highest obstacle within . . . . . of the aircraft in flight.

When temperatures are significantly lower than ISA, the minimum altitude recommended for IFR flight on airways within designated mountainous regions is

1,000-ft-on-top IFR flight may be conducted provided that the flight

1. is made at least 1,000 ft above all cloud, haze, smoke, or other formation.
2. is made at least 2,000 ft above all cloud, haze, smoke, or other formation.
3. visibility is at least one mile.
4. visibility is at least three miles.
5. has been authorized by the appropriate ATC unit.

An aircraft is holding over its clearance limit. The EFC is 1030Z, and the ETA reported by the PIC in the most recent position report was 1045Z. At 1025Z the aircraft experiences a communications failure in IMC, assuming that the clearance limit is also the IAF for an approach to the destination, the PIC should

What is the maximum holding speed for an aeroplane at 6,000 feet ASL?

What is the timing for the inbound leg of a holding pattern above 14,000 ft ASL?

Unless otherwise indicated, when holding below 14,000 feet ASL and above 6,000 feet ASL, an aircraft’s indicated airspeed must be at or below

A pilot tracking outbound along R-360 of the YOW VOR is currently at 10 DME and is then cleared to hold inbound on R-360 between 15 and 20 DME. Assuming no wind, what is the recommended type of entry?

A pilot tracking inbound along R-360 of the YOW VOR is currently 25 DME and is then cleared to hold inbound on R-360 between 15 and 20 DME. Assuming no wind, what is the recommended type of entry?

Select the correct statement regarding the use of the phrase “when ready” in relation to an altitude clearance or instruction.

Unless otherwise published, the maximum speed during a climb while executing a shuttle procedure is

The pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall, except when taking off or landing, or when being radar-vectored by an air traffic control unit, ensure that the aircraft is operated at or above the . . . . . when the aircraft is on an airway or air route.

Although pilots may fly IFR at the published MEA or MOCA, in the winter, when air temperatures are much lower than standard, pilots should operate at altitudes of at least . . . . . above the MEA or MOCA.

While in cruise, an aircraft requests to descend below the MEA due to icing conditions. If 30 minutes have passed since an aircraft has descended below the MEA and an arrival report has not been filed, ATC will continue to protect the MEA
