You arrive at your destination airport on an IFR flight plan. Which is a prerequisitecondition for the performance of a contact approach?

A flight visibility of at least 1/2 NM.A.A ground visibility of at least 2 SM.B.Clear of clouds and at least 1 SM flight visibility.C.


When may you obtain a contact approach?

ATC may assign a contact approach if VFR conditions exist or you report therunway in sight and are clear of clouds.

A.

ATC may assign a contact approach if you are below the clouds and the visibility isat least 1 mile.

B.

ATC will assign a contact approach only upon request if the reported visibility is atleast 1 mile.

C.


What is a difference between an SDF and an LDA facility?

The SDF course width is either 6° or 12° while the LDA course width isapproximately 5°.

A.

The SDF course has no glide slope guidance while the LDA does.B.The SDF has no marker beacons while the LDA has at least an OM.C.

If the pilot loses visual reference while circling to land from an instrument approach andATC radar service is not available, the missed approach action should be to

climb to the published circling minimums then proceed direct to the final approachfix.

A.

make a climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue the turn untilestablished on the missed approach course.

B.

execute a climbing turn to parallel the published final approach course and climb tothe initial approach altitude.

C.

How does a pilot determine if DME is available on an ILS/LOC?

LOC\DME frequencies available in the Airman’s Information Manual.A.IAP indicate DME\TACAN channel in LOC frequency box.B.LOC\DME are indicated on en route low altitude frequency box.C.


Which substitution is appropriate during an ILS approach?

DME, when located at the localizer antenna site, should be substituted for either theouter or middle marker.

A.

A VOR radial crossing the outer marker site may be substituted for the outermarker.

B.

LOC minimums should be substituted for ILS minimums whenever the glide slopebecomes inoperative.

C.


During a precision radar or ILS approach, the rate of descent required to remain on theglide slope will

decrease as the groundspeed increases.A.remain the same regardless of groundspeed.B.increase as the groundspeed increases.C.





[9] Gleim #: 6.8.55 -- Source: AIM Para 5-4-3How is ATC radar used for instrument approaches when the facility is approved forapproach control service?

ASR approaches, weather surveillance, and course guidance by approach control.A.Precision approaches, weather surveillance, and as a substitute for any inoperativecomponent of a navigation aid used for approaches.

B.

Course guidance to the final approach course, ASR and PAR approaches, and themonitoring of nonradar approaches.

C.


When making a “timed approach” from a holding fix at the outer marker, the pilot shouldadjust the

holding pattern to leave the final approach fix inbound at the assigned time.A.holding pattern to start the procedure turn at the assigned time.B.airspeed at the final approach fix in order to arrive at the missed approach point atthe assigned time.

C.


(Refer to Figure 114.) A pilot receives this ATC clearance:

“...CLEARED TO THE ABC VORTAC. HOLD SOUTH ON THE ONE EIGHT ZERORADIAL...”

What is the recommended procedure to enter the holding pattern?

Parallel only.A.Teardrop only.B.Direct only.C.





[12] Gleim #: 6.12.86 -- Source: AIM P/C GlossaryWhich fixes on the IAP Charts are initial approach fixes?

Any fix on the en route facilities ring, the feeder facilities ring, and those at the startof arc approaches.

A.

Any fix that is identified by the letters IAF.B.Only the fixes at the start of arc approaches and those on either the feeder facilitiesring or en route facilities ring that have a transition course shown to the approachprocedure.

C.


During an instrument precision approach, terrain and obstacle clearance depends onadherence to

natural and man-made reference point information.A.minimum altitude shown on the IAP.B.terrain contour information.C.


(Refer to Figure 123.) What minimum navigation equipment is required to complete theVOR/DME-A procedure?

One VOR receiver and DME.A.Two VOR receivers and DME.B.One VOR receiver.C.


(Refer to Figure 130.) At what minimum altitude should you cross CLAMM intersectionduring the S-LDA 6 approach at Roanoke Regional?

2,800 MSL.A.4,200 MSL.B.4,182 MSL.C.





[16] Gleim #: 6.12.124 -- Source: AIM Para 5-4-9(Refer to Figure 124.) What options are available concerning the teardrop course reversalfor LOC RWY 35 approach to Duncan/Halliburton Field?

The point where the turn is begun and the type and rate of turn are optional.A.If a course reversal is required, only the teardrop can be executed.B.A normal procedure turn may be made if the 10 DME limit is not exceeded.C.


(Refer to Figure 118, Figure 121.) During the ILS RWY 12L procedure at DSM, whataltitude minimum applies if the glide slope becomes inoperative?

1,420 feet.A.1,360 feet.B.1,121 feet.C.


(Refer to Figure 126.) If cleared for a straight-in LOC approach from over OALDY, itmeans the flight should

comply with straight-in landing minimums.A.land straight in on runway 31.B.begin final approach without making a procedure turn.C.


(Refer to Figure 85, Figure 86.) Which combination of indications confirm that you areapproaching WAGGE intersection slightly to the right of the LOC centerline ondeparture?

2 and 3.A.1 and 3.B.1 and 4.C.





[20] Gleim #: 6.14.161 -- Source: AIM Para 1-1-20On a GPS with WAAS capability, what is the significance of “LNAV+V” beingdisplayed?

Advisory vertical guidance is provided as an aid to the pilot during the descent tothe runway.

Advisory vertical guidance is provided to the pilot that must be used in lieu ofpublished step-down fixes on the instrument approach.

B.

Approved vertical guidance to descend to the decision height is provided to thepilot.

C.
