IFR Check Ride Prep: -------------------- 8 holds possible at a cross radial intersection Fly slow during IFR approaches Fly 10 degrees outside of the fix when vectored Unable/executing missed if tower changes approach after FAF Set missed heading in #2 Nav Think about using a second radial vs. DME to ID the FAF, MAP Timer should be lighted Blindfold and rehearse touching every cockpit button Time management: ATIS and ID navaids is quick Activate all audio panel buttons and use volume to ID navs Intercept radials at 30 degree angles or less Practice some own nav approaches Every takeoff in 0/0, use back course localizer for T/O Skids (rudder only) for minor corrections, wings level Rate yourself on "initiative" for each flight Centered G/S and loc at MAP Execute MAP with complete electrical failure Call emergencies for loss-of-engine, no gyro, electrical Use hdg bug for wind direction after FAF NAV 1 for approach, NAV 2 for MAP, bug for wind Brief and memorize FAF and MAP altitudes, MAP procedure Tell approach your request, including straight-in or circling PIC must announce "three green" after MAP and before touchdown CRM Agreement: -------------- Safety pilot gets all traffic calls, or PIC says "looking" Single-engine landings are full stop Throttle only to kill engines below 3000 ft agl Announce simulated engine failures If the SIC says "left turn", execute standard rate SIC will take the controls for collision avoidance For the first 3 lessons, simulated IFR is in VFR conditions For the first 3 lessons, no touch-and-gos, only stop-and-gos SIC alerts pilot if entering actual, removes foggles Discuss simulated engine failure procedures before flight SIC responsible for ensuring gear is down on landing IFR Oral Exam 1. Plan a trip from Truckee to SJC. Climb, and get to an SJC approach. 2. What are the frequencies for FSS on the enroute chart? 3. What do the ticks on an enroute airway mean? 4. What is the size of the hold protected area? 5. What happens if pitot ices? If Static ices?
