Before entering IMC conditions in Class G Airspace.

Before entering VMC conditions in Class B Airspace.

Before entering Class A airspace.

Miami Executive Airport (Class D Airport) is reporting the following:

KTMB 092135Z 26018G25KT 3SM -RA BR BKN010 30/21 A2992

Under the conditions depicted above, is the airport currently under IFR conditions?

Affirmative, the ceiling is at 1000 feet and the visibility is less than 3SM.

Negative, the weather is still MVFR.

Negative, IFR conditions in class D airspace occur only when the ceiling drops below 500 feet and the visibility below 1SM.

Where can a pilot find the tasks he must satisfactorily complete in order to receive an Instrument Proficiency Check endorsement?

§ 61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command, includes all the tasks a pilot seeking an IPC endorsement must complete.

The Instrument Rating Airmen Certification Standards includes a table that shows the minimum tasks that must be satisfactorily complete.

There are no minimum tasks to be completed. It is all to the discretion of the instructor performing the check.

What equipment is required to operate in Class B airspace under IFR?

ADS B OUT, MODE C Transponder, and Two Way Radio Communications.

MODE C Transponder and Two Way Radio Communications.

ADS B OUT, MODE C Transponder, Two Way Radio Communications, and a VOR or TACAN receiver or a suitable RNAV system.

Your planning an IFR flight from KTMB to KTPA (Tampa International), your ETD is 1800z and your ETE is 2 hours and 30 min.

Based on the current forecast, is an alternate required?

An aircraft is currently established on the BRDGE EIGHT ARRIVAL (LBV TRANSITION). The aircraft destination is KTPA, and the last assigned altitude given to the pilot was 6000 feet.

ATC: “N123EC, proceed direct to BRDGE intersection, hold as published, expect further clearance 21:45 Zulu, time now 20:20 Zulu”

The aircraft reached BRDGE insertion at 2030Z and upon crossing the fix, the pilot experienced two-way radio communication failure while operating under IMC conditions.

What would be the appropriate course of action?

Squak 7600. Continue holding over BRDGE until 21:45 Zulu, and land as soon as practicable.

Squak 7600. Leave BRDIGE upon arriving over the fix and continue to a fix from which an approach begins. Hold on the IAF, and descend and approach as close as possible to the ETA.

Squak 7600. Leave BRDIGE at 21:45 Zulu, and continue to a fix from which an approach begins. Hold on the IAF, and descend and approach as close as possible to the ETA.

N123EC is currently on an IFR cross country flight from KTMB to KTPA expecting the ILS 1L. ATC issues the following clearance: “N123EC cleared to LAGOO, Hold as published, Expect Further Clearance Time 2100Z, time now 2035Z”.

The aircraft reached the holding pattern at 2040Z. At 2045Z the pilot realized he hast lost communications with ATC while holding over LAGOO in IMC conditions, after troubleshooting the radios, what would be the appropriate course of action?

Squak 7600, Leave the holding fix at 2050Z, and descend and approach into KPTA.

Squak 7600, Continue to KTPA and land as soon as practicable.

Squak 7600 and return back to KTMB.

Squak 7600, continue on the Holding until the EFC time (2100Z), then descend and approach into KTPA.
