What is an IFR clearance?
An IFR clearance is an authorization for an aircraft to operate in the IFR System. The limit of the IFR clearance, beyond which pilot cannot fly IMC, unless he either receives further clearance, or chooses to terminate his IFR flight plan.
Which of the following can be a clearance limit in an IFR clearance?
An IFR clearance is the point or location to which is aircraft is cleared to operate in, under Instrument Flight Rules, when issued by air traffic clearance. A clearance limit can be the intended landing airport, intersection, NAVAID, or waypoint.
What are the items that need to be noted when requesting for IFR clearance?
Before issuing a clearance, ask if the pilot is able to maintain terrain and obstruction clearance during a climb to the minimum IFR altitude….Traffic information containing an altitude.
- Holding instructions.
- Any special information.
- Frequency and beacon code information.
Is ATC is allowed to issue an IFR clearance to a VFR aircraft who is requesting an IFR clearance if the aircraft is below the minimum IFR altitude?
Section (d) states: “When VFR aircraft operating below the minimum altitude for IFR operations requests an IFR clearance and the pilot informs you, or you are aware, that they are unable to climb in VFR conditions to the minimum IFR altitude: 1.
Can a pilot deviate from ATC clearance?
§ 91.123 Compliance with ATC clearances and instructions. (a) When an ATC clearance has been obtained, no pilot in command may deviate from that clearance unless an amended clearance is obtained, an emergency exists, or the deviation is in response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory.
When an ATC clearance has been obtained?
(a) When an ATC clearance has been obtained, no pilot in command may deviate from that clearance unless an amended clearance is obtained, an emergency exists, or the deviation is in response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory.
What is the purpose of ATC?
The primary purpose of the ATC system is to prevent a collision involving aircraft operating in the system.
When would a pilot be required to notify ATC of an emergency which caused the pilot to deviate from an ATC clearance?
When would a pilot be required to submit a detailed report of an emergency which caused the pilot to deviate from an ATC clearance? A) Within 48 hours if requested by ATC.
What should pilots read back from ATC clearances?
Pilots of airborne aircraft should read back those parts of ATC clearances and instructions containing altitude assignments, vectors, or runway assignments as a means of mutual verification.
What does departure clearance mean for IFR flights?
FAA Order JO 7110.65, Para 4-3-3, Abbreviated Departure Clearance. IFR-VFR AND VFR-IFR FLIGHTS Clear an aircraft planning IFR operations for the initial part of flight and VFR for the latter part to the fix at which the IFR part ends. Treat an aircraft planning VFR for the initial part of flight and IFR for the latter part as a VFR departure.
When do pilots report to ATC for two-way communications failure?
Pilots should report to ATC the time and altitude/flight level at which the aircraft reaches the clearance limit and report leaving the clearance limit. In the event of two-way communications failure, pilots are required to comply with 14 CFR Section 91.185.
Does ATC provide separation after an aircraft leaves Class B clearance?
ATC does not provide separation after an aircraft leaves the Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E surface area on a special VFR clearance. Special VFR operations by fixed-wing aircraft are prohibited in some Class B and Class C surface areas due to the volume of IFR traffic.
