What is the F.A.R requirement with respect to designating an alternate airport weather minimums? 135. No person may designate an alternate airport unless the weather reports or forecasts, or any combination of them, indicate that the weather conditions will be at or above authorized alternate airport landing minimums for that airport at the estimated time of arrival. What is the F.A.R requirement with respect to the first airport of intended landing and fuel requirements? 135. 1 - 2 - 3 rule. Must carry sufficient fuel to first airport of landing plus fuel to alternate plus 45 minutes unless: The airport has an I.A.P and the weather reports/forecast or combination indicate from 1 hour before/after ETA ceiling will be 1500 ft above lowest circling MDA or if no circling procedure, 1500 ft above lowest published minima or 2000 ft above airport elevation, whichever is higher; and .... 3 miles visibility or 2 miles more than the lowest visibility minima for I.A.P to be used, whichever is greater. What is the F.A.R requirement with respect to commencement of an I.A.P.?

Cannot commence the approach unless the airport has a weather facility operated by NWS and latest reported conditions are at or above the authorized IFR landing minimums for that airport. PIlots with less than 100 hours in type must increase ceiling and visibility minima by how much? 100 feet and 1/2 mile.

Under what circumstances can a pilot commence an instrument approach to a facility that does not have an approved source of weather? Alternate airport must have an approved source of weather and and latest weather report includes altimeter setting for destination airport. pilot may use the current altimeter setting provided by the facility designated on the approach chart for the destination airport. Under which circumstances may a pilot continue an approach after conditions have deteriorated below the published or derived minimums? Aircraft has passed the FAF on an ILS approach or has been turned over to final approach controller on ASR or PAR approach, or on a non-precision approach has passed the facility or FAF or if no FAF has completed the procedure turn and is established inbound. Upon reaching the DA/MDA actual weather at or above minimums prescribed for procedure. What are the minimum qualifications for PIC? CPL with instrument rating and 1500 hours total time, 500 hours cross country, 100 hours night, 75 actual or simulated IFR of which 50 must be actual flight. How frequently must the PIC demonstrate autopilot in lieu of required SIC on checkrides? 135.297(g) Every second 135.297 Instrument Competency Check. What must the route check consist of? 135. One flight over one route segment and must include takeoffs and landings at one or more representative airports, at least one flight shall be flown over a civil airway, an approved off-airway route, or a portion of either of them. What are the maximum number of flight hours a pilot can fly in a quarter, any two quarters or a year? 135. 500 hours in any one quarter, 800 hours in any two consecutive quarters or 1400 hours in a year.

that aircraft. However, this paragraph does not limit the emergency authority of the PIC to exclude any person from the pilot's compartment in the interest of safety. Which seat must be available for the FAA inspector while conducting enroute inspections? A forward observer's seat on the flight deck, or forward passenger seat with the headset or speaker must be provided to the FAA inspector. The suitability of the location of the seat and the headset or speaker for use in conducting enroute inspections is determined by the Administrator. What publications and materials must a certificate holder make available to each pilot? The certificate holder shall inform each person in its employment of the OPSPECs that apply to that person's duties and responsibilities. In addition, each pilot shall have access to:

  1. AIM.
  2. FAR Part 91 and Part 135.
  3. Aircraft equipment manuals and flight manuals.
  4. International Flight Information Manual (for foreign operations). When must a pilot wear an oxygen mask during flight in a pressurized aircraft equipped with quick-donning type-oxygen masks?
  • Continuously when the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 10,000 ft MSL.
  • When operating above 35,000 ft MSL, one pilot at the controls shall wear an oxygen mask.
  • When one pilot leaves a duty station when operating above 25,000 ft MSL, the remaining pilot at the controls shall wear an oxygen mask. Define the phrase "critical phase of flight" with respect to the conduct of flight crewmember duties.

Critical phases of flight includes all ground operations involving taxi, takeoff and landing, and all other flight operations conducted below 10,000 ft, except cruise flight. What are the restrictions for serving alcoholic beverages to passengers?

  • The certificate holder must serve any alcoholic beverage aboard its aircraft.
  • No alcoholic beverage may be served to any passenger that appears to be intoxicated.
  • No person that appears to be intoxicated may board the aircraft. What portable electronic devices are acceptable for operation on aircraft operating under FAR Part 135? The following are acceptable:
  1. Portable voice recorders;
  2. Hearing aids;
  3. Heart pacemakers; 4.Electric shavers;
  4. Any other portable electronic device that the certificate holder has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used. How much oxygen must be carried for the passengers onboard a pressurized aircraft flying above FL250? A 10-minute supply of supplemental oxygen must be available for use by the passengers when a descent is necessary due to loss of cabin pressurization. How much oxygen must be carried for the passengers onboard a pressurized aircraft flying above 10,000 ft MSL through 15,000 ft MSL? Oxygen must be available to at least 10% of the occupants of the aircraft, excluding the pilots, for that part of the flight at those altitudes that is of more than 30 minutes duration.

No. In order to take off, the destination airport weather must be forecast to be at or above authorized IFR landing minimums at the ETA. How much fuel must an aircraft carry for IFR operations under Part 135? Enough fuel to:

  1. Complete the flight to the destination;
  2. Continue the flight to the alternate airport; and
  3. Fly after that for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed. When is an alternate airport required when operating under Part 135? When a standard instrument approach procedure is not available; or for +- 1 hr of the ETA:
  4. Ceiling less than 1,500 ft above the lowest circling approach MDA; or
  5. If circling is not authorized, a celing less than 1,500 ft above the lowest published minimum or 2,000 ft AGL, whichever is higher;
  6. Visibility forecast less than 3 SM, or 2 SM above the approach to be flown, whichever is higher. May a pilot operating IFR under Part 135 begin an instrument approach procedure to an airport when the weather conditions are below authorized IFR landing minimums? No. The weather conditions must be at or above the authorized IFR landing minimums to begin the final approach segment of the instrument approach procedure. When may a pilot continue the approach below the DH or MDA and touch down?
  • Normal rate of descent using normal maneuvers that allow landing within the touchdown zone;
  • Flight visibility > than required for the approach;
  • At least one of the following visual references is distinctly visible and identifiable:
  1. ALS: continue below 100' above TDZE if red terminating bar/red side row bars in view; or
  2. Threshold, marking or light; or
  3. REIL, VASI; or
  4. Touchdown zone or runway, markings or lights. How are the landing minimums affected for the PIC who has low time in a specific type of airplane while operating under Part 135? Each PIC of a turbine-powered airplane who has not served at least 100 hrs as PIC in that type of airplane will raise the landing minimums (MDA/DA/DH and visibility) in the OPSPECs by 100 ft and 1/2 mile respectively, not to exceed the ceiling and visibility minimums for that airport when used as an alternate airport. What are the takeoff minimums for a pilot operating in IFR conditions under Part 135? For airports with published takeoff minimums, no pilot may take off unless the weather is at or above these published takeoff minimums or OPSPECs. For airports without published takeoff minimums, no pilot may take off unless the weather is either 1 SM (aircraft having 2 engines or less) or 1/2 SM (aircraft having more than 2 engines or helicopters). In addition, where straight-in approaches are authorized, the winds and reported weather must be landing minimums.
