Questions and Answers

As an instrument-rated airplane pilot, what is the appropriate procedure to regain instrument currency if you have not flown using instrument references for a period of 12 months?

  • Retake the FAA Instrument Rating Airman Knowledge and Practical Tests.
  • Successfully completed and instrument proficiency check with an FAA-certified instrument flight instructor. (correct)
  • Obtain three hours of simulator and at least 3 hours of airplane instrument practice with a certificated instrument instructor.

When you are cleared for an approach while being radar vectored, you must maintain your last assigned altitude until:

  • the airport or runway environment is in sight.
  • you contact the control tower.
  • you are established on a segment of a published route or instrument approach procedure. (correct)

A row of flush-mounted flashing white lights perpendicular to the runway centerline are ________?

  • taxiway lead-off lights.
  • land and hold short lights. (correct)
  • displaced threshold lights.
