About Instrument Flight Rules and Approaches

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit collects material on flying under instrument flight rules, with a clear focus on approaches. The resources were made by GoConqr users, and several draw on FAA-style questions. Topics include radio failure, ATC clearances, SIDs and STARs, holding patterns, circling and contact approaches, and missed approaches.

Where to start

Begin with the quiz AVIANCA FINAL. It asks what altitude and route to use in IMC after a two-way radio failure, and what a clearance reading "cruise six thousand" means. Next, try Examen 8, which asks about STARs, radar vectors and approach clearances.

If you want a longer run of questions, the quizzes numbered by question range, such as the one covering questions 698 to 817, include chart-based items like the ILS approach at DSM.

Using flashcards for recall

The flashcard decks make up most of this page. Instrument Procedures Handbook covers topics such as LVO and SMGCS and how to accept or reject a SID. IPC covers items such as acceptable altimeter error, MORA, lost communications altitude and lost communications routing. MEIR Renewal asks what you would do after a radio failure on a SID or under radar vectors.

Other decks include Circling Approach, Approaches, Enroute and Instrument Flying Handbook. Several decks collect questions from periodicals, so you can work through them in small sessions.

Putting quizzes and maps together

The mind map Instrument, Approach and Holding Procedures sets out rules such as missed approach tracks diverging by 30 degrees for parallel runways. Read it first, then take a quiz and note which questions you missed. Go back to the map or a related deck for those points only. The smaller maps Go Around and Instrument Approches give a quick overview of the approach phase.

Where this unit sits

This unit belongs to the Flight Operations and Procedures strand of the Aviation subject. The material suits professional candidates, including those preparing for ATPL-style questions, and teachers who want ready-made questions for instrument training.

Choose one deck, work through it, then test yourself with a quiz and see what stays with you.

Frequently asked questions

Which quiz should I try first?

Try AVIANCA FINAL first. It covers two-way radio communications failure in IMC and the meaning of a clearance that reads cruise six thousand. Then move on to Examen 8, which looks at STARs, radar vectors and approach clearances. Both give a quick sense of how well you know core IFR procedures.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are a few mind maps. Instrument, Approach and Holding Procedures covers rules such as parallel runway missed approach tracks. Others look at go-arounds, instrument approaches and required visual references. They work well as a short overview before you take a quiz or open a flashcard deck.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it helps to compare them with your own approved training materials.

Which flashcard decks deal with radio failure?

MEIR Renewal asks what you would do after a radio failure on a SID or under radar vectors. IPC includes cards on lost communications altitude and lost communications routing. Together they give you a practical way to rehearse these scenarios before trying related quiz questions.

Who are these resources for?

They suit university students and professional candidates working on instrument procedures, and teachers looking for ready-made questions. The listed material mentions FAA and ATPL topics, so it fits those preparing for that kind of instrument knowledge test. Check that the content matches your own syllabus.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Browse the other decks, such as Approaches, Enroute and Circling Approach, since topics often overlap. If the gap remains, you can make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes with a free account, which also saves your quiz scores.
