regulations and altitudes

An IFR has a track of 140°. Select an appropriate cruising altitude for that aircraft.

11,000 feet

A flight with a track of 200° is cruising at FL250 or 25,000 feet. Is this an appropriate cruising flight level.

No; west-bound flights must maintain even-thousand feet altitudes.

A VFR flight has a track of 185°. Can it cruise at 10,500 feet?

Yes; west-bound VFR flights fly even-thousand + 500 feet altitudes.

Define Altimeter Setting Region

Encompasses all low-level airspace within the SDA. Must set their altimeter to the altimeter setting of the station nearest to the aircraft.

Define Standard Pressure Region

All low-level airspace in the NDA + all high-level airspace is within this region.

The aircraft altimeter must be set to the standard pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.2 hectopascals.

In the standard pressure region, the term ______ is used.

flight level

All low-level airspace in the Northern Domestic Airspace as well as all high-level airspace in both the Northern Domestic Airspace and Southern Domestic Airspace is within the _________.

standard pressure region

Low-level airspace within the Southern Domestic Airspace falls under what pressure region?

Altimeter setting region

When passing from the Altimeter Setting Region to the Standard Pressure Region in level cruise, the pilot will ________.

set the altimeter to 29.92 inHg immediately after leaving the altimeter setting region.

When passing from the Standard Pressure Region to the Altimeter Setting Region in level cruise, the pilot will ________.

obtain the current altimeter setting from the nearest station and set the altimeter immediately prior to entering the altimeter setting region

When climbing from the Altimeter Setting Region to the Standard Pressure Region, the pilot will ______.

set the altimeter to 29.92 inHg immediately after leaving the altimeter setting region

When descending from the Standard Pressure Region to the Altimeter Setting Region, the pilot will ______.

obtain the current altimeter setting from the nearest station and set the altimeter immediately prior to entering the altimeter setting region

An aircraft is climbing from 17,000 feet to FL300 in the SDA. Is the pilot required to obtain an altimeter setting before arriving at FL300?

No

The pilot of an aircraft must ensure that the aircraft is operated at a cruising altitude or flight level appropriate to the ________.

aircraft track

An aircraft is climbing from 14,000 feet to FL280. What should the pilot do in relation to their altimeter?

Set the altimeter to 29.92 inches of mercury

At FL290, increments for separation become _____ unless the aircraft is ______.

2,000 feet, certified for RVSM

If an aircraft is certified with RVSM (_____), the increment for separation is ______ between FL290 and FL410

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum, 1,000 feet
