The Five Hardest IFR Test Questions | FAA Knowledge Test Prep

[@lgarcia258]

@FlightInsight - Why do I think that at @3:40 it is not teardrop entry, instead a parallel entry? Can someone help me to understand why I have this discrepancy, please?

[@gregagee4328]

I thought the same thing. Did anyone respond to your question?

[@lgarcia258]

@@gregagee4328 No, no one has replied to my comment. I still believe I am correct.

[@mobius7089]

@@lgarcia258 You would be correct if it were using right turns.

[@lgarcia258]

@@mobius7089 You are correct. I just realized that, somehow, I was fixated on a right turn entry to the pattern. Thank you, Sir.

One way is looking from a pilot perspective, another one is from atc perspective

folks. CFII guy here. sign up for flightInsight IFR course. I did, and I am already a CFII. beats everyone else, hands down

[@Pilot_Scottie]

I’m getting ready for my CFII so thank you. Gotta stay sharp

[@jpm1211]

You clearly put a lot of thought into your questions, multiple choice where you *can't* immediately throw out 1 or 2 -- that's the right approach.

[@rickjaime100]

Thanks for the explanations Dan, super helpful. I didn't do very well on those 5 questions...was able to figure out why...but this video is really helpful! Especially the question on the holds, those always throw me. Getting ready to start my own CFII training.

Here is the thing you put effort into practicing anything none is stuff is hard!

[@almsys]

That was a tough test. I hope you hit us with more tough ones in the future.

[@FernvalleyFarm]

hi love the videos have learned so much, i have Ben averaging a 90+ on your practice instrument tests, will these practice exams get me ready for the real thing ?

[@thebadgerpilot]

I have my first instrument lesson in a few hours. These “hard” questions I was 3/5, but in my studying, I’ve found that most questions are hard. The easy ones are few and far between.

[@dalegammell9493]

As always quality content! Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos. I share your videos with as many people as I can.

[@YSLaurens]

These or similar questions are some of the more doable ones in the EASA question bank. No wonder airmen struggle when converting their FAA license to an EASA one.

[@bencalhoun8216]

on the 3rd question, wouldn't a teardrop entry be better?

[@jonathanguerrero6642]

Looks like a great course! Do you guys have a discount code?

[@flightinsight9111]

You can use SPRING22 for now

[@Ayush-Pyakurel]

How to book exam?

[@psychastria]

Well, I got 80% of those questions right (paused when the question was read, and figure shown where applicable, figured it out, continued watching for answer). The only one I missed was #2 about RNAV, and really I should have simply read all the answers because it was obviously not B or C. In the days of my IFR training none of the planes had RNAV or LORAN, and predated widespread GPS so none of them had that either, so anything I knew about RNAV was limited to what was on the practical test and what was described in the textbooks. I never actually used RNAV myself.

[@tgiphil18]

You made a mistake on question 3. You said "teardrop entry" even though you depicted a direct entry. Also, in the question you gave it would be in the direct entry slice with the track being 60 degrees (10 degrees left of the teardrop zone).

[@philmorgan3877]

I think he got it right. Holding on the 360 radial with left turns means that we’ll add 70 degrees for teardrop and subtract 110 for parallel entry. the course of 045 is between 360 & 070, meaning it would fall in the teardrop section.

[@cayetanolopez657]

Thank you so much for this,is so helpful

[@702cm]

Still kind of confused why it's a teardrop entry :/

[@spencerroa6566]

Think about the laziest entry

[@AaronWbirdman]

Even though the holding pattern should be a teardrop based on position of the radial it’s more of a direct isn’t it….?

[@joinn6458]

@flightinsight can you guys do a video about weight and balance please?

[@mohammedsayed1356]

God bless you

[@Hoekstes]

So 0/3 for me 😂

Have to read the fu.king questions...there meant to trip u up...well thought up
