1Under ANAC RBAC 61, what is the minimum total flight time required for a pilot to be eligible for an Instrument Rating - Helicopter (IFRH)?

A.500 hours of total flight time in rotorcraft

B.50 hours of total flight time as pilot

C.125 hours of total flight time, including at least 50 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot-in-command

D.200 hours of total flight time in airplanes or helicopters

Explanation: According to ANAC RBAC 61.223, an applicant for an Instrument Rating - Helicopter (IFRH) must log at least 125 hours of total flight time, of which at least 50 hours must be cross-country flight time as pilot-in-command (PIC), with a minimum portion performed in helicopters.

2What are the recent instrument flight experience requirements under RBAC 61 for a pilot to act as PIC under IFR in a helicopter?

A.Within the preceding 90 days, perform 3 landings and 3 takeoffs under instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)

B.Within the preceding 12 months, log 12 hours of flight under IFR in any category of aircraft

C.Within the preceding 30 days, complete a 1-hour proficiency check with an ANAC flight examiner

D.Within the preceding 6 months, log at least 6 hours of instrument time including 6 instrument approaches and holding procedures

Explanation: ANAC RBAC 61.21 mandates that to act as PIC under IFR in a helicopter, a pilot must have logged, within the preceding 6 calendar months, at least 6 hours of instrument time (in flight or approved FSTD), including at least 6 instrument approaches and holding procedures.

3If a helicopter pilot allows their IFR recency to expire beyond the 6-month period, how can instrument currency be re-established under RBAC 61?

A.By logging 3 hours of VFR cross-country night flight with an instructor

B.By passing an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC / Check Prático de IFR) with a qualified check pilot or ANAC inspector

C.By performing 10 simulated instrument approaches under VFR without a safety pilot

D.By submitting a written declaration of instrument competence to ANAC

Explanation: Under RBAC 61, when a pilot's 6-month instrument recency has elapsed without meeting the minimum approach and hour criteria, the pilot must successfully complete an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) administered by an authorized ANAC examiner or check pilot.

4According to RBAC 91, what is the required reserve fuel for a helicopter operating under IFR to a destination where an alternate aerodrome is required?

A.Fuel to fly to destination, then to the alternate, plus 30 minutes at normal cruising speed

B.Fuel to fly to destination, plus 15 minutes holding at 1,500 feet

C.Fuel to fly to destination, then to the alternate, plus 2 hours at endurance power setting

D.Fuel to fly to destination, then to the alternate, plus 45 minutes at normal cruising speed

Explanation: RBAC 91.167 specifies that a helicopter operating under IFR must carry enough fuel to fly to the intended destination aerodrome, then fly from there to the alternate aerodrome (if required), and thereafter fly for 30 minutes at normal cruising speed.

5According to RBAC 91.167, after flying to the destination and then to the alternate, what additional cruise reserve must a helicopter carry for IFR?

A.60 minutes of cruise fuel

B.30 minutes at normal cruising speed

C.45 minutes at normal cruising speed

D.20 minutes at maximum endurance speed

Explanation: RBAC 91.167(a)(3) requires, after destination and alternate, an additional cruise reserve of 45 minutes for airplanes and 30 minutes for helicopters.

6Under RBAC 91.167, which fuel elements must be included when planning a helicopter IFR flight?

A.Fuel equal to 10 minutes of hover only

B.Fuel for VFR day reserve of 20 minutes with no IFR alternate planning

C.Fuel to the destination, fuel to the alternate aerodrome, plus 30 minutes at normal cruising speed

D.Fuel to the destination only, with zero alternate or reserve fuel

Explanation: RBAC 91.167 requires fuel to the first intended landing, then to the alternate, then 30 minutes cruise reserve for helicopters. Do not apply foreign alternate-filing exemptions under reserved Brazilian section numbers.

7What does the abbreviation 'PinS' stand for in helicopter instrument approach charts and procedures?

A.Pilot-in-Sight approach

B.Point-in-Space approach

C.Position-in-Sector navigation

D.Precision-Instrument Segment

Explanation: PinS stands for Point-in-Space, which is an instrument approach procedure designed specifically for helicopters that leads to a point in space rather than directly to a runway or heliport landing area.

8In a PinS instrument approach procedure, what two types of visual instruction segments can follow the Missed Approach Point (MAPt)?

A."Direct Heliport" or "Hold Visual"

B."Tactical Approach" or "Standard Visual"

C."Proceed Visually" or "Proceed VFR"

D."Land Immediately" or "Circle to Land"

Explanation: ICAO Doc 8168 and DECEA ICA 100-12 specify that PinS approaches terminate at the MAPt with either a 'Proceed Visually' segment (protected visual obstacle surface to heliport) or a 'Proceed VFR' segment (pilot maneuvers under VFR visibility/ceiling rules).

9According to Brazilian DECEA regulations (ICA 100-12), what is the maximum recommended final approach airspeed for COPTER instrument procedures?

A.90 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS)

B.70 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS)

C.40 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS)

D.120 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS)

Explanation: Standard COPTER instrument approach procedures are designed based on Category A helicopter speeds, with a recommended maximum final approach speed of 70 KIAS to ensure proper obstacle protection inside tight turn radii.

10What primary radar altimeter function is mandatory for helicopters performing offshore IFR operations in Brazilian airspace (e.g., Bacia de Campos)?

A.Automatic coupling to the autopilot to execute auto-hover without pilot intervention

B.Synthetic vision terrain mapping up to 50 nautical miles ahead

C.Direct VHF transmission of altitude to nearby maritime vessels

D.Continuous display of radio height above surface with selectable low-altitude audio and visual warnings

Explanation: Under RBAC 91 and offshore operational rules, a functioning radio/radar altimeter with audio and visual low-altitude warning bugs is mandatory for night and offshore IFR flights to alert pilots of proximity to the water surface.
