1Under RAC 61.070(b), what minimum score must an applicant achieve on the UAEAC theoretical examination for the habilitación de vuelo por instrumentos?
A.75%
B.70%
C.80%
D.85%
Explanation: RAC 61.070(b) sets the pass threshold for UAEAC theoretical knowledge examinations, including the instrument-rating paper on RAC 61.175(b) subjects, at 75%. Scoring 74% or using a different CAA’s pass mark does not meet Aerocivil’s rule.
2What is the minimum pilot licence RAC 61.175(a)(1) requires before a candidate may obtain the Colombian habilitación de vuelo por instrumentos?
A.At least a valid private-pilot licence with the appropriate aircraft rating
B.A student-pilot authorization with a current solo endorsement
C.A commercial-pilot licence; a PPL holder is not eligible
D.An airline-transport (PTL) licence only
Explanation: RAC 61.175(a)(1) requires at least a valid private-pilot licence with the rating for the aircraft category in which the instrument rating is sought. A CPL or PTL already meets that floor, but neither is the minimum.
3Under RAC 61.175(d)(2), how much instrument time must an applicant log, and what is the maximum that may be in a flight-simulation training device?
A.40 hours of instrument time, of which a maximum of 20 hours may be in a UAEAC-qualified FSTD
B.50 hours of instrument time, of which a maximum of 25 hours may be in any FAA-approved simulator
C.40 hours of instrument time, all of which may be in an FSTD
D.15 hours of instrument time in the aircraft only, with no FSTD credit
Explanation: RAC 61.175(d)(2) requires 40 hours of instrument flight, of which a maximum of 20 hours may be in FSTDs qualified by the UAEAC and flown under an authorized instructor. Do not import the FAA’s 50-hour instrument-time figure.
4RAC 61.175(d)(1) requires which cross-country experience for the habilitación de vuelo por instrumentos?
A.50 hours as PIC on cross-country flights, of which at least 10 hours are in the aircraft category of the rating sought
B.50 hours of dual cross-country under IFR in any category
C.10 hours as PIC on any flights, with no cross-country requirement
D.100 hours total time, of which 50 must be night cross-country
Explanation: The applicant must have at least 50 hours as pilot-in-command on cross-country (travesía) flights, including at least 10 hours in the category of aircraft for which the instrument rating is requested. That PIC cross-country block is separate from the 40-hour instrument-time requirement.
5Besides the IFR practical test, RAC 61.175(e) requires the applicant to pass which examination?
A.A UAEAC theoretical knowledge examination on the RAC 61.175(b) subjects appropriate to the instrument rating sought
B.Only an English radiotelephony oral with no written paper
C.The PTL airline-transport written examination in place of an IFR paper
D.A medical Class 1 written test administered by RAC 67 examiners
Explanation: RAC 61.175(e) requires a theoretical knowledge examination covering the RAC 61.175(b) subjects for the instrument rating sought. The practical skill test is additional; it does not replace the theory paper.
6Which language requirements apply to a Colombian habilitación IFR applicant under RAC 61.175(a) and RAC 61.155?
A.Ability to read, speak, and understand the official language of the issuing State, plus English-language proficiency in accordance with RAC 61.155
B.English only; Spanish is optional because IFR is an ICAO rating
C.No language standard if the applicant holds any ICAO licence
D.Portuguese radiotelephony only, because Colombia is in South America
Explanation: The applicant must read, speak, and understand the official language of the issuing State (Spanish in Colombia) and must meet English proficiency under RAC 61.155. Official UAEAC sittings are in Spanish; English proficiency supports ICAO radiotelephony, it does not replace Spanish.
7A private-pilot holder applying for the habilitación IFR must, under RAC 61.175(a)(4), meet which extra medical standard?
A.Class 1 visual and hearing standards of RAC 67
B.Class 3 visual standards only, with no hearing requirement
C.No medical standard beyond a valid PPL Class 2 certificate
D.An airline-transport electrocardiogram regardless of age
Explanation: When the applicant’s licence is a private-pilot licence, RAC 61.175(a)(4) additionally requires Class 1 visual and hearing standards under RAC 67. That is a targeted Class 1 vision/hearing overlay, not a waiver of all other RAC 67 requirements for the licence already held.
8How much dual instrument instruction in the rating category does RAC 61.175(c)(1) require as part of the experience for the habilitación IFR?
A.At least 10 hours of dual instrument instruction in the category of aircraft for which the rating is sought
B.At least 5 hours dual, which may all be in an unqualified home simulator
C.At least 40 hours dual, identical to the total instrument-time requirement
D.No dual minimum if the applicant already holds a PPL
Explanation: Within the instrument time required by RAC 61.175(d), the applicant must have acquired at least 10 hours of dual instruction in the category of the rating, covering the listed IFR tasks (preflight, SID/STAR, holding, approaches to minima, missed approach, and landing from an instrument approach). Those 10 hours are instruction, not a substitute for the 40-hour instrument total.
9Which statement about FSTD credit toward RAC 61.175(d)(2) is correct?
A.Only time in a UAEAC-qualified FSTD, under an instructor authorized by the UAEAC, may count, and at most 20 hours may be credited
B.Any desktop computer running an IFR training app may be logged as the 20-hour FSTD block
C.FAA Part 60 simulator time counts hour-for-hour in Colombia with no UAEAC qualification
D.FSTD time may replace the entire 40-hour instrument requirement if a CIAC stamp is obtained
Explanation: RAC 61.175(d)(2) credits a maximum of 20 instrument hours in devices qualified by the UAEAC, completed under an instructor authorized by the UAEAC. Foreign or consumer devices are not automatically interchangeable with that credit.
10In ICAO Annex 2 cruising levels used for IFR in Colombia, which flight level is appropriate for an IFR aircraft on a magnetic track of 090° (below RVSM, eastbound)?
A.An odd flight level such as FL 190
B.An even flight level such as FL 180
C.Any flight level ending in 500 ft (for example FL 185) because IFR uses VFR hemispheric levels
D.FL 200 only, regardless of track
Explanation: ICAO Table of Cruising Levels assigns odd flight levels (FL 190, 210, 230, …) to IFR flights on magnetic tracks from 000° through 179°, and even levels (FL 180, 200, 220, …) to tracks 180° through 359°. A 090° track is eastbound, so an odd IFR level is used unless ATC assigns otherwise.

Aerocivil Colombia Instrument Flight Rating (IFR) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice holding-pattern entries, ILS components, and time/distance calculations — RAC 61.175(b)(6)–(7) is procedure-heavy.
2Know compass turning/acceleration errors and gyro precession; RAC 61.175(b)(2)(ii) names them explicitly.
3Do not import FAA 50-hour instrument-time myths; Colombia's RAC 61.175(d)(2) is 40 hours with a 20-hour FSTD cap.
4Treat ELITE as a Spanish sitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Colombian IFR rating a separate theoretical exam?

Yes. RAC 61.175(e) requires a theoretical knowledge examination on the RAC 61.175(b) subjects appropriate to the instrument rating sought, in addition to the IFR practical test.

How much instrument time does RAC 61.175 require?

Forty hours of instrument flight, of which a maximum of 20 hours may be in a UAEAC-approved FSTD, plus 50 hours PIC cross-country including 10 in the rating category, and at least 10 hours dual instrument instruction in that category.

What is the passing score?

RAC 61.070(b) requires at least 75% on the theoretical examination.

In what language is the official exam?

Spanish. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or IFR checkride.
