Although these questions are airplane based they represent the same type of questions that can be found on all Instrument Rating tests. The applicant must realize that these questions are to be used as a study guide, and are not necessarily actual test questions. The full IRA test contains 60 questions. The Application Identification, Information Verification and Authorization Requirements Matrix lists all FAA exams. It is available at [www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/testing_matrix.pdf](www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/testing_matrix.pdf)  \nThe FAA testing system is supported by a series of supplement publications. These publications include the graphics, legends, and maps that are needed to successfully respond to certain test questions. FAA-CT-8080-3F, Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement for Instrument Rating is available at [www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/supplements/media/instrument_rating_akts.pdf](www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/supplements/media/instrument_rating_akts.pdf)  \nThe questions presented here have an associated Airman Certification Standards (ACS) code. The ACS Codes link the individual question to a Task Element within the Instrument Rating-Airplane (IRA) ACS document. The IRA ACS is available at [www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/acs/media/instrument_rating_acs_change_1.pdf](www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/acs/media/instrument_rating_acs_change_1.pdf)  \nThe online Instrument Rating Airplane (IRA) practice test is available on the PSI website at  \n[https://faa.psiexams.com/FAA/login](https://faa.psiexams.com/FAA/login)  \nNOTE: Some questions in the PSI Practice Test may contain the reference \"Refer to FAA-CT-8080 . .\" You may access the referred to supplement by opening the following link in a separate window while taking the test.

Six hours of instrument time in any aircraft, and six instrument approaches.  \nC. Six instrument approaches, three of which must be in the same category and class of aircraft to be flown, and 6 hours of instrument time in any aircraft.  \nMetadata: ACSCode : IR.I.A. K1  \n2. A certificated commercial pilot who carries passengers for hire at night or in excess of 50 NM is required to have at least  \nA. a type rating.  \nB. a first class medical certificate.  \n[C. an](C. an) instrument rating in the same category and class of aircraft.  \nMetadata: ACSCode : IR.I.A.

When operating in airspace above 14,500 feet.  \nMetadata: ACSCode : IR. I.C. R3  \n4. A pilot is making an ILS approach and is past the OM to a runway which has a VASI. What action is appropriate if an electronic glide slope malfunction occurs and the pilot has the VASI in sight?  \nA. The pilot should inform ATC of the malfunction and then descend immediately to the localizer DH and make a localizer approach.  \nB. The pilot may continue the approach and use the VASI glide slope in place of the electronic glide slope.  \nC. The pilot must request an LOC approach, and may descend below the VASI atthe pilot`s discretion.  \nMetadata: ACSCode : IR.VI. B. K1  \n5.
