Have filed an IFR flight plan and received ATC clearance

What are the magnetic headings for IFR flights above FL 410 that would have 4000 ft intervals starting at FL 450?

Back 26

000º to 179º

Front 27

Can a ATC suggest a pilot conduct SVFR operations?

Back 27

No the pilot must request special VFR but ATC does issue a clearance

Front 28

What are the magnetic headings for IFR flights above FL 410 that would have 4000 ft intervals starting at FL 430?

Back 28

180º to 359º

Front 29

What Flight Levels are excluded above FL 410?

Back 29

Even FL’s because 2000 ft is required to separate aircraft.

Front 30

What are the IFR communication requirements for Pilots?

Back 30

Must maintain continuous listening watch on appropriate frequency.

Report Passing designated reporting points (except when under radar control not required unless requested by ATC)

Report unforcasted weather conditions

Report any info related to flight safety

Front 31

What is a pilot to do if radio failure occurs in VFR Conditions?

Back 31

The pilot shall remain in VFR conditions and land as soon as practicable

Front 32

What is a pilot to do if radio failure occurs in IMC with respect to Route?

Back 32

A - maintain ATC assigned route

V - if aircraft is radar vectored pilot should proceed by direct route to he fix, route, or airway specified in vector clearance

E - if ATC has not assigned a route but gave an expected route. The pilot shall proceed on the expected route
