Great quiz! What’s the correct answer for the final question???
Only the missed approach waypoint (RWY 30). It has the circle around the 4-pointed star.
Hi John. Either the answers to the question are listed incorrectly, or the provided picture for the plate we are supposed to be looking at is the incorrect plate. The answers are listing waypoints that do not exist on the provided picture of the plate, and none of the other answers work, either.
In addition, all four of the possible choices provide a ‘Wrong!’ response, including ‘Missed Approach Only.’
Sorry about that! It’s fixed now.
The picture is incorrect- flyby waypoint -circle missing
Not being so use to Gov’t Charts, but that being said, you could say ? that the “missed app”, IS a “flyover”, because of the circle around it, BUT, it has NO 5-letter WPT identifier??
Hey John, great quiz. As I’m just preparing for FAA IR FP the questions seemed familiar to me ,-) Last question also worked for me…
Got 9 out of 9. Thanks for the quiz. But don’t worry. I know that a good pilot NEVER stops learning.
I enjoyed taking this quiz. With all the time I have flying for small regional airlines, I never did an RNAV (GPS) approach. I’ll have to get some sim time and try a couple.
Great revision!
That was fun; Thanks.
Great addition to Air Facts. Please do more.
The last question answer is less obvious when you can’t expand the chart view.
Thanks for chipping of some of my rust..

The first question, the identifier for Elkhart is KEKM not KGEZ.
Great Quiz. Give us more.
Great quiz. A good refresher for those who have that very valuable IFR rating, and a good learning tool for those who do not. Thanks.
Fun quiz. Got any more?
two comments:
1) WIBMU is not the same as WIMBU
2) while the circle star definition is correct, this definition of “fly over waypoint” comes from the FAA: “Fly-over waypoints are used when the aircraft must fly over the point prior to starting a turn.” The link can be found here: http://tfmlearning.fly.faa.gov/publications/atpubs/aim/Chap1/aim0102.html
The only turns in this procedure are designated as AJCIZ and AGHAN.
Your last question asked for flyover waypoints. The correct answer was the first one. If you had asked for the missed approach point, the correct answer would be the third one!
You need to revise your question or change your answer!
Great quiz thanks a lot : Great to have these little quizzes to stay fresh when you have a spare 10 minutes. More please. Much appreciated.
