The departure phase of an IFR flight is where preparation pays off.

Small misunderstandings during this phase can quickly compound into larger problems.
This month’s quiz tests your knowledge of IFR departures, from obstacle departure procedures and standard instrument departures to departure clearances and real-world ATC expectations. These five questions highlight situations that instrument pilots encounter regularly, helping you identify any weak spots before your next flight. See how many you can answer correctly, then use the explanations to sharpen your departure briefing and cockpit workflow.
