  1. Question 1 · Instrument Rating

    (Refer to FAA-CT-8080-3F, Figures 174 and 175.) When DFW is landing to the north, at CURLE, expect

    • A.to be instructed to maintain 200 knots.
    • B.to fly a course of 010°.
    • C.radar vectors.
    Show answer and explanation

    Correct: C. radar vectors.

    The Glen Rose Nine arrival description (Figure 175) says: all aircraft landing north proceed to CURLE INT and expect vectors to the final approach course. The 010 degree heading from CURLE applies to non-turbojets when DFW is landing south, and the speed notes on Figure 174 (210 or 250 KIAS) apply to turbojets at DELMO and FEVER, not at CURLE.
