ifr proceduresFAA-published sample question (IRA, Aug 2021)
While performing a VFR practice instrument approach, Radar Approach Control assigns an altitude or heading that will cause you to enter the clouds. What action should you take?
A
Continue as directed.
B
Advise "unable" and remain clear of clouds.✓ Correct Answer
C
Deviate as needed; then rejoin the approach.
Explanation
AIM 4-3-22 states that even when ATC provides separation, pilots practicing approaches under VFR must comply with the basic VFR weather minimums of 14 CFR 91.155, and controllers instruct them to maintain VFR. If an assigned heading or altitude would take you into a cloud, tell ATC you are unable and stay clear of clouds; entering the cloud or deviating without telling ATC are both wrong.
