17. How should an off-airway direct flight be defined on an IFR flight plan?
A. All radio fixes over which the flight will pass.
B. The initial fix, all radio fixes which the pilot wishes to be compulsory reporting points, and the final fix.
C. The initial fix, the true course, and the final fix.
 
 
18. What action(s) should a pilot take if vectored across the final approach course during an IFR approach?
 
 
 
19. While being vectored to the final approach course of an IFR approach, when may the pilot descend to published altitudes?
 
 
20. When is radar service terminated while vectored for an IFR approach at an uncontrolled airport?
A. When cleared for the approach.
B. Only upon landing or advised to change to advisory frequency.
C. When aligned on the final approach course.
 
 
 
21. When cleared for an IFR approach to an uncontrolled airport with no FSS, what precaution should the pilot take after being advised to change to advisory frequency?
