IREX Q......IFR Pick Up Procedure??? Plse Help!
Hey Guy's 
I have a sample IREX question that I can't find the answer for
Can anyone help?
Question:
An IFR aircraft for which an IFR pick up procedure has been approved
A, must obtain an airways clearance before entering class E airspace
B, must obtain an airways clearance before entering class D airspace
C, may enter class C in IMC or VMC without a clearance
D, Will be given sep[aration from other aircraft by ATC while operating within class E airspace
Also just a breif description of what a pick up procedure is and when it is used would be most helpful

Answer D
An IFR Pickup essentially allows entry into Class E airspace whilst awaiting an airways clearance (due ATS/ATC workload etc)
Pilots of IFR aircraft accept responsibility in VMC for separation whilst continuing to receive TI and FIS. ATC will issue a clearance(eventually) and provide a full separation service once it is practical to do so.
If a higher class of airspace is rqd then a clearance will be needed as per usual
IFR Pickup
is a good resource. Forget the AIP/Jepp reference sorry.
Very easy procedure..just remember its essentially a pending clearance.
Hope this helps
