An aircraft having undergone an anti-icing procedure must be anti-icing fluid free at the latest when:
A

B
releasing the brakes in order to take-off.

An RMI slaved to a remote indicating compass has gone unserviceable and is locked on to a reading of 090°. The tail of the VOR pointer shows 135°. The available information from the VOR is:
A
Radial 135°, relative bearing unknown
B
Radial unknown, relative bearing 225°
C
Radial 315°, relative bearing unknown
D
Radial unknown, relative bearing 045°
A
Radial 135°, relative bearing unknown
Find the distance to the POINT OF SAFE RETURN (PSR). Given: maximum useable fuel 15000 kg, minimum reserve fuel 3500 kg, Outbound: TAS 425 kt, head wind component 30 kt, fuel flow 2150 kg/h, Return: TAS 430 kt, tailwind component 20 kt, fuel flow 2150 kg/h
A
1125 NM
B
1491 NM
C
1143 NM
D
1463 NM
A
1125 NM
O= 395 kts
H = 450 kts
E = fuel available/fuel flow
= (15000 - 3500) / 2150
= 11500/2150
= 5.349 hrs
Time to PSR = EH / (O + H)
= 5.349 x 450/(450 + 395)
= 2.85hrs
Distance to PSR = 395 x 2.85 =1125.75 nm

C
Being different from the standard atmosphere value
For an aircraft at an aerodrome with no stopway or clearway, the minimum length of the Take-off Run that must be available to satisfy the take-off requirements:
A
Must not be less than the gross take-off distance to 50 ft
B
Must not be less than 1.15 times the gross take-off distance to 50 ft
C
Must not be less than 1.25 times the gross take-off distance to 50 ft
D
Must not be less than 1.3 times the gross take-off distance to 50 ft
C
Must not be less than 1.25 times the gross take-off distance to 50 ft
A runway seems wet but does not appear shiny. It is considered to be:
A
contaminated
B
damp
C

B
damp
In the vicinity of an aerodrome of intended landing or used for take-off, the vertical position of aircraft shall be expressed in term of:
A
altitude above mean sea level at or below the transition altitude
B
flight level at or above the transition altitude
C
altitude above mean sea level at or above the transition altitude
D
flight level at or below the transition level
B
flight level at or above the transition altitude
The “Shoreline effect” on certain types of radio navigation is strongest when:
A
between FL100 an FL200
B
between FL210 an FL410
C
the angle between the shoreline and the flight path is 90°
D

You receive the following METAR: LSGG 0750Z 00000KT 0300 R05/0700N FG VV001 M02/M02 Q1014 NOSIG=
What will be the RVR at 0900 UTC?
A
300 m
B
The RVR is unknown, because the NOSIG does not refer to RVR
C
700 m
D
900 m
B
The RVR is unknown, because the NOSIG does not refer to RVR
NOSIG = No Significant Change, not to be confused with NSW (No Significant Weather).
NOSIG is an example of a TREND forecast which is appended to METARs at stations while a forecaster is on watch. NOSIG means that no significant change is expected to the reported conditions within the next 2 hours.
The RVR at 0750Z was 700m (R05/0700N). NOSIG does not mean RVR will not change at all. RVR may go up or down but there will be no significant change within the next 2 hours. Therefore, the RVR at 0900UTC is unknown.
