Air Law Flashcards
Alcohol before departure?
Cannot consume ANY within 8 hours of departure of the aircraft and cannot consume ANY during the flight
Smoking?
Not permitted during take off, landing or refuling
Separation from other aircraft for take off?
Dont commence take off until aircraft have -crossed the upwind end of the runway (up to 1800m) or -commenced a turn or -if on a cross runway, has either crossed or stopped short of your runway -a preceeding landing aircraft has vacated and is taxiing away from the runway -for aircraft less than 2000kg, if the preceeding aircraft is airborne and >600M ahead
Turns opposite circuit direction onto your course at non towered aerodromes
If you have climbed straight ahead to “well outside the circuit area” or 3nm from aerodrome
Circuit height for jets, turbo props, or speed >150kts
1500ft AGL
Circuit height for speeds 55 - 150kts
1000ft AGL
Circuit height for ultralights, helicopters for speed <55kts
500ft AGL
Aerodrome markers - X
Total unserviceability if displaced at the signal circle or else parital if displayed over the unservicible area
Aerodrome markers - dumbells
Means hard surfaces only, i.e. after heavy rain where grass areas are soft and boggy
Aerodrome markers - ++
gliding operations are in progress
Right of way rules
aircraft on the right have right of way. aircraft approaching head on must both turn right a faster aircraft should over take by passing to the right a higher aircraft must give way to a lower aircraft an aircraft on the ground must give way to an aircraft on final approach
QNH means
Question Nil Height - ie the pressure at 0ft above mean sea level. Setting this in the altimeter gives you height above MSL
QFE means
The pressure at the airfield. If you set zero on the altimeter, the pressure window will read the QFE. The altimeter will then display the height above the field.
Solo limitations without having GFPT
circuits only untill 2hours solo circuits then within 10nm of aerodrome or in the local training area or the most direct route to or from the training area or for the purposes of cross country training along a route specified by the instructor.
Limits on consecutive hours for SPL without a dual check
3 hours if not passed a GFPT. 15hours if have passed
Recent experience requirements for Solo SPL
IF no GFPT then must have flown dual or solo in the last 30 days. For GFPT 90 days
SPL passengers?
if passed GFPT and within 10nm of aerodrome or in training area. NOT while practising emergency procedures or during low flying practice or flight testing.
