Answer 2

c. Approach Control office or the aerodrome Control Tower.

Question 3

3. What is the transition level?

a. The first available flight level above the transition altitude.
b. The highest flight level available below the transition altitude.
c. The top of the ATZ.
d. The level at which 1013 is set.

Answer 3

Question 4

4. When during the approach should the reported aerodrome altimeter setting be set?

a. When passing 3000 ft AMSL or 1000 ft AGL.
b. When passing the transition level.
c. When passing the transition altitude.
d. Within the transition layer.

Answer 4

Question 5

5. The vertical position of an aircraft at or below the transition altitude will be reported as:

a. flight level.
b. whatever the pilot chooses.
c. altitude.
d. height.

Answer 5

c. altitude.

Question 6

6. In the vicinity of an aerodrome that is going to be used by the aircraft, the vertical position of the aircraft shall be expressed as:

a. flight level at or below the transition level.
b. flight level at or below the transition altitude.
c. altitude above sea level at or below the transition altitude.
d. altitude above sea level at or above the transition altitude.

Answer 6

c. altitude above sea level at or below the transition altitude.

Question 7

7. The pilot of a departing aircraft flying under IFR shall change the altimeter setting from QNH to SPS when passing:

a. transition level.
b. when specified by ATC.
c. transition altitude.
d. transition layer.

Answer 7

c. transition altitude.

Question 8

8. Transition from altitude to flight level, and vice-versa, is done:

a. at transition level during the climbs and at transition altitude in the descent.
b. only at transition altitude.
c. only at transition level.
d. at transition altitude during the climbs and at transition level in the descent.

Answer 8

d. at transition altitude during the climbs and at transition level in the descent.

Question 9

9. During flight through the transition layer the vertical position of the aircraft should be reported as:

a. altitude above mean sea level during the climb.
b. flight level during descent.
c. either altitude above mean sea level or flight level during the climb.
d. altitude above mean sea level during descent.

Answer 9

d. altitude above mean sea level during descent.

Question 10

10. Whilst flying through the transition layer the vertical position of the aircraft should be reported as:

a. altitude.
b. height.
c. flight level.
d. it depends upon what is set on the altimeter.

Answer 10

d. it depends upon what is set on the altimeter.
