Chapter 4.3 - Exam Review

Question 1

When two Aircraft are approaching head on and there is a danger of collision, each must alter heading to the (right/left)?

Answer 1

Right.

Question 2

When overtaking another Aircraft, you must (climb above it/pass it on its right)?

Answer 2

Pass it on its right.

Question 3

Two Aircrafts are on converging headings at approximately the same height. To avoid collision, what action should be taken?

Answer 3

The Aircraft which has the other on its right must give way by altering it’s heading to the right.

Question 4

When two powered Aircraft are on approach to land, the (higher/lower) on has right of way?

Answer 4

Lower.

Question 5

Which Aircraft has the right of way – one is landing or one that is taxiing prior to takeoff?

Answer 5

Landing.

Question 6

Two Aircraft are approaching to land on the same runway. The higher Aircraft declares an emergency. Which Aircraft has right of way to land first?

Answer 6

The Aircraft with the emergency.

Question 7

True or False. When operating under VFR, a Pilot must be able to conduct the flight by visual reference to the ground or water when flying at or below 2000ft AGL?

Answer 7

True.

Question 8

To maintain VMC when flying at 8000ft AMSL in Class G Airspace, what must be the minimum horizontal distance or separation from cloud?

Answer 8

1500m.

Question 9

A landing at base aerodrome for a flight by day under VFR must be at least (10/30) minutes before last light?

Answer 9

10mins.

Question 10

True or False. Without approval of CASA, a dropping site must not be in a control zone, within a lane of entry, or within 5 miles of a licenced aerodrome?

Answer 10

True.

Question 11

Unless otherwise directed by ATC at a controlled aerodrome or unless an earlier turn is necessitated by the proximity of the terrain, Aircraft must maintain takeoff heading until (500ft/1500ft) above terrain?

Answer 11

500ft.

Question 12

For VMC to exist in any type of Airspace (below 10,000ft AMSL), the flight visibility must be (1500/5000) metres?

Answer 12

5000m.

Question 13

True or False. Disregarding the reduced VMC minima applying to VFR flights (with VFR radio) at or below 3000ft AMSL or 1000ft above terrain (whichever is higher), for Aircraft to maintain VMC below 10,000ft AMSL in Class G Airspace, the vertical distance from cloud must be either 1000ft above or below?

Answer 13

True.

Question 14

What is the reading on the subscale if an Aircraft’s Altimeter is set to indicate aerodrome elevation?

Answer 14

Local QNH.

Question 15

When descending from cruise at 6000ft, at what point should you change the Altimeter setting from Area QNH to Local QNH for Landing?

Answer 15

Top of descent.

Question 16

True or False. With 1013.2 hPa set on the subscale, an Aircraft’s Altimeter will indicate ‘pressure height’ or ‘flight level’?

Answer 16

True.

Question 17

Unless directed otherwise by ATC or specified in ERSA FAC, when operating on or near aerodromes, all turns must be made to the (left/right)?

Answer 17

Left.

Question 18

Unless it is not practicable or you have been directed otherwise by ATC, all takeoffs and landings should be made (downwind/into-wind)?

Answer 18

Into-Wind.

Question 19

The elevation of a non-towered aerodrome (left-hand circuit) is 240ft. When are you permitted to make a turn contrary to circuit direction to set heading after takeoff in a Single-Engine piston Aircraft?

Answer 19

3NM from the end of the departure runway.

Question 20

An Aircraft with a MTOW below 2000kg has just taken off from a 1500 metre runway at a non-controlled aerodrome. Your Aircraft also has a MTOW below 2000kg. You may takeoff when the other Aircraft has become airborne and is at least (1800m/600m) ahead of the proposed lift-off point?

Answer 20

600m.

Question 21

Unless exempt due to stress of weather or other conditions as laid down in the CARs, an Aircraft must not fly lower than (500ft/1000ft) above ground level over cities, towns or other populated areas, and not lower than (500ft/1000ft) AGL over any other area?

Answer 21

• 1000ft.

- 500ft.

Question 22

Smoking is prohibited within (5/15) metres of an Aircraft being refuelled?

Answer 22

15 metres.

Question 23

For what period immediately prior to departure must flight crew abstain from drinking alcohol?

Answer 23

8 Hours.
