CPL test questions Flashcards
what is the minimum in flight visibility and separation from cloud above 3000ft in class G airspace?
1500 metres clear of cloud, 1000ft vertically clear of cloud, 5km visibility
what is the minimum in flight visibility and separation from cloud for VFR flight below 3000ft and below 140IAS in class G airspace?
1500 metres visibility, clear of cloud and in sight of the ground (5 km if above 140 knots)
what is the minimum in flight visibility and separation from cloud for VFR flight above 3000ft in class D airspace?
5km visibility, 1500m horizontally clear of cloud and 1000ft vertically clear of cloud.
what is the minimum in flight visibility and separation from cloud for VFR flight below 3000ft and below 140IAS in class D airspace?
5km visibility, clear of cloud and in sight of the ground.
what is the UK low flying rule with regard to failure of a power unit?
an aircraft shall not fly at a height where an emergency landing in the event of a power failure would not be made without causing danger to persons or property on the surface
what is the 500ft rule?
except with written permission from the CAA, an aircraft shall not be flown closer than 500ft to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure
what is the 1000ft rule?
except with the written permission of the CAA, an aircraft over a congested area of a city town or settlement shall not fly lower than 1000ft above the highest fixed obstacle within a horizontal radius of 600 metres of the aircraft
what is the land clear rule?
an aircraft flying over a congested area of a city, town or settlement shall not fly below such height as would permit the aircraft to land clear in the event of power unit failure
what is the rule regarding overflying open air assemblies?
except with written permission from the CAA, an aircraft shall not overfly an open air assembly of more than 1000 people below either 1000 feet or a height at which a land clear could be Mae in event of engine failure
what are the rules regarding landing or taking off new open air assemblies?
an aircraft shall not take off within 1000m of an open air assembly of 1000 people unless at an aerodrome pr at a landing site (with permission from the CAA and permission from the event organiser)
where are performance planning rules for the FTO’s aircraft on a public transport flight?
Ops manual Part C
what is L3’s asymmetric committal height?
200ft above runway elevation
what configuration is assumed for landing distance calculations?
power idle, gear down, flaps LDG
where is the list of documents which need to be carried on a public transport flight found?
air navigation order schedule 10/EU ops subpart B
what is the significance of the yellow arc on an ASI?
represents the cautionary range of airspeed which can only be entered in still air.
what does a turn coordinator measure and how is it displayed?
shows the rate of turn and how balanced the aircraft is within that turn (slipping or skidding)
where are the privileges of the EASA CPL found?
Part FCL annex 1 subpart d section 1
what are the privileges of a CPL?
- exercise all the privileges of a PPL/LAPL
- act as PIC or CO-PILOT in any aircraft except in commercial air transport
- act as pic in a single pilot aircraft in commercial air transport subject to FCL.060
- act as co-pilot in commercial air transport subject to FCL.060
In which document can you find rules regarding perf planning on a public transport flight?
EU OPS Subpart H Perf class B- 1.525
what is PEC and when should it be applied?
pressure error correction applies to altimeter errors that can occur in the approach configuration. this constitutes an addition to the DA/MDA
what is PEC on the DA42?
0ft
flying a QFE approach, what should be set on the second altimeter?
regional pressure or airfield QNH (particularly important when overflying a MATZ as controllers can forget to give you new RPS)
where are the ATO’s rules on altimeter settings found?
IR Manual/OPS manual/CPL manual
why do we set 1013 on the PFD but QNH on the standby altimeter?
to ensure MSA clearance and assist with minimum flight levels
