Q

You operation today will require departing with 400m RVR. With a unserviceable right thrust reverser. What affect will this have?

A

Departure is not permitted whilst low vis procedures are in force.
Require serviceable, Anti-Skid, Thrust Reversers and Braking Systems

Q

What is the speed limit for IFR aircraft in Class C airspace not associated with a SID or STAR?

A

No restrictions

17
Q

During the conduct of a STAR with published speeds, and ATC short-cut tracking what restrictions apply?

A

Only where the aircraft re-joins the STAR

18
Q

What is the lower limit for Class E airspace for the greater percentage of Aus?

A

FL125

19
Q

What speed limitations exist for aircraft operating in Class D?

A

200kts at or below 2500ft within 4nn of the Class D aerodrome
250kts in the remaining Class D

20
Q

IFR aircraft conducting SIDs or STARs in Class C are normally required to fly a max of 250kts below 10000ft where is this published?

A

On the SID or STAR chart

21
Q

ATC authorise a visual approach by day, what requirements must you comply with?

A

When within 30nm, clear of cloud, in sight of ground or water, not less than 5km Vis and not below the min altitudes permitted by VFR flight and within the controlled airspace

22
Q

ATC authorise a visual approach at night, what requirements must you adhere to?

A

Clear of cloud, in sight of ground or water, vis not less than 5km, Alt not less than LSALT/MSA or appropriate step of DME/GNSS arrival or 500 above the lower limit of CTA.

23
Q

During the conduct of a visual approach by night, when can you leave the minimum altitude required?

A
  • In the prescribed circling area (4.2nm)
  • Within 5nm estabilished on PAPI, 7nm if the Rwy has an ILS.
  • Within 10nm if within fullscale of the LOC, and not below G/S (14nm at Syd 34L, 16L)
24
Q

When a pilot reports visual to ATC, what are you doing/asking for?

A

Satisfied that the requirements of a visual approach can be maintained and wishes to carry out a visual approach can report ‘visual’

25
Q

When conducting an ILS, in regards to tolerance at what point must a missed approach be carried out?

A

At any point after the FAF the Loc or GS indicates Full-Scale

To ensure obstacle clearance Glide slope should be maintained within half scale.

26
Q

During the conduct of an RNP 1 SID/STAR - What is the limitation for cross track error?

A

1/2 the Nav accuracy (0.5NM for RNP 1)

Note: Allowance is given during turns for brief excursions

27
Q

The VOR at your destination has a NOTAM indicating maintenance for greater than 7days, what affect will this have?

A

Special Alternate weather will not be available.

28
Q

Shortly after Takeoff you have a com-Failure, what are your actions?

A

Sqwark 7600
Maintain vector for 2mins
Climb to MSA
Proceed in accordance with route clearance. And phone ATC unit on chart.

29
Q

You are radar vectored below LSAT by ATC - notice no radio transmissions for a while, what do you do?

A

Radio Calls should be every 30 seconds - Climb to MSA.

30
Q

When planning a night flight to a PAL aerodrome, what requirements are there?

A

Provision must be made for an alternate unless a responsible person is in attendance.

31
Q

When the departure aerodrome is closed for landings, an adequate aerodrom must be available within how many NM?

A

Was 380nm, now 350nm with latest rule change.

32
Q

What are the flight planning requirements for RA 1, 2 and 3?

A

RA1 - Pilots may flight plan through and under normal circumstances expect clearance through

RA 2 - Pilots must not plan through unless on an approved route, however clearance not assured.

RA 3 - Pilots must not plan through, and clearances not available.
