Q

During a Visual Approach, except when on a STAR, the Pilot must maintain track/heading on the route progressively authorised by ATC until?

A

By day, within 5nm of the aerodrome; or by night, the aerodrome is in sight and the aircraft is within; the prescribed circling area for IFR flight; or 3nm of the aerodrome for a VFR flight.

17
Q

Unless departing on a SID or otherwise instructed by ATC, when must a pilot establish flight on the outbound track?

A

As soon as practicable and within 5nm of the aerodrome

18
Q

What is the take-off minima for the aircraft used by Police Airwing?

A

Ceiling of 300ft and visibility of 2000m

19
Q

An approach is conducted into an aerodrome with a straight in MDA of 550ft (AMSL) and a circling MDA of 880ft (AMSL). During the approach you become clear of cloud at 750ft, however you see high on the approach and unable to land on the straight in runway using normal rates of descent. What is the correct course of action?

A

Conduct the published missed approach

20
Q

An aerodrome forecast for the destination and alternate aerodromes, must be valid for a period of not less than?

A

30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the planned ETA

21
Q

When a flight is required to provide for an alternate aerodrome, any aerodrome may be nominated provided?

A

It is suitable as a destination for that flight, and is not an aerodrome for which that flight would require to provide for an alternate aerodrome.

22
Q

A DME/GNSS arrival is being conducted into an aerodrome with only a VOR radio navigation aid. Enroute the radion navigation aid fails. Can a DME/GNSS arrival still be conducted?

A

No

23
Q

After departing Jandakot for Kalgoorlie, you are cleared to FL180 and direct to RAVON thence Flight Planned Route. As you approach the cleared level you realise the radios are not working. What is the correct course of action?

A

Squawk 7600, continue as per flight planned route, level out at FL180 for 3 minutes, then climb to your flight planned level and continue to Kalgoorlie as cleared

24
Q

Whilst visually circling at an aerodrome for landing you lose sight of the runway. Which of the following describes the appropriate action to be taken?

A

The pilot will make an initial climbing turn toward the landing runway and overhead the airport, where the pilot will establish the aircraft climbing on the missed approach track.

25
Q

MDA is the specified altitude in a?

A

2D or Circling approach below which descent must not be made without the required visual reference

26
Q

What are the minimum requirements for single pilot IFR?

A

1 Single Pilot IFR flight in the previous 6 months of at least 1hr, with 1 instrument approach.

27
Q

The holder of an instrument rating is authorised to pilot a. Aircraft

A

Under IFR and at night under the VFR

28
Q

The alternate minima for a IFR aircraft tracking to an aerodrome for which no instrument approach is published is?

A

LSALT for the last route segment plus 500ft and visibility of 8km

29
Q

During a circling approach, at which point must the pilot conduct a missed approach?

A

The pilot loses sight of the approach threshold, or approach lighting, or other markings identifiable with the runway.

30
Q

What is the Max speed for a CAT B aircraft in a missed approach?

A

150kts

31
Q

What is the maximum holding speed up to and including FL140 for CAT B aircraft?

A

230kts, or 170kts for holding where the approach is limited to CAT A and CAT B aircraft only.
