Pre-solo Knowledge Test (end of course) Flashcards
Which of the following statements is most correct with regards to noise abatement?
Sensitive areas should be avoided where possible and when safe to do so
Which of the following R/T calls is correct on the downwind leg on rwy 24 when a full stop landing is planned at an airfield attended by an air ground communication service?
Downwind
Whilst climbing out on the cross-wind leg of a left hand circuit, you notice an a/c about to join downwind. Which a/c has the right of way?
You have right of way
A glider enters the circuit whilst a powered a/c is on the downwind leg. Who has right of way?
The glider
Assuming no other instruction from ATC, what squawk MUST be used when flying in the circuit at an aerodrome that isn’t close to or inside controlled airspace (assuming the a/c is so equipped)?
7000
A go-around legally may only be initiated from a low approach. True or false?
False
Which of these statements best describes a correct legal procedure for a go-around where the a/c ahead is still on the rwy, or has decided to perform a touch and go?
Initiate the go-around; steer slightly to the dead-side of the rwy; climb to circuit height
On final approach, after you’ve called “final” on the radio, you notice another a/c beside you but slightly lower on the approach to the same rwy that hasn’t made any R/T call. Which a/c has right of way?
The a/c at the lower height
As a solo student pilot, who’s responsible for the flight?
The student pilot
On short final approach to land, a dog-walker suddenly appears into view crossing the rwy one third of the way down the rwy. What’s the best course of action?
Go-around
In the left had circuit on the downwind leg, you finally find yourself quite close behind another a/c flying at a similar speed to yourself. What’s the correct course of action to take?
Follow the a/c and wait for them to turn base leg. Delay your base leg turn to increase the separation distance
In the event of an emergency, what’s the correct R/T procedure to adopt?
Make an emergency call on the current frequency
As you cross the threshold on an approach to land at an airfield with an AGCS ATSU, the preceding a/c is still on the rwy at the distant end. Can you still land?
No
A student pilot on a solo circuit detail hears “PAN PAN, PAN PAN, PAN PAN” from an a/c in the overhead at the same airfield whilst the student is on base leg. What’s the best course of action for the student to take?
Initiate a go-around and remain in the circuit, avoiding the other a/c which has absolute priority
As a student pilot, at an airfield with an AGCS ATSU, you line up on the rwy behind a landing a/c. When may you take off?
When you consider it safe to do so with enough room between you and the landing a/c
A student pilot must’ve completed 3 take-offs and landings in the previous 90 days before solo flight. True or false?
False
A student pilot may fly solo (without an instructor) and operate the radio even though the written communications exam hasn’t been passed. True or false?
True
During a circuit at an uncontrolled airfield, you lose all communications facilities. What’s the best course of action to take?
Continue with a normal circuit to land
Which document contains the official aviation sunset times?
The AIP
A student pilot may take one passenger on a solo flight providing the instructor has authorised the flight. True or false?
False
Whilst taxiing on the ground, you meet an a/c taxiing in the opposite direction. How do you pass each other?
Both a/c should turn to the right to pass
On final approach, 500ft must be maintained over any person, vessel, vehicle, building or structure. True or false?
False
Whilst you’re taxiing on the ground, another a/c is passing from right to left. Which a/c has the right of way, and what’s the required action?
The passing a/c has right of way, you should turn to the right to pass behind it
A student pilot may fly solo without a current medical. True or false?
False
