Progress Test 8 Flashcards
Airships give way to all other powered a/c. True or false?
False
What is the difference between the requirements of SERA.5005 1,000ft rule, and the 1,000ft part of the instrument flight rules (IFR)?
IFR is 1,000ft above the highest obstacle within 5nm horizontal radius of the a/c; SERA.5005 stipulates 1,000ft above the highest obstacle within 600m horizontal radius of the a/c over a congested area of a city, town or settlement
You approach to land using VFR over a congested built up area at a civil airfield outside of the published airfield hours. What low flying prohibition rules are you exempt from?
Both the 500ft and the 1,000ft rules
ATC clear you through a class D CTR on a SVFR flight with a clearance of “not above 900ft” over a built up area. Are you legal?
Only if you can comply with SERA.3105 (the ability for a landing to be made without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface)
What separation is required when flying near a gathering of more than 1,000 people when not taking off of landing, or performing a practice forced landing?
1,000ft height clearance whilst within 600m horizontally of the gathering
In a situation where two a/c are approaching head-on, which way shall both of them turn to avoid each other?
To the right
In a flight, you notice an a/c on a constant bearing on your right, travelling right to left (as you look at it). Who has the right of way, and what action is required by both a/c?
You must give way. Turn right and position to fly behind the other a/c. The other a/c must maintain course and speed
An overtaking situation exists when you’re at an angle of 80* of the tail of another a/c. True or false?
False
You fly at 100ft across open countryside in the UK due to a cloud base of 450ft. Which best describes the legal situation?
Legal providing you remain at least 500ft away from any person, vehicle, vessel or structure
Which is the most correct “explanation” of the “1,000ft low flying prohibition rule under VFR”
An a/c must remain above 1,000ft from the highest obstacle within a 600m horizontally radius of the a/c, when flying over a congested part of a city, town or settlement; unless at such a height as will permit, in the event of an emergency arising, a landing to be made without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface
Which reference below describes the “low flying” prohibitions?
SERA.5005
