Responsibilities of the commander
Be compliant with rules of air unless absolutely necessary to do so
Study all weather reports
Has final authority as of the disposition of the aircraft
What is the max intoxication level
0.2 promise (20mgs/100ml)
When approaching an aircraft head on how should you avoid conflict
Turn to the right
Head on = within 20° either side of nose
2 aircraft of same type are converging
Give way to the right
Order of priority with aircraft
F lying machines
A air ships
G gliders
B balloons
What is the over taking position
Within 70° either side of the tail
= will see white light
If you can see 2 coloured lights what does this mean
Head on
What is a manoeuvring area
Everywhere except aprons and maintenance
What is a movement area
Everywhere including aprons and maintenance
When should aircraft lights be illuminated
Sunset to sunrise:
When moving on the movement area nav lights should be on
On the movement area aircraft should display lights at their extremities unless stationary and otherwise illuminated
On engine start
When can simulated IMC take place
If dual controls are fitter
Qualified pilot occupies a control seat as safety pilot
= does not need to be type rated
If safety pilot doesn’t have adequate all round vision = a competent observer can be used
Only in VMC
When do you need a flight plan
Any IFR flight within advisory airspace
Any flight across international borders
When should a flight plan be submitted
60 mins prior to departure to a ATS reporting office
In air:
At least 10 min before estimated to reach CAS or crossing an airway
When are changes to a flight plan to be reported for IFR or VFR operates as controlled flight
As soon as practical
What counts as a significant change in flight plan
Regarding fuel and endurance and POB
When can a repetitive flight plan be filled
Operated:
Same day(s) of consecutive weeks and on at least 10 occasions
Everyday over at least 10 consecutive days
When does a flight plan close
On receipt of an arrival report
