after completing initial training
In terms of duty time, how does required travelling for the purpose of position affect the pilots
duty time? - ANS ✔✔If the time for positioning is required after completion of a flight and is in
excess of the flight crew member's max duty time then an additional rest period of at least
equal to half of the time spent travelling is required.
What is the definition of a large aircraft? - ANS ✔✔An Aircraft with a MCTOW of 12,566lbs or
more
What airspace is a transponder required? - ANS ✔✔Class A, B, C, and any D or E airspace that is
specified as transponder alirspace in the Designated Airspace Handbook
When you're on an IFR flight plan and your ETA changes by more than than you_______ have to
advise ATC - ANS ✔✔3 Minutes
A Flight crew member in a 704 or 705 operation requires __________rest period(s) of at least
36 consecutive hours within each period of ___________consecutive days or one period of at
least ________ calendar days within each consecutive days. - ANS ✔✔1 rest period in 7
consecutive days
3 calendar days in 17 consecutive days
,A turbo -jet aircraft or turbofan aircraft with a MCTOW of 12,566 pounds or more operating
under Part VII operations must have a ________ in order to legally take-off. - ANS ✔✔A third
standby attitude indicator
What is the rule for lowest usable flight levels and altimeter setting? - ANS ✔✔29.92" or Higher
- FL180 Lowest Usable
29.91" to 28.92" - FL190 Lowest Usable
28.91" to 27.92" - FL200 Lowest Usable
How long does an air operator have to keep a copy of an operational flight plan, including all
and any amendments? - ANS ✔✔Not less than 90 days
What is the maximum distance that can be flown in an informal operational flight plan - ANS
✔✔25nm or less
When calculating the landing distance required to dispatch an aircraft, you may account for no
more than _________of the headwind and no less than ________of the tailwind. - ANS ✔✔50%
150%
How do you calculate how many flight attendants that are required for a flight? - ANS ✔✔1
Flight Attendant per 40 Passengers or for each portion of such a unit.
1) 1- 40 Passengers = 1 Flight Attendant
2) 41-80 Passengers = 2 Flight Attendants
3) 81+ Passengers = 1 Flight Attendant per 40 group of passengers.
i.e 155 Passengers would only be 4 because it "broke into" the next group of 40.
OR
1 Flight Attendant per 50 Passengers or for each each portion of such a unit.
, Depends on what the Air Operator selects as ration in respect of the aeroplane model.
A pilot working in a 705 operation must completed how many hours upon the completion of a
PPC? - ANS ✔✔75 hours in 90 days
In order to be eligble to act as PIC of an aircraft in a 705 operation on a particular route or into a
particular aerodome, they must have completed what? (2 Options) - ANS ✔✔1) Acted as a flight
crew member on the flight deck or as an observer within the last 12 months along that
particular route or into that particular aerodrome, or
2) Have received the required training and demonstrated adequate knowledge
How do you calculate the first aid kit requirements? - ANS ✔✔1) 0-50 = 1 Kit
2) 51-150 = 2 kits
3) 151-250 = 3 kits
4) 251+ = 4 kits
If issued a speed change, then you are required to maintain that speed to: - ANS ✔✔+/- 10 KIAS
What is the maximum flight duty time for a pilot on call? - ANS ✔✔100 hours in 30 days
