aircraft in an air taxi service a pilot must have completed
Ans: a PPC, ground and flight training initially and in the
last year.
While operating under air taxi rules may a pilot carry
passengers in a single-engine aircraft during IFR or night
VFR? Ans: Only if authorized in the AOC and complies
with the Commercial air standards.
Flight crew member qualifications for air taxi services are
Ans: a valid CPL or ATPL and proper ratings.
IncorrectSEE CARS 703.88
3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days.
a valid PPC or competency check, and ground and flight
training.
An air taxi operator must conduct emergency training
procedures Ans: initially and annually.

If a pilot is suffering from the effects of fatigue that pilot
shall Ans: . not fly as a flight crew member.
Pilots operating at an uncontrolled aerodrome at which
no ground station exists should report on Ans: 123.2
MHz.
Found on a VFR navigation chart is CYR 513 (M) 5000 to
7000 CONT 7000 to 9000 OCNL BY NOTAM, which means
a restricted Ans: irspace, not allowed to fly through,
continuously from 5 000 to 7 000 feet ASL and
occasionally by NOTAM from 7 000 to 9 000 feet ASL.
The minimum VFR weather requirements to enter an
airway is Ans: An airway is Class E which is controlled
airspace. VFR then must meet controlled airspace
weather minimum even though VFR is not controlled
while in Class E airspace (in this case an airway).
The correct answer is: 3 miles visibility, 1 mile horizontal
from cloud and 500 feet below cloud.
When is refueling of an air taxi flight not permitted with
passengers on board? Ans: When the pilot-in-command
is not available to monitor the fueling
When departing from an aerodrome in the standard
pressure region Ans: takeoff with the current altimeter
setting and then set to 29.92 in Hg before leveling off.

at destination must be forecast to exist . . . . . before to . .

. . . after the ETA when using a GFA (if no TAF exists).
Ans: 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 hour, 3 hours
Where a MEL has been approved for an operator of an
aircraft and equipment on that list becomes
unserviceable Ans: takeoff is allowed if the aircraft is
operated in accordance with any conditions stated in the
MEL
Average cabin pressure altitude is 11 000 feet ASL and
the aircraft type certificate allows for flight above FL250.
What is the oxygen requirements for an emergency
descent from 20 000 feet ASL for 45 minutes following a
depressurization of a pressurized aircraft operated in an
air transport service with 20 passengers? Ans: In this
question there are a few points to consider...
1. The aircraft is pressurized so we are looking at the
table (Slide 20) for pressurized aircraft.
2. The aircraft is used in an air transport service and so
we cannot have less than 30 minutes supply of oxygen.
We must know if the aircraft's type certificate allows it to
fly at altitudes exceeding FL250 and if so the crew must
have at least 2 hours supply.
3. With cabin pressure altitude of 11 000 feet we require
oxygen for the entire duration of flight exceeding 30
minutes between 10 000 and 13 000 feet for the crew and
10% of the passengers. This is 45 minutes for the 2
passengers.

The correct answer is: Oxygen for 45 minutes for 2
passengers and 2 hours for all crew members.
What are the requirements for an aerial work service or
an air taxi service carrying an external load such as a
banner, mounted photography equipment, or a canoe?
Ans: It must be authorized in a supplemental type
certificate or in an airworthiness approval
When operating in an air taxi service which is true Ans:
An aeroplane must be at least 1 000 feet above any
obstacle within a 3 mile radius at night
When operating in an air taxi or aerial work service which
is true? Ans: A. A crop duster is not allowed to disperse
product at night unless authorized in AOC.
B. An aerial work operator shall not operate a single
engine aircraft at night in VFR OTT or IFR unless
authorized in AOC.
C. VFR OTT must be specifically authorized in the AOC
for an air taxi service.
Which is true with regards to air taxi and aerial work
services? Ans: The COM must be in each aircraft or given
to each crew member and the SOP must be in each
aircraft
When flying NORDO in a control zone a steady green
light directed to an aircraft in the air means . . . . . and on
