Where can the type of restriction for a restricted airspace be found?
Show solution
The type of restriction is found in the AIP, which provides official and detailed information about all airspaces. ICAO charts only show location, AIC and NOTAMs provide temporary or supplementary info, but not the basic type of restriction.
What is the status of the rules and procedures created by the EASA? (e.g. Part-SFCL, Part-MED)
Show solution
EASA rules are part of EU regulation and are directly binding in all EU member states. They do not require individual ratification. The other options are incorrect because they either misrepresent the status or claim the rules are not binding.
Which validity does the "Certificate of Airworthiness" have?
Show solution
The Certificate of Airworthiness is valid unlimited, as long as the aircraft meets maintenance requirements. 6 months, 12 months, or 12 years are incorrect because there is no fixed time limit.
What is the meaning of the abbreviation "ARC"?
Show solution
'Airworthiness Review Certificate' is correct because ARC is the certificate confirming an aircraft's airworthiness. The other options refer to airspace rules or are not related to ARC in aviation.
The "Certificate of Airworthiness" is issued by the state...
Show solution
The Certificate of Airworthiness is issued by the state in which the aircraft is registered, as this state is responsible for its airworthiness. The country of manufacture, owner's residence, or review location are not relevant for issuance.
Under which circumstances are aircraft obliged to carry the national flag?
Show solution
Aircraft must carry the national flag on every flight, as this is an international requirement. It is not limited to international flights or flights outside the EU. Saying it is not necessary is incorrect.
What is necessary in terms of PART-FCL after differences training for helicopters?
Show solution
After differences training for helicopters, the flight instructor must sign the pilot's logbook or an equivalent document to confirm completion. The other options are incorrect: no application, written exam, or solo flight order is required by the authority.
What is the period of validity of a private pilot license (PPL)?
Show solution
The private pilot license (PPL) itself is valid unlimited. However, medical certificates and ratings must be renewed regularly. The other answers are incorrect as they refer to validity of ratings, not the license itself.
What are the minimum requirements among others to acquire a rating for VFR night flights?
Show solution
Correct: At least 5 flight hours at night, 3 with an instructor, at least 1 hour cross-country, and 5 solo take-offs and full-stop landings. Other answers require too many hours, too many solo landings, or too many instructor flights, so they are incorrect.
The validity of a medical examination certificate class 2 for a 62 years old pilot is...
Show solution
For pilots aged 60 and above, a class 2 medical certificate is valid for only 12 months. The other options are incorrect as they apply to younger pilots or different certificate classes.
To which privileges are you entitled by holding a private pilot license (PPL) with an endorsed type rating for helicopters?
Show solution
The correct answer is: to conduct non-commercial flights with passengers, provided the pilot-in-command has carried out at least three take-offs and landings within the last 90 days. PPL holders are not allowed to conduct commercial flights or work as flight instructors in commercial schools.
What is the minimum age for a PPL(A/H) student pilot for the first solo flight?
Show solution
The minimum age for a first solo flight in PPL(A/H) training is 16 years. Younger than 16 is not allowed, and 17 or 18 years are too high. 21 years is much too old for this requirement.
What is the meaning of the abbreviation "SERA"?
Show solution
'Standardized European Rules of the Air' is correct because SERA refers to harmonized European air traffic rules. The other options mention radar or routes, which are unrelated to air traffic regulations.
What is the meaning of the abbreviation "TRA"?
Show solution
'TRA' means 'Temporary Reserved Airspace'. This is an airspace reserved for a limited time. The other options are incorrect because they refer to different types of airspace or unrelated terms.
What has to be considered when entering an RMZ?
Show solution
The correct answer is to permanently monitor the radio and, if possible, establish radio contact. Clearance to enter or from the authority is not needed, and setting the transponder to Mode C 7000 is not mandatory for RMZ.
What condition has to be met during a Special VFR flight?
Show solution
During a Special VFR flight, visual reference to the terrain is required so the pilot can navigate visually. The other options are incorrect: 2000 m cloud distance is not required, ground visibility of at least 500 m is not mandatory, and there is no specific 115 kt IAS speed limit.
What has to be done before entering a TMZ?
Show solution
Before entering a TMZ, the transponder must be switched on and set to mode A and C or mode S. The other options are incorrect: clearance or a flight plan is not required, and mode A with IDENT alone is not sufficient.
According to ICAO Annex 2, the term "aerodrome traffic" is defined as:
Show solution
Correct: All traffic on the manoeuvring area of an aerodrome and all aircraft flying in the vicinity of an aerodrome. This matches the ICAO definition. Other answers wrongly include the apron, exclude the circuit, or mention the control zone, which are not part of the definition.
A flight is called a "visual flight", if the...
Show solution
A flight is called a visual flight if it is conducted under visual flight rules. The other answers refer only to weather or visibility, which are requirements but not the definition of a visual flight.
Two engine-powered aircraft approach each other on opposite courses at approximately the same altitude. Which aircraft must take evasive action?
Show solution
Both must change course to the right, as aviation rules require aircraft approaching head-on to turn right. The other answers are incorrect: weight and climbing are irrelevant, and turning left is not the rule.
Two aeroplanes are flying on crossing tracks. Which one has to divert?
Show solution
The aircraft coming from the right has priority. According to aviation rules, the aircraft that sees the other from its right must give way. The other answers are incorrect because they reverse the rule or require both to divert, which is not correct.
Which of the following options is NOT a sufficient reason to fly below the required minimum height?
Show solution
Bad weather conditions near an aerodrome are not a sufficient reason to fly below the minimum height. Only take-off, landing, dropping towed objects, or approach without landing allow this. Weather does not justify flying lower.
Which distances to clouds have to be maintained during a VFR flight in airpaces C, D and E?
Show solution
The correct answer is '1500 m horizontally, 1000 ft vertically' because these are the required minimum distances to clouds in airspaces C, D, and E under VFR. The other options are incorrect as they state either too small or wrong values, not matching official regulations.
The minimum flight visibility at 5000 ft MSL in airspace B for VFR flights is...
Show solution
The correct answer is 5,000 m, as VFR flights in class B airspace require a minimum flight visibility of 5,000 m. 8,000 m applies to higher airspace, while 3,000 m and 1,500 m are too low and apply to other airspace or conditions.
What is the minimum flight visibility in airspace "E" for an aircraft operating under VFR at FL75?
Show solution
The correct answer is 5,000 m. In class E airspace above 3,000 ft AMSL or 1,000 ft AGL (such as FL75), VFR flights require at least 5,000 m visibility. 8,000 m is too high, 3,000 m and 1,500 m are too low and do not meet the regulations.
