Questions regarding published answers in Air Law

User 439 · 2011-10-20T01:02:36Z

G'day Bob, I have a couple of questions regarding some asnwers that are given in Air Law issue 12 (July 2011). The questions I am refering to are on page 2.21. Question 12: Which item is always to be carried on a single engine aircraft during an over water flight. The answer given is a) life jackets for all occupants CAO 20.11 para 5.1.1 (a) states that a life jacket [for each occupant] must only be carried in a single engine aircraft if the aircraft is flown a distance over water which is greater than would allow the aircraft to reach land with the engine inoperative. It is my understanding, then, that if you're over water and within safe gliding distance to land, there is no need for life jackets. Question 15: Which procedure is [i]recommended[/i] when flying in the circuit of a non-towered aerodrome? The answer given is d) maintain runway direction after take-off to at least 500ft AGL. AIP ENR 1.1 para 41.1.4 references CAR 166A(2)(f)which states that "the pilot must maintain the same track from the take-off until the aircraft is 500ft AGL." My understanding would be that, since the term 'must' was used, it is not recommended and rather enforced. Thanks in advance for your time! Cheers, Daniel

Good find, Jimbo! It's funny the things that randomly pop up at the right time.

Has anyone got any good ways to study for this exam? I've already been through the text and done all the questions and everything in there but I'm still nervous. I just keep thinking what if they ask something in a different way to what I'm used to or ambiguously.

Any help would be great! Cheers!

Also, is radio telephony examined in the flight rules exam?

Did the exam today and passed with 98%! I got one question wrong regarding classifying operations. I was surprised at how alike the questions in the exam were to the questions given in the text book! It was great!

Well done! Great work. And there you were feeling nervous. Ha! You nailed that exam mate?

(sorry to have missed you other posts too. Mind you, looks like you didn't need them answering anyway! B)

Cheers,

Rich

Thanks, Rich! It was crazy though. With some of the questions, it was like the examiners got lazy and just stole them out of the text book. It was fantastic. It was just like "huh, I did this question yesterday!"

Now on to AGK! =)
