Hi All,
I have my Air Law Exam on Tuesday.
I would just like to clarify a few questions I have seen throughout Bob's book and also on the Exam Prep. In regards to Downwind Report.
One Question is:
Unless otherwise instructed a downwind report is mandatory prior to landing at an aerodrome which
- Is within CTAF
- Is within a control zone
- Does not provide an ATC service
- Is arriving or flying circuit training within class D control zone
The answer is within Class D however in the AIP 1.1 para 14.4 it does not actually state Class D. Also when I fly out of the Gold Coast it is also a requirement to report downwind. I just want to make sure I am not missing anything in the AIP.
Yes, downwind reports are now required at all CTRs. That question was originally written for the old GAAP aerodromes. I have amended it in the current version of the Air Law book and posted it on the errata page on our web site.
FYI, it looks like this question/answer still needs to be changed in the exam prep as I have just come across the same issue in practice exam #1, question 17.
Bob's post exam debrief states.
I'm glad the forum is available, and that I found this post, as it cleared up some confusion.
