Since Air Services have made yet another change without notice to the references in the AIP, some of the references in this book will need to be amended. The changes affect mostly Chapter 3 on flight planning and in particular the conditions that impose the requirement for planning an alternate.
For example a reference to AIP ENR 1.1 para 8.8.3.1 now becomes AIP ENR 1.1 para 11.8.3.1. Note that the first 8 becomes 11. Nothing else changes and there is no change to the actual text of the document. Wherever a reference says AIP ENR 1.1 para 8.8 followed by further digits indicating sub paragraphs, the change required is to the first 8. So the reference AIP ENR 1.1 para 8.8 becomes AIP ENR 1.1 para 11.8 followed by the same digits indicating sub paragraphs.
The changes will be included in the next print of the book.

Page 121, Question 3has been corrected. The answer is "2200 on the same day"
Question 3 Refer to CAO 48.1 instrument 2013.
The company you work for complies with the limits and requirements of Appendix 5. Your operator expects you to start a FDP at 0800 and at all of your intermediate stops, you will have access to suitable resting accommodation. If the operator schedules a 4 hour rest period during the FDP, and assuming no extensions or cumulative limits apply, what is the maximum permissible length of this FDP and when would you expect it to finish?
[a] 12 hours finishing at 2000 today.
[b] 12 hours finishing at midnight today
[c] 14 hours finishing at 2200 today.
[d] 14 hours finishing at 0200 tomorrow morning.
Answer: 14 hours finishing at 2200 today
Appendix 5 paragraph 2.2 states that if we have at least 4 hours at suitable resting accommodation, we can extend the FDP by 2 hours. Please note, the question said “resting” not “sleeping” accommodation. Table 5.1 says a FDP with a 0800 start time may be 12 hours long so we can extend that to 14 hours with the 4 hour rest period. So, we start a 14 hour FDP at 0800 and finish 14 hours later at 2200 that evening.

Page 108 Question 3 has been amended as follows.
Question 3:
Note: this question is well beyond the complexity to be expected in the exam. It acts only as an example of how the rules interact with each other.
Refer to CAO 48.1 instrument 2013. The company you work for complies with the limits and requirements of Appendix 4. Your FDP limits will be extended today by a split-duty and your boss needs you to work the full FDP period. You will start duty at 1530 local time, and you will have access to suitable sleeping accommodation for a minimum split-duty rest period. When can you expect to finish your FDP?
[a] 2030 tonight [b] 0630 tomorrow
[c] 0730 tomorrow [d] 0930 tomorrow
Answer: 0630 tomorrow
The FDP available for a 1530 start (without a split shift) is 9 hours (see CAO 48.1 Instrument 2013, Table 2.1). The minimum split-duty rest period is 4 hours (Appendix 4, 3.1) and you have access to sleeping accommodation so you can extend the FDP by the maximum: 4 hours. This results in a total FDP of 13 hours.
No more than 5 hours of FDP may be done after the split-duty rest period however (Appendix 4, 3.5), so theoretically, we could only work a maximum of 8 hours (including the rest period) which would then leave 5 hours after that until the end of the FDP. If you need to work the full 13 hour FDP, you could therefore only work 4 hours (until 1930) and then commence your 4 hour split-duty rest period, until 2330. This rest period however now runs into the time between 2300 and 0529 (see Appendix 4, 3.4), so the rest needs to be extended to 7 hours and the FDP can be extended to be 15 hours in total.
The rest period therefore must extend until 0230. After that, you can start the remaining hours of your split-duty. However, you can only do a 15 hour FDP so the latest you may finish is 15 hours after your start time of 1530. You will finish at 0630. Note, you have now done a 15 hour tour

Sample Test 2, Q28 on page 179 should read:
Question No 28 CAO 48.0 Instrument 2013 Appendix 1 para 4.2
Your company operates under CAO 48.0 Instrument 2013 Appendix 1. Today (11th November) you finished a flight duty period of 6 hours at 1800 Local Standard Time. You have now worked 5 consecutive days and your next tour of duty will begin at 0700 LST and be of 8 hours duration. What is the earliest date on which you may commence this tour of duty?
The answer is still [d] 14th November.

Avoiding Controlled Airspace. The distances that were specified in the old AIP have been dropped. The AIP [March 5th 2015] says that you must not actually enter CTA unless you have a clearance and, if your route takes you close to the boundary of CTA, you should either get a clearance or stay well clear of the boundary.

Due to regular updates of the regulatory documents, there has been some shifting of references made in the Air Law textbook, usually by only a paragraph or two but still enough to be potentially confusing. So, in order to make it easier to find the correct references until the new edition is released, we have compiled the corrections together into a PDF document for you to print out and include with your copy of the textbook.
The first column describes the textbook page where the reference is to be found, the second column is the old reference and the third column is the new reference for the current documents. The Air Law E-Text will be automatically updated with the new references very shortly.
