-
Even thousand foot altitude
-
Odd thousand plus 500 feet
-
Odd thousand feet
-
Even thousand plus 500 feet
Correct Answer
A. Even thousand plus 500 feetExplanation
When cruising VFR flight above 3,000 feet AGL in class "E" airspace, the aircraft is required to operate at an even thousand foot altitude. In this case, the correct answer is "even thousand plus 500 feet," which means the aircraft should maintain an altitude that is an even thousand feet (such as 4,000, 6,000, etc.) and add 500 feet to that altitude (such as 4,500, 6,500, etc.). This is in accordance with the VFR cruising altitudes rules, which specify that when flying at altitudes of 3,000 feet AGL or above, pilots should fly at altitudes that are an even thousand feet plus 500 feet.Rate this question:

-
Below
-
You are not suppose to pass while flying
Correct Answer
A. To the rightExplanation
When flying in a faster aircraft and overtaking a slower power-driven aircraft, you pass to the right. This is because the general rule of aviation is to keep to the right when passing another aircraft, similar to the rules of the road for vehicles. By passing to the right, you ensure a safe and predictable maneuver, minimizing the risk of collision.Rate this question:

-
You just crash and burn and enjoy heaven
Correct Answer
A. Alter to the rightExplanation
When two aircraft are approaching head-on and there is a danger of collision, they should alter to the right. This is because the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standard states that in the event of a potential collision, both aircraft should turn to the right to avoid each other. This standard helps to establish a consistent and predictable response in such situations, reducing the risk of accidents in the air.Rate this question:

Where a VFR flight plan has been filed, the pilot in command shall report arrival to the appropriate Air Traffic Control unit no later than;
-
30 minutes after landing.
-
1 hour after landing.
-
12 hours after landing.
-
24 hours after landing.
Correct Answer
A. 1 hour after landing.Explanation
The pilot in command is required to report their arrival to the appropriate Air Traffic Control unit no later than 1 hour after landing when a VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flight plan has been filed. This allows the ATC unit to keep track of the aircraft's movements and ensure its safe arrival. Reporting within this timeframe helps maintain effective communication and coordination between the pilot and ATC.Rate this question:

Pilots of aircraft are responsible for taking such action as is necessary to avoid a collision;
-
Unless flying in accordance with an ATC clearance.
-
Only when flying in VFR conditions.
-
Except when within visual range of the control tower.
-
At all times.
Correct Answer
A. At all times.Explanation
The correct answer is "At all times." Pilots of aircraft are always responsible for taking necessary actions to avoid a collision, regardless of the circumstances. This means that even if they are flying in accordance with an ATC clearance, in VFR conditions, or within visual range of the control tower, they still have the ultimate responsibility to prevent a collision.Rate this question:

Runways at Canadian airports and aerodromes in the southern Domestic Airspace are numbered to indicate, to the nearest even 10 degrees, the runway bearing in degrees ______.
-
True.
-
Magnetic.
-
Compass.
-
Grid.
Correct Answer
A. Magnetic.Explanation
The runways at Canadian airports and aerodromes in the southern Domestic Airspace are numbered to indicate the runway bearing in degrees using magnetic direction. Magnetic direction refers to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field at a specific location, which differs from true north due to magnetic declination. By using magnetic bearings, pilots can align their aircraft with the runway more accurately, taking into account the magnetic variations in the area. This helps ensure safe and efficient takeoffs and landings.Rate this question:

When in VFR flight within an Altimeter Setting Region, the altimeter should be set to;
-
The current altimeter setting of the nearest station along the route of flight.
-
29.92" Hg. or 1013.2mb.
-
The station pressure of the nearest weather reporting station.
-
The standard altimeter setting.
Correct Answer
A. The current altimeter setting of the nearest station along the route of flight.Explanation
When in VFR flight within an Altimeter Setting Region, the altimeter should be set to the current altimeter setting of the nearest station along the route of flight. This is because the altimeter setting provides the correct barometric pressure at the aircraft's altitude, allowing the altimeter to accurately display the aircraft's altitude above mean sea level. By setting the altimeter to the current setting of the nearest station along the route, the pilot ensures that the altimeter is calibrated to the correct pressure for the specific location and altitude of the aircraft.Rate this question:
