Airline Transport Pilot Licence Test

A serviceable transponder with automatic pressure-altitude reporting equipment is required by all aircraft that intend to operate within all Class A, B, and C airspace, as well as within any class D or E airspace that has been specified as transponder airspace. This means that any aircraft flying in these types of airspace must have a functioning transponder with the capability to report its altitude automatically. This requirement ensures proper communication and surveillance of aircraft in these controlled airspaces, enhancing safety and efficiency of air traffic control operations.

A multi-engine turbine-powered aeroplane that was manufactured after October 11th 1991, configured for 10 or more passengers and for which a minimum of 2 crew is required by the type certificate, must have both Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice recorder aboard. This is because these two equipment are crucial for recording and analyzing flight data and cockpit communications, which can be used for accident investigations and improving aviation safety.

The correct answer is after climbing through 18,000 feet ASL. This is because when flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), pilots are required to set their altimeters to the standard pressure (29.92" Hg) when they transition from the altitude-based system (where the altimeter is set to the local pressure) to the flight level system (where the altimeter is set to the standard pressure above 18,000 feet ASL). Therefore, the pilot should set the aircraft altimeter to standard pressure after climbing through 18,000 feet ASL.

When an ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot License) pilot's category 1 Medical Certificate expires, they are still allowed to exercise their Private Pilot Privileges. This means that they can continue to fly as a private pilot, but they will not be able to exercise the privileges of a commercial pilot or any other higher-level privileges. The expiration of the category 1 Medical Certificate does not result in the immediate suspension of all flying privileges, but rather restricts the pilot to the privileges associated with a private pilot license.

The correct answer is 50 nm. This is because according to international regulations, a land aeroplane is required to carry a life preserver or flotation device for each person on board if it is operating more than 50 nm from shore. Therefore, if the distance is less than or equal to 50 nm, the aeroplane does not need to carry these devices.

Pilots of IFR aircraft within controlled or uncontrolled high level airspace are required to adjust their transponder to reply on Mode A, Code 2000 and on Mode C. This means that their transponder should be set to Mode A with a code of 2000, and also set to Mode C. Mode C allows the aircraft's altitude to be transmitted to air traffic control, which is important for maintaining separation between aircraft. Therefore, the correct answer is 2000 and on Mode C.

When the tower of an airport with a Class C control zone is not operating, the airport is considered uncontrolled. The airspace classification in this scenario would be Class E. Class E airspace extends from the surface (or the base of the overlying controlled airspace) up to a certain altitude, and it is not controlled by air traffic control. Pilots are responsible for their own separation and must follow the applicable rules and regulations for operating in Class E airspace.

The correct answer is 230 KIAS. The maximum holding speed for a civil turbojet aircraft at an assigned altitude of 14,000 ASL is 230 KIAS. This speed is determined by regulations and is designed to ensure safe and efficient operations during holding patterns. Holding at this speed allows for proper spacing between aircraft and helps maintain stability and control while in the holding pattern.

The proficiency of each pilot at the completion of each Initial Ground Training phase provided by an Air Carrier is determined by a written test. This test assesses the pilot's knowledge and understanding of the training material covered during the ground training phase. It tests their ability to recall information, apply concepts, and demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter. The written test ensures that pilots have a solid foundation of knowledge before moving on to the next phase of their training.

If the altitude Alerting System of a turbo-jet-powered aeroplane is unserviceable and no MEL (Minimum Equipment List) has been approved for this aircraft, only flights that are designated as test flights, Pilot Proficiency Checks, or training flights are permitted. This means that regular commercial flights or flights operating in low level airspace structure or restricted to day VFR conditions are not allowed. The reason for this is that these specific flights require the altitude Alerting System to ensure the safety and proficiency of the flight crew.

The correct answer is "no interval, but ATC will issue a wake turbulence advisory to the light aircraft." This means that ATC will not apply a specific spacing interval between the light aircraft and the medium aircraft, but they will provide a warning about the wake turbulence created by the medium aircraft. Wake turbulence refers to the disturbance in the air created by an aircraft's wings as it generates lift. It can be hazardous for smaller aircraft flying too close behind larger aircraft, so ATC will issue a warning to ensure the safety of the light aircraft.

The correct answer is 13,000 feet ASL. At cabin pressure altitudes above 13,000 feet ASL, each person on board the aircraft is required to wear an O2 mask and use supplemental O2. This is necessary to ensure that individuals receive enough oxygen to maintain normal bodily functions at higher altitudes where the air is thinner and oxygen levels are lower.

The correct answer is "the manoeuvring area plus aprons." The movement area of an aerodrome refers to the area where aircraft are allowed to move, and it includes both the manoeuvring area (which consists of runways and taxiways) and the aprons (which are the areas where aircraft are parked, loaded, and unloaded). This answer encompasses both components of the movement area, making it the correct choice.

The base of the Arctic Control Area is FL270. This means that the lower limit of the controlled airspace in the Arctic region is at Flight Level 270. Flight levels are altitude measurements based on standard pressure settings, and FL270 represents an altitude of 27,000 feet above sea level. This specific altitude is likely determined based on factors such as aircraft performance, navigation capabilities, and airspace management requirements in the Arctic region.

The correct answer is "the person in possession of the aircraft." This means that the individual who has physical control or custody of the aircraft at a given time is considered the operator. It may not necessarily be the pilot in command or the owner of the aircraft. The operator could be someone who is temporarily in possession of the aircraft, such as a renter or a borrower.

The correct answer is a sufficient number of relevant entries to ensure some sort of meaningful continuity. This means that the number of entries carried forward should be enough to maintain a logical sequence and provide a smooth transition between the previous and new journey logs. It ensures that important information is not lost and allows for proper tracking and documentation of the aircraft's maintenance history. The other options, such as the last 5 entries or the last maintenance action, may not necessarily guarantee meaningful continuity and could result in missing crucial information.

Terminal Control Areas (TCA) are a type of controlled airspace that can extend upwards into the High Level airspace structure. TCAs are typically established around busy airports to manage the flow of air traffic in and out of the airport. They have specific entry and exit procedures and are controlled by air traffic control. Victor Airways are airways that connect navigational aids and are typically located in the Low Level airspace. Control Area Extensions are areas that extend the boundaries of existing control areas. Class C control zones associated with Canada's major airports are specific types of controlled airspace but do not extend into the High Level airspace structure.

The Touchdown Zone of the landing runway is determined by the lesser of two options: the first 3,000 feet or the first third of the runway. This means that if the runway is shorter than 9,000 feet, the Touchdown Zone will be limited to the first 3,000 feet. However, if the runway is longer than 9,000 feet, the Touchdown Zone will be limited to the first third of the runway. This ensures that pilots have a designated area for landing and helps maintain safety during the landing process.

The Chief Pilot is permitted to extend the Flight Duty Day beyond the normal 14 hour maximum. This is because the Chief Pilot is responsible for overseeing and managing all flight operations, including scheduling and ensuring compliance with regulations. They have the authority to make decisions regarding flight duty time extensions based on factors such as crew availability, operational requirements, and safety considerations.

In the Canadian Domestic Airspace structure, all high level controlled airspace above FL600 has been designated as Class E. Class E airspace is typically controlled airspace that is not Class A, B, C, or D. It is used to separate IFR traffic from other IFR or VFR traffic and is generally found above Class D airspace. This designation ensures that there is proper control and separation of aircraft in this high-level airspace.

The determination of the appropriate altitude for cruising flight in the Northern Domestic Airspace is based on the aircraft's true track. True track refers to the actual direction that the aircraft is moving over the ground, taking into account factors such as wind. By considering the true track, pilots can ensure that they maintain an appropriate altitude to avoid conflicts with other aircraft and to optimize their flight efficiency. Magnetic heading, true heading, and magnetic track are not directly related to determining the altitude for cruising flight in this context.

The correct answer is FL285 and FL420. The North Atlantic Minimum Navigation Performance Specification Airspace (NAT MNPSA) is a designated airspace that exists over the North Atlantic between these flight levels. This airspace is established to ensure the safe and efficient operation of aircraft crossing the North Atlantic, and it requires specific navigation performance capabilities from aircraft operating within it.
