Canadian Aviation Regulations Practice Test 1 Of 6

A dual or independent check is required after any work that disturbs engine or flight controls to ensure that the work was done correctly and that there are no issues or malfunctions that could affect the safety of the aircraft during flight. This type of work is critical as any errors or mistakes in the engine or flight controls can have severe consequences and pose a risk to the aircraft and its occupants. Therefore, a dual or independent check is necessary to verify the integrity and functionality of these crucial components before the aircraft is cleared for flight.

The correct answer is "The FARs." The Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) are the aviation regulations mandated by the Civil Aviation Authority of the United States of America. These regulations govern all aspects of civil aviation in the United States, including flight operations, aircraft maintenance, pilot certification, and air traffic control. The FARs ensure safety and standardization in the aviation industry.

ADs (Airworthiness Directives) are mandatory instructions or actions issued by regulatory authorities to address safety concerns or deficiencies in aircraft or aircraft components. In this case, the correct answer states that ADs are mandatory when they are issued by Transport Canada or a foreign Civil Aviation Authority with jurisdiction over the initial type design. This means that if either of these authorities issues an AD, it must be followed by Canadian aircraft, regardless of whether the AD is marked as mandatory or not. The explanation emphasizes the requirement for compliance with ADs issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities.

The correct answer is that the part must be inspected and its accompanying documentation verified. This means that before installing the part on an aircraft, it must undergo a thorough inspection to ensure that it is in proper working condition and meets all necessary standards. Additionally, the accompanying documentation, such as certificates or records, must be checked to confirm the authenticity and accuracy of the part. This process helps to ensure the safety and reliability of the aircraft.

A "small aeroplane" has a maximum take-off weight of 5700 kg. This means that the weight of the aircraft, including its fuel, passengers, and cargo, should not exceed 5700 kg when taking off. This weight limit is specific to small aeroplanes and may vary for larger aircraft.

A person holding a shop certification Authority (SCA) is authorized in the MPM of an AMO to certify maintenance on aircraft parts. This means that they have the authority to approve and certify that the maintenance work carried out on aircraft parts meets the required standards and is safe for use. This certification is important to ensure the airworthiness and safety of the aircraft. The SCA has the necessary knowledge and expertise to make these certifications and is authorized by the Maintenance Policy Manual (MPM) of an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) to do so.

If a reportable SDR of the same nature occurs more than once on the same or similar aeronautical product, it must be reported. This implies that even if the SDR has occurred before, it is still necessary to report it again. This is important for ensuring that all instances of the SDR are documented and addressed appropriately. By reporting it, the relevant authorities can investigate the issue further and take necessary actions to prevent any potential safety risks associated with the recurring defect.

Once an MEL is approved for an operator's aircraft, the operator is required to adhere to the conditions specified in the MEL. This means that they must operate the aircraft in accordance with the guidelines and limitations outlined in the MEL. The MEL serves as a set of instructions and restrictions that the operator must follow to ensure the continued airworthiness and safe operation of the aircraft. Deviating from the specified conditions in the MEL could compromise the safety and airworthiness of the aircraft.

The correct answer is CAR part I. CAR stands for Civil Aviation Regulations, which are regulations established by the regulatory authority of a country to govern civil aviation activities. The General Provisions, as the name suggests, are the general rules and regulations that apply to all aspects of civil aviation. Therefore, it is logical to find the General Provisions in CAR part I, which is the introductory part of the regulations. AWM chapters 571 and 507 may contain specific provisions related to certain aspects of aviation, but they do not cover the general provisions.

In many aviation regulatory frameworks, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) licenses are issued in various categories to cover different areas of expertise. The specific categories can vary depending on the country, but a common set includes:

M1: Maintenance of small aircraft (typically non-pressurized aircraft weighing 5,700 kg or less).

M2: Maintenance of larger aircraft (typically pressurized aircraft above 5,700 kg).

E: Maintenance of avionics systems, which includes electronic systems and instruments.

S: Maintenance of aircraft structures.

B: Maintenance of specialized systems (often subdivided into categories like B1, B2 for mechanical and avionics systems, respectively).

These categories ensure that maintenance engineers have the specific skills and knowledge required for different aspects of aircraft maintenance.

The correct answer is the aircraft's certificate of airworthiness, provided the aircraft continues to meet the conditions of issue. This means that the aeroplane can be flown under the authority of its certificate of airworthiness, as long as it remains in compliance with the conditions stated in the certificate. The certificate of airworthiness is a document that confirms the aircraft's conformity to the applicable airworthiness requirements and ensures that it is safe to fly.

The correct answer is steady red. The position light required on the port (left) side of an aircraft is a steady red light. Position lights are used to indicate the direction and orientation of an aircraft to other pilots and ground personnel. The steady red light on the left side helps indicate the aircraft's position and direction to other aircraft or vehicles approaching from the left side.

The maintenance for the engine change has been properly certified if a dual inspection for the engine installation has been carried out. This means that two inspections have been conducted to ensure that the engine has been properly installed and is in working condition. This dual inspection provides an additional level of assurance that the maintenance has been carried out correctly.

The first digit in a CARs number represents the part. This means that the number is indicating which part of the CARs (Canadian Aviation Regulations) the specific regulation or rule belongs to. CARs are a set of regulations that govern aviation activities in Canada, and they are divided into different parts to categorize and organize the various regulations. Therefore, the first digit of a CARs number serves as a way to identify the specific part of the regulations that the number corresponds to.

Technical records other than the journey log must be kept for as long as the aircraft is registered. This is because these records are essential for maintaining the airworthiness of the aircraft and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. As long as the aircraft is registered, it is necessary to have access to these records to track and document the maintenance, repairs, and modifications performed on the aircraft throughout its lifespan. Once the aircraft is deregistered or changes ownership, the responsibility for maintaining these records may shift to the new owner or operator.

Flight time refers to the total time from when the aircraft starts moving for takeoff until it comes to a stop at the end of the flight. This includes the time spent in the air as well as any time spent on the ground during taxiing, waiting for clearance, or other operational procedures. It is a comprehensive measure that accounts for all the time involved in a flight, including both the actual flying time and any additional time spent on the ground.

The correct answer is "Holders of a combined M1/M2 rating will not be issued E and S ratings". This means that individuals who hold a combined M1/M2 rating will not be eligible to receive E and S ratings. This suggests that there are certain restrictions or limitations for individuals with this combined rating when it comes to obtaining E and S ratings.

The correct answer is "An authorized release certificate." This is because an authorized release certificate is a document that confirms that an aircraft or component has undergone the required maintenance, repair, or modification and is now deemed safe for operation. It is issued by an authorized organization or individual, such as a maintenance organization or an approved inspector. This certificate serves as evidence that the work has been completed in accordance with the applicable regulations and standards, ensuring the airworthiness of the aircraft or component.

Persons performing elementary work for a commercial air service must have done it once under the direct supervision of an AME. This means that they must have completed the task at least once while being directly supervised by an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME). This ensures that they have received proper guidance and instruction from a qualified professional before performing the task independently. It is important for individuals to gain practical experience and learn from an experienced AME to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

If the second digit in a CARs number is a 4, it denotes advisory material. This means that the information provided in the CARs document is not mandatory or regulatory, but rather serves as guidance or recommendations for pilots and aviation personnel. Advisory material is typically used to enhance safety and provide additional information on best practices and procedures in aviation operations.

Aircraft operating under CAR Part IV are flight training aircraft. This means that they are specifically used for the purpose of training pilots and conducting flight lessons. These aircraft are not used for commercial purposes or operated by Transport Canada. Additionally, they are not state aircraft, which are typically used for government or military purposes.

The correct answer states that if a Canadian aircraft requires maintenance in a foreign country, the maintenance may be certified by a person who is authorized to sign under the laws of a state that has an agreement or technical arrangement with Canada. This means that the person must have the necessary qualifications and authorization to certify the maintenance according to the laws of that state. Alternatively, the person may hold equivalent qualifications that are recognized by Canada. This ensures that the maintenance is certified by someone who is authorized and qualified to do so, either through an agreement with Canada or through equivalent qualifications.

All aircraft, regardless of whether they are Part IV and Part VII aircraft, commercial aircraft, or private aircraft, must be operated in accordance with an approved maintenance schedule. This is important to ensure the safety and airworthiness of the aircraft. Regular maintenance and inspections are necessary to identify and address any potential issues or wear and tear that could affect the aircraft's performance and safety. Therefore, all types of aircraft should adhere to an approved maintenance schedule.

AME stands for Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. It is crucial for AMEs to promptly notify Transport Canada of any change in their address. This is important for maintaining accurate records and ensuring effective communication between Transport Canada and the AME. A shorter time frame, such as 7 days, allows for a quicker update of the address, minimizing any potential delays or issues that may arise from outdated information.

Altimeters and pitot-static systems must be checked every 24 months. This ensures that these instruments are functioning properly and accurately. Regular checks are necessary to maintain the safety and reliability of aircraft operations. Checking them every 24 months strikes a balance between ensuring their accuracy and minimizing the burden of frequent inspections. This periodicity allows for sufficient time to detect and rectify any issues that may arise with these critical flight instruments.

When selling a Canadian registered aircraft to someone who is not qualified to own it, the owner is required to remove the marks. This means that any identifying marks or registration numbers on the aircraft must be taken off. This is likely done to prevent any confusion or misrepresentation of the ownership of the aircraft. The other options listed, such as notifying the Minister within 30 days and surrendering technical records, may also be required in certain situations, but they are not specifically mentioned in the question.

The correct answer is "Use approved or specified data." When performing a major modification or repair, it is important to use data that has been approved or specified for the task at hand. This ensures that the work is done in accordance with the necessary standards and regulations. Using approved or specified data helps to maintain the safety and integrity of the aircraft.

Under the Aeronautics Act, the Civil Aviation Tribunal (now known as the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada or TATC) serves as the forum for hearing appeals and reviewing decisions made by aviation authorities, including enforcement actions and aviation-related disputes. It provides an independent process to ensure fairness in the application of regulations. None of the other options, such as the Airworthiness Appeal Board or Air Engineering Committee, have the same function or jurisdiction as the Civil Aviation Tribunal in handling appeals under the Aeronautics Act.

A progressive maintenance program for small piston-powered private aircraft is designed to provide a flexible inspection schedule while ensuring airworthiness and safety. According to regulations, the program must provide a complete inspection to at least the same extent as outlined in Appendix B of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR) 625 within each 12-month period. This ensures that all critical components and systems are thoroughly checked and maintained, promoting continued airworthiness and safety for private aircraft operations. Although progressive maintenance programs allow for some flexibility in scheduling inspections, they do not permit indefinite deferral of inspections. Inspections must still be completed within the specified timeframe to maintain compliance and ensure the aircraft's safe operation.

The correct answer is CAR Part V, Subpart 21. This is because CAR Part V, Subpart 21 specifically addresses the regulations governing Airworthiness Directives (ADs). ADs are issued by aviation authorities to address potential safety issues or maintenance requirements for aircraft. Therefore, it is logical that the regulations governing ADs would be found in CAR Part V, Subpart 21. AWM Chapter 501 and AWM Chapter 593 may contain other regulations related to aircraft maintenance, but they do not specifically address ADs. CAR Part V, Subpart 91 may contain regulations related to general operating rules for aircraft, but it does not specifically address ADs.

The detailed task listings for elementary work can be found in Appendix A of CAR 625.

Deferred defect procedures allow commercial air operators to manage and track defects that do not immediately ground an aircraft. These procedures are part of an airline's maintenance and safety management system, ensuring that any non-critical defects are documented, monitored, and rectified in a timely manner, without immediately affecting the aircraft's operational status. This contrasts with Minimum Equipment Lists (MELs), which specify equipment that must be operational for the aircraft to be considered airworthy.

Manufacturer Service Bulletins are mandatory if mandated by the civil aviation authority that controls the type design. This means that if the authority responsible for regulating and certifying the aircraft determines that a service bulletin is necessary for the safety or airworthiness of the aircraft, it becomes mandatory for all aircraft of that type. It does not matter if the aircraft is in the amateur built or owner maintenance categories, and it is not dependent on whether the manufacturer marks it as mandatory or limited to the country of origin.

A major modification refers to an alteration made to the type design of an aeronautical product that has a significant impact on various aspects such as weight, center-of-gravity limits, structural strength, performance, power plant operation, flight characteristics, and other qualities affecting its airworthiness or environmental characteristics. This means that the modification is not negligible and requires proper certification and approval to ensure the continued safety and airworthiness of the product.

ELTs (Emergency Locator Transmitters) powered by water-activated batteries must be recertified every five years. This ensures that the device remains in proper working condition and complies with the necessary safety standards. Recertification involves inspecting and testing the ELT to ensure its functionality and reliability. This periodic recertification helps to ensure that the ELT will function effectively in the event of an emergency, providing accurate and timely location information to search and rescue teams.

Regulations and additional information on compliance with ADs can be found in CAR 521, Appendix H of CAR 625.

The correct answer is "The described maintenance has been performed in accordance with the applicable airworthiness standards." This statement indicates that the maintenance has been carried out in compliance with the required standards for the aircraft's airworthiness. It assures that the necessary procedures and regulations have been followed to ensure the safety and fitness of the aircraft for flight.

The digits immediately following the decimal point or period in a CARs number denote the section. This means that the section is further subdivided into smaller parts or subsections, which are represented by the digits following the section number. The section is a major division within the CARs, and the digits after the decimal point provide more specific information about the content or topic within that section.

When an aircraft is flying directly towards you, you’ll see its red light on the left wingtip and green light on the right wingtip. These are navigation or position lights used to indicate the direction an aircraft is facing. If you see both red and green lights at the same time, it means the aircraft is heading toward your position. This helps other pilots and air traffic personnel determine the orientation and movement of nearby aircraft to avoid collisions.

Appendix D of CAR 625 refers to the operator's approved maintenance schedules. This means that it is a document that outlines the maintenance schedule that has been approved by the operator of the aircraft. It is important for operators to have approved maintenance schedules in order to ensure that their aircraft are properly maintained and in compliance with regulations. This helps to ensure the safety and airworthiness of the aircraft.

The requirements for maintenance releases are found in CAR 571.

The correct answer is CAR Part V, Subpart 21. This is because the question asks for the regulations governing SDRs, and CAR Part V, Subpart 21 specifically pertains to SDRs. The other options mentioned do not specifically address SDRs.

ELTs (Emergency Locator Transmitters) are devices used in aircraft to transmit distress signals in the event of an emergency. They are crucial for search and rescue operations. According to the given information, ELTs must be checked every 12 months. This regular maintenance ensures that the ELT is functioning properly and can be relied upon in case of an emergency. It is important to adhere to this schedule to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

A maintenance release is required for all maintenance carried out on aircraft and aeronautical products, except for maintenance performed on ultra-light aircraft and hang gliders. This means that any maintenance work done on regular aircraft and aeronautical products must have a maintenance release, while maintenance on ultra-light aircraft and hang gliders may not require one.

The person responsible for the Maintenance Control System of a Commercial Operator is authorized to remove an aircraft from operation if it is unsafe. This means that they have the authority to make decisions regarding the safety of the aircraft and take necessary actions to ensure the safety of the operation. This responsibility requires knowledge and expertise in aircraft maintenance and the ability to identify and address safety concerns.

The standards for delegation of authority can be found in AWM Chapter 505. This chapter likely contains guidelines and regulations regarding the process of delegating authority within the aeronautics industry.

In Canada, under the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), only an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) licence holder authorized through the Maintenance Policy Manual (MPM) of an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) has the authority to sign a maintenance release for specialized maintenance. This ensures that specialized work, which often involves more complex or safety-critical tasks, is properly certified by someone with the required qualifications and within a regulated framework. The other options are incorrect because:

Test flight results are not certified by the AME who signed the conditional release, and

For general maintenance, individuals authorized under other circumstances (e.g., elementary work) may also sign maintenance releases.
