1. AN OVERTAKING AIRCRAFT SHALL PASS TO THE LEFT?

Explanation

The statement is false because according to international aviation regulations, an overtaking aircraft should pass to the right of the aircraft it is overtaking. This allows for a standardized and predictable system of passing, ensuring the safety of all aircraft involved. Passing to the left would create confusion and increase the risk of collision.

2. LANDING AIRCRAFT HAVE RIGHT OF WAY?

Explanation

Landing aircraft have the right of way because they are in a critical phase of flight, requiring a stable approach and landing. Giving them priority ensures their safety and allows for efficient operations at airports. Other aircraft in the vicinity must yield to landing aircraft to avoid potential collisions and maintain a safe distance. This practice is a standard procedure followed worldwide to ensure the smooth flow of air traffic and prevent accidents.

Submit
3. A DISTRESS SIGNAL OF SOS MEANS?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Emergency Condition on board." The distress signal SOS is internationally recognized as a call for help in emergency situations. It indicates that the vessel or person sending the signal is in immediate danger and requires immediate assistance. This signal is used to alert others that there is a life-threatening situation onboard and prompt action is needed to ensure the safety of the individuals involved.

Submit
4. THE PORT NAV LIGHT MUST BE 110 DEGREES VISIBLE FROM THE SIDE?

Explanation

The port nav light must be 110 degrees visible from the side because it is a requirement for navigation lights on a boat. These lights are used to indicate the direction and position of a vessel to other boats and help prevent collisions at sea. The port nav light is specifically designed to be visible from the left side of the boat, and it must have a visibility arc of at least 110 degrees to ensure that it can be seen by other vessels approaching from that side. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

Submit
5. MINIMUM AGE TO OBTAIN A PPL?

Explanation

The minimum age to obtain a PPL (Private Pilot License) is 17 years. This means that individuals must be at least 17 years old to be eligible to obtain a PPL.

Submit
6. AN OVERTAKEN AIRCRAFT SHALL MOVE TO THE LEFT?

Explanation

An overtaken aircraft should move to the right, not the left. This is because the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) states that when two aircraft are on a collision course, the aircraft being overtaken (the slower aircraft) should move to the right to allow the overtaking aircraft (the faster aircraft) to pass on the left. This helps to maintain a safe distance between the two aircraft and prevent any potential accidents. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
7. AN AIRCRAFT SHALL GIVE WAY TO?

Explanation

When two aircraft are converging (approaching each other head-on or nearly so), the aircraft on the right has the right-of-way and the other aircraft should give way. This rule applies both in the air and on the ground. Therefore, an aircraft shall give way to the aircraft on its right when converging.

Submit
8. DAME IS THE AVIATION ABBREVIATION FOR?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Designated Aviation Medical Examiner." The abbreviation DAME is used in the aviation industry to refer to a Designated Aviation Medical Examiner. These individuals are responsible for conducting medical examinations and assessments on pilots and other aviation personnel to ensure they meet the required medical standards for safe operation in the aviation field.

Submit
9. A STUDENT PILOT MAY FLY SOLO AT THE AGE OF?

Explanation

A student pilot may fly solo at the age of 16 years. This is the minimum age requirement set by aviation authorities for student pilots to fly alone without an instructor. At this age, the student pilot has undergone sufficient training and demonstrated the necessary skills and knowledge to safely operate an aircraft on their own.

Submit
10. AN AIRCRAFT SHALL FLY OVER A BUILT-UP AREA AT?

Explanation

An aircraft should fly over a built-up area at a minimum altitude of 1000 feet, and this altitude should be maintained within a radius of 2000 feet from the highest obstacle in that area. This is to ensure the safety of the people and property on the ground, as well as to minimize the risk of any potential accidents or damage caused by the aircraft.

Submit
11. MATCH THE FOLLOWING STRIP SIGNALS?
Submit
12. MINIMUM AGE TO OBTAIN A SPL?

Explanation

The minimum age to obtain a SPL (Student Pilot License) is 15 years. This means that individuals who are at least 15 years old can apply for and obtain a SPL, which allows them to fly an aircraft under the supervision of a certified flight instructor.

Submit
13. THE TAIL NAV LIGHT MUST BE 150 DEGREES VISIBLE FROM THE REAR?

Explanation

The tail nav light does not need to be 150 degrees visible from the rear. The correct requirement is for the tail nav light to be visible from a distance of at least 1 statute mile during the day and at least 3 statute miles at night. The specific angle of visibility is not mentioned in the question. Therefore, the answer is false.

Submit
14. AN AIRCRAFT MAY OVER WATER FLY AT?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Any height providing no hazard or nuisance to persons or property." This means that an aircraft can fly over water at any altitude as long as it does not pose a danger or disturbance to people or property. This allows for flexibility in flight operations, as long as safety and consideration for others are maintained.

Submit
15. AN URGENCY IS SIGNALED BY?

Explanation

The correct answer is "XXX in Morse Code". In Morse Code, "XXX" is used to signal an urgency. It is a distress signal indicating that immediate assistance is required. This signal is commonly used in emergency situations to alert others of the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate help.

Submit
16. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CORRECT?

Explanation

According to the given answer, a vehicle should give way to an aircraft on the taxiway, which means that the vehicle should yield and allow the aircraft to proceed. Additionally, it states that a vehicle towing an aircraft on the taxiway shall have the right of way, meaning that other vehicles should yield to the towing vehicle.

Submit
17. MATCH THE FOLLOWING LIGHT SIGNALS AT AN AERODROME?
Submit
18. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CORRECT?

Explanation

The correct answer is Max speed in circuit is 250 Kt and Max speed below FL 100 is 250 Kt. This means that the maximum speed allowed in a circuit is 250 knots, and the maximum speed allowed below flight level 100 is also 250 knots.

Submit
19. UNDER THE SEMI-CIRCULAR RULE, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING HEADINGS ARE IFR?

Explanation

Under the semi-circular rule, headings that are IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) are those that are at or above 2000 ft on 180*, 2000 ft on 181*, all flights above 20000 ft, 51000 ft on 340*, and 10000 ft on 250*. These headings meet the criteria for IFR, which requires a certain altitude and direction of flight.

Submit
20. UNDER THE SEMI-CIRCULAR RULE, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING HEADINGS ARE VFR?

Explanation

The headings that are VFR under the semi-circular rule are 7500 ft on 090*, 18500 ft on 270*, 9500 ft on 360*, 19500 ft on 179*, and 1500 ft on 360*. These headings are considered VFR because they are within the visual flight rules, which allow for aircraft to operate in visual meteorological conditions and navigate by visual reference to the ground or landmarks. The other headings mentioned in the question are not VFR because they are either not within the visual flight rules or do not provide enough information to determine their VFR status.
