Question 3
At night, in <ight, you observe a steady green light in your 10 o'clock. Which of the
following statements is most correct?
Question ID: 168
There is no risk of collision. However, to increase separation you should turn right,
away from the other aircraft
There is a risk of collision. You should turn left to pass behind the other aircraft
There is no risk of collision. No action is required by either aircraft
There is a risk of collision. You have the right of way and should maintain course
1 of 3 27/10/2023, 23:45
and speed
Explanation
If a light is "steady" it means it is not moving across the windshield. This implies that
eventually, the light will attach itself to the windshield (i.e. a collision will occur)!
Using the diagram below which depicts the lights on an aircraft, if a green light is seen,
then the aircraft will be travelling from your left to your right.
2 of 3 27/10/2023, 23:45
In this situation, YOU will be on the RIGHT of the other aircraft, and hence YOU will have
right of way, and the aircraft should give way to you. It should do this by turning right, and
passing behind you. YOU have an obligation as part of the collision avoidance rules to
maintain your course and speed!

The air9eld Control Reporting Point
A taxi-way designation
None of the above
A MANDATORY runway hold point showing the runway designation
1 of 2 27/10/2023, 23:46
Explanation
All yellow and black signs (black on yellow or yellow on back) are INFORMATION
SIGNS.
Specifically, yellow text on a black background is a LOCATION INFORMATION SIGN.

This means the sign is telling you where you ARE. That can be a taxi-way designation,
or runway designation (at a non-mandatory hold point).

Question 5
The pilot of an aircraft that has been intercepted by another aircraft should attempt to
establish radio contact with the intercepting aircraft on the:
Question ID: 169
emergency frequency 121.500 MHz
local Flight Information Service frequency
frequency currently being used to speak to ATC
published interception frequency for that FIR
1 of 3 27/10/2023, 23:46
Explanation
The Interception Procedures (and your method of response) should adhere to the
International Standard for such occurrences. These are documented by ICAO (the
International Civil Aviation Organisation) and are common throughout the world.
It is VITAL that you understand the procedure. If you act in an unrecognised or

inappropriate manner, there could be serious consequences (such as being shot down)!
Ensure you are familiar with the procedure (see below)!

Question 9
Which of the following scenarios is de?ned as an AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT under ICAO

procedures?
Question ID: 2085
A pilot slips over on an oil spillage during the walkround of the aircraft
An aircraft makes a successful forced landing in a ?eld as a result of engine failure

with no injuries to persons on board nor on the ground
An aircraft has a tyre burst on landing, but the aircraft is able to taxi safely to the
stand
1 of 3 27/10/2023, 23:59
Explanation
A person suffers a serious injury by tripping over the threshold of the aircraft door
during boarding
The de?nitions of a reportable accident and serious injury are as follows:
An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft that takes place between the
time when any person boards the aircraft with the intention of Pight and such time as all
persons have disembarked there from, in which:
(a) Any person suffers death or serious injury while in or upon the aircraft or by direct
contact with any part of the aircraft (including any part which has become detached from
the aircraft) or by direct exposure to jet blast, except when the death or serious injury is
from natural causes, is self-inPicted or is inPicted by other persons or when the death or
serious injury is suffered by a stowaway hiding outside the areas normally available in
Pight to the passengers and members of the crew of the aircraft, or
(b) The aircraft incurs damage or structural failure, other than: i. Engine failure or
damage, when the damage is limited to the engine, its cowling or accessories;
ii. Damage limited to propellers, wing tips, antennae, tyres, brakes, fairings, small dents or
punctured holes in the aircraft skin, which adversely affects its structural strength,
performance or Pight characteristics and which would not normally require major repair
or replacement of the affected component, or
(c) The aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible or
(d) Signi?cant damage is caused to property of the Company or any third party
A Serious Injury means an injury that is sustained by a person in a reportable accident

and which:
(a) Requires their stay in hospital for more than 48 hours commencing within seven days
from the date on which the injury was received.
(b) Results in a fracture of any bone (except fracture of ?ngers/toes/nose).
(c) Involves lacerations that cause nerve, muscle or tendon damage or severe
haemorrhage or involves injury to any internal organ.
(d) Involves second- or third-degree burns affecting more than ?ve per cent of the body
surface.
(e) Involves veri?ed exposure to infectious substances or injurious radiation.
The only answer that satisfies the definition above then is:
A person suffers a serious injury by tripping over the threshold of the aircraft door during
boarding

6,000 ft everywhere in the UK
1 of 2 27/10/2023, 23:59
Explanation
published in the UK AIP
The Transition Altitude has a fixed value and does not change with the ambient
pressure setting. It is defined in the AIP, and for the UK is nominally 3,000ft, but may
be di"erent in certain areas of the UK (typically 5,000ft or 6,000ft). It is not
dependent upon whether inside or outside of controlled airspace).

Question 17
If a pilot =nds a defect on the aircraft prior to ?ight, what course of action should be
taken?
Question ID: 2145
The defect must be logged on the aircraft technical log or ?ight authorisation sheet,
and the owner/operator/maintenance organisation equipment list checked to see if
the ?ight may still be made with the defect present
Providing the defect is logged on the aircraft technical log or ?ight authorisation
sheet, and acknowledged by the owner/operator/maintenance organisation, the
?ight may be made
Explanation
All defects found prior to flight must be logged in accordance with the procedures
1 of 2 28/10/2023, 00:00
laid down by the operator/maintainer of the aircraft. Some defects may result in the
planned flight
No ?ight having towith
is possible be abandoned or postponed
any outstanding until
defect on an the defect is fixed. Some
aircraft
defects may preclude certain types of flight from taking place (e.g. training flights, or
restricting the flight to a single flight to the maintenance base by an instructor for
example). Again, the details as to how di"erent defects a"ect the operational
capability of the aircraft are laid down by the aircraft operator/maintainer.
Providing the defect is logged on the aircraft technical log or ?ight authorisation
sheet, the ?ight may be made

Question 18
If a country is an ICAO member state, can that country have country-speciCc rules?
Question ID: 3233
No
Yes, but the pilot must email the destination aerodrome to ask if any ICAO
differences exist
Yes, and any ATSU can advise the pilot of those differences
Yes, providing the differences to the ICAO rules are stated in that country's AIP
1 of 2 28/10/2023, 00:00
Explanation
An ICAO member state is expected to adopt most of the ICAO rules. However, each
state is allowed to have country-specific rules (that di"er from ICAO) providing they
detail those di"erences in their aeronautical documentation. THis is normally in the
AIP for that country.

Question 19
What is the de<nition of a Danger Area?
Question ID: 3010
An airspace of speci<ed dimensions within which activities that may be dangerous

to aircraft take place between speci<ed periods

to aircraft take place for which an ATC service is available for crossing
An airspace of speci<ed dimensions surrounding active aerodromes
1 of 2 28/10/2023, 00:00
to aircraft take place as speci<ed by NOTAM only
Explanation
Danger areas (as the name suggests) are areas of airspace de<ned by lateral and vertical
extents that might contain activities that are dangerous to aircraft! Danger Areas MAY be
activated by NOTAM, or may be permanent, or might have scheduled times of activity as
de<ned in the AIP. There may also be a Danger Area Crossing Service available for SOME
danger areas.

Question 20
If a licence holder suffers a major injury and is un?t to perform @ight crew duties, the
medical certi?cate or declaration:
Question ID: 135
shall be deemed to be suspended
must be renewed by a full initial medical
remains current if a medical examination is carried out within 21 days of the injury
occurring
is still current provided the Class Ratings are current
1 of 2 28/10/2023, 00:01
Explanation
The easiest way to explain this scenario is to imagine that the ink on the pilots medical
certi?cate has the ability to become invisible. When an injury affecting the ability of the
pilot to perform their function as a pilot, then the ink disappears, leaving a blank sheet of
paper. In other words, the medical certi?cate is deemed to be suspended, even though no
visit to an AME or the CAA (regulatory authority) has been made. The certi?cate
becomes un-suspended (the ink re-appears) when the condition affecting the pilot no
longer exist.
