Rules Of The Air

Front 1

Except where necessary for take off and landing ect, and in regards to cities or congested areas, what is the minimum height an aircraft can be from the highest object?

Back 1

1000FT above the highest obstacle whithin a 600M radius of the aircraft (300M for helicopters)

Front 2

What is the minimum height an aircraft needs to be over obstacles or water?

Back 2

500FT. Army 200FT.

Front 3

What is defined as low flying?

Back 3

Flying at less than 500FT. ARMY 200FT.

Front 4

Without specific approval, what is the minimum height for military aircraft aerobatic manoeuvre?

Back 4

4000FT

Front 5

When determining 'right of way' when is an aircraft considered to be 'well clear'?

Back 5

When it is flown no closer then 500FT vertically or 600M (2000FT) horizontally from an aircraft

Front 6

For the purpose of overtaking, what is considered to be an 'overtaking ACFT'?

Back 6

An aircraft that approaches another aircraft from he rear on a line forming an angle of less than 70 degrees with the plane of symmetry of the latter.

Front 7

When one aircraft is overtaking another, which aircraft has right of way?

Back 7

The aircraft being overtaken. The overtaking aircraft shall give right of way by altering its heading to the right.

Front 8

When two or more aircraft are approaching an airfield for the purpose of landing, which general rule of the air determines right of way?

Back 8

the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right of way.

Front 9

When two aircraft are converging at approximately the same height, what rule of the air must be observed?

Back 9

The aircraft captain having the other on his right must give way except that:

power driven heavier than air give way to airships > gliders > balloons.

Front 10

What general rule of the air must be observed for aircraft approaching head on and in danger of collision?

Back 10

Both aircraft must alter their heading to the right.

Front 11

A VFR flight must only be conducted when?

Back 11

1. In VMC
2. Provided that, when operating at or below 2000FT above ground or water, the pilot is able to navigate by visual reference to the ground or water
3. at sub sonic speeds
4. in accordance with the speed restrictions identified in ENR

Front 12

Unless the pilot is authorised to fly under the IFR or at night under the VFR and the aircraft is properly equipped for this, a VFR flight must not what?

Back 12

1. be conducted at night
2. depart from an aerodrome unless the ETA us at least 10 min before last light

Front 13

What must exist before a controller may issue a special VFR clearance?

Back 13

1. The special VFR flight will not unduly delay an IFR flight

Front 14

What is the flight visibility, distance from cloud both horizontal and vertical, and any additional conditions required for VMC at or above 10,000FT AMSL?

Back 14

• Flight visibility: 8km
• Distance from cloud vertically: 1000FT
• Horizontally: 1500M

Front 15

What is the flight visibility, distance from cloud both horizontal and vertical, and any additional conditions required for VMC below 10,000FT AMSL?

Back 15

• Flight visibility: 5000M
• Distance from cloud vertically: 1000FT
• Horizontally: 1500M
• ATC may permit operations in weather conditions that do not meet these criteria (Special VFR)
