air law Bots

When cruising in a control zone advise atc if your speed varies by:

5%

Advise ATC if eta varies by

+/- 3 minutes

Define helicopter

A heavier than air aircraft supported in flight mainly by the reactions of the air on one or more power driven rotors on a substantially vertical axis

Right of way on the ground

Pass so that the other aircraft is on your left

What are some of the documents required for air transport flight

Journey / tech log answer

Define movement area

Areas used for the purpose of take off, landings, taxing as well as the aprons

Manoeuvring area

Part of an aerodrome to be used by aircraft for take off, landing, taxing excluding aprons and areas designed for maintenance of an aircraft

Define pressurised cabin

Allows for outflow of cabin air as so the cabin altitude is no greater than 10,000 feet

Supplemental oxygen requirements are as follows:

1. n/a below 10,000'

2. for flight crew entire time above 10,000'

3. for crew +10% of pax between 10,000' - 13,000' for more than 30min

4. everyone entire time above 13,000'

Definitions of Class 1, 2 & 3 helicopters are as follows (questions on this are tricky and worded in a backwards way so it will help to know this well

1. Class 1 heli - If engine failure occurs during flight can continue to a suitable landing area, if failure occurs prior to take off decision point or after landing decision point, must be able to land within take off / landing rejection point.

2. Class 2 heli - Engine failure during flight can continue to safe point but if failure occurs during take off or landing may cause for forced landing

3. Class 3 heli - Engine failure at any time will cause forced landing

Flight from Controlled aerodrome to controlled aerodrome file flight plan as SAR...?

SAR NML

A VFR flight plan needs to be filed for what type of flight?

a) a flight crossing international borders(FB is Botswana anything is FS ex is different country

Minimum VFR altitude

500 feet

Controlled airspace weather minima?

5km visibility, 1000ft. vertical & 1.5nm horizontal from cloud

minimum height over a crowd of people (assembly)?

3000ft agl

Helicopters are allowed to fly below 1.5k m visibility it!

fly at speed slow enough to avoid obstacles

When there is a stop in which all passengers remain seated this is the rule -

shut down all engines,

Define night.

30 minutes and before sunrise / 30 minutes and after sunset

Seat belts to be worn by flight crew when

1. Take off & landing,

2. A flight crew member shall, at all times during take-off, landing and while seated at his or her workstation, fasten his or her seat belt. From the caa

example of aircraft 'type'

Glider

Runway markings are what colour?

White

Helicopter VFR fuel reserve

45 minutes or maybe 30 minutes

Red flashing lights to an aircraft on the ground means?

Clear landing area, runway in use

Minimum time after blood donation before commencing work as a flight crew member?

72 hours

Minimum time after alcohol consumption?

8 hours

What is the transition altitude in Botswana?

3000ft agl

Flight plan must be filed how long before VFR flight?

1. 30 minutes

2. 60 minutes (I believe this is the correct answer from the regulation but many people say the contrary)

A pilot-in-command shall file a flight plan for visual flight rules or instrument flight rules before he or she operates

1. a flight or a portion thereof that is required to be provided with air traffic control service;

2. an instrument or flight with advisory airspace;

3. a flight within a designated area or along designated routes if required to do so by the Authority for purposes of facilitating coordination with military units or air traffic control facilities in adjacent states to avoid interception for identification; or

(d) a flight across international borders.

A pilot-in-command shall submit a flight plan to the Authority, except where arrangements have been made for submission of repetitive flight plans

1. at least 60 minutes before departure; or

2. if submitted during flight, at a time that will enable the Authority to receive the flight plan 10 minutes before the time the aircraft is estimated to reach -

(i) the intended point of entry into a control area or advisory area, or

(ii) the point of crossing an airway or advisory route.

(3) Notwithstanding subregulation (2), a person shall not takeoff an aircraft in air transport service unless the flight plan has been filed with the Authority except where he or she is authorised to do so by the Authority.

ATC may give priority to which type of flight? (Unsure of answers on test)

1. an IFR flight

2. an aircraft with a flight plan (this was what I thought to be the best answer)

A pilot-in-command shall not commence a flight in a performance class 1 or performance class 2 helicopter used in air transport service having three or more engines unless that helicopter may, in the event of two critical engines failing simultaneously at any point in the en-route phase, continue the flight to a suitable landing site.

performance class 1 helicopter:

Means operation with performance such that in the event of a critical engine failure performance is available to enable the helicopter to safely continue the flight to an appropriate landing area, unless the failure occurs prior to reach the take-oft decision point (TDP) or after passing the landing decision point (LDP), in which cases the helicopter must be able to land within the rejected take-off or landing area;

performance class 2 helicopter:

Means operation with performance such that in the event of a critical engine failure performance is available to enable the helicopter to safely continue the flight to an appropriate landing area, except then the failure occurs early during the take-off maneuvers or late in the landing maneuver in which cases a forced landing may be required;

performance class 3 helicopter:

Means means operation with performance such that in the event of an engine failure at any time during the flight, a forced landing will be required;

What altitude do you fly on a magnetic track

3000AGL
