Unfortunatly a lot of the regs are open to interpretation and these questions go along those lines so I am just after other peoples opinions.
First off:
Windshield clear vision equipment is required to be fitted to?
all aircraft
all aeroplanes above 5700 kg MTOW
all aircraft operating under the VFR
all aircraft operating under the IFR
5 Windshield clear vision equipment
5.1 An aircraft with a flight compartment windshield may only be operated under the
V.F.R. or the I.F.R. if it has a means of clearing heavy outside precipitation from the
windshield at a rate which ensures an unobstructed view for each pilot.
Note I.F.R. is defined in subregulation 2 (1) of CAR 1988.
5.2 Paragraph 5.1 does not apply for:
(a) an aeroplane with a MTOW less than 5 700 kg; or
(b) a helicopter with a MTOW less than 2 750 kg maximum;
if the windshield design satisfies CASA that moderate rain will not impair the pilot’s
view for take-off, landing or normal flight.
if you dont read into it to much the answer would be all aircraft greater than 5700kg. but what if the windshield design doesn't satisfy CASA.. then an aircraft under 5700kg would need windshield clear vision equipment, meaning the first answer could be correct?
Second:
For an IFR RPT pressurised turbojet flight from PERTH to SINGAPORE in CTA, the minimum requirements for altitude alerting/assigned altitude indication systems is -
1 an assigned altitude indicator and an altitude alerting system
2 an assigned altitude indicator or an altitude alerting system
3 an assigned altitude indicator
4 an altitude alerting system
the regs state:
7.2 Pressurised turbine engined aircraft operating in controlled airspace under Instrument
Flight Rules (except night V.M.C.) shall be equipped with an altitude alerting system.
7.3 Unless equipped with an altitude alerting system, an aircraft operating in controlled
airspace under Instrument Flight Rules (except night V.M.C.) shall be equipped with
an assigned altitude indicator.
So a pressurised turbine needs an altitude alerting system, but 7.3 states that if you dont have an altitude alerting system then a assigned altitude indicator will suffice. there is no mention of which type of aircraft 20.18-7.3 is related too.
so is the answer 2, 3 or 4?
thanks in advance for your input.
