Chinese written test...
I am currently busy studying for the Chinese written test... from what I understand is the Chinese written test like the FAA test in the US. Computer based with a big database of questions. About 80% is "translated" directly from the FAA.
There are a couple of strange questions and answers though:
When flying in the proximity of a thunderstorm during nighttime, how far away should the airplane stay away of the CB:
- Correct answer: 10 km. (isnt that a little too close??)
When conducting fish-spotting operations the WX minimum is:
- Ceiling no less than 200m, visibility no less than 5 km. (???)
During a night landing, aircraft should turn on their landing lights at which altitude?
- 100 - 70m (so when approaching DH, I have to turn on the landing lights??)
My question to everyone that operates in China... could you please shed some light? I am aware of the book with the Chinese Far's, is there also a book in English available? Are there any other documents available, in which I can find back the above answers?
Thanks
