Hi,

I have a few questions which I came across in the Volare Question Bank and I have a few doubts. Here are the questions:

Q220) DONE
An ATS airspace where IFR and VFR are permitted and
receive flight information service if requested, is

Q212) PENDING

C) 60 months until age of 30, 24 months until age of 40, 12

D) 150 m (492 ft)

Q405) DONE

A) 5 minutes.
B) 10 minutes.
C) 8 minutes.

From a cursory look at the questions (i.e. without checking the details), I would reckon the answer schemes are correct and therefore, I would start to question the reference books you are using.

Definitely Q212, 290 and 276 are correct per the marking scheme so if there are errors in your learning material, you should take this up with your groundschool.

I notice that you have posted a few threads questioning the Volare answers but maybe the manuals need to be checked.

Cheers

Q405) according to my book it's correct 3 minutes for the same track and the preceeding aircraft is maintaining a true airspeed of 40 kt or more faster.
Q220) Advisory Service on space F ..I don't know!:ugh:
Q212) JAR–FCL 3.105 Period of validity of medical certificates
Class 2 medical certificates,
60 months until age [ ][40], then 24 months
until age 50 and 12 months thereafter.
But on my database B is correct. :ooh:

Okay, I'll be a bit more specific regarding my doubts.

Q405)
I also would consider the 3 minute answer correct, but one condition isn't met for it to be 3 minutes. Yes it's true that the longitudinal separation minima between aircraft
departed from the same aerodrome and following the same track, and the preceeding aircraft is maintaining a true airspeed of 40 kt or more faster than the succeeding aircraft, is 3 minutes but given that the navigation aids permit frequent determination of position and speed. Perhaps I'm being to picky with the questions but that would be the correct answer then.

Q290)
Can someone explain what they mean by "including an amendment services"?

Q276)
What is the frequency 2.182 Khz used for? I know that 121.5 Mhz is the civil distress frequency, 243.0 Mhz is the military distress frequency but unsure of 2.182 Khz.

[Whirlygig]

With many of the JAA questions, you pick the one that is least wrong!

An amendment service is where any updates are regularly sent through to the subscriber.

2.182 kHz is, I believe, a maritime distress frequency.

Well then I guess regarding Q405) my book is wrong in that it says 2 minutes. Right, only two questoins left: Q212) and Q319).

Thanks.
