Aussie ATPL Air law questions

Hey guys going to sit my ATPLS Air LAW(A) on friday.
just have a pickle with question 7.

RPT aeroplanes with a MTOW greater than 5700kg are required to be equipped with certain flight
instruments. Which combination of instruments is the minimum number which meets the
requirement for provision of HDG information?


• One gyro-magnetic remote indicating compass and one direct reading magnetic compass

• One direct reading magnetic compass and two gyroscopic HDG indicators


• Two direct reading magnetic compass


• Two gyro-magnetic remote indicating compass


• One remote indicating compass and one gyroscopic HDG indicator



Minger's answers suggest
• One remote indicating compass and one gyroscopic HDG indicator

But i need to know why it is not a)
• One gyro-magnetic remote indicating compass and one direct reading magnetic compass.

My understanding of CAO 20.18 APendix II paragraphs 1c, h and 5 are that:
  • you need a direct reading magnetic compass,and a DG hdg indicator. or
a remote indicating compass 'AND' standby direct reading magnetic compass 'AND' DG Heading indicator
Para5 suggests that a Heading indicator in 1(h) may be omitted if you have a Gyro-magnetic type fulfilling paragraph 1c (ii)
Note that 1c (ii) requires a remote indicating compass 'AND' a standby direct reading magnetic compass. (if duplicated powersuply)
the question doesn't say whether or not we have duplicated Power Sup.

therefore i feel the first answer is more correct because in the case of the last answer, you still additionally require a standyby direct reading magnetic compass.


Someone put me out of my misery.

extended to 12 hours duty time.
A 15 hour rest period followed this. You have flown 70 hours in the last 30 days and 800 hours in

You have been rostered to fly as copilot of a two-pilot crew on day RPT flight in a high capacity
turbo-jet aeroplane. Your last Flight Proficiency Test on this aeroplane type was 5 months ago. You
have flown 28 hours on type within the last 65 days including 2 takeoffs and 2 landings and you last
flew that aeroplane 30 days ago.

• ATC will provide separation for your flight with the VFR traffic.
• You provide your own separation based on the traffic information supplied by ATC.
• You provide your own separation base on 'see and avoid' as ATC does not have information

Yes. You'll find them in the AIP, CAO, CAR or CASR's.
It's not a rote learning exercise, in this profession you WILL need to know where to find regs let alone information from the countless manuals you operate from.
