How bizarre! I posted that very question a few weeks back. Like you, I was surprised with the answer. I'm not sure that it is particularly clear in any of the text books.
Still, I haven't sat the exam yet!

Just being pedantic here, but how can you have FIVE primary objectives ? Surely you can have only one primary objective (and all of the others would be secondary, teriarty, etc). Bit like saying that you have the bigger half of an apple.

Thats the UKCAA for you Whopity!
I remember being marked wrong in an exam question and talking to my instructor about it, he agreed that the answer I put was correct...but not the one the CAA wanted...cant remember which exam.
Some of wording in the ATPL's is even worse!

My Personal Favourite
I thought the question:
What is the minimum forward flight visibility for a UK-issued JAR-FCL compliant PPL(A) in uncontrolled airspace without any additional ratings (i.e IMC or IR).
a) 8km
b) 5km
c) 3km
d) 1500m
Was a tad cheeky!
Your thoughts?
Spru!

Depends on whether it's a UK national PPL(A), a UK-issued JAR-FCL compliant PPL(A) (and if so, whether the holder also has an IMC or IR), or a non-UK issued JAR-FCL compliant PPL(A).
And it also depends on who's uncontrolled airspace it is, and whether it's F or G.

Okay. The tricky thing is the ANO, which imposes a blanket limitation, regardless of the airspace, for any such PPL holder, to a minimum flight viz of 3 km in uncontrolled airspace.
(ANO Schedule 8, Part A, Section 1, Subsection 1, PPL, article 2c.)
If the PPL holder also holds an IR or IMC, then the class F/G minima apply, which range from 1500m to 8km, depending on altitude, as per the UK IAP.
http://www.ais.org.uk/aes/pubs/aip/pdf/enr/20104.PDF
So the only answer that's false in any case is 1500m. The others may all be correct, depending on the altitude: 3km below 3000 feet, 5km between 3000 feet and FL100, and 8km above FL100.

Privilages of the licence and VMC are two different things. There is an area of VMC that a normal PPL cannot explore without the addition of an IMC rating or IR - the question states 'with no additional qualifications'.
Therefore the additional qualifiers of under 3000' and less than 140kts become factors.....

I'm assuming the answer is 3km if as the question states there are '... no additional qualifications'?

I think the original question should have included an altitude limitation as well - say below 3000 feet. In which case the answer is 3km (the ANO limitation for a PPL with no additional ratings), whereas somebody not knowing the ANO limitation would answer 1500m (the VMC limitation for uncontrolled airspace below 3000 feet).
