Gotcha. That makes sense now .......errr sort of! Nasty question though!

The trick is in the use of the word "minimum", since they didn't mention an altitude.

The well known phrase "RTFQ" rings very true, all the way from PPL to ATPL level, it is so easy to mis read the question and jump to the wrong conclusions. By doing the confuser you will hopefully start to understand the way the CAA style their questions which will help.

However there are a few questions where you have to give the CAA answer not the real answer, watch out for them:ugh:

Agree Completely
 

As has been previously stated in this case the correct answer is 3km but you really do need to watch out for the wording.

Them CAA types are sneaky with a few questions!

A classic case of RTFQ Ad Inifinitum until your 100% sure you know what they are asking you!

Spru!
