Like the 'trick' questions in CASA exams (remember those? RTFQ?) there are always nuances.. and it's extremely easy (even for CASA by the looks of it) to get caught out.

By day, yes.. but by night, it's not relevant. Night VFR does not depend solely upon position fixing by ground or water - refer posts above.

Under NVFR you must assume the 8/8ths fog (and various...

Simple. Since for a NVFR flight you must maintain VMC, then the cloud base (for the entire route) must be greater than LSALT + 1,000'. If not, you can't and you don't depart.

Above that line in the sky, the operational requirement in the definition of VMC in MOS Part 91 does not apply. My educated guess is that’s because above that line you’re not going to collide with...

Lighting failure is part of the Flight Test also. I must say a head torch strapped to your forehead ("to be available immediately.." etc. etc.) isn't the most comfortable way to fly. After a few...

You're quite right.. and I do find it totally bizarre that they'd remove CAAP 92-1, CAAP 92A-1 and CAAP 92-3 (for Balloons) but retain CAAP 92-2 (for Helicopters)? There's a disaster waiting to...
