@avalanche007, thanks!

I'm standing by, for your reference info. BTW, I have the blue book by RK Bali. You can tell me where to look up the Qs where our answers differ.

One more thing - the vertical clearance between reciprocal traffic and traffic on the same track is 2,000 feet. Correct?

thats for above fl290

Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC): A notice containing information
that does not qualify for the origination of a NOTAM, or for inclusion in the AlP,
but which relates to flight safety, air navigation, technical, administrative or
legislative matters.

So, AIRAC defn is closer, according to me. What do u say avalanche?

@matthew. less questions at a time

[avalanche007]

@aditya:
yes sir you are correct

but then i found this on dgca site

aic 07/2005 G.S.R. 400 (E): Amendment in the Aircraft Rules, 1937, in Schedule II, Section J, pertaining to Commercial Pilots Licence (Aeroplane)

aic 10/2005 G.S.R. 330 (E): Amendment in the Aircraft Rule, 1937, Insertion of Rule 29C after Rule 29B in Part III, pertaining to Adoption of the Convention and Annexes

aic 06/1997 G.S.R. 404(E): (Certificate of Registration) Amendment in Rule 30 of Aircraft Rules 1937.

many more you can find
so seeing these exapmples which give straight forward annswers i came to the conclusion

but still i m not sure

[matthewgamm]

@avalanche007, thanks for the links!

I feel confident about the answers now. However, for the night rating question, from the link, I'd still say the correct answer is a.
What do you think?

What is the time duration for the Air Regulation Exam? Are all questions multiple-choice?

[aditya104]

I just rated this thread excellent, since it now carries SOURCE FOR the answers.

5. Aircraft intending to fly in formation
a. DGCA permission is to be obtained
b. appropriate ATS Unit is to be contacted for prior permission

avalanche ur answer was (b), in Rules of The Air, found the following

3.1.8 Formation flights
No civil aircraft shall be flown in formation.

Next qs

An a/c registered in India need not carry any radio or com. equipment on board
a. provided its AUW is < 1,500 kg and is in VFR contact flying
b. Carriage of radio equipment is mandatory for all flights.
ans: a

avalanche answered a
matthew (b) and I go with b as well

[avalanche007]

@aditya:
well regarding the radio apparatus i guess i have already corrected my answer
it was a type
mistakenly i typed the wrong answer


regarding formation flying i have read the answer somewhere
will now have to search for the source

will be right back for it

[avalanche007]

avalanche ur answer was (b), in Rules of The Air, found the following

well whatever u found is absolutely correct for civil aircraft but the question only mentions aircraft and not its type

and refer this source

SECTION 3

cheers

[avalanche007]

An a/c is issued with a C of A permitting smoking. Passengers start boarding the a/c when refueling is going on. Few of the passengers start smoking. Do you think any rule is being infringed

a. Yes, because smoking is not permitted within 30 meters of a/c or refueling equipment.
b. Yes, because an attendant in an a/c is to ensure that no smoking takes placeor other sources of ignition is allowed to occur when fueling is going on.

ans: a

i guess i found the source for this answer
looking at the 2 options there is an exact rule which states the first option

how second option is little modified
actual rule is
The
attendant shall ensure that no smoking takes place or other source of
ignition is allowed to occur and shall assist in the removal of passengers
in the event of fire

and in the option it mentions when fueling is going on

ref: 25A

so i guess this question is also solved

[matthewgamm]

What about the night rating question?

And again, what is the time duration for the regulation exam?

[avalanche007]

What about the night rating question?

i guess i have already answered it with the reference

what is the time duration for the regulation exam?

i guess its 1.5 hours. gave it long back, so cant recollect exact time.
but then it consisted of 50 questions 2 marks each

[matthewgamm]

i guess i have already answered it with the reference

You have, but the reason I ask is because the link states 'sole manipulator of controls'.

Above what height the flight levels are to be used in India
a. 4,000 feet
b. 5,500 feet
I have read 5,000 feet. I have also read 5,500 feet. But then, isn't 4,000 the lowest transition altitude in India?
What is the correct answer?

[avalanche007]

I have read 5,000 feet. I have also read 5,500 feet. But then, isn't 4,000 the lowest transition altitude in India?
What is the correct answer?

well lowest transition altitude is 4000 feet and as per definition of transition altitude it is said that any altitude below trans alt should be reported in terms of ground level as refernce and altitudes above trns altitude should be reported as flight levels above mean sea level

i hope even you might have read this definition.
so i guess the answer is 4000 feet
and i have read somewhere that lowest flight level can be 5000 feet

so 5500 feet is surely not the answer anyway

[avalanche007]

Requirements within the preceding 6 months of intended flight for a valid night rating are

well first of all the the options are incorrect as they mention 5 take offs and landings and this rule is applicable to PPL holders

for CPL holders it is 10 take offs and landings in last 6 months

and regarding sole manipulator thing

well if you see my all the refernces which i have given at the end of this post (one of ppl and 2 of cpl), in all of them u can find that to have the night rating valid you just need to do certain take offs and landings thats it in previous 6 months

the sole manipulator thing comes into play when you are applying for a fresh application of night rating, at that time you need to have 5 take offs and landings as sole manipulator in last 6 months (check ppl reference)

PPL

CPL

CPL

@avalanche
SECTION 3
The rules in that link-current or outdated?
Refer to question of Formation Flights

Regarding the night rating question:
Don't read the PPL requirements for a CPL theory test. So go with the CPL requirements of 10 take offs and landings as sole manipulator of controls(SOLO). This question and its options are outdated. I would advise all to not trust the outdated question banks, verify the answers..........even the blue books of rules and Bali, are getting outdated vry fast. Every month new rules, which is good.

Even the transition altitude thing is outdated. I mean the system is outdated not the question. What is it in other countries where u trained?

[aditya104]

* SECTION B— Tariff of landing, housing and parking charge at Government Aerodromes *the tariffs for landings are only for Government aerodromes. By govt aerodromes, I guess AAI aerodromes....
Also, the rule says airports not owned by AAI, can charge their own fees, know any such airports?

Also, in case of emergency landing, no exemption? Need to amend the rules to include that?

[avalanche007]

well yes you are correct
but again one mistake
its still not sole manipulator
thats for when u apply for initial night rating

however question asks for keeping night rating valid

so i wouldnt consider sole manipulator if that there in the option

[avalanche007]

The rules in that link-current or outdated?
Refer to question of Formation Flights

well how can you say this rule is outdated
and in question they only mentioned aircrafts and not the type of aircrafts
and the rule which you are stating is for only civil aircrafts

and in flight plan filling form still the provision is given for formation flight entry

so we can still have formation flight in india

if there would be no provisions then there would have been a rule for that stating not only civil but all aircrafts are not authorised for formation flight

but such a rule doesnt exists
