What should your actions be - what does a white dumbbell displayed in the signal square signify - what is the minimum height you may fly above any congested area of a city, town or settlement - other than persons by parachute in an emergency, what items are permitted to be dropped from a glider in flight - what are the hours of day light (determined on the ground ) as defined for flying purposes - whilst hill soaring what side of the other glider may you overtake - who has the right of way when two aircraft are landing together - what does a red and yellow striped arrow in the signal square of an airfield indicate - what does a double white cross ( ++ ) showing on a runway indicate - what does a white 'T' in the signal square of an airfield denote - before/during a flight who must satisfy themselves that the intended flight can be made safely - VMC for pilots flying in UK in class G airspace at or below 3000ft at an airspeed below 140kts in daylight requires [horizontal, vertical distance from cloud and visibility distance] - What do the initials IFR stand for - The minimum height at which you may fly over a congested area is - With regard to low flying and separation from persons vessels vehicles or structures when and where can you fly closer than 500ft - You are at 1000ft amsl, airspace above you is FL35, QNH is 1028. How much higher can you climb before entering the airspace above. - you are flying at 3500ft en-route between lift sources during a cross-country flight. If an aeroplane is to overtake you at a similar level, how should it pass - What type of Radios are permitted for the use in gliders during flight - Which airspace is controlled by Air Traffic Control - Where it is permissible to fly in uncontrolled airspace(F&G) in IMC conditions and under IFR, what laws are applicable to glider pilots - What Altimeter setting provides an indication of Flight Levels in flight - What is the definition of Night for the purposes of aviation - What does the law require you to do if you are on a converging course with another glider at the same height as you on your left hand side - What does it mean to a pilot in flight when they see Red and green projectiles fired from the ground at 10 second intervals - Formation flying is permitted as long as - An aircraft flying in sight of the ground is following the course of a railway line. The pilot must keep the railway line on which side of the aircraft? - An aircraft must not fly closer than 500ft to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure except for the purpose of: - UK Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) contains static information, updated every 28 days, which contains information of lasting (permanent) character essential to air navigation. What parts is it made up of - At a site that has one area for landing and taking off, which aircraft has right of way? - You are planning on undertaking a cross country flight and the lower levels of airspace along your flight path are defined by altitudes. You altimeter should be set to: - While on an epic cross country flight you realise that you have inadvertently entered a Prohibited Area. Unless instructed otherwise you must: - If an aircraft does not meet ICAO standards and its Certificate of Airworthiness is endorsed indicating so, the aircraft may be flown internationally if permission of the state/s to be overflown has been obtained - What are the sole objectives of an investigation into an accident or incident? - There are 3 emergency transponder codes that every pilot worldwide must know. - The minimum equipment needed for Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight is: - What is the international Aeronautical VHF Distress Frequency. It is used as a universal emergency frequency for aircraft in distress, and is monitored by air traffic control centers and other aircraft in the area. When a pilot broadcasts a distress call on this frequency, all nearby aircraft and air traffic control centers will be alerted and can respond to the emergency. - The air navigation order states that white flashes signalled to an aircraft in flight mean that the aircraft should land at this aerodrome after receiving continuous green light. What are the other light signals in Air Navigation order Section 2 Schedule 1 The Rules of the Air Regulation Section 9 - 61 - Table 4 - who has command of a tug / glider combination? - what must all glider pilots carry while flying - nose of tug to tail of glider, what is the maximum length of a tug / glider combination - what is the minimum age required before flying a glider solo in the United Kingdom - what are the dimensions of an air traffic zone at an airfield where the longest runway is greater than 1850 metres - in what circumstances must you declare medical fitness to fly - Are you allowed to fly through East Midlands CT on a cross contry, if so what must you do/have - what are the VMC minima required for gliders crossing airways - what are the requirements for keeping an accurate and up to date personal flying log book ####### [Feedback](https://t.me/nrbray)
