Air Law - practice test

Pass mark 75% from twenty randomly chosen questions.

Results

#1. Class C airspace is mostly found in the UK at or above...

10,000ft

FL195

FL245

FL145

#2. What is the minimum visibility for flight outside controlled airspace, below 3000 feet by an NPPL holder in a microlight aircraft?

3000 metres

1500 metres

10000 metres

5000 metres

VFR minima

For operations in class G airspace the legal VFR minima allow flight in potentially very poor conditions. Clear of cloud, visibility of 1500 m and in sight of the surface is all that is required if below 3000 ft AMSL and flying at less than 140 kts.

The limiting factor is usually cloud rather than in-flight visibility – in conditions approaching 1500 m visibility, the cloud ceiling would likely mean flying dangerously low.

The legal minima are not a good reference point for decision making because safe VFR flight normally ceases to be possible long before the visibility is that poor. They are limits, not targets!
