#5. What altitude are you limited to when using MOGAS?
#6. What is the radius of an ATZ if the longest runway is 2000m?
Aerodrome Traffic Zones (ATZ)
ATZ’s are established to give protection to aircraft at the critical stages of flight when departing, arriving and flying in the vicinity of an aerodrome.
Where the longest runway is greater than 1850 metres in length
The zone will normally extend from the surface to 2000 feet above ground level (agl) with a radius of 2.5 NM around the midpoint of the longest runway.
Where the longest runway is less than 1850 metres in length
The zone will normally extend from the surface to 2000 feet agl with a radius of 2.0 NM around the midpoint of the longest runway for aerodromes.

#18. Which of the following excludes a pilot from making a Pilots Medical Declaration (PMD)?
However, a person with a physiological disorder that is controlled by medication may be certified as fit to fly by a CAA Aeromedical Examiner (AME)
#19. You are in communication with an AFIS (Aerodrome Flight Information Service), where does their authority end?
Ref: CAA CAP 413
AFISOs are also permitted to pass messages on behalf of other agencies and instructions from the aerodrome operator. If they do so, they will include the name of the agency so that pilots will be aware that the message comes from a legitimate source, e.g. ‘Wrayton Control clears you to join …’.
With the exception of issuing instructions to aircraft on the ground, AFISOs provide an information service relating to the ATZ and aerodrome. They must ensure that the information given to pilots is distinct and unambiguous, as pilots will use
this information for the safe and efficient conduct of their flights.
An AFISO may request pilots to make position reports e.g.downwind, final etc. These requests do not have the status of instructions, although it is expected that most pilots will comply.
From the information provided by the AFISO, the pilot will determine if it is safe to land, take-off or transit
the ATZ. AFISOs are not permitted to refuse entry into the ATZ when requested by a pilot. The aerodrome authority may decide that they will not permit an aircraft to land at their aerodrome and request that the AFISO pass this message on. Such a message must be prefixed: ‘Message from the aerodrome authority…’ AFISOs may not issue such
messages of their own volition.
#20. What is the mandatory flight instrumentation for a microlight?
#21. What does this symbol mean?
A white double cross signifies that glider flying is in progress. A larger version marks an area to be used only by gliders.
#22. In order to carry passengers, you are required to have made 3 takeoffs and three landings as the sole manipulator of the controls in the previous how many days?
You are allowed to fly the 3 takeoffs and landings with a pilot who is legally entitled to fly the type so long as you are the sole manipulator of the flight controls.
#23. What height does a CTA cover?
#24. What are the operation limitations on an NPPL restricted license?
The minimum requirements before applying to the BMAA for your NPPL (M) restricted license are:
- Flight time under instruction – 15 hours in total, which has to include 7 hours solo
- You also need to hold a valid medical declaration / certificate in order to fly solo
The restricted licence means:
- The pilot must not fly more than 8nm from the departure airfield.
- The pilot must not fly when the cloud base is lower than 1000ft above ground level (AGL) and/or visibility is less than 10KM
#25. Obstructions in airspace MUST be lit if over what height
