#2. How often is the UKAIP Updated?
#3. Can you enter a MATZ without clearance to do so?
#4. What is the minimum age to hold a NPPL licence for a microlight?
#5. What commercial use may Microlight pilots undertake?
#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.
#7. What height does a CTA cover?
#8. To display fly at an airshow you must have?
#9. NPPL pilots may self-declare themselves medically fit to fly, at what age does this need renewing?
#10. 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.

#14. 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)
#15. 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.
#16. What is the maximum permitted angle of bank for a microlight, if not further restricted by the aircrafts permit to fly?
#17. When must you file a flight plan?
#18. Can a flight enter an ATZ without permission?
Rule 11 of The Rules of the Air Regulations 2015 – Flying within an ATZ
To comply with Rule 11
1. An aircraft must not fly, take off or land within the ATZ of an aerodrome unless the commander of the aircraft has complied with 2, 3 or 4 as appropriate.
2. If the aerodrome has an air traffic control unit the commander must obtain the permission of that unit to enable the flight to be conducted safely within the ATZ.
3. If the aerodrome provides a flight information service the commander must obtain information from the flight information centre to enable the flight to be conducted safely within the ATZ.
4. If there is no flight information centre at the aerodrome the commander must obtain information from the air/ground communication service to enable the flight to be conducted safely within the ATZ.
#19. Is an aircraft with a fixed radio required to have an Aircraft Radio Licence?
#20. What is the minimum age you can fly solo in a microlight?
#21. Class E airspace is for both IFR and VFR flights but do you require a clearance to enter it?
Class E. Class E airspace is for IFR and VFR use. IFR aircraft require ATC clearance and compliance with ATC instructions is mandatory for separation purposes. VFR traffic does not require clearance to enter class E airspace.
#22. What is the mandatory flight instrumentation for a microlight?
#23. Order of priority in the air is?
#24. What is the minimum visibility in Class G airspace for a flight below 3000ft and travelling then 140kt?
For fixed wing aircraft operating at 140kt or less:
1500 m flight visibility
Clear of cloud
In sight of the surface.
#25. 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.
