#14. What are the minimum hours required to obtain a full microlight licence?
#15. How high does an ATZ extend above QFE?
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.
#16. When must you file a flight plan?
#17. 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.
#18. How long must you keep your personal flying log for after your last flight?
#19. How long are logged hours valid for NPPL students taking their GST?
#20. What is the minimum amount of third party insurance required for a microlight?
This is measured in Special Drawing or SDR Rights
An SDR (Special Drawing Right) is a currency unit of the International Monetary Fund and is used worldwide as a method of determining value. It is based on a selection of foreign currencies and therefore fluctuates in value on a continual basis in the same way as any currency does.
#21. NPPL pilots may self-declare themselves medically fit to fly, at what age does this need renewing?
#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. 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.
#24. Is an aircraft with a fixed radio required to have an Aircraft Radio Licence?
