What is the maximum blood alcohol level allowed before flying?
0.02 BAC and no alcohol consumption within 8 hours before flight.
What is the minimum visibility required for VFR flight in controlled airspace?
5 km visibility and clear of cloud horizontally by 1500 m and vertically by 1000 ft.
What is Class G airspace?
Uncontrolled airspace where pilots must maintain separation visually.
When must aircraft navigation lights be used?
From sunset to sunrise or in poor visibility.
Who is responsible for ensuring the aircraft is in a safe condition before flight?
The pilot in command.
Right of way
1.Aircraft in Distress: An aircraft in distress always has the right of way over all other aircraft, regardless of its position relative to other aircraft.
2.Head-on Convergence: When two aircraft are approaching each other head-on, both pilots should alter their course to the right.
3.Overtaking Aircraft: An aircraft that is overtaking another must give way to the aircraft being overtaken, and it should do so by passing on the right.
4.Aircraft on the Right: When two aircraft are on intersecting flight paths, the aircraft to the right has the right of way.
5.Gliders: Gliders have the right of way over powered aircraft, as they are unable to maneuver as easily.
6.Converging at Altitudes: If two aircraft are converging, the aircraft that has the other on its right has the right of way. lower=right of way
7.Landing: An aircraft landing has the right of way over an aircraft in flight. When two aircraft are approaching the same airport for landing, the one at the lower altitude has the right of way.
