6.0 Pilot
Responsibilities
|
6.01 If cleared for take-off immediately following
the very low approach and overshoot of a large aircraft, the pilot should
(1) take off immediately otherwise
the trailing vortices will descend into the flight path
(2) taxi to position on the runway
and wait until it is considered safe to take off.
(3) decline take-off clearance and inform ATC of the reason
for non-acceptance.
(4) wait for 2 minutes after the
large aircraft has passed then take off.
6.02 The controller suggests a take-off from a runway
intersection. The pilot must be aware that
(1) the remaining runway length will
not be stated by the controller.
(2) it is the pilot's responsibility to ensure that the remaining
runway length is sufficient for take-off.
(3) the controller will ensure that
the remaining runway length is sufficient for take-off.
(4) noise abatement procedures have
been cancelled.
6.03 A pilot requests an intersection take-off from
ATC. If authorized,
(1) the controller will always give
the remaining runway length.
(2) the controller will ensure that
the remaining runway length is sufficient for take-off.
(3) it is the pilot's responsibility to ensure that the remaining
runway length is sufficient for take-off.
(4) any noise abatement procedures
for the runway are automatically cancelled.
6.04 When an arriving aircraft is cleared "to the
circuit", the pilot should interpret this to mean join the circuit
(1) on the downwind leg.
(2) from the upwind side of the runway
in all cases.
(3) on base leg if convenient.
(4) on final for a straight in approach.
6.05 When a NORDO aircraft crosses an airport for
the purpose of obtaining landing information it should maintain
(1) circuit height.
(2) 1,000 feet above circuit height.
(3) at least 2,000 feet AGL.
(4) at least 500 feet above circuit height.
6.06 An aircraft is "cleared to the circuit" where
a left hand circuit is in effect. Without further approval from ATC a right
turn may be made to
(1) join the final leg.
(2) join the base leg.
(3) join cross-wind or a partial right turn to join the downwind
leg.
(4) descend on the downwind leg.
6.07 When instructed to continue an approach to
a runway which is clear of traffic, what action should the pilot take if
no landing clearance is received?
(1) Circle 360° to the left.
(2) Circle 360° in the direction
of the circuit.
(3) Complete the landing.
(4) Request landing clearance.
6.08 A Special Procedure NOTAM has been published
for an airport, which is 400 feet ASL, stating the circuit height is 1,500
feet ASL. When the ceiling is 1,000 overcast and the visibility is 3 miles,
the circuit height in controlled airspace should be
(1) 500 feet below the cloud base.
(2) 1,500 feet ASL.
(3) 1,100 feet above the airport
elevation.
(4) 1,000 feet above the airport
elevation.
6.09 When the reported ceiling is 1,000 feet overcast
and visibility is 3 miles, to remain VFR, an aircraft cleared to the circuit
must join
(1) as high as possible without entering
cloud.
(2) at 500 feet below cloud base.
(3) at 700 feet AGL.
(4) in accordance with Special VFR.
6.10 Aircraft flying VFR normally join the circuit
at 1,000 feet AAE. This may not always be possible because of
(1) the possibility of a "straight
in" clearance to the airport in which case the final leg would normally be
entered at less than 1,000 feet.
(2) the existence of a special procedures
NOTAM which provides for a different circuit altitude.
(3) weather conditions which may
necessitate a circuit height lower than 1,000 feet.
(4) the existence of any of the above circumstances.
6.11 A pilot on final approach is requested by ATC
to reduce airspeed. The pilot should
(1) comply, giving due consideration to safe minimum manoeuvring
speed of the aircraft.
(2) acknowledge transmission and
execute a 360° turn.
(3) overshoot and rejoin the circuit.
(4) reduce airspeed well below normal
approach speed range.
6.12 A pilot is cleared to land but is concerned
about the high cross-wind component. The pilot should
(1) use full flaps and approach at
a reduced speed.
(2) alter heading and land on another
runway which is more into wind.
(3) overshoot and request an into-wind runway.
(4) continue the approach and land
as the clearance must be obeyed.
6.13 A pilot on a VFR flight is being vectored by
ATC towards an extensive unbroken layer of cloud. The responsibility for
remaining VFR rests with
(1) the radar operator.
(2) ATC since the flight is designated
VFR.
(3) ATC since the cloud is visible
on radar.
(4) the pilot.
6.14 A student pilot on a VFR flight has been given
a radar vector by ATC. Ahead, at a lower altitude, is a solid overcast cloud
condition. The pilot should
(1) climb above the cloud and fly
"VFR over the top".
(2) alter heading as necessary to remain VFR and advise ATC.
(3) maintain heading and altitude
as it is an ATC clearance.
(4) maintain heading and altitude
because ATC knows of the cloud and will issue further instructions.
6.15 An aircraft on a Special VFR flight has been
cleared for a "straight in" approach. Because of low ceiling and poor visibility,
the pilot is concerned about the exact location of a radio mast in the vicinity.
Avoiding this obstruction is the responsibility
(1) of the pilot.
(2) of the tower controller as the
controller is aware of the obstruction.
(3) of ATC as the pilot has been
given Special VFR clearance.
(4) shared equally by the pilot and
the controller.
6.16 A pilot on a Special VFR flight has been cleared
to the circuit. Ahead, at a lower altitude, is a solid layer of stratus
cloud. Remaining clear of cloud is the responsibility of
(1) the tower controller as it is
within a Control Zone.
(2) ATC because the weather is below
VFR.
(3) the pilot and ATC.
(4) the pilot.
6.17 A pilot on a VFR flight in Class C airspace
is advised by ATC to maintain a specific heading. In the pilot's opinion,
this heading will cause conflict with another aircraft. The pilot should
(1) always change altitude as required
to avoid the other aircraft.
(2) maintain the specified heading
to comply with the regulations.
(3) alter heading to avoid the other aircraft and advise ATC.
(4) maintain the specified heading
as separation will be provided by the controller.
6.18 Unless ATC instructs otherwise, pilots operating
VFR shall select transponder code 1200 when flying at or below ..... feet
ASL and code ..... when flying above that altitude.
(1) 12,500, 1400.
(2) 12,500, 1300.
(3) 10,000, 1400.
(4) 10,000, 1300.
6.19 Pilots shall activate the transponder "ident"
feature
(1) before entering control zones.
(2) only when so instructed by ATC.
(3) before every change of altitude.
(4) after every change of an assigned
code.
6.20 The holder of a student pilot permit may for
the sole purpose of the holder's own flight training act as PIC of an aircraft
(1) only when accompanied by a flight
instructor.
(2) by day and night.
(3) by day only.
(4) while carrying passengers.
6.21. The PIC of an aircraft shall comply with any
light signals or ground marking prescribed in the CARs
(1) only while in class C airspace
if they are part of an ATC clearance.
(2) only while in a Control Zone
if they are part of an ATC instruction.
(3) at all times.
(4) at all times provided safety is not jeopardized.
6.22 Before setting out on any VFR flight, a pilot
is required to
(1) read all weather reports received
from stations within 100 miles of destination.
(2) file a flight itinerary.
(3) be familiar with all available information appropriate
to the flight.
(4) obtain an ATC clearance.
6.23 Terminal airspace dimensions and VHF sector
frequencies for certain high density traffic airports in Canada are shown
(1) in the Designated Airspace Handbook
and the A.I.P. Canada.
(2) on the VTA chart and in the CFS.
(3) on the VTA and VNC charts.
(4) in the CFS and on the VNC chart.
