(2) then to a specified alternate and thereafter for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed.

(3) and thereafter for 20 minutes at normal cruising speed.

(1) and then fly for a period of 45 minutes at normal cruising speed.

(2) and then fly for a period of 30 minutes at normal cruising speed.

(4) then to a specified alternate and then fly for a period of 30 minutes at normal cruising speed.

9.03 If a flight plan is not filed, a flight itinerary must be filed

(1) for flights proceeding 25 NM or more from the point of origin.

(2) only for flights in sparsely settled areas.

(3) for flights destined to land at aerodromes or places other than the point of origin.

(4) for all flights.

9.04 After landing from a VFR flight for which a flight plan has been filed, the pilot shall report the arrival to the appropriate ATS unit within

(1) 15 minutes.

(1) as soon as possible.

(2) within 10 minutes.

9.06 Where no search and rescue initiation time is specified in a flight itinerary, when shall the pilot report to the "responsible person"?

(1) Within one hour after the expiration of the estimated duration of the flight specified in the flight itinerary.

(2) Within one hour after landing.

(3) Within 24 hours after the expiration of the estimated duration of the flight specified in the flight itinerary.

(4) As soon as practicable after landing but no later than 24 hours after the last reported ETA.

(4) except at airports served by a control tower in which case the tower will automatically close the flight plan.

9.09	Estimated elapsed time A to B	1 hour 15 minutes.
	Estimated stopover time at B	30 minutes.
	Estimated elapsed time B to C	1 hour 20 minutes.

Using the above information, what time should be entered in the "Elapsed Time" box of a VFR flight plan?

(1) 3 hours 50 minutes.

(2) 3 hours 20 minutes.

(3) 3 hours 05 minutes.

(4) 2 hours 35 minutes.

9.10 When filing a VFR flight plan with an intermediate stop, the total elapsed time to be entered is the total

(1) elapsed time for all legs including the duration of the intermediate stop.

(2) elapsed time for all legs, plus the intermediate stop, plus 45 minutes.

(3) flight time for all legs.

(4) elapsed time to the first landing plus intermediate stops.

9.11 How is an intermediate stop indicated on the flight plan form for a VFR flight?

(1) By including duration of the intermediate stop in "Elapsed Time" box as ATC automatically checks time between points.

(2) Same as any VFR flight plan if the intermediate time does not exceed 30 minutes at each point.

(3) By repeating the name of intermediate stop and its duration in the "Route" column.
