  • Classify the rules-of-the-air right-of-way categories and recite who gives way in each case

  • Distinguish the classes of airspace and state the entry, equipment, and clearance requirements for each

  • Summarize the rules on cruising levels, position lights, and collision avoidance in a one-page reference sheet

Your checkpoint

A one-page rules-of-the-air and airspace summary sheet written from memory, then corrected against source notes

Week 2

Air law: legislation and rules of the air

  • Apply the right-of-way and separation rules to ten short scenario prompts and justify each answer

  • Explain the conditions and limits of special VFR and VFR minima in controlled and uncontrolled airspace

  • Describe the signals and interception procedures for both aircraft and ground stations

  • State the rules on minimum safe altitudes and dropping objects

Your checkpoint

A scored set of 20 scenario questions on rules of the air, with a written explanation for every wrong answer

Week 3

Air law: licensing and aircraft registration

  • Map the licensing requirements for each crew role, including medical validity periods and privileges

  • Explain the aircraft registration and nationality-mark requirements, including change-of-ownership and de-registration

  • Distinguish the certificate-of-airworthiness types and state when each is required

  • Describe the maintenance and continuing-airworthiness obligations placed on the operator and owner

Your checkpoint

A comparison table of licence types, medical validity periods, and certificate-of-airworthiness categories

Week 4

Air law: licensing and aircraft registration

  • Answer 25 practice questions on licensing and registration and record the accuracy score

  • Explain the rules on logbooks, recency, and record retention

  • Describe the requirements for crew duty, rest, and flight-time limitations at a summary level

Your checkpoint

A timed 25-question practice set on licensing and registration scored at 80% or higher

Week 5

Air law: aerodromes, airspace and ATS

  • Classify aerodrome markings, signs, and lighting and state the meaning of each

  • Explain the airspace classification system and the services provided in each class

  • Describe the ATS units and their responsibilities, including clearance and readback requirements

  • State the rules on flight plans, position reporting, and communication failure procedures

Your checkpoint

A labelled aerodrome-marking reference card plus a written summary of ATS unit responsibilities

Week 6

Air law: aerodromes, airspace and ATS & Air law: operations, documents and accident reporting

  • Apply airspace and ATS rules to ten operational scenarios and justify each answer

  • List the documents that must be carried on board and state the validity requirement for each

  • Explain the accident and incident reporting chain, including who reports, to whom, and within what time

  • Describe the operator's obligations for occurrence reporting and preservation of evidence

Your checkpoint

A documents-to-carry checklist and an occurrence-reporting flowchart, both written from memory

Week 7

Air law: operations, documents and accident reporting

  • Answer 30 mixed practice questions across all four domains and record the accuracy score per domain

  • Explain the rules on operational control, fuel and loading, and pre-flight action

  • Describe the requirements for passenger briefing, carriage of dangerous goods, and emergency equipment

  • Identify the weakest domain from practice results and list the specific gaps

Your checkpoint

A per-domain accuracy report from a 30-question mixed set, with a written list of the three weakest areas

Week 8

Air law: legislation and rules of the air & Air law: licensing and aircraft registration & Air law: aerodromes, airspace and ATS & Air law: operations, documents and accident reporting

  • Re-drill the three weakest areas identified in week 7 until each reaches 85% accuracy

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions

  • Review every missed question and write the governing rule for each

  • Recite the key numeric limits (validity periods, minima, altitudes, time limits) from memory

Your checkpoint

Two completed timed mock exams with scores recorded and a corrected error log for every missed question

Milestones

Week 2: Score 75% or higher on a 20-question rules-of-the-air scenario set and explain every wrong answer in writing

Week 4: Score 80% or higher on a timed 25-question licensing and registration set
