Question 1Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Under Norwegian rules implementing the EASA Basic Regulation, which document must a private pilot carry on board an aircraft when flying in Norwegian airspace?

  1. A written flight-plan approval
  2. A valid pilot licence and a valid medical certificate Correct answer.
  3. Only the aircraft technical log
  4. A copy of the aircraft insurance policy

Explanation

EASA and Norwegian national rules require the pilot to carry a valid licence and the appropriate medical certificate while exercising privileges. The technical log stays with the aircraft but is not a personal document the pilot must carry. Insurance documents and flight-plan approvals are not personal carriage requirements for a PPL flight.

Question 2Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What is the minimum age at which a person may be issued a PPL(A) under EASA rules as applied in Norway?

  1. 17 years Correct answer.
  2. 21 years
  3. 16 years
  4. 18 years

Explanation

The EASA pilot licensing regulation sets 17 years as the minimum age for issue of a PPL(A). A student pilot may begin training earlier, but the licence itself is issued only from age 17. The higher ages apply to other licence categories or to specific privileges.

Question 3Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A PPL(A) holder wants to carry passengers at night. What is required in addition to the basic PPL(A)?

  1. A multi-engine class rating
  2. A commercial pilot licence
  3. A night rating, including the required dual instruction and solo night flights Correct answer.
  4. An instrument rating

Explanation

Night flying with passengers requires a night rating obtained after specific dual instruction and solo night flight experience. The PPL(A) alone does not confer night passenger-carrying privileges. A CPL, IR or multi-engine rating addresses different privileges and does not substitute for the night rating.

Question 4Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

In which category does a PPL medical certificate typically fall for private pilot privileges, and what does it confirm?

  1. Class 3, confirming only colour vision
  2. No medical certificate is needed for a PPL
  3. Class 1, confirming fitness for commercial operations
  4. Class 2, confirming medical fitness for private pilot privileges Correct answer.

Explanation

A Class 2 medical certificate is the standard requirement for PPL privileges, confirming the holder meets the medical fitness standards for private flying. Class 1 is the higher commercial standard. There is no Class 3 category in the EASA system, and a medical certificate is mandatory for a PPL.

Question 5Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What does a PPL(A) holder need before acting as pilot-in-command of a different type of aeroplane than the one used for the skill test?

  1. Only a logbook endorsement from any pilot
  2. A new full PPL examination
  3. A type or class rating for that aircraft, obtained per the applicable requirements Correct answer.
  4. Nothing, since a PPL covers all aeroplanes

Explanation

Pilot privileges are tied to the specific type or class ratings held. To fly a different type or class, the pilot must obtain the appropriate rating, which may involve differences or familiarisation training. A PPL alone does not authorise every aeroplane, and a logbook note from an arbitrary pilot is not sufficient.

Question 6Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Which of the following best defines the 'pilot-in-command' for the purpose of Norwegian operational rules?

  1. The air traffic controller handling the flight
  2. The pilot designated by the operator, or in the case of general aviation, the pilot who is responsible for the conduct of the flight Correct answer.
  3. The pilot with the most total flying hours on board
  4. The owner of the aircraft

Explanation

The pilot-in-command is the person responsible for the operation and safety of the aircraft during flight time. In general aviation this is normally the pilot who conducts the flight and is so designated. Seniority in hours, aircraft ownership, or ATC involvement does not define the role.

Question 7Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Before a flight, what is the pilot's responsibility regarding the aircraft's mass and balance?

  1. The pilot must ensure the aircraft is loaded so that mass and centre of gravity remain within the approved limits Correct answer.
  2. The pilot may exceed limits if the flight is short
  3. Mass and balance is only checked by the maintenance organisation
  4. Mass and balance only matters for commercial flights

Explanation

The pilot-in-command must confirm that the take-off and landing mass and the centre of gravity position fall within the limits in the flight manual. Exceeding limits can degrade performance and control. This responsibility applies to all flights, private or commercial, and is not delegated to maintenance.

Question 8Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Which body is responsible for the operational approval and oversight of civil aviation in Norway under the current structure?

  1. The Norwegian Armed Forces
  2. The European Parliament
  3. Luftfartstilsynet (the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority) Correct answer.
  4. The local aerodrome operator

Explanation

Luftfartstilsynet is the Norwegian civil aviation authority responsible for regulatory oversight and approvals. It implements EASA rules and national regulations. The Armed Forces, the European Parliament, and aerodrome operators do not perform this civil regulatory oversight role.

Question 9Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A PPL(A) pilot wants to fly from Norway to another EASA member state. Which statement about the licence is correct?

  1. The pilot may only fly in Norway
  2. The pilot needs a CPL for any cross-border flight
  3. The EASA PPL is recognised in other EASA member states without a separate conversion Correct answer.
  4. The pilot must obtain a new licence in every country visited

Explanation

A PPL issued under EASA rules is recognised across EASA member states, subject to the pilot meeting the relevant privileges and any local operational requirements. A separate national licence is not needed for each country. Cross-border private flights do not require a CPL.

Question 10Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What is the validity period normally associated with a Class 2 medical certificate for a pilot under 40 years of age?

  1. 60 months
  2. 6 months
  3. 24 months Correct answer.
  4. 12 months

Explanation

For pilots under 40, a Class 2 medical certificate is generally valid for 24 months, while older pilots have shorter validity. This period is set by the EASA medical rules and applied nationally. Twelve, 60, and 6 months do not match the standard under-40 Class 2 validity.

Question 11Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot's Class 2 medical certificate expires during a trip. What is the general rule regarding continuing to fly?

  1. The pilot may continue flying until the next scheduled medical
  2. The pilot may not exercise licence privileges once the medical has expired Correct answer.
  3. The pilot may continue if the flight is under one hour
  4. The pilot may continue if accompanied by another pilot

Explanation

Privileges of the licence depend on a valid medical certificate, so once it expires the pilot may not exercise those privileges. There is no general grace period for a routine trip. Presence of another pilot or a short flight duration does not restore the privilege.

Question 12Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What is the purpose of the 'recent experience' requirements for a PPL holder carrying passengers?

  1. To prove the pilot owns the aircraft
  2. To confirm the aircraft has a current maintenance release
  3. To ensure the pilot has flown a minimum number of hours and take-offs/landings within a defined preceding period Correct answer.
  4. To verify the pilot has paid the annual fee

Explanation

Recent experience rules require a minimum amount of flight time and a number of take-offs and landings within a preceding period before carrying passengers. They maintain currency and safety. Fee payment, maintenance status, and ownership are unrelated to these recency requirements.

Question 13Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot plans a VFR flight in class G airspace in Norway. Which statement about the minimum flight visibility is generally correct?

  1. The pilot must maintain at least the VMC visibility specified for the airspace class and altitude Correct answer.
  2. Visibility is only a recommendation in class G
  3. Visibility may be reduced to zero if the pilot is instrument rated
  4. Visibility is irrelevant in class G airspace

Explanation

Even in class G airspace, VFR flight requires the specified VMC minima, which vary with airspace class and altitude. These are legal minimums, not recommendations. An instrument rating does not permit VFR flight in zero visibility, and the minima are not optional.

Question 14Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What does 'shelf life' refer to in the context of aircraft documents and equipment under operational rules?

  1. The age of the pilot
  2. The time an aircraft can remain parked
  3. The maximum flight duration allowed
  4. The period during which a document or item remains valid before renewal or replacement is required Correct answer.

Explanation

Shelf life refers to the validity period of a document or item such as a certificate, card, or time-limited equipment, after which it must be renewed or replaced. It does not describe parking time, flight duration, or pilot age. Recognising expiry dates is part of pre-flight document checks.

Question 15Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot is unsure whether a planned flight requires a flight plan. Which principle applies under Norwegian operational rules?

  1. A flight plan is required only if the pilot holds an instrument rating
  2. A flight plan is never required for VFR
  3. A flight plan is required only in the cases specified by the rules, such as certain controlled or cross-border flights Correct answer.
  4. A flight plan is always required for every VFR flight

Explanation

Flight-plan requirements are defined by the applicable rules and may include flights in controlled airspace, cross-border flights, or specific conditions. Not every VFR flight requires one, but the specified cases do. The requirement is not tied to holding an instrument rating.

Question 16Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What is the role of the aircraft technical log in operational practice?

  1. To record defects, maintenance actions, and certify the aircraft's release to service Correct answer.
  2. To store the flight plan
  3. To serve as the pilot's personal logbook
  4. To record passenger names

Explanation

The technical log records defects and the maintenance actions taken, and it carries the certification of release to service. It is an aircraft document, distinct from the pilot's personal logbook. Passenger manifests and flight plans are separate documents.

Question 17Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot discovers a defect before flight that affects airworthiness. What is the correct action under operational rules?

  1. The pilot may fly if the defect seems minor to them personally
  2. The pilot must not commence the flight until the defect is rectified or deferred in accordance with approved procedures Correct answer.
  3. The pilot may fly only at low altitude
  4. The pilot may fly if a passenger agrees

Explanation

A defect affecting airworthiness must be resolved or formally deferred under approved procedures before flight. The pilot's personal opinion that it is minor does not override the requirement. Passenger agreement or flying at low altitude does not make an unairworthy aircraft acceptable.

Question 18Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Which statement about alcohol consumption and flying is correct under Norwegian rules?

  1. A pilot may fly after one drink as long as they feel alert
  2. Alcohol is only prohibited for commercial pilots
  3. A pilot must not act as a crew member while under the influence of alcohol, and specific blood-alcohol limits apply Correct answer.
  4. There is no specific rule on alcohol for private pilots

Explanation

Norwegian aviation rules prohibit acting as a crew member while under the influence of alcohol and set specific blood-alcohol limits. Feeling alert is not a valid test. The restriction applies to private pilots as well as commercial ones.

Question 19Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A PPL holder's licence shows a single-engine piston (SEP) class rating. What does this entitle the pilot to do?

  1. Act as PIC of any aeroplane including multi-engine types
  2. Fly helicopters
  3. Act as PIC of single-engine piston aeroplanes within the privileges of the licence, subject to currency Correct answer.
  4. Act as a commercial transport pilot

Explanation

A class rating for SEP aeroplanes permits the holder to act as PIC of single-engine piston aeroplanes within PPL privileges and recency requirements. It does not extend to multi-engine types, commercial operations, or helicopters. Those require separate ratings or licences.

Question 20Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What is the significance of the 'certificate of airworthiness' for a private flight?

  1. It proves the pilot is licensed
  2. It confirms the aircraft meets the applicable airworthiness requirements and remains valid if maintenance is kept current Correct answer.
  3. It replaces the need for a medical certificate
  4. It authorises commercial operations

Explanation

The certificate of airworthiness confirms that the aircraft conforms to its approved type design and is maintained in an airworthy condition. It remains valid only while required maintenance and inspections are current. It is an aircraft document and does not relate to pilot licensing, medicals, or commercial authorisation.

Question 21Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot flying in Norway encounters a controlled airspace boundary and is unsure of the class. Which source should the pilot consult for authoritative airspace information?

  1. A social media aviation forum
  2. A friend's recollection of the area
  3. The aircraft technical log
  4. The current aeronautical charts and AIP publications Correct answer.

Explanation

Authoritative airspace information is published in current aeronautical charts and the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). These are the official sources for airspace classes and boundaries. Forums, personal recollection, and the technical log are not reliable or authoritative for this purpose.

Question 22Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Under EASA rules, which of the following is a condition for a PPL holder to carry passengers on a flight?

  1. The pilot must have filed an IFR flight plan
  2. The pilot must hold a commercial licence
  3. The pilot must have a co-pilot on board
  4. The pilot must have completed the required recent experience and hold valid documents for the flight Correct answer.

Explanation

Carrying passengers requires the pilot to meet recent experience requirements and to hold valid licence, medical, and aircraft documents. A commercial licence is not needed for private passenger carrying. An IFR flight plan and a co-pilot are not general conditions for a private VFR passenger flight.

Question 23Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot's licence is approaching its administrative validity date. What is the practical consequence if the pilot does not renew it in time?

  1. The pilot may not exercise licence privileges until the licence is renewed Correct answer.
  2. The pilot may continue flying for a grace period of one year
  3. The pilot may continue only with passengers
  4. The pilot may continue if the medical is still valid

Explanation

Licence privileges depend on the licence being valid, so lapsing means the pilot cannot exercise those privileges until renewal is completed. There is no automatic one-year grace period. A valid medical alone does not substitute for a valid licence, and passengers cannot be carried on a lapsed licence.

Question 24Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot plans a flight that will cross into a neighbouring state's airspace. Which consideration is most directly relevant to compliance with operational rules?

  1. Assuming Norwegian rules apply unchanged in the other state
  2. Relying on the aircraft's certificate of airworthiness alone
  3. Checking the applicable flight-plan, customs, and airspace requirements for the crossing Correct answer.
  4. Ignoring border procedures for short crossings

Explanation

Cross-border flights require attention to the receiving state's flight-plan, customs, and airspace rules, which may differ from national rules. Assuming identical rules or ignoring border procedures can lead to non-compliance. The certificate of airworthiness addresses aircraft status, not border procedures.

Question 25Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot holds a PPL(A) and wants to add a night rating. Which combination of requirements must typically be met?

  1. Only a medical examination
  2. Only a written examination
  3. Only a certain number of total flying hours
  4. Specific dual instruction at night plus a specified number of solo night take-offs and landings Correct answer.

Explanation

A night rating requires both dual instruction at night and a specified number of solo night take-offs and landings to develop the necessary skills. A written examination alone, a medical alone, or total hours alone does not satisfy the training requirement. The rating is granted after the training and experience are completed.

Question 26Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Under Norwegian operational rules, which document must normally be carried on board a private flight as proof that the aircraft may legally be operated?

  1. The certificate of airworthiness together with the certificate of registration Correct answer.
  2. The aircraft maintenance programme and the weighing report
  3. The engine logbook and the propeller logbook
  4. The pilot's training record and skill test report

Explanation

Aircraft documents that must be on board for a private flight include the certificate of registration and the certificate of airworthiness, since together they establish identity and airworthiness status. Maintenance programmes and weighing reports are kept with the operator or maintenance organisation rather than carried routinely.

Question 27Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A private pilot plans a flight that will land at an aerodrome in another EASA state. Which statement about the licence is correct?

  1. The pilot must convert the licence to a local licence within 30 days of arrival
  2. Recognition applies only if the flight is conducted under instrument flight rules
  3. The EASA PPL is recognised in other EASA member states without further validation Correct answer.
  4. A separate validation issued by the destination state is always required before departure

Explanation

A PPL issued by an EASA member state is recognised throughout the EASA states, so no additional validation is needed for a flight to another member state. Local administrative requirements such as flight plan or customs rules are separate matters and do not affect licence recognition.

Question 28Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Which of the following is a standard condition attached to the privilege of carrying passengers as a PPL holder?

  1. The pilot must have completed a specified number of take-offs and landings in the preceding 90 days on the same type
  2. The pilot must have flown with an instructor within the preceding 12 months
  3. The pilot must have flown at least 100 hours as pilot-in-command in total
  4. The pilot must hold a valid class or type rating for the aircraft and a valid medical certificate Correct answer.

Explanation

Carrying passengers requires a valid licence with the appropriate class or type rating for the aircraft and a valid medical certificate appropriate to the privileges exercised. Recent-experience requirements exist but are expressed as hours and take-offs and landings within a defined period in the relevant class, not as a same-type 90-day rule.

Question 29Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot's Class 2 medical certificate has lapsed. Which statement describes the effect on exercising PPL privileges?

  1. The pilot may fly if a fellow pilot holds a valid medical certificate
  2. The pilot may fly as pilot-in-command only when carrying no passengers
  3. The pilot may continue for a grace period of 30 days while arranging a renewal examination
  4. The pilot may not exercise the privileges of the licence until the certificate is renewed or revalidated Correct answer.

Explanation

A valid medical certificate is a condition for exercising the privileges of the licence. Once it lapses, the pilot must not act as pilot-in-command until the certificate has been renewed or revalidated in accordance with the applicable rules.

Question 30Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What is the primary purpose of the aircraft technical log in day-to-day operation?

  1. To document the pilot's flight time for licence renewal purposes
  2. To record the aircraft's commercial utilisation and revenue flights
  3. To record the mass and balance calculation for each individual flight
  4. To record defects, maintenance actions and the aircraft's operating history between inspections Correct answer.

Explanation

The technical log records defects and the maintenance actions taken in response, and it provides a continuing record of the aircraft's operation between inspections. It is the link between the flight crew and the maintenance organisation.

Question 31Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Before departure, a pilot notices that a required item of emergency equipment is missing from the aircraft. What is the correct course of action?

  1. Do not depart until the deficiency has been rectified or the flight is conducted in accordance with an approved procedure Correct answer.
  2. Record the deficiency in the pilot's logbook and depart
  3. Depart if the flight is short and the weather is good
  4. Depart and obtain the missing item at the destination aerodrome

Explanation

Required equipment must be serviceable and present before flight; a deficiency must be rectified or dealt with under an approved procedure such as a minimum equipment list where one exists. The pilot-in-command is responsible for confirming the aircraft is fit for the intended flight before departure.

Question 32Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Which body performs the regulatory oversight of civil aviation in Norway, including the issuance and supervision of pilot licences?

  1. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency directly
  2. The Norwegian Air Sports Federation
  3. The Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority (Luftfartstilsynet) Correct answer.
  4. The airport operator at the aerodrome of departure

Explanation

The Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority is the national competent authority that issues and supervises licences and certificates in Norway within the EASA framework. EASA sets common rules but does not issue individual pilot licences.

Question 33Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot intends to fly VFR in class G airspace in Norway below 900 m AMSL. Which statement about minimum flight visibility is generally correct?

  1. Flight visibility of at least 5 km must always be maintained
  2. Flight visibility of at least 8 km must be maintained because of terrain
  3. Flight visibility of at least 1,5 km must be maintained, with the aircraft clear of cloud and with the surface in sight Correct answer.
  4. No minimum visibility applies in class G airspace

Explanation

In class G airspace at and below 900 m AMSL or 300 m above terrain, whichever is higher, VFR requires flight visibility of at least 1,5 km, clear of cloud and with the surface in sight. Higher minima apply at greater altitudes.

Question 34Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot plans a flight that will pass through controlled airspace. Where should the pilot confirm the airspace classification and associated requirements before departure?

  1. From the current aeronautical charts and the Norwegian AIP Correct answer.
  2. From the aerodrome's meteorological office
  3. From the pilot's personal logbook
  4. From the aircraft's flight manual

Explanation

Airspace classification, boundaries and associated rules are published in the aeronautical charts and the AIP, which are the authoritative sources. The flight manual and meteorological services do not contain airspace classification data.

Question 35Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

For a private VFR flight departing from a Norwegian aerodrome to another aerodrome in Norway, which statement about the flight plan is generally correct?

  1. A flight plan is required only if the flight exceeds two hours
  2. A flight plan is required only when the aircraft carries more than four persons
  3. A flight plan is not required unless the flight enters controlled airspace or crosses a state border where it is required Correct answer.
  4. A flight plan is required for every flight departing a Norwegian aerodrome

Explanation

Flight plans are required for flights subject to air traffic services, such as those in controlled airspace or crossing state borders, and for certain other cases defined in the rules. A purely domestic VFR flight outside such conditions does not automatically require one.

Question 36Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot's SEP class rating is due to expire. What is the standard route to keep the privilege valid?

  1. Complete refresher training with an instructor within the last 12 months of validity, or pass a skill test Correct answer.
  2. Log 10 hours of flight time in the class during the year
  3. Obtain a new medical certificate and notify the authority
  4. Complete a proficiency check with an examiner within the last 12 months of validity

Explanation

Revalidation of a single-pilot class rating is normally achieved by completing refresher training with an instructor within the 12 months preceding expiry, or by passing a proficiency or skill test. Logging hours alone does not revalidate the rating.

Question 37Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot holds a PPL(A) and wishes to fly at night. Which statement about the night rating is normally correct?

  1. The night rating requires only a valid instrument rating
  2. The night rating requires additional training and a skill test or assessment before the privilege may be exercised Correct answer.
  3. The night rating is included automatically in the PPL(A)
  4. The night rating can be exercised after logging five night landings without further training

Explanation

Night flying privileges require specific training and an assessment with an instructor or examiner before they may be exercised. They are not automatically included in the basic PPL and are not conferred by an instrument rating.

Question 38Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

What does the term 'shelf life' refer to when applied to aircraft equipment and documents?

  1. The maximum flight hours an item may accumulate before overhaul
  2. The maximum calendar period for which an item may remain in storage before it must be inspected or replaced Correct answer.
  3. The time allowed for an aircraft to remain parked without maintenance
  4. The period during which a pilot may exercise a rating after a skill test

Explanation

Shelf life refers to a calendar-based limit on storage or use before an item such as a battery, life raft or fire extinguisher must be inspected, serviced or replaced. It is distinct from operating-hour limits.

Question 39Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot is planning a flight and wants to know the minimum fuel that must be carried. Which principle applies?

  1. Fuel must cover the trip plus a fixed 45 minutes at all times, regardless of aircraft type
  2. Fuel must be at least half the aircraft's usable capacity
  3. Fuel must include taxi, trip, contingency, alternate where required, and final reserve in accordance with the applicable rules Correct answer.
  4. Fuel must be sufficient for the trip only, provided the weather is forecast to be good

Explanation

Fuel planning requires taxi fuel, trip fuel, contingency fuel, alternate fuel where an alternate is required, and a final reserve. The final reserve is defined in the rules and is not a universal fixed 45 minutes for every aircraft.

Question 40Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot discovers after landing that a defect affecting airworthiness has developed in flight. What is the correct action?

  1. Report the defect only if it recurs on the next flight
  2. Enter the defect in the technical log and ensure it is addressed before further flight Correct answer.
  3. Inform the passengers and continue the programme
  4. Continue flying and report the defect at the next scheduled maintenance

Explanation

Defects affecting airworthiness must be recorded in the technical log so that maintenance can assess and rectify them before further flight. The pilot-in-command must not permit flight with a known defect that affects airworthiness unless it is covered by an approved procedure.

Question 41Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Which statement about alcohol and flying is correct under Norwegian rules?

  1. A pilot must not act as a crew member with a blood alcohol concentration above the applicable limit, and the safest practice is to abstain before flight Correct answer.
  2. A pilot may fly with a blood alcohol concentration below the legal limit for driving a car
  3. A pilot may fly after one standard drink if at least one hour has passed
  4. A pilot may fly if a fellow crew member agrees to monitor the flight

Explanation

Norwegian aviation rules set a strict blood alcohol limit for crew members, and the practical guidance is to abstain from alcohol before flight. The road traffic limit is not the applicable standard for aviation.

Question 42Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot's licence has reached the end of its administrative validity but all ratings and the medical certificate remain valid. What is the practical consequence?

  1. The pilot may continue to fly because the ratings remain valid
  2. The pilot may fly only with an instructor on board
  3. The pilot may fly only within Norway
  4. The pilot may not exercise licence privileges until the licence is renewed or reissued Correct answer.

Explanation

Administrative validity of the licence is separate from the validity of ratings and the medical certificate, and privileges may not be exercised once the licence itself has lapsed. The pilot must arrange renewal or reissue before flying again.

Question 43Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot plans a flight across a state border into a neighbouring country. Which consideration is most directly relevant to the operational rules for that flight?

  1. The aircraft's paint scheme must match the destination state's register
  2. The pilot must obtain a new medical certificate from the destination state
  3. The flight must be conducted under instrument flight rules
  4. The flight must comply with the entry, customs, and air traffic requirements of both states, and the pilot must carry the required documents Correct answer.

Explanation

Cross-border flights must satisfy the entry, customs, and air traffic requirements of the states involved, and the pilot must carry the documents required for the flight. A new medical certificate from the destination state is not required, and VFR is generally permitted.

Question 44Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

Under Norwegian operational rules, which statement best describes the pilot-in-command's authority during flight?

  1. The pilot-in-command may delegate command to a passenger in an emergency
  2. The pilot-in-command must obtain permission from air traffic control before any deviation
  3. The pilot-in-command may deviate from rules only when absolutely necessary to ensure safety, and must report the deviation Correct answer.
  4. The pilot-in-command must always follow the flight plan exactly, regardless of circumstances

Explanation

The pilot-in-command has final authority and may deviate from rules to the extent necessary in the interests of safety, but must report the deviation afterwards. Routine adherence to the flight plan does not override safety considerations.

Question 45Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot is preparing for a flight with a forecast of deteriorating weather. Which action best reflects the operational decision-making required before departure?

  1. Depart and rely on air traffic control to provide weather updates en route
  2. Depart and turn back if the weather becomes unsuitable after take-off
  3. Assess the forecast and actual conditions against the flight's limitations and decide whether the flight can be conducted safely Correct answer.
  4. Depart if the aircraft is equipped for instrument flight, regardless of the pilot's qualifications

Explanation

Before departure the pilot must assess forecast and actual conditions against the aircraft's limitations, the pilot's qualifications, and the fuel and alternate plan, and decide whether the flight can be conducted safely. Relying on air traffic control or on turning back later does not satisfy this responsibility.

Question 46Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

For a flight in a mountainous area of Norway, which consideration is most directly relevant to the minimum safe altitude requirement?

  1. The aircraft must remain at least 300 m above the highest obstacle within a specified horizontal distance, except where rules for the phase of flight provide otherwise Correct answer.
  2. The aircraft must remain at least 1 000 m above the highest obstacle in all cases
  3. There is no minimum safe altitude requirement outside controlled airspace
  4. The aircraft must remain at least 100 m above the highest obstacle at all times

Explanation

The minimum safe altitude requirement generally calls for a margin above the highest obstacle within a defined horizontal distance, with specific exceptions for take-off, approach and landing. The exact figures are defined in the rules and are not a universal 100 m or 1 000 m.

Question 47Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

An aircraft's mass and balance calculation shows the centre of gravity will be behind the aft limit for the planned flight. What is the correct action?

  1. Redistribute or reduce the load so that the centre of gravity is within limits before departure Correct answer.
  2. Depart because the maximum take-off mass is not exceeded
  3. Depart and correct the loading in flight by moving passengers
  4. Depart if the flight is shorter than one hour

Explanation

The centre of gravity must be within the certified limits for the entire flight, not merely at take-off. Exceeding the aft limit reduces stability and may make the aircraft uncontrollable, so the load must be adjusted before departure.

Question 48Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot holds a PPL(A) and wishes to act as pilot-in-command of a single-engine turboprop aircraft. Which statement is correct?

  1. The pilot may fly it only with a commercial pilot on board
  2. Any SEP-rated pilot may fly it because it is single-engine
  3. The pilot may fly it as long as the aircraft is privately operated
  4. The pilot must hold the appropriate class or type rating for the aircraft before acting as pilot-in-command Correct answer.

Explanation

The privilege to act as pilot-in-command depends on holding the appropriate class or type rating for the aircraft. A turboprop single-engine aircraft is not covered by the SEP class rating, so specific training and a rating are required.

Question 49Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot's recent experience has lapsed and the pilot wishes to carry passengers. What is required before doing so?

  1. A minimum of 50 hours of flight time in the preceding six months
  2. A new medical examination regardless of the medical certificate's validity
  3. A new skill test with an examiner in all cases
  4. Completion of the required recent experience, such as take-offs and landings in the relevant class, or a check with an instructor where the rules permit Correct answer.

Explanation

Recent-experience requirements for carrying passengers are met by completing the prescribed take-offs and landings, or by a check with an instructor where the rules allow that route. A full skill test is not required in every case, and the medical certificate is a separate matter.

Question 50Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)

A pilot plans to operate from an aerodrome where the runway is contaminated with snow. Which operational consideration is most directly relevant to the decision to depart?

  1. The flight may proceed if the pilot has previously operated from the aerodrome
  2. The flight may proceed because the aircraft's certificate of airworthiness remains valid
  3. The flight may proceed if the aerodrome is uncontrolled
  4. The aircraft's performance must be assessed for the contaminated runway condition, including take-off distance and braking action Correct answer.

Explanation

Contaminated runway conditions affect take-off and landing performance and braking action, so the pilot must assess the aircraft's performance against the actual condition. A valid certificate of airworthiness does not address runway-specific performance.
