Air law and operational procedures (regelverk)
Air law and operational procedures (regelverk) tests whether you can apply the EASA-based rules Norway uses for private VFR flight: licence privileges, medical validity, recency, documents, and the SERA visual flight rules. It is not a memory test of paragraph numbers; questions usually place a flight scenario in a rule.
Licence and recency
A PPL(A) is a private licence: you may fly non-commercially and carry passengers, but you may not receive remuneration. Cost sharing is possible only within Part-FCL conditions. A Class 2 medical is required. For passenger carrying, you need three take-offs and three landings in the same class/type within the preceding 90 days. The SEP class rating is valid for two years; do not confuse rating validity with medical validity or with the 90-day recency.
VFR minima
Under SERA.5001, at and above 3000 ft AMSL or 1000 ft AGL (whichever is higher), VFR requires 5 km flight visibility, 1500 m horizontal distance from cloud and 1000 ft vertical distance from cloud. At and below that level, the requirement is 5 km flight visibility, clear of cloud and with the surface in sight. National/AIP differences and controlled-airspace clearances must be checked.
Worked example
You plan a VFR leg in Class G at 4500 ft AMSL. The higher of 3000 ft AMSL and 1000 ft AGL is 3000 ft AMSL, so you are above the lower band: 5 km visibility, 1500 m horizontally and 1000 ft vertically from cloud. If you descend to 2500 ft AMSL, you may use the lower band only if clear of cloud and the surface is in sight, still with 5 km visibility.
Traps
Using 3000 ft AGL instead of the higher of 3000 ft AMSL/1000 ft AGL; thinking “clear of cloud” applies at all levels; assuming a PPL may accept payment; forgetting the 90-day passenger recency; and entering controlled airspace without a clearance.
