PNG CASA CPL Air Law study plan

Map the PNG Civil Aviation Act's structure: locate and summarise the provisions creating CASA PNG, defining its Director's powers, and authorising the making of Civil Aviation Rules.

Distinguish the Minister's powers from the Director's delegated powers and write a one-page comparison table showing who does what.

Explain how a PNG CAR is made, amended and disallowed, and trace the path from Act to rule to advisory material.

Describe the structure of the PNG CARs (Parts, subparts, definitions) and identify which Parts govern licensing, operations, airworthiness and airspace.

Apply the CARs' applicability and compliance provisions to three short scenarios (foreign-registered aircraft, private vs commercial operation, transition/grace provisions) and justify each answer.

Break down the CPL issue requirements (age, knowledge, experience, skill, language) into a checklist and identify which items you can already evidence.

List the privileges and limitations of a PNG CPL and state which operations require an additional rating or approval.

Explain the recency requirements for carrying passengers and for instrument privileges, and calculate whether a given logbook excerpt is current.

Classify the medical certificate classes, their validity periods by age and privilege, and the conditions attaching to each.

Compare CPL, ATPL and MPL pathways in terms of experience credit and cross-credit rules.

Assemble the list of documents and manuals an aircraft must carry on a PNG commercial flight and state the retention period for each record.

Calculate fuel requirements for a VFR and an IFR flight using the CARs' fuel rules (taxi, trip, reserve, contingency, alternate) and show your working.

Explain the take-off and landing performance requirements, including the factors that must be accounted for in the operator's performance data.

Describe the general operating rules on minimum heights, cruising levels, dropping objects, and carriage of persons and cargo.

Identify the equipment carriage requirements for day VFR, night VFR and IFR, and note which items need an approved deviation or MEL entry.

Classify PNG airspace classes and state the service, clearance and equipment requirements for each class.

Explain the difference between controlled, uncontrolled and advisory airspace and the pilot's responsibilities in each.

Interpret a sample clearance and identify readback requirements and the actions needed when a clearance cannot be complied with.

State the VFR meteorological minima and the special VFR conditions, and apply them to three weather scenarios.

Describe the duties of ATS units (tower, approach, area, FIS) and the services a pilot can expect from each.

Outline the aircraft registration process, the certificate of registration, and the conditions under which registration may be suspended or cancelled.

Explain the certificate of airworthiness, its validity, and the continuing airworthiness responsibilities of the owner and operator.

Describe the maintenance control requirements: maintenance programme, approved organisations, release to service and defect recording.

Identify the aerodrome markings, lighting and visual aids and state the meaning of each in a ground-movement context.

Explain ground operations rules including taxi clearances, apron discipline, and runway incursion prevention.

State the communication requirements for VFR and IFR flight, including frequency, position reporting and lost-communication procedures.

Describe the navigation and surveillance equipment requirements and how performance-based navigation approvals are reflected in PNG operations.

Explain the accident and incident notification chain under the PNG AIC Act: who notifies, to whom, within what time, and what information is required.

Distinguish a reportable accident from a reportable incident and classify five sample occurrences.

Describe the AIC's investigation powers, the status of investigation reports, and the protections for privileged or sensitive safety information.

Explain how the Chicago Convention and its Annexes become binding in PNG and identify the Annexes most relevant to licensing, operations, airworthiness and airspace.

State the key ICAO standards on crew licensing, rules of the air and accident investigation and note where PNG practice must align.

Classify dangerous goods by hazard class and state the shipper, operator and crew responsibilities for acceptance, loading and notification.

Describe the security requirements affecting crew and aircraft access, including screening and restricted areas.

Explain the environmental requirements relevant to operations, including noise and emissions standards and local restrictions.

Re-sit timed practice sets across all eleven domains and record a score per domain to expose weak areas.

Re-derive from memory the fuel rules, airspace matrix, licensing currency rules and notification chain.

Review every previously wrong answer and write a one-line reason for the correct option.

Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and compare scores for improvement.
