International Aviation Regulations Quiz

A defined airspace where activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at specific times.

An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited.

The visibility forward from the cockpit of an aircraft in flight.

A machine that derives its lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic reactions.

The approach to landing is the final stage of flight before landing, during which the aircraft is descending and aligning itself with the runway.

A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft which derives its lift in flight primarily from aerodynamic forces.

A type of aircraft that generates lift using a rotating set of blades.

An aircraft that sustains flight using lift generated by its wings, but without an engine.

The part of a flight where the aircraft descends below 1000ft above the specified decision height or minimum descent height while approaching to land.

An airport that an aircraft intends to land at, different from the original intended airport.

An airport that an aircraft can land at in case of an emergency after take-off.

The time spent by a pilot practicing simulated instrument flying using a flight simulator on the ground.

A licensed crew member assigned to perform essential tasks during flight time.

The time a pilot spends flying solo, without any other crew members on board.

The right for an aircraft to land in another participating state for purposes other than passenger, cargo, or mail handling (e.g., refueling or repairs).

A designated airport in a contracting state that provides customs, health, and immigration facilities, where international flights must land for the first time.

A special area in an airport under public authority's control, where passengers can layover without requiring entry into the state (no customs, immigration, or health checks).

The state where the aircraft is registered.

Documents required to be carried on board each flight include the Certificate of Airworthiness, Aircraft Radio License, and Operations Manual.

The Pilot in Command (PIC) has the authority to maintain order and discipline on board a flight, including the right to deal with unruly passengers.

An international treaty that sets limits on the liability of airlines for accidents involving passengers, baggage, and cargo during international flights.

The operator (airline) is responsible for a passenger without a ticket and liable for potential losses if they are accepted on board.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a global trade organization for the airline industry. It aims to improve understanding of the industry, fight for airlines' interests, and strive for reasonable regulations.

The document that confirms an aircraft meets all airworthiness standards and is safe for flight.

The country where an aircraft is officially registered.

The organization responsible for ensuring an aircraft remains airworthy throughout its service life.

The document outlining the necessary crew members and their qualifications for operating a specific aircraft.

The process of ensuring an aircraft remains airworthy by performing maintenance, inspections, and repairs throughout its operational life.

The entity responsible for developing and enforcing airworthiness requirements to ensure aircraft safety.

The chief executive of the state where the operator is registered. Responsible for renewing an AOC.

The document that outlines the operational procedures and regulations for operating an aircraft.

A clearance issued by ATC instructing an aircraft about its route, altitude, and other relevant information, including any specific instructions like departure manoeuvres, communications requirements, or time limitations.

A pilot's obligation to repeat back critical information provided by ATC, like route details, takeoff and landing instructions, and assigned altitudes, headings, or speeds.

The air traffic control unit (ATSU) should be informed when the True Airspeed (TAS) of the flight changes by 5% or more.

When a pilot experiences a loss of communications while in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), they should continue flying in VMC, land at the nearest suitable airfield, and inform the ATSU.

If a pilot cannot continue their flight in controlled visual meteorological conditions (VMC), they should request a revised clearance to continue in VMC and land at the nearest suitable airfield.

A report that a pilot must make to air traffic control, providing their aircraft identification, present position, current time, altitude, intended next position, expected time of arrival at the next position, and the next significant point.
