When a civil aircraft uses its registration marks as its call sign after the initial contact with air traffic services (ATS), the call sign may be abbreviated to the last three characters of the registration, as long as .

Pilots should use VFR Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers only to map reading in visual conditions, not as a for current charts.

In the proper use of GNSS, pilots should resist the urge to fly into marginal weather when navigating VFR. The risk of getting lost is when using GNSS, but the risk of controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) .

Where can pilots find the suggested format for pilot weather reports (PIREPs)?

In the PIREP below, what is the reported weather condition? .

TAFs are intended to relate to weather conditions for flight operations within of the centre of the runway complex, depending on local terrain.

What does the following mean if seen on a Graphic Area Forecast (GFA)?

Decode the GFA clouds and weather chart information below.

In the above aerodrome forecast (TAF), what is the lowest visibility forecast for CYAM?

In the TAF below, what is the wind direction and speed expected at 2300Z?

What does 320V050 mean in the METAR below?

In the remarks section of a METAR, density altitude will be indicated after sea level pressure when the density altitude is
ft or more than the aerodrome elevation.

A VFR flight encountering instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is not normally given VHF direction finder (VDF) headings. What should a pilot do to receive navigation assistance to the VDF site?

In the interest of conserving wildlife, pilots must not fly at an altitude of less than when in the vicinity of herds of wildlife or above wildlife refuges/bird sanctuaries depicted on affected aeronautical charts.

The landing or takeoff of aircraft in national parks and national park reserves may only take place in accordance with National Parks of Canada Aircraft Access Regulations .

VFR weather minimum in uncontrolled airspace at or above 1 000 ft AGL requires a visibility of by day and by night, and a distance from cloud not less than horizontally and vertically.

VFR flights must with the appropriate air traffic control (ATC) agency entering Class D airspace.

In Canada, the area covered in a Search and Rescue visual search will typically extend to a maximum of on either side of the flight-planned route.

In the NOTAM below, when is the remotely piloted aircraft system activity expected to end?

A licence holder with an operational level of language proficiency must be retested every

What is the Aerodrome Traffic Frequency at Alert (ATF), Nunavut (CYLT)?

In the CFS, where would you find the mandatory circuit patterns and heights, specific VFR routes within zones, restrictions to certain types of traffic, other aerial activities within zones, specific helicopter procedures, and Noise Operating Criteria?

Refer to the CFS and locate the Ottawa VFR Terminal Procedures Chart. Draw and name any 2 symbols found on the chart.
and .

Refer to the CFS and the Hinton/Jasper-Hinton Alberta (CEC4) aerodrome “Lighting” section.
What does ARCAL stand for?
To turn on the aerodrome lights at this aerodrome, you should key the transmitter on frequency .

You are in the circuit at a controlled airport and the tower tells the aircraft ahead of you that it is "Cleared for the option". What does that mean?

Aircraft departing an uncontrolled aerodrome should climb before commencing a turn in any direction to an en route heading. Turns back toward the circuit or airport should not be initiated until at least ft above the circuit altitude.

TSB Aviation Investigation Report A15P0217 states “Therefore, using TC's interpretation of the Night VFR requirements, a flight conducted over an area away from and where there is inadequate ambient light to clearly discern a horizon (i.e. to continue flight solely by reference to the surface) does not meet the requirements for operation under VFR.

Visit the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) website at http://www.bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/index.asp

TSB Aviation Investigation Report A11Q0168 states that “According to Robinson Helicopter Company Safety Notices SN-18 and SN-26, helicopters have stability and much faster roll rates than aeroplanes. Loss of the pilot’s outside visual references, even for a moment, can result in , wrong control inputs, and loss of control. .

Should power line contact become inevitable, what is the best action for a balloonist to take? (Use balloon references.).”

No person shall operate a balloon over a built-up area without carrying on board sufficient fuel to permit the balloon to fly clear of the built-up area, taking into consideration the take-off weight of the balloon, the and the , and possible variations of those factors.”
