The surface wind is 300112 gusting 20kts but there is grass cutting in progress in the vicinity of
the overrrun of runway 28. ATC gives you a clearance to depart from runway 19. As 19 is some
2000ft shorter than 28 and only just within limits for use, are you obliged to accept the clearance?
a.
b.
c.
d.
2.
A TC advises you that you are cleared for take off and cleared via SID DET3Z to climb initially
to 6000ft maintaining own separation in VMC. Is this a valid clearance?
a.
b.
c.
d.
3.
No, you can request the contractors to be cleared from the overrun
Yes, it is ATC that decides which runways can be used
No, but it would then be up to your operator to negotiate with the aerodrome
management for a special relaxation
Yes, but you must get acknowledgement from ATC that they accept responsibility for
the safety of the aircraft
Yes, the SID is valid for the route and IFR flights may climb or descend maintaining
own separation in VMC
No, you may request a climb or descent under IFR in VMC but you cannot be ordered
to do it
No, because it does not tell you what to do after you reach 6000ft
No SIDs are applicable only to IFR flights and for all IFR flights ATC provides
separation (normally by radar)
You have been cleared to taxi for runway 28R at Heathrow. Your EOBT allowed 17 minutes taxi
and hold time. A warm front is approaching from the south and the temperature is expected to
rise by SOC with the passage of the front. By the time you arrive at the holding point for 28R the
temperature has risen by 2C. Would you expect ATC to inform you of the change?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Yes
No
Yes if there was also a temperature inversion in the first 1000ft above the aerodrome
Yes, if 2 is considered a significant change

You are at the take off holding point for 28R awaiting take off clearance from the aerodrome
controller. Low vis landing operations are in progress on 28L. A landing aeroplane reports to
ground control that one of the PAPI lights is inoperative. Would you expect the aerodrome
controller to pass this information to you?
a.

You elect to carry out a visual approach and land. With Approach you descend to below cloud
ceiling and you are cleared to track outbound on the reciprocal of the runway QDM descending
to IOOOft and at DME 5 to carry out a procedure tum and advise 'field in sight' to Tower. There
is no other VFR or IFR traffic at the aerodrome. At what point would you expect to change
frequency to Tower?
a.

Any approach carried out with only the use of visual aids
An instrument approach in VMC
Part or all of an instrument approach carried out with regard to visual reference

ground is maintained

London Director gives you radar vectors to the FAF for ILS on 28L. You are cleared to descend
to 2500 ft (the initial approach height) and at that altitude you are well below the lowest cloud.
When established on the centreline with 3 nm to run to the FAF you can see the landing runway
and traffic ahead. Are you required to continue the instrument approach?
a.
b.
c.
d.
9.
c.
d.
11.
Yes. You are IFR traffic and you remain IFR until the FP is cancelled
Yes. The London CTR is class A airspace and VFR procedures are not permitted
No. You may request to make a visual approach providing visual reference to the terrain
can be maintained and the cloud ceiling is above the initial approach level/altitude
Yes, but who is to know that you are flying the approach visually

You will be told to hold on another facility or put to the top of the stack
You will be required to descend in tum and from the bottom of the stack you will be
routed via the missed approach procedure to the top of the stack
Those above you, when it is their tum, will commence the procedure at that
height/altitude
You have no choice. You must go along with the majority decision.

approach

The Approach controller anticipates a delay of 20 minutes for your arrival and directs you into
a holding pattern. Will he pass you an EAT?
a.

18.
You, and six others, are in a holding pattern awaiting clearance to commence an instrument
approach and you have been given an EAT. Due to congestion on the ground, arrivals are
delayed by a further 5 minutes to let 4 departures to take place. Would you expect to be given
a revised EAT?

b.
c.
d.
Yes, you could ask to make an approach, but the ATC controller may deny you the
opportunity and you would then have alerted the others in the stack
Yes you can, but if you do not land off the approach you will go to the top of the stack
and loose your place
No you are not permitted to leave the stack except in tum or in an emergency
This is a totally hypothetical situation. No sensible commercial air transport operation
would ever consider such an underhand slimy nasty backstabbing ploy - would they!

You are in a holding pattern and you get a message on your company frequency that the obstacle
that is blocking the landing runway is about to be moved. You work out that if you try an
approach now, you might be lucky and jump the queue. Can you do it and if so, what is the
gamble?
