The runway configuration does not allow it

Icao annex 2 . 3 2 5 operation on and in the vicinity of an aerodromean aircraft operated on or in the vicinity of an aerodrome shall whether or not within an aerodrome traffic zone a observe other aerodrome traffic for the purpose of avoiding collision . b conform with or avoid the pattern of traffic formed by other aircraft in operation . c make all turns to the left when approaching for a landing and after taking off unless otherwise instructed . d land and take off into the wind unless safety the runway configuration or air traffic considerations determine that a different direction is preferable

Question 9-4 : According to the standardised european rules of the air what shall be the distance from clouds when an aircraft flies under vfr in the following conditions .airspace class g . .aircraft altitude 3500 ft amsl . .terrain elevation 2800 ft amsl ?

Clear of clouds and with the surface in sight

Refer to figure . .to fly under vfr the visual meteorological conditions vmc must exist this is defined by altitude or flight level flight visibility the forward visibility from the flight deck of an aeroplane in flight and distance horizontally and vertically from cloud for the relevant classes of airspace .the attached figure details the clearance to clouds to be maitained at the different altitude .in this case the aircraft's altitude is less than 1000 ft agl thus the clerance to be maintained is clear of cloud and in sight of the ground ccisg ..video explanation exemple 121 Clear of clouds and with the surface in sight.

The aircraft shall follow the rules according to sera and follow the rules according to the us airspace

Icao annex 2 . chapter 2 applicability of the rules of the air2 1 territorial application of the rules of the air . 2 1 1 the rules of the air shall apply to aircraft bearing the nationality and registration marks of a contracting state wherever they may be to the extent that they do not conflict with the rules published by the state having jurisdiction over the territory overflown when an aircraft is flying within the airspace of the state of registration the rules of the air of that state are applicable indeed for an italian registered aeroplane the italian rules apply wherever the aeroplane is flown providing there is no confliction with local rules where an italian registered aircraft is flying over a foreign state the rules of the air of that state apply do not confuse rules with law the application of the rules can be summarized thus italian registered aircraft over italy italian rules apply italian registered aircraft over usa italian and usa rules apply usa have priority italian registered aircraft over the high seas icao rules apply without exception exemple 149 The aircraft shall follow the rules according to sera and follow the rules according to the us airspace.

Question 9-24 : When is an aircraft likely to be intercepted ?

When deviating from the route without evidence/without a valid reason

Interception of civil aircraft should be avoided and should be undertaken only as a last resort if undertaken the interception should be limited to determining the identity of the aircraft unless it is necessary to return the aircraft to its planned track direct it beyond the boundaries of national airspace guide it away from a prohibited restricted or danger area or instruct it to effect a landing at a designated aerodrome .a civil aircraft is most likely to be intercepted if it has lost communication with atc or strays into airspace without appropriate diplomatic or other clearance and without contact with the appropriate controlling authority exemple 201 When deviating from the route without evidence/without a valid reason.

Question 9-26 : You are cruising in uncontrolled airspace at 2600 ft is this allowed ?

Yes if the competent authority defines the transition altitude as 3000 ft or higher

Cruising levels for either all or part of a flight are expressed either as flight levels or altitudes in very general terms aircraft flying at low levels use altitude based on the local area pressure or qnh as the altimeter’s datum setting this provides elevation above mean sea level and is used primarily to remain clear of the surface but is also used for separation in controlled airspace the transition altitude is the altitude at which aircraft switch from using atmospheric pressure qnh to a standard pressure setting when transitioning from the terminal area to en route flight in this case if the competent authority defines the transition altitude as 3000 ft or higher then cruising at 2600 ft would be allowed as it falls below the transition altitude if the pilot is flying above the transition altitude s/he must fly flight levels exemple 209 Yes, if the competent authority defines the transition altitude as 3000 ft or higher.

Question 9-27 : Before an ifr departure the pic is only required to study the current weather is this statement accurate ?

No forecast weather also needs to be studied

Before beginning a flight the pic of an aircraft shall become familiar with all available information appropriate to the intended operation pre flight action for flights away from the vicinity of an aerodrome and for all ifr flights shall include a careful study of available current weather reports and forecasts taking into consideration fuel requirements and an alternative course of action if flight cannot be completed as planned exemple 213 No, forecast weather also needs to be studied.

Give way to aircraft 'b' and inform atc about the traffic

This one is quite simple it is obvious that something is wrong here and that the other aircraft potentially has a problem or is perhaps in breach of clearance etc but that does not matter aircraft 'a' must do the same thing anyway the only safe option here is to give way to aircraft 'b' especially as it is lower on the approach than 'a' and therefore would have right of way clearances notwithstanding and to inform atc it is very much possible that 'b' has lost comms or is in an emergency situation and therefore no longer requires a clearance to land and that standard rules of the air therefore apply and any competent pilot would give way to the aircraft anyway as there is no communication from it so we cannot know its situation or intentions sera 3210 . c 4 i when two or more heavier than air aircraft are approaching an aerodrome or an operating site for the purpose of landing aircraft at the higher level shall give way to aircraft at the lower level but the latter shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is in the final stages of an approach to land or to overtake that aircraft nevertheless power driven heavier than air aircraft shall give way to sailplanes exemple 217 Give way to aircraft 'b' and inform atc about the traffic.
