Q1. Under UK law, which document sets out the core rules governing unmanned aircraft operations, including offences such as endangering the safety of any person or property?

A. The Air Navigation Order 2016 (as amended)
B. The Highways Act 1980
C. The Communications Act 2003
D. The Consumer Rights Act 2015

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. The Air Navigation Order 2016 (as amended)

The Air Navigation Order 2016 (ANO), as amended, is the primary UK statutory instrument regulating aviation, including UAS operations, registration and offences such as reckless or negligent endangerment. The other Acts are unrelated to aviation regulation.

Q2. A remote pilot notices that the Operations Manual describes a pre-flight check procedure that the team stopped following months ago in favour of a better process. What should happen?

A. Continue using the better process informally and ignore the manual
B. Formally amend the Operations Manual to reflect the improved procedure and communicate the change
C. Wait until the next CAA renewal to update the document
D. Delete the outdated section without replacing it

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Formally amend the Operations Manual to reflect the improved procedure and communicate the change

An Operations Manual must reflect actual practice; informal drift between documented and real procedures undermines safety assurance and compliance. Changes should go through a controlled amendment process so the manual stays an accurate, auditable reference, rather than being ignored or left blank.

Q3. On a chart, an area is marked with a dashed blue line and the label 'ATZ'. What does the dashed style, as opposed to a solid line, typically indicate in this context?

A. Nothing different in most CAA chart conventions, dashed or solid depends on the specific chart legend for that boundary type
B. That the ATZ is inactive permanently
C. That the zone only applies to gliders
D. That the boundary is approximate and unofficial

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Nothing different in most CAA chart conventions, dashed or solid depends on the specific chart legend for that boundary type

Chart legends vary between products, and line style differences such as solid versus dashed are defined in that specific chart's legend rather than a single universal rule, so pilots must always consult the legend for the chart in use. Assuming a fixed meaning across all charts risks misreading genuine boundaries.
