Q1. Two power-driven aeroplanes are converging in the air at approximately the same altitude, with no other rule of the air applying. Which aircraft has right of way?
  • A.  The aircraft that is faster
  • B.  The aircraft that has the other on its right
  • C.  The aircraft that has the other on its left
  • D.  The aircraft that is at the higher altitude
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. The aircraft that has the other on its right
Under the UK Rules of the Air, when two aircraft are converging at the same level, the aircraft which has the other on its right must give way. The aircraft with the other on its left therefore has right of way. Speed and altitude difference are irrelevant to this specific rule.
Q2. A pilot wishes to fly VFR through Class A airspace. What is the correct procedure?
  • A.  Request a Special VFR clearance from ATC
  • B.  VFR flight is not permitted in Class A airspace under any circumstances
  • C.  Obtain a standard VFR clearance and remain clear of cloud
  • D.  Broadcast intentions on the class frequency and proceed if no response
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. VFR flight is not permitted in Class A airspace under any circumstances
Class A airspace is IFR-only; VFR flights are not permitted to operate there at all, regardless of weather or clearance. This distinguishes it from Class D and Class B/C, where VFR can operate with an appropriate clearance.
Q3. Which UK licence category permits solo gliding from age 14, earlier than the aeroplane solo minimum?
  • A.  LAPL(A)
  • B.  LAPL(S) / gliding solo under BGA arrangements
  • C.  PPL(A)
  • D.  NPPL(A)
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. LAPL(S) / gliding solo under BGA arrangements
The UK retains a national exemption allowing solo flight in gliders (and balloons) from age 14, administered through the British Gliding Association framework, ahead of the age-16 minimum for powered aeroplane solo flight.
