Q1. Under CARs Part IX, at what weight does a remotely piloted aircraft (RPAS) become subject to Transport Canada's mandatory registration requirement?

A. 250 g up to and including 25 kg
B. 500 g up to and including 25 kg
C. 1 kg up to and including 35 kg
D. Any weight, including sub-250 g micro drones

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. 250 g up to and including 25 kg

Part IX applies to RPAS weighing 250 g up to and including 25 kg operated within visual line-of-sight. Drones under 250 g (true micro drones) fall outside this registration and pilot-certification regime, though operators are still expected to fly responsibly.

Q2. On a VFR Navigation Chart (VNC), what does a solid blue line enclosing an area around a major airport typically represent?

A. The boundary of controlled (e.g. Class C or D) airspace
B. A Class F restricted area
C. A magnetic variation isogonic line
D. A float plane operating area

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. The boundary of controlled (e.g. Class C or D) airspace

Blue lines on VNCs delineate controlled airspace such as control zones and terminal control areas around busy airports. Restricted areas are shown with their own hatched boundary and a CYR identifier, not a plain blue control-zone line.

Q3. A TAF forecast includes 'PROB30 2022 1/2SM FG'. What does PROB30 indicate?

A. A 30 percent probability that the stated conditions (1/2SM visibility in fog) will occur during the period
B. A guarantee that fog will reduce visibility to 1/2SM for 30 minutes
C. 30 percent cloud cover expected with fog
D. The forecast confidence level is rated 30 out of 100 for the entire TAF

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. A 30 percent probability that the stated conditions (1/2SM visibility in fog) will occur during the period

PROB30 indicates there is a 30 percent probability of the specified conditions occurring during the stated time period, here 2000Z to 2200Z, with visibility dropping to 1/2SM in fog. It's a probability qualifier applied to a specific weather scenario, not an overall confidence rating for the whole TAF. RPAS pilots should treat this as a possible but not certain hazard to plan around.
