Practical exam - Biplace 1 Solo
Questions about the airspace
In all practical examinations, the candidate is asked a question about the airspace before the second flight. This is considered flight preparation, analogous to the 5-point check for the first flight. If you are not sure about airspace, discuss this with your instructor before the exam!
Procedure
On the first flight, the candidate is required to complete the 5 pt check under Flight Preparation.
On the second flight, the candidate is asked the airspace question. If he cannot answer this correctly in all points, he will be asked a second question. If he cannot answer this question correctly in all points, the point Flight Preparation is negative (since all tasks for the flight must always be positive, the candidate loses this flight, or one of his substitute flights / Joker). In this case, the candidate will be asked another question before the next flight. If he cannot answer this question correctly in all points, he will be asked another question - if he cannot answer either of these questions correctly in all points, another flight / joker is negative. In the next flight he is asked another question and this continues until the candidate can either answer the question or has used up all his jokers and, according to the points system, can no longer achieve a positive result, which means that the whole examination is failed.
Exam question
The examiner asks a question about the current flying area they are in or indicates any point on the gliding map:
- Which airspace classes are there; resp.where am I allowed to fly?
- If flying is allowed, what rules apply with regard to:
- maximum flight altitude
- minimum cloud distances
- minimum visibility
