以下に挙げるサンプルは、オーストラリア航空局により監修された実際の問題の中からの抜粋問題です。筆者も実際の自家用操縦士試験では、これらの問題の何問かが出題されていたことを記憶しています。これらの問題は実際に試験に出題されていることもあり、問題自体や回答をマル覚えして試験に臨まれる輩も何人かはいました。個人的にはこのような勉強方法は余りお勧め出来ません。自家用操縦士の試験はこれから航空界でのキャリアを目指される方、又は自家用機を購入されてレクリエーションで飛ばれる方にとって基礎の基礎となる知識です。じっくりと問題を読み、色々な方向から回答を模索してかれることをお勧めします。しっかりとした基礎知識を備えておけば、これから上級資格を狙うにも必ず役に立つことと思います。
自家用操縦士の学科試験は、3時間半だったと記憶しています。長丁場の様にも思われますが、問題数が多いために終わってみればアッという間の出来事の様でした。
それでは、満点目指して頑張って下さい! Good
Luck !
CASA Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane)
Sample Exam Questions
In accordance with an undertaking given to
the aviation industry, CASA has published
a sample of the actual questions used for
the Private Pilot (Aeroplane) Licence examination.
This is the first step in a new system of
presenting examinations in Australia, utilising
published sample questions and the development
of a new system of delivery. These questions
may or may not appear in your examination,
however questions that do appear will examine
the same subject matter in the same style
as those attached.
Each question begins with the relevant syllabus reference to which that question relates, followed by the text of the question. The syllabus reference is made up of a number of digits and sometimes letters. The first number refers to the 'block' from the Day VFR Syllabus (eg 1.3.3.1). The remaining numbers represent the syllabus item.
