AACM Test 1

A Macao registered aircraft flying for the purpose of commercial air transport having a maximum certificated take-off mass of more than 5,700 kg shall carry: At least one pilot. Not less than two pilots as members of the flight crew. At least three pilots. One pilot and one flight engineer.

The requirement to carry not less than two pilots on a Macao registered commercial air transport aircraft applies when the maximum certificated take-off mass exceeds: 2,300 kg. 7,500 kg. 5,700 kg. 12,500 kg.

Cabin crew requirements apply to any flight for the purpose of commercial air transport by a Macao registered aircraft on which: 10 or more passengers are carried. 15 or more passengers are carried. 20 or more passengers are carried. Any passengers are carried.

The minimum number of cabin crew required on a flight to which the cabin crew requirements apply is: One cabin crew for every 30 passenger seats. One cabin crew for every 40 passenger seats. One cabin crew for every 60 passenger seats. One cabin crew for every 50 passenger seats.

The number of cabin crew calculated in accordance with the 1:50 ratio: Must always be carried. Need not be carried where CAA has granted written authorization for a lesser number. May be reduced at the operator's discretion. May be reduced at the pilot-in-command's discretion.

Cabin crew members on a commercial air transport flight: May also act as flight crew members. Shall not act as members of the flight crew. May act as flight crew in emergencies. May act as flight crew if qualified.

A person shall not act as a flight crew member of a Macao registered aircraft unless: They have completed 500 hours of flight time. They hold a license granted or rendered valid by the Civil Aviation Authority. They are a Macao resident. They have passed a medical examination within the last 6 months.

A person may act as a flight radiotelephony operator in Macao without holding a license if: They are a licensed pilot. They are being trained as a flight crew member and the transmitter is pre-set to assigned frequencies. They have a valid radio operator certificate. They are an air traffic controller.

A person may act as pilot of a Macao registered aircraft for training or tests without holding an appropriate licence provided that: Only the flight crew and authorized persons are carried on board. Passengers may be carried if they consent. The flight is conducted during daylight hours. The aircraft is below 5,700 kg.

A take-off alternate aerodrome must be selected when: The flight is over water. The flight duration exceeds 2 hours. The aircraft has less than 3 engines. Meteorological conditions at departure are below landing minima OR it would not be possible to return to departure aerodrome.

For a twin-engine airplane, the take-off alternate must be located within: 30 minutes flight time at normal cruise speed. Two hours flight time at all-engine cruising speed. One hour flight time at one-engine-inoperative cruising speed. 500 nautical miles.

For an aeroplane with three or more engines, the take-off alternate must be located within: One hour flight time at one-engine-inoperative cruising speed. Two hours flight time at an all-engine operating cruising speed. Three hours flight time at normal cruise speed. 1,000 nautical miles.

The flight time calculation for take-off alternate selection must be calculated using: ISA and still-air conditions using actual take-off mass. Actual weather conditions. Maximum take-off mass. Average cruise speed.

For an aerodrome to be selected as a take-off alternate, the available information must indicate that at the estimated time of use: The conditions will be at or above VMC minima. The conditions will be at or above the operator's established aerodrome operating minima. The runway will be dry. The visibility will be at least 5 km.

A destination alternate aerodrome is required for a flight conducted in accordance with IFR, unless: The flight duration is less than 2 hours. The aircraft has more than 2 engines. The flight is within 500 nautical miles of departure. Reasonable certainty exists for VMC approach AND separate usable runways with instrument approach exist.

For a flight to an isolated aerodrome, a destination alternate is not required provided that: The flight duration is less than 1 hour. A point of no return is determined. The aircraft is twin-engine. The weather is VMC.

A flight to an isolated aerodrome shall not be continued past the point of no return unless: A current assessment indicates a safe landing can be made at the estimated time of use. The pilot-in-command has more than 500 hours experience. The aircraft has sufficient fuel for diversion. The weather forecast is favorable.

Separate runways at an aerodrome means: Runways at different airports. Runways on different islands. Runways with separate approach procedures. Two or more runways configured such that if one runway is closed, operations to the other runway(s) can be conducted.

destination alternate is not required when reasonable certainty exists that: The flight is during daytime. The pilot is instrument rated. The approach and landing may be made under VMC AND separate runways are usable with instrument approach. The weather will be clear.

Two destination alternate aerodromes must be selected when: The destination aerodrome has only one usable runway. The aircraft is a turbojet with more than 100 passenger seats. The flight duration exceeds 4 hours. Meteorological conditions at the estimated time of use will be below the operator's established aerodrome operating minima OR meteorological information is not available.
