AACM Test 3

The use of breathing oxygen by flight crew members is required: Whenever the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. Only during emergency descent situations. Whenever they are performing duties essential to safe operation and circumstances prevail for which oxygen supply is required in Scale K of the Fifth Schedule. Only when the cabin altitude exceeds 14,000 feet.

If shoulder straps interfere with the performance of a flight crew member's duties during take-off and landing: The shoulder straps may be unfastened but the seat belt must remain fastened. The entire safety harness may be removed. The seat belt may be unfastened but the shoulder straps must remain fastened. The safety harness must be replaced with a different type before the flight.

A flight crew member may leave their station during the en-route phase for physiological needs: Only if another crew member takes their place. Without restriction, as this is explicitly permitted. Only with permission from the pilot-in-command. Only if the aircraft is on autopilot.

For an aircraft that is NOT a seaplane, a life-jacket demonstration must be given to passengers before take-off when the flight is intended to reach a point more than: 15 minutes flying time from nearest land. 45 minutes flying time from nearest land. 30 minutes flying time from nearest land. 60 minutes flying time from nearest land.

The flying time calculation for determining whether a life-jacket demonstration is required must be based on: The aircraft's normal cruising speed with all engines operating. The speed selected by the pilot-in-command based on fuel efficiency. The speed specified in the Certificate of Airworthiness as the speed for compliance with regulations governing flights over water. The maximum speed of the aircraft at sea level.

For an aircraft that is NOT a seaplane and is required to carry cabin crew, a life-jacket demonstration must be given before take-off when: The flight is intended to proceed beyond gliding distance from land, OR when it is reasonably possible the aircraft would be forced to land onto water during take-off or landing at the intended destination or any likely alternate. The flight exceeds 2 hours in duration. The flight is conducted at night. The aircraft is carrying more than 50 passengers.

The pilot-in-command must ensure cabin crew are properly seated with seat belts or safety harnesses fastened: Only during take-off and landing. Before the aircraft takes off, before it lands, and whenever required for safety reasons. Only during turbulent conditions. Only when passengers are on board.

The requirement to demonstrate the method of use of oxygen to all passengers applies: Before the aircraft reaches flight level 100, unless a pressure greater than 700 millibars is maintained in all compartments throughout the flight. Before the aircraft reaches flight level 120, regardless of cabin pressure. Only when the aircraft is flying above flight level 130. Only when the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000 feet.

A pressure greater than 700 millibars maintained in all passenger and crew compartments throughout the flight exempts the operator from the requirement to: Carry any oxygen equipment on board. Demonstrate the method of use of oxygen to passengers. Provide oxygen to flight crew members. Conduct cabin crew training on oxygen use.

When flying above flight level 130, the pilot-in-command must: Require all passengers to use oxygen continuously. Recommend that all passengers and cabin crew use oxygen. Ensure only flight crew members use oxygen. Descend to a lower flight level immediately.

An aircraft shall not carry munitions of war unless: The munitions are declared to the pilot-in-command at the time of boarding. The munitions are permitted for temporary import, carried by authorized consulate members as defence weapons, or carried by law enforcement officers for safety purposes, AND carried with written CAA permission, AND the pilot-in-command is informed in writing before the flight. The munitions are carried in the cargo hold only. The flight is an international flight and the munitions are declared to customs.

Sporting weapons or munitions of war shall NOT be carried in any compartment to which passengers have access unless: The passengers have given their consent. They are carried by a law enforcement officer for safety purposes. The flight is a military operation. They are unloaded and in a locked case.

A person may carry sporting weapons or munitions on board an aircraft if: They are carried as part of hold baggage or consigned as cargo, carried in a part inaccessible to passengers, and firearms are unloaded. The pilot-in-command gives verbal approval. The passenger has a valid firearms licence from any country. The weapons are declared after the flight commences.

Munitions of war carried on board an aircraft registered outside Macao: Are prohibited entirely. May be carried if lawful under the State of Registry's law for safety purposes, provided the operator notifies CAA in advance. Require no notification to CAA. Must comply with Macao law regardless of State of Registry.

Dangerous goods shall not be loaded as cargo on an aircraft unless: The consignor has provided verbal notification to the pilot-in-command. The consignor has furnished the operator with written particulars of the nature of the goods and the danger they give rise to, AND the goods are properly packed, marked and labelled. The goods are approved by the International Air Transport Association. The goods are accompanied by a customs declaration form.

The packing container for dangerous goods must be: Sealed with a customs security seal. Properly and clearly marked and labelled to indicate the danger to persons loading the goods. Made of metal or other fireproof material. Clearly marked with the consignor's name and address.

The operator of an aircraft must ensure that passengers are warned as to: The total weight of dangerous goods on board. The type of goods they are prohibited from transporting as checked baggage or carry-on articles. The location of dangerous goods on the aircraft. The emergency procedures for dangerous goods incidents.

The operator must inform the pilot-in-command of dangerous goods on board: At the destination airport. At the time of boarding. As soon as practicable and before any flight begins, in writing. Only if the dangerous goods exceed a certain quantity.

The operator must notify the Civil Aviation Authority of any dangerous goods occurrence: Within 24 hours. Within 48 hours. As soon as practicable. Within 7 days.

Dangerous goods may be carried in an aircraft with the consent of the operator when: The operator is approved for dangerous goods carriage. It is for the purpose of ensuring proper navigation or safety of the aircraft or well-being of any person on board. The operator has submitted a dangerous goods transport document. The goods are carried in the cargo hold only.
