CAAB Personnel Licensing Handbook

CAAB names nine ATPL knowledge subjects and requires at least 75% on ATPL knowledge tests. The public handbook does not establish one fixed question count or duration for every subject; time depends on each test's length and complexity. This independent bank provides 141 practice questions across all nine subjects.

Sample CAAB ATPL Theory Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your CAAB ATPL Theory exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 141+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under the Bangladesh Civil Aviation Rules 1984 (CAR 1984), what is the minimum age requirement for the issuance of an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL)?

A.18 years

B.20 years

C.21 years

D.23 years

Explanation: According to the Civil Aviation Rules 1984, the minimum age requirement for the issuance of an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) in Bangladesh is 21 years. Commercial Pilot Licences (CPL) may be issued at age 18.

2What is the minimum total flight time requirement under the Bangladesh Civil Aviation Rules 1984 for an applicant to be eligible for an ATPL(A)?

A.1,000 hours

B.1,200 hours

C.1,500 hours

D.2,000 hours

Explanation: In alignment with ICAO standards, the Bangladesh Civil Aviation Rules 1984 specify a minimum of 1,500 hours of total flight time for the issuance of an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (Aeroplane).

3For an ATPL holder in Bangladesh under the age of 40, what is the standard validity period of the required Class 1 Medical Assessment?

A.6 months

B.12 months

C.24 months

D.60 months

Explanation: CAAB ANO (OPS) A-5 gives a normal 12-month Medical Assessment period for ATPL holders. Age-related reduction to six months is not triggered merely by reaching 40: it applies after age 40 to single-crew commercial air transport carrying passengers, and after age 60 to commercial air transport operations more generally.

4Under CAAB rules, what is the passing mark required for a candidate to pass any individual multiple-choice subject exam in the ATPL theory series?

A.60%

B.70%

C.75%

D.80%

Explanation: In line with international licensing standards and Air Navigation Orders (ANO), the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh requires a minimum passing score of 75% on all multiple-choice theoretical licensing examinations.

5According to Bangladesh AIP ENR 1.4, which airspace class is assigned to airways in Bangladesh?

A.Class B

B.Class C

C.Class F

D.Class G

Explanation: Bangladesh AIP ENR 1.4 assigns Class B to airways. It separately assigns Class C to control zones, terminal control areas, and controlled aerodromes within control zones; Class F to advisory routes above FL150 up to the applicable airway lower limit or upper advisory limit; and Class G to other ATS routes and remaining FIR airspace outside specified controlled or advisory portions.

6If a pilot taxiing at a Bangladeshi aerodrome observes a flashing white light signal directed from the control tower, what action must the pilot take?

A.Stop immediately

B.Taxi clear of the landing area or runway in use

C.Return to the starting point on the aerodrome

D.Return to the ramp or gate

Explanation: According to the ICAO Annex 2/CAR 1984 light signals, a flashing white light directed at an aircraft on the movement area (taxiing) instructs the pilot to return to the starting point on the aerodrome.

7Under the rules of converging traffic in CAR 1984, when two aircraft are converging at approximately the same level, which aircraft has the right of way?

A.The faster aircraft

B.The aircraft that has the other on its left

C.The aircraft that has the other on its right

D.The lower-altitude aircraft regardless of direction

Explanation: Under both CAR 1984 and ICAO Annex 2 rules of the air, when two aircraft are converging at approximately the same level, the aircraft that has the other on its right shall give way. Therefore, the aircraft that has the other on its left has the right of way.

8Under current CAAB ANO 6-1, which list correctly states the pre-flight usable-fuel components for a turbine-engined commercial aeroplane when a destination alternate is required?

A.Taxi, trip, contingency, destination-alternate, final-reserve, and any required additional or discretionary fuel

B.Trip, destination-alternate, and 45-minute final-reserve fuel only

C.Taxi, trip, and a fixed 10% contingency allowance only

D.Trip and 30-minute final reserve only; alternate fuel is optional even when an alternate is required

Explanation: CAAB ANO 6-1 requires the pre-flight usable-fuel calculation to include taxi fuel, trip fuel, contingency fuel, destination-alternate fuel, final-reserve fuel, additional fuel when required, and discretionary fuel if the pilot-in-command chooses to add it. For a turbine-engined aeroplane, final reserve is the fuel for 30 minutes at holding speed 1,500 feet above aerodrome elevation in standard conditions.

9What is the Transition Altitude established for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (VGHS) in Dhaka, Bangladesh?

A.3,000 feet AMSL

B.4,000 feet AMSL

C.5,000 feet AMSL

D.6,000 feet AMSL

Explanation: According to the Bangladesh Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), the Transition Altitude for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (VGHS) in Dhaka is 4,000 feet AMSL. Below this altitude, altimeters are set to the local QNH.

10What transition level is published on current instrument approach charts for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (VGHS)?

A.FL040

B.FL050

C.FL060

D.FL070

Explanation: Current Bangladesh AIP instrument approach charts for VGHS publish a transition altitude of 4,000 feet and a transition level of FL060. The earlier answer's invented QNH bands and FL050 key did not match the published aerodrome procedure.

CAAB ATPL Theory Study Tips from Top Performers

1Use the current Bangladesh AIP and CAAB orders for local airspace, licensing, operations, and procedures; do not rely on memorised historical classifications.

2Practice numerical calculations for critical points (ETP), point of no return (PNR), and wind drift corrections until you can solve them quickly without an electronic flight computer.

3Review METAR, TAF, SIGMET, tropical meteorology, and operational weather decision-making.

4Practise all nine official subjects; the public CAAB documents do not publish percentage weights that justify omitting a subject.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who administers the CAAB ATPL theory exams and how are they structured?

CAAB administers computer-based knowledge tests. Questions are objective multiple choice with one correct response and are drawn from nine subjects: Air Law, Aircraft General Knowledge, Flight Performance and Planning, Human Performance and Limitations, Meteorology, Navigation, Operational Procedures, Principles of Flight, and Radiotelephony.

What is the passing score for CAAB ATPL theory exams?

A minimum of 75% is required on each individual subject paper. Each exam is graded independently.

Are CAAB ATPL exams aligned with international standard syllabi?

The CAAB handbook says the licensing regulations comply with ICAO Annex 1 and that its CPL and ATPL question bank was adopted from EASA material and customised for local requirements. Candidates should still study current Bangladesh rules and AIP material.

How many questions and how much time does each ATPL test have?

The cited public CAAB documents do not publish a current per-subject count. The handbook says time depends on test length and complexity and gives general averages of 1 hour for 50 questions and 2 hours for 100.
