1Under ICAO rules applicable to Brunei DCA flight planning, what is the maximum number of characters permitted in Item 7 (Aircraft Identification) of the ICAO Model Flight Plan Form 18?
A.7 characters
B.8 characters
C.10 characters
D.12 characters
Explanation: Item 7 of the ICAO flight plan form permits a maximum of 7 alphanumeric characters without hyphens or spaces. Examples include national registration marks such as V8-ABC (entered as V8ABC) or ICAO airline designators followed by the flight number.
2When completing Item 8 (Flight Rules) of an ICAO Flight Plan, which letter indicates that a flight will operate initially under IFR and subsequently change to VFR?
A.Letter Y
B.Letter Z
C.Letter I
D.Letter V
Explanation: Letter Y signifies that the flight will start under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and plan an in-flight change to Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Conversely, letter Z indicates a flight starting under VFR and changing to IFR.
3In Item 8 of an ICAO Flight Plan, which single-letter designator is used to designate non-scheduled commercial air transport operations?
A.N
B.S
C.G
D.M
Explanation: Letter N represents non-scheduled commercial air transport operations (such as air charter flights). Letter S denotes scheduled air services, G denotes General Aviation, and M denotes military flights.
4According to ICAO wake turbulence criteria used in Item 9 of an ICAO Flight Plan, an aircraft with a Maximum Certificated Take-off Mass (MCTOM) of 120,000 kg falls into which wake turbulence category?
A.Medium (M)
B.Heavy (H)
C.Light (L)
D.Super (J)
Explanation: The Medium (M) wake turbulence category applies to aircraft with a Maximum Certificated Take-off Mass between 7,000 kg and 136,000 kg. An aircraft of 120,000 kg falls squarely within this bracket.
5In Item 10a (Radio Communication, Navigation and Approach Aid Equipment) of an ICAO Flight Plan, what equipment suite is designated by the letter S?
A.Standard equipment: VHF RTF, VOR, and ILS
B.Standard equipment: VHF RTF, ADF, and GNSS
C.Surveillance radar and Mode C transponder
D.SATCOM and HF radiotelephony
Explanation: The letter S is the standard equipment indicator representing VHF radiotelephony, VOR navigation capability, and ILS approach capability.
6If an aircraft is approved for Performance-Based Navigation (PBN), which letter must be inserted into Item 10a of the ICAO Flight Plan?
A.Letter R
B.Letter P
C.Letter N
D.Letter G
Explanation: Letter R in Item 10a indicates PBN approval. Inserting R requires the pilot to specify detailed PBN specifications (such as PBN/A1B1) in Item 18.
7Which letter code in Item 10b of an ICAO Flight Plan indicates a Mode S transponder equipped with both aircraft identification and pressure-altitude transmission capability?
A.Letter S
B.Letter C
C.Letter A
D.Letter E
Explanation: Letter S indicates a Mode S transponder transmitting both pressure-altitude and aircraft identification. Code C denotes Mode C with pressure-altitude only.
8When departing from an unlisted airfield that lacks an assigned ICAO four-letter location indicator, what code must be entered in Item 13 (Departure Aerodrome)?
A.ZZZZ
B.AFIL
C.XXXX
D.NONE
Explanation: ZZZZ is entered in Item 13 when no ICAO 4-letter location indicator exists for the departure aerodrome. The name and coordinates of the airfield must then be specified after DEP/ in Item 18.
9How should a planned cruising true airspeed of 245 knots be formatted in Item 15 (Speed) of an ICAO Flight Plan?
A.N0245
B.K0245
C.M0245
D.TAS245
Explanation: True airspeed in knots is expressed using the letter N followed by a 4-digit number. Thus 245 knots is formatted as N0245.
10Which entry in Item 15 (Level) correctly represents a requested cruising altitude of 4,500 feet?
A.A045
B.F045
C.S0450
D.ALT45
Explanation: Altitudes in hundreds of feet are preceded by the letter A followed by 3 digits. An altitude of 4,500 feet is written as A045.

About the Brunei DCA CPL(A) Flight Planning Exam

The Brunei DCA CPL(A) Flight Planning and Monitoring examination evaluates candidate commercial pilots on operational flight planning, fuel policy calculations, PET/PSR navigation calculations, ICAO flight plan submission, and in-flight navigation log monitoring. OpenExamPrep provides an English-language multiple-choice study bank at this practice URL; it is a study adaptation for BAR 1 Part-FCL theoretical knowledge, not an official DCA paper, translation, or format simulation. A separate CPL(A) skill test and Class 1 medical are also required for licence issue.

Assessment

Written or computer-based multiple-choice theoretical knowledge examination in subject 033 — Flight Planning and Monitoring for the Brunei DCA CPL(A) under BAR 1 Part-FCL FCL.310. Official paper: 33 questions in 90 minutes; pass mark 75% with no penalty marking (FCL.025). Official item count and duration follow AMC1 ARA.FCL.300(b) CPL(A) examination tables. Brunei BAR 1 Part-FCL AMC directs professional theoretical examination length and question distribution to ARA.FCL.300(b) under Brunei's EASA-based aircrew framework. Confirm any DCA-published national variants with Personnel Licensing before booking.
