1Under Chapter B of Bolivia's RAB 65, what is the legal authority and scope of an Air Traffic Controller License (Controlador de Tránsito Aéreo - CTA)?

A.It authorizes the holder to provide air traffic control services in the specific operational ratings endorsed on the license (such as Aerodrome Control, Approach Control, or Area Control), in accordance with DGAC regulations and NAABOL operational standards.

B.It authorizes the holder to pilot commercial transport aircraft within Bolivian airspace.

C.It permits the holder to act as an aircraft maintenance engineer on transport category aircraft.

D.It authorizes the holder to manage international airline passenger ticketing.

Explanation: RAB 65 Chapter B establishes that a controller may exercise only the privileges of valid ratings and unit endorsements on the license, while also maintaining the required medical fitness and operational competence.

2What age and medical requirements apply to a Bolivian Air Traffic Controller License in 2026, including the change already stated in current RAB 65 for 2027?

A.At least 18 years in 2026 and a valid Class 3 Aeronautical Medical Certificate; RAB 65 raises the minimum age to 21 from 1 January 2027.

B.At least 21 years in 2026 and a Class 1 Aeronautical Medical Certificate.

C.At least 17 years of age and a Class 2 Aeronautical Medical Certificate.

D.At least 25 years of age with no medical certificate required.

Explanation: The 2026 licensing transaction and current RAB 65 support an 18-year minimum during 2026 and require a valid Class 3 medical certificate. Section 65.205 expressly makes the 21-year minimum effective from 1 January 2027, so applicants should distinguish the current requirement from the scheduled change.

3According to ICAO Annex 11 and Bolivia's current RAB 211, what are the five primary objectives of Air Traffic Services (ATS)?

A.Prevent collisions between aircraft, prevent collisions between aircraft and obstructions on the maneuvering area, expedite and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic, provide advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights, and notify appropriate organizations regarding aircraft in need of search and rescue aid.

B.Collect airport landing fees, refuel commercial aircraft, maintain runway asphalt, sell airline tickets, and issue pilot licenses.

C.Control military air defense radars, pilot drones, conduct air accident investigations, inspect passenger luggage, and provide weather forecasts.

D.Design aircraft engines, enforce airline ticket pricing, manage catering logistics, issue passport visas, and build airport terminals.

Explanation: RAB 211.015 defines the five core ATS objectives: prevent collisions between aircraft; prevent collisions between aircraft and obstructions on the maneuvering area; expedite and maintain an orderly flow; provide useful advice and information; and notify and assist appropriate organizations when aircraft need search-and-rescue aid.

4What are the three fundamental divisions of Air Traffic Services (ATS) established under current RAB 211 and ICAO Annex 11?

A.Air Traffic Control Service (ATC), Flight Information Service (FIS), and Alerting Service (ALRS).

B.Tower Service, Approach Service, and Customs Service.

C.Radar Service, Non-radar Service, and Satellite Service.

D.Domestic Service, International Service, and Military Service.

Explanation: Air Traffic Services comprises three overarching services: 1. Air Traffic Control Service (subdivided into Area Control, Approach Control, and Aerodrome Control), 2. Flight Information Service (providing advice and weather/navaid info), and 3. Alerting Service (notifying search and rescue organizations).

5Which set of ratings can be endorsed on an Air Traffic Controller License in Bolivia under RAB 65?

A.Aerodrome Control, Approach Control Procedural, Approach Control Surveillance, Precision Approach Radar, Area Control Procedural, and Area Control Surveillance.

B.Single-Engine Rating, Multi-Engine Rating, Instrument Rating, and Flight Instructor Rating.

C.Private Controller Rating and Commercial Controller Rating only.

D.Domestic Controller Rating and Foreign Controller Rating.

Explanation: RAB 65.230 lists six ratings: Aerodrome Control, Approach Control Procedural, Approach Control Surveillance, Precision Approach Radar, Area Control Procedural, and Area Control Surveillance. A unit endorsement identifies the particular unit, sector, or position where a rating may be exercised.

6In the Bolivian civil aviation structure, what is the division of institutional responsibilities between the DGAC and NAABOL (formerly AASANA)?

A.The DGAC is the civil aviation regulatory authority responsible for safety oversight, licensing, and certification; NAABOL (Navegación Aérea y Aeropuertos Bolivianos) is the air navigation service provider (ANSP) responsible for operating air traffic control facilities and managing public airports.

B.NAABOL writes aviation laws; DGAC provides air traffic control towers.

C.DGAC is an airline company; NAABOL is the military air force.

D.Both entities perform identical overlapping flight inspection services.

Explanation: In Bolivia, the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) is the national regulatory authority overseeing aviation safety, licensing, regulations (RAB), and compliance. NAABOL is the state enterprise that provides air navigation services (ATS, communications, navaids) and operates public commercial airport infrastructures.

7Under RAB 65.250, what occurs when a controller has not exercised a particular rating for six months or more?

A.The holder may not exercise that rating until the licensing authority has verified psychophysical fitness and practical competence through the required tests.

B.The license is permanently cancelled with no reinstatement permitted.

C.The controller may continue controlling traffic as long as their medical certificate is valid.

D.The controller is automatically transferred to another department.

Explanation: RAB 65.250 states that a rating loses validity when its privileges have not been exercised for six months or more. Before the holder resumes those privileges, the authority must re-establish psychophysical fitness and practical competence through the applicable tests.

8What is the relationship between an Air Traffic Control clearance and the Pilot in Command's ultimate responsibility for safety under ICAO Annex 2 and RAB 91?

A.An ATC clearance is an authorization to proceed under specified conditions; however, the Pilot in Command remains solely responsible for the safe operation of the aircraft and compliance with terrain avoidance rules.

B.An ATC clearance relieves the pilot of all collision avoidance responsibility.

C.ATC clearances are voluntary recommendations that pilots may ignore without notification.

D.Controllers are legally liable for aircraft weight and balance configurations.

Explanation: ICAO Annex 2 and RAB 91 specify that an ATC clearance does not constitute authority to violate regulations or compromise flight safety. The PIC remains the final authority on aircraft safety and terrain clearance (except when being vectored by radar at assigned MVAs).

9According to the current Bolivian PANS-ATM manual, what is an ATS Estimate (EST) message and when should it reach the receiving unit?

A.A coordination message with flight and boundary-estimate data that should reach the receiving unit at least 20 minutes before the aircraft is estimated over the transfer point, unless a shorter period is prescribed.

B.A post-flight summary sent to airline accounting.

C.A weather forecast transmitted to the local news.

D.A calculation of remaining passenger baggage capacity.

Explanation: The current PANS-ATM procedure requires an EST message to be sent early enough to be received at least 20 minutes before the estimated transfer-point time, unless the appropriate ATS authorities prescribe a shorter interval. It carries the flight-identification and estimate information needed for coordination.

10Which statement correctly describes an ATC unit's handling of a Special VFR (SVFR) request in a Bolivian control zone?

A.It is handled only at the aircraft's request and with approach-control approval, subject to traffic conditions and at least 1,500 m ground visibility; prescribed separation is provided from IFR flights and between SVFR flights when required by the authority.

B.Granted automatically by the controller without pilot request whenever visibility drops to zero.

C.Allowed only for supersonic commercial jets.

D.Requires no separation against other aircraft in the CTR.

Explanation: RAB 91.160 and the PANS-ATM procedure make SVFR a pilot-requested operation that requires approach-control approval, adequate traffic conditions, and ground visibility of at least 1,500 m. ATC separates SVFR from IFR traffic and applies SVFR-to-SVFR separation when the competent authority has prescribed it; the rule does not create a universal 500-foot ceiling test.
