1Under RAC 61.070(b), what is the minimum score a PCA applicant must obtain to pass the UAEAC theoretical knowledge examination?

A.75 percent

B.70 percent

C.80 percent

D.85 percent

Explanation: RAC 61.070(b) sets the ordinary theoretical-examination pass mark at 75 percent. The 85 percent figure applies only to instructor ratings and examiner, inspector, or check-pilot authorisations, not to the PCA licence itself.

2What is the minimum age for issue of a Colombian commercial pilot licence under RAC 61.265(a)?

A.16 years

B.17 years

C.18 years

D.21 years

Explanation: RAC 61.265(a) requires a commercial-pilot applicant to be at least 18 years of age. Twenty-one years is the RAC 61 minimum for a PTL (airline transport) applicant, not for a PCA.

3Besides being at least 18 years old, which combination of documents must a PCA airplane applicant hold under RAC 61.265?

A.A valid UAEAC PPA (or validated PPA), a Class 1 medical under RAC 67, and an approved CIAC commercial course

B.A student-pilot authorisation, a Class 2 medical, and any unapproved flight-school course

C.A PTL licence, a Class 1 medical, and an RAC 142 type-rating course only

D.A valid PPA, a Class 2 medical, and a self-study log without CIAC training

Explanation: RAC 61.265 requires a valid or UAEAC-validated Private Pilot Airplane licence, a current Class 1 medical issued under RAC 67, and successful completion of an approved commercial-pilot course at a CIAC. Class 2 medicals and unapproved courses do not meet PCA eligibility.

4Which language requirements apply to a PCA applicant under RAC 61.265 and RAC 61.155?

A.Ability to speak, read, write, and understand Spanish, plus demonstrated English proficiency assessed under RAC 61.155 and Appendix 2

B.English only; Spanish is optional because ELITE sittings are bilingual

C.Portuguese and English, matching ICAO South American regional practice

D.Spanish only; English proficiency is reserved exclusively for PTL applicants

Explanation: RAC 61.265(b) requires Spanish (Castilian) literacy and speech. RAC 61.265(c) additionally requires English speaking and comprehension, evaluated under RAC 61.155 and Appendix 2. RAC 61.155 notes that Spanish is the official aeronautical language in Colombia, while English is required for international radiotelephony and is annotated on the licence.

5For an airplane PCA obtained through an approved CIAC programme, what total flight-time minimum does RAC 61.280(a) specify?

A.250 airplane hours, matching FAA Part 61 commercial minima

B.200 airplane hours unless an integrated EASA ATPL course is completed

C.150 airplane hours as pilot in an approved UAEAC instruction programme

D.100 airplane hours provided 70 hours are PIC

Explanation: RAC 61.280(a) requires at least 150 airplane hours as pilot in a UAEAC-approved instruction centre programme. Colombia does not use the FAA Part 61 250-hour commercial default for this approved-course route, and EASA integrated-ATPL hour schemes are not the PCA standard.

6Within the 150-hour approved airplane programme, how many hours must be pilot-in-command time under RAC 61.280(a)?

A.70 hours PIC

B.50 hours PIC

C.100 hours PIC

D.150 hours PIC

Explanation: RAC 61.280(a) requires at least 70 hours as pilot-in-command inside the 150-hour approved airplane total. One hundred PIC hours is a figure used in some other States’ non-approved commercial routes, not in Colombia’s approved CIAC aeroplane programme.

7RAC 61.280(a) requires 20 hours of PIC cross-country in the airplane, including one PIC cross-country of at least which distance with full-stop landings at two different aerodromes?

A.100 NM / 180 km with a landing at one other aerodrome

B.150 NM / 270 km with a landing at three aerodromes

C.300 NM / 540 km with full-stop landings at two different aerodromes

D.400 NM / 740 km with a landing only at the destination

Explanation: The qualifying PIC cross-country is at least 540 km (300 NM), during which the applicant must make full-stop landings at two different aerodromes. Touch-and-goes at a single field, or a shorter private-pilot-style 100 NM trip, do not meet RAC 61.280(a).

8How much instrument instruction is required in the RAC 61.280(a) airplane commercial programme, and how much of it may be in an FSTD?

A.10 hours of instrument instruction, of which a maximum of 5 hours may be in a flight simulation training device

B.40 hours of instrument instruction, all of which must be in the airplane

C.15 hours of instrument instruction, all of which may be in an FSTD

D.5 hours of instrument instruction with no FSTD credit allowed

Explanation: RAC 61.280(a) requires 10 hours of instrument instruction, and not more than 5 of those hours may be FSTD time. Forty hours is an instrument-rating total used in other licensing systems, not this PCA experience line.

9Before a Colombian airplane PCA holder may exercise night privileges, RAC 61.280(a) requires which night experience?

A.Three night takeoffs in a simulator, with no landings required

B.Ten night hours as copilot on any turbine airplane

C.Five night hours including five takeoffs and five landings as PIC

D.Night experience is automatic once the PCA is issued

Explanation: Night privileges require five hours of night flight including five takeoffs and five landings as pilot-in-command. RAC 61.290(b) likewise requires dual night instruction covering takeoff, landing, and navigation before night commercial privileges are exercised.

10Toward the 150-hour airplane total in an approved programme, what is the maximum FSTD credit RAC 61.280(a) allows?

A.10 hours

B.5 hours

C.20 hours

D.No FSTD time may be credited toward the total

Explanation: Instruction in a flight simulation training device may be credited toward the total flight time, but that credit is limited to 10 hours. The separate 5-hour cap applies only to the 10 hours of instrument instruction, not to the overall total.

Aerocivil Colombia Commercial Pilot Airplane (PCA) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Use 150 hours / 70 PIC / 300 NM — not FAA Part 61's 250-hour commercial minimum.

2Include genuine mass-and-balance and takeoff-distance calculations; commercial operations amplify CG and field-length errors.

3Review icing, frontal weather, and commercial VFR go/no-go judgment from RAC 61.270(e).

4Treat ELITE as a Spanish sitting; this bank only checks knowledge.
