1Under RAD 61.113, what is the primary operational limitation regarding financial compensation for a licensed Private Pilot (Piloto Privado - Avión)?

A.A private pilot may not act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying passengers or cargo for compensation or hire, nor act as pilot-in-command for compensation or hire.

B.A private pilot may act for compensation whenever the flight is incidental to the pilot's employment, even when passengers or property are carried for hire

C.A private pilot may conduct any compensated operation in day VMC if the aircraft is not turbine-powered

D.A private pilot may carry persons for hire when the aircraft has fewer than nine passenger seats

Explanation: RAD 61.113 strictly prohibits a private pilot from acting as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying persons or property for compensation or hire, and from acting for compensation or hire in any flight operation (except for sharing direct operating expenses pro-rata or certain non-profit charitable flights).

2Under what condition may a private pilot share operating expenses with passengers on a flight in the Dominican Republic under RAD 61.113?

A.The pilot may not pay less than the pro-rata (equal) share of the operating expenses (fuel, oil, airport fees, and rental charges) directly incurred for that specific flight.

B.Passengers may pay all direct flight costs if the pilot receives no separate cash wage

C.The pilot may add a maintenance allowance to the direct costs as long as it is disclosed before departure

D.The pilot may avoid the pro-rata rule by accepting non-cash reimbursement instead of money

Explanation: Under RAD 61.113(c), a private pilot may share the operating expenses of a flight with passengers, provided the pilot pays at least the pro-rata share of direct operating costs (fuel, oil, airport parking/landing fees, and aircraft rental).

3What are the recency-of-experience requirements under RAD 61.57 for a private pilot to act as pilot-in-command of an airplane carrying passengers during daytime hours?

A.The pilot must have made at least three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop or touch-and-go within the preceding 90 days in an aircraft of the same category, class, and type (if a type rating is required).

B.The pilot must have flown at least 50 hours in the preceding 12 months.

C.The pilot must have passed an IDAC practical flight test within the preceding 30 days.

D.The pilot must have logged at least one flight of 200 nautical miles in the preceding 6 months.

Explanation: Under RAD 61.57(a), to carry passengers during the day, the pilot-in-command must have executed at least 3 takeoffs and 3 landings within the preceding 90 days in the same category, class, and type (if applicable) of aircraft.

4To carry passengers at night (defined as the period between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight), what specific recency must a private pilot have logged in the preceding 90 days under RAD 61.57?

A.At least three takeoffs and three landings to a FULL STOP during the period from 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise in the same category, class, and type.

B.At least three touch-and-go landings at any time between sunset and sunrise.

C.At least 10 hours of instrument flight time under simulated hood conditions.

D.At least one complete night cross-country flight of at least 150 nautical miles.

Explanation: RAD 61.57(b) mandates that for night passenger carrying, the 3 required takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days must be executed to a FULL STOP during the period from 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise. Touch-and-go landings do not fulfill night currency.

5Which set lists the aircraft certificates expressly required on board by RAD 91.203 for a typical Dominican civil-aircraft operation?

A.Current airworthiness and registration certificates, plus the applicable noise-homologation certificate and aircraft radio-station licence

B.Registration certificate, pilot logbook, maintenance work order, and airport parking receipt

C.Airworthiness certificate, passenger manifest, customs declaration, and aircraft bill of sale

D.Registration certificate, journey log, weather briefing, and flight-school rental agreement

Explanation: RAD 91.203 requires the applicable current airworthiness and registration certificates, a noise-homologation certificate when applicable, and the radio-station licence for the installed radiocommunication equipment. Other provisions may require further crew or operational documents for a particular flight, so the familiar U.S. 'ARROW' mnemonic is not a substitute for the Dominican rule.

6Under RAD 91.155, what basic VMC minima apply to an airplane in Class G airspace at or below 3,000 feet AMSL, or 1,000 feet above terrain, whichever is higher?

A.5 km flight visibility, clear of clouds, and with the surface in sight

B.8 km flight visibility with 1,500 m horizontal and 1,000 ft vertical cloud clearance

C.5 km flight visibility with 1,500 m horizontal and 1,000 ft vertical cloud clearance

D.1.5 km flight visibility, clear of clouds, with no further authorization or speed limitation

Explanation: The RAD 91.155 table gives 5 km flight visibility, clear of clouds, and the surface in sight for Class G in this lowest altitude band. The higher bands use the 1,500 m horizontal and 300 m (1,000 ft) vertical cloud distances, and the rule describes limited exceptions only when specifically prescribed.

7When two airplanes are approaching each other head-on, or approximately so, at the same altitude, what action must each pilot take according to RAD 91.113?

A.Each airplane shall alter its heading to the right.

B.Each airplane shall alter its heading to the left.

C.The larger commercial airplane must climb while the smaller airplane descends.

D.The airplane that first spots the other must maintain heading and speed.

Explanation: RAD 91.113(e) and ICAO Annex 2 rules of the air dictate that when two aircraft are approaching head-on, or approximately so, each aircraft shall alter its heading to the right to guarantee immediate divergent separation.

8Regarding right-of-way rules between different categories of aircraft, which of the following lists aircraft in order of priority from HIGHEST right-of-way to LOWEST?

A.Balloon, Glider, Airship, Airplane (power-driven heavier-than-air)

B.Airplane, Airship, Glider, Balloon

C.Airship, Airplane, Balloon, Glider

D.Rotorcraft, Airplane, Airship, Balloon

Explanation: Aircraft with the least maneuverability have the highest right-of-way. Under RAD 91.113(d): (1) Balloons have priority over all other aircraft; (2) Gliders have priority over airships, airplanes, and rotorcraft; (3) Airships have priority over airplanes and rotorcraft; and (4) Power-driven airplanes/rotorcraft give way to all unpowered aircraft. (Aircraft towing or refueling other aircraft also have right-of-way over engine-driven aircraft).

9When two airplanes are on final approach to land at an airport, which airplane has the right-of-way according to RAD 91.113?

A.The airplane at the lower altitude has the right-of-way, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is on final approach to land, or to overtake that airplane.

B.The faster multi-engine twin has the right-of-way over single-engine trainers.

C.The airplane that first entered the downwind leg has absolute priority over all other traffic.

D.The airplane at the higher altitude has priority because it has better glide potential.

Explanation: RAD 91.113(g) establishes that aircraft on final approach or landing have right-of-way over aircraft on the ground or in flight. When two aircraft are approaching to land, the one at the lower altitude has right-of-way, but may not use this to cut in front or overtake.

10Under RAD 91.151, what is the mandatory minimum fuel reserve required for a VFR flight in an airplane during DAYTIME hours in the Dominican Republic?

A.Enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising fuel consumption, to fly thereafter for at least 30 minutes.

B.Enough fuel to fly to the destination plus at least 45 minutes of reserve.

C.Enough fuel for exactly 15 minutes of reserve.

D.There is no reserve requirement as long as fuel is visible in the tanks.

Explanation: RAD 91.151(a) requires daytime VFR flights to carry sufficient fuel to reach the destination plus at least 30 minutes of reserve at normal cruise consumption. For night VFR, the required reserve increases to 45 minutes.
