About the MCAA CPL Theory Exam Exam
The Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia (ИНЕГ / MCAA) Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) written examinations test the knowledge required for a Mongolian CPL. They are required by CAR 61.203(a)(6) (ИНД-61: Нисгэгчийн үнэмлэх, зэрэглэл), reissued by Minister of Road and Transport Order А/255 of 3 October 2025, and detailed in Advisory Circular AC61-5 Rev 2 Appendix III. The aeroplane subjects are air law, flight navigation general, meteorology, principles of flight and aircraft performance, general aircraft technical knowledge and human factors. Applicants must be at least 18, hold a current PPL and a Class 1 medical certificate, log at least 200 hours (150 hours after a full approved course), score at least 70% in each subject and pass a flight test. This practice bank offers independent English-language multiple-choice questions on those syllabus areas, with Mongolian air law drawn from the current CAR texts; it is a study adaptation, not an official paper or format simulation.

Assessment
The CPL written examination credit is required by CAR 61.203(a)(6) (ИНД-61) and detailed in AC61-5 Rev 2 Appendix III. Aeroplane candidates pass six subjects: CPL Air Law (Subject 16), Flight Navigation General (Subject 18), CPL Meteorology (Subject 20), Principles of Flight and Aircraft Performance (Subject 22 aeroplane or 24 helicopter), General Aircraft Technical Knowledge (Subject 26 aeroplane or 28 helicopter) and Human Factors (Subject 34). The pass mark is 70% per paper (CAR 61.17(b)). All subjects must be passed within 3 years of the first examination, and the credit is then valid for 3 years from the last pass (CAR 61.17(c)-(d); AC61-1 Rev 4 §3.3). A candidate who fails a subject 3 times within 90 days must wait 90 days before re-sitting it (CAR 61.17(e)). Licence prerequisites include minimum age 18, a current PPL and a Class 1 medical certificate (CAR 61.203(a)(1)-(3)). A CPL(A) needs at least 200 hours of flight experience, or 150 hours after a full course of approved training (CAR 61.203(a)(4); AC61-5 Appendix I). ICAO Level 4 English is required for international radiotelephony (CAR 61.13(a)(4)). A separate CPL flight test is required, and a passed flight test is valid for 3 months (CAR 61.21(b)). MCAA's 2025 performance report states that the Aspeq-run online examinations stopped in June 2024; AC61-1 Rev 4 (April 2026) now refers only to an authorised examination organisation, and MCAA has not published its current pilot-examination booking arrangements, fee, item counts or time limits. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official examination paper or format simulation.

MCAA CPL Theory Exam: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Who administers Commercial Pilot Licence examinations in Mongolia?
The Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia (ИНЕГ / MCAA) administers commercial pilot licensing and theoretical knowledge examinations under CAR Part 61.
What is the passing score and validity for MCAA CPL theoretical exams?
Under CAR 61.17(b), the passing score is 70% in each subject paper. All required subjects must be passed within a 3-year period and credits remain valid for 3 years towards licence issue (CAR 61.17(c)-(d); AC61-1 Rev 4 §3.3).
What are the flight experience prerequisites for a Mongolian CPL(A)?
Under CAR 61.203(a)(4)(i), a CPL(A) applicant needs at least 200 hours of flight experience, or 150 hours after completing a full course of approved training. AC61-5 Appendix I adds specific minimums, including 100 hours as pilot-in-command, 30 hours of cross-country navigation, 10 hours of night flying and 10 hours of instrument time, plus basic mountain flying training.
Can air law examination credits be transferred from foreign licences?
No. Foreign licence holders seeking a validation permit (CAR 61.9) or conversion (CAR 61.10) must pass the Director-approved Mongolian air law examination and a flight test. Under AC61-5 §1.5, an experienced foreign CPL holder may be credited with the other written subjects, but never with air law.
What English language proficiency is required for a Mongolian CPL?
CAR 61.13(a)(4) requires pilots who use radiotelephony on international flights to meet at least ICAO Level 4. AC61-1 Rev 4 §2.1 treats Level 4 as the means of compliance for CPL and ATPL applicants for international air transport, and a Level 4 endorsement is current for 3 years (§2.2.3).
What happens after three consecutive examination failures in a subject?
Under CAR 61.17(e), if a candidate fails a subject examination three times within 90 days, they must wait 90 days from the date of the third failure before they are permitted to sit that subject again.
