1Under Mozambican civil aviation regulations (MOZ-CAR Part 61), which operating privileges are granted to the holder of a Commercial Pilot Licence - Aeroplane (CPL-A)?
A.To exercise all PPL(A) privileges, act as PIC in operations other than commercial air transport, and, with a valid instrument rating, act as PIC in commercial air transport of aeroplanes certified for single-pilot operation or as co-pilot where a co-pilot is required.
B.To act as Pilot in Command of large multi-crew jet transport aeroplanes on international scheduled passenger routes without holding an ATPL.
C.To certify aircraft airworthiness and sign maintenance releases without holding an aircraft maintenance engineer licence.
D.To operate as an air traffic controller in international tower and radar facilities without an ATCO licence.
Explanation: MOZ-CAR 61.05.9 lets a CPL(A) holder exercise PPL(A) privileges and act as PIC of an aeroplane not engaged in commercial air transport. With an instrument rating, the holder may also act as PIC in commercial air transport on aeroplanes certified for single-pilot operation, and as co-pilot where a co-pilot is required. These privileges extend to night flight. The Part 61 note states that no one may operate commercially in Mozambique without an instrument rating.
2What is the statutory minimum age required by the Instituto de Aviação Civil de Moçambique (IACM) under MOZ-CAR Part 61 for an applicant to be issued a Commercial Pilot Licence?
A.17 years of age
B.18 years of age
C.20 years of age
D.21 years of age
Explanation: Under MOZ-CAR Part 61, an applicant for a Commercial Pilot Licence must be at least 18 years of age on the date of licence issuance.
3Under MOZ-CAR Parts 61 and 67, which medical certificate (atestado médico) must an applicant for, or holder of, a Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) hold, and for how long is it valid for a pilot under 60?
A.Class 1, valid for up to 12 months
B.Class 2, valid for up to 60 months
C.Class 3, valid for up to 48 months
D.Class 1, valid for up to 60 months
Explanation: MOZ-CAR 61.05.1 and 61.05.8 require a valid Class 1 medical certificate issued under Part 67 for the CPL(A). Under MOZ-CAR 67.00.5, a Class 1 certificate is issued for up to 12 months from the date of the medical examination for a holder under 60, and up to 6 months for a holder over 60.
4What is the minimum total flight time required under MOZ-CAR Part 61 for an applicant completing modular (non-integrated) training for a Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane)?
A.150 flight hours, including 70 hours as PIC
B.200 flight hours, including at least 100 hours as PIC
C.250 flight hours, including at least 150 hours as PIC
D.500 flight hours, including at least 200 hours as PIC
Explanation: MOZ-CAR 61.05.2 requires at least 200 hours of flight time, including 100 hours as pilot-in-command; up to 10 of the 200 hours may be instruction in an approved simulator or flight training device. An applicant who completed approved integrated training (MOZ-CAR 61.01.30) needs 150 hours, including 70 hours as PIC.
5Under MOZ-CAR 61.05.2, what cross-country experience as pilot-in-command must a CPL(A) applicant have?
A.20 hours of cross-country flight time as PIC, including a flight of not less than 300 NM with at least two landings at different aerodromes
B.5 hours of cross-country flight time as PIC, including a flight of not less than 150 NM with two full-stop landings at different aerodromes
C.20 hours of cross-country flight time as PIC, including a flight of not less than 500 NM flown entirely under IFR
D.10 hours of cross-country flight time as PIC, including at least one flight across an international boundary
Explanation: MOZ-CAR 61.05.2 requires 20 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot-in-command, including a flight of not less than 300 NM with at least two landings at different aerodromes. The same rule also requires 5 hours of night flight as PIC (with at least five take-offs and five landings) and 10 hours of instrument flight time (up to 5 of them in an approved simulator or training device).
6Under the aeroplane fuel planning criteria in MOZ-CATS-OPS 91.07.12, which set of components makes up the basic fuel calculation for a turbine aeroplane flight that requires a destination alternate?
A.Taxi fuel + trip fuel + contingency fuel + alternate fuel + final reserve fuel (30 minutes at holding speed at 1,500 ft above aerodrome elevation), plus any additional and extra fuel
B.Trip fuel + a fixed 15-minute reserve only
C.Trip fuel + alternate fuel, with no contingency or final reserve fuel
D.Taxi fuel + twice the planned trip fuel
Explanation: MOZ-CATS-OPS 91.07.12 bases an aeroplane fuel policy on taxi fuel, trip fuel, contingency fuel and alternate fuel when an alternate is required. Contingency is, for example, 5% of trip fuel, but never less than 5 minutes' holding at 1,500 ft above the destination. Final reserve fuel is 30 minutes at holding speed at 1,500 ft for turbine aeroplanes, or 45 minutes for piston aeroplanes. Additional fuel and discretionary extra fuel are added where needed.
7Under the flight time and duty limitations in MOZ-CATS-OPS Part 121, what is the basic minimum rest period that must precede each duty period of a flight crew member?
A.At least nine consecutive hours including a local night, or ten consecutive hours
B.At least as long as the preceding duty period, or 12 hours, whichever is greater
C.At least six consecutive hours, which may be taken in an airport terminal
D.A fixed 24 consecutive hours after every duty period
Explanation: MOZ-CATS-OPS 121 (Flight time and duty limitations, rest periods) requires each duty period to be preceded by at least nine consecutive hours of rest including a local night, or ten consecutive hours. The operator's approved scheme must add more rest where the preceding FDP exceeded eleven hours. Longer rests apply after heavy duty: at least 24 consecutive hours after 50 hours of duty, and at least 18 hours including a local night after more than 18 hours of flight time and duty.
8What is the legal authority of the Pilot in Command (PIC) of a commercial air transport aircraft regarding deviation from flight regulations during an in-flight emergency under MOZ-CAR Part 91/121?
A.The PIC has ultimate responsibility for safety and may deviate from any regulation, procedure, or ATC clearance to the extent required to meet the emergency.
B.The PIC must obtain written telegraphic approval from the IACM Director General prior to deviating from any rule in flight.
C.The PIC cannot deviate from any ATC clearance even if terrain collision is imminent.
D.The PIC must yield operational decision-making to the most senior flight attendant.
Explanation: ICAO Annex 2 and MOZ-CAR Part 91/121 firmly establish that the pilot-in-command has final authority over the operation of the aircraft. In an emergency requiring immediate decision and action, the PIC may deviate from any rule, regulation, or clearance to the extent necessary in the interest of safety.
9Under MOZ-CAR 91.07.25 (commencement and continuation of approach), when may a pilot operating IFR in IMC NOT continue an instrument approach beyond the outer marker or equivalent published position?
A.When the controlling reported Runway Visual Range (RVR) or visibility is lower than the published operating minimum for that specific approach.
B.Whenever the ambient air temperature is below 0°C at the destination.
C.If the crosswind component exceeds 5 knots.
D.Whenever the aircraft is arriving more than 15 minutes ahead of schedule.
Explanation: MOZ-CAR 91.07.25 allows a pilot to begin an instrument approach whatever the reported RVR or visibility. The approach must not be continued beyond the outer marker or equivalent published position unless the reported RVR or visibility is at or above the applicable operating minima. Where there is no outer marker or equivalent position, the continue-or-abandon decision must be made before descending below 1,000 ft above the aerodrome on the final approach segment.
10According to the MEL guidance in MOZ-CATS-OPS 121.04.14, what is the status of an airworthiness-related item of equipment that does not appear on the aircraft type's Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL)?
A.It is automatically required to be operative for dispatch
B.It may be deferred at the captain's discretion for up to 10 days
C.It may be listed in the operator's MEL as inoperative if the operator considers the risk acceptable
D.It is optional equipment that never affects dispatch
Explanation: MOZ-CATS-OPS 121.04.14 explains that the MMEL omits obviously required items (such as wings, flaps or powerplants) and items with no airworthiness effect (such as galley or entertainment systems). All airworthiness-related items not included on the MMEL are automatically required to be operative. The operator's MEL, approved by the Authority, must be built within the limits of the MMEL for the type and variant.

Mozambique IACM Commercial Pilot (CPL-A): Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn where Mozambique's rules differ from FAA or EASA material. Examples: 70% dry-runway landing distance for Class A aeroplanes (MOZ-CAR 121.08.9), basic rest of 9 hours including a local night or 10 consecutive hours (MOZ-CATS-OPS 121), and the 45/30-minute piston/turbine final reserve (MOZ-CATS-OPS 91.07.12).
2Practise mass-and-balance shifts, %MAC, PET/PSR, departure and 1-in-60 corrections until you can work them quickly on a flight computer.
3Study tropical meteorology relevant to Mozambique: the ITCZ, tropical cyclones in the Mozambique Channel, thunderstorm hail and jet-stream turbulence.
4Remember the Part 61 note: commercial operation in Mozambique requires an instrument rating, and CPL privileges in commercial air transport depend on holding one.
