How many questions are in the exam and how long is it?

CASA PNG publishes the syllabus in AC61-5 Appendix III but does not publish the item count or the time allowed for the PPL Air Law examination. Those details are shown in the Aspeq booking system when you book the e-Exam.

Exam fees follow the Aspeq fee schedule and are quoted in New Zealand dollars. CASA PNG also charges a sitting fee of K110 (GST incl.), payable by EFTPOS or direct deposit before results are released.
