While I have tried to ensure the information in this quiz is accurate, it is your own responsibility to check it against your airline / manufacturer manuals. With that said, if you spot any obvious errors then please let me know the question number and I'll aim to put it right!

Q153 You suffer a communications failure during a published instrument departure, you shall squawk 7600 and:

Track towards the fix applicable for the approach in use and enter the hold.

If visual then the visual circuit to land.

Continue as per the published procedure.

Maintain the departure track, or last assigned heading for a period of 2 minutes, then resume own navigation.

Correct!

Incorrect!

Q150 According to CAR Part 91 Subpart E, the reduced takeoff minima are:

0ft cloud ceiling and visibility ≥ 500m

50ft cloud ceiling and visibility ≥ 500m

0ft cloud ceiling and visibility ≥ 800 m

Correct!

Incorrect!

Q151 You are the pilot of an aircraft following an IFR flight plan. You suffer a communication failure but are able to maintain VMC. As per the pink pages you shall squawk 7600 and:
