Flight Operations Regulations

Start with regulatory terms

This topic page brings together a small collection of user-made resources on flight operations regulations. The introductory flashcards ask about regulatory authority, the Chicago Convention and ICAO documents. They offer a starting point for becoming familiar with the terms used in other resources on the page.

The flashcards on ICAO annexes and operational procedures include prompts about standards and recommended practices, as well as definitions of different kinds of alternate aerodrome. Go through the prompts and identify any terms you want to return to before moving on to a quiz.

Practice with quizzes

The quiz on operational procedures includes a question about the location of a take-off alternate when weather conditions require one. It gives you a way to practice applying an alternate aerodrome term after working through the flashcards.

Air Operations includes a question about minimum flight attendant crew numbers under Civil Aviation Rules. Another quiz asks about the purposes for which an Air Operators Certificate is required. The flashcards on operator certification also include prompts about that certificate and the roles of nominated post holders.

Use the formats together

Flashcards can help you work through individual terms and questions. A quiz gives you another way to practice with related material. After taking a quiz, return to the relevant flashcard prompts and note which terms need more attention. The page also lists a mind map, though its title does not identify a topic to study first.
