Operational Procedures

Operational Procedures covers the rules and practices that govern the safe conduct of flights. Topics include Visual Flight Rules (VFR) operations, Special VFR, VFR flight in controlled and uncontrolled airspace, altimeter setting procedures (QNH, QFE, QNE), wake turbulence categories and separation, runway incursion prevention, terrain and obstacle clearance, cold weather operations, mountain flying considerations, bird strike risk management, and the carriage and handling of dangerous goods. The subject also addresses emergency and abnormal procedures: loss of communication, inadvertent entry into IMC, emergency descents, and fire drills. Operational Procedures questions often present scenario-based situations requiring you to apply multiple rules simultaneously — combining knowledge from Air Law, Navigation, and Communications.
