Air Law is the PPL exam most students underestimate: it is not about flying, it is about knowing exactly what the Civil Aviation Rules say and being able to recall the number, the distance or the document without a hint. Our exam is 35 questions in 70 minutes, the same format as the Aspeq sitting, drawn fresh from a bank of 207 questions written to Subject 4 of AC61-3.
Air Law questions are short and unforgiving: a number, a distance, a document, a time limit. These three are typical of the bank. Read the option that quotes the Rule, not the one that sounds most sensible.
Answer each one and you see what the de-brief shows after a paid exam: the correct option, the reasoning and the syllabus item it came from.

Under CAR Part 91, which set of documents MUST be carried on board a New Zealand registered aircraft during a domestic cross-country flight?
CAR 91.111 lists the mandatory documents for flight, which include the Aircraft Flight Manual, Technical Log, Weight & Balance forms, and charts; personal pilot logbooks are not required on domestic flights.
Non-dangerous goods and baggage may be carried in an aircraft cabin provided:
CAR 91.211 requires all loose items, cargo, and baggage to be adequately secured to prevent sudden shifting that could alter the CG or injure occupants during turbulence or an emergency.
The dropping of objects from an aircraft in flight is:
CAR 91.235 permits the dropping of objects from an aircraft in flight provided the pilot takes reasonable precautions to ensure it does not create a hazard to persons or property.
In Air Law a wrong answer is usually a wrong number, and the de-brief gives you the right one with the rule it came from, so you can open Part 91 and see it for yourself. Do that for every wrong answer and the numbers start to stick.
After a paid exam it is emailed to you as well, so it is still there the night before the real sitting.
Q16 When is a transponder legally required to be operated in 'Mode C' (Altitude Reporting)?
CAR 91.247 requires that if a transponder is equipped with Mode C (altitude reporting) capability, it must be operated continuously whenever the transponder is switched on to assist TCAS and ATC systems.

Every question is tagged with its syllabus code, so a wrong answer on 4.32.16 tells you precisely which page of Part 91 to open. When you submit, the score, the pass or fail against the 70% mark and a written de-brief are on screen and in your inbox.
Air Law is not a reading exam, it is a recall exam. The students who pass it comfortably have turned the Rules into a handful of tables and then tested themselves against the clock until the tables are second nature.
Our Air Law exam is 35 questions with 70 minutes on the clock, matched to the Aspeq PPL sitting. The pass mark for every PPL written exam is 70% under rule 61.17(b).
Mostly Parts 1, 12, 61, 91 and the airspace rules in Part 71, plus the AIP New Zealand for airspace, aerodrome and SAR procedures. Subject 4 of AC61-3 lists every topic.
No. Aspeq exams are confidential. Ours are written independently to the same syllabus, in the same style, and every rationale cites the rule so you can verify the answer.
