   2. available for use in controlled airspace only
   3. area navigation routes
   4. not area navigation routes
9. Airway Z84 to Bundaberg is:
   1. an area navigation route
   2. not an area navigation route
   3. available in Class E airspace only
   4. available for operations OCTA only
10. Area navigation allows operations on:
    1. any aircraft flight path within the coverage of ground-based navigation aids only
    2. any aircraft flight path within the coverage of ground-based navigation aids, space-based navigation aids or self-contained navigation aids, or any combination of them
    3. any aircraft flight path flown within controlled airspace only
    4. an aircraft flight path for published terminal arrival (STAR) and departure (SID) procedures only
11. The LSALT specified for a route segment is only valid for which operations?
    1. RNP2
    2. RNP10
    3. for operations within the rated coverage of the navaids being used
    4. area navigation operations
12. To operate to RNP2 standards, a Part 91 IFR operation must comply with which of the following?
    1. a specific operator approval is required
    2. if approved to do so in the aircraft flight manual
    3. if the PIC is authorised to conduct RNP AR operations
    4. RNP2 operations are only permitted for Part 135 and 121 operators
13. To use an electronic flight bag (EFB) for enroute charts, what limitations apply?
    1. only for use during enroute operations, and not available for instrument approaches
    2. allowed only for VFR operations unless the PIC is endorsed to use EFB information
    3. paper charts are required in controlled airspace unless a backup device is carried
    4. provided the information comes from an approved data provider
14. Current approved data providers for EFB information include:
    1. Jeppesen, Avsoft, Garmin, Ozrunways and Foreflight
    2. Airservices Australia only
    3. any EFB data can be used and, if it has a moving map and valid GPS, it can be used for navigational purposes
    4. FAA-provided information is the only data approved for EFB use in Australia
15.  One limitation of ERC Low charts is?

    2. they are only valid up to FL110
    3. they are designed primarily for aircraft operating transcontinental and intercity capital routes.
    4. aeronautical information within terminal areas may not be complete and pilots should use a TAC or VTC
